A list of comedies made by people who would be embarrassed if anyone saw them laughing.

Great idea for a new feature. I only saw the first couple of episodes of Fringe, and was shocked when people started praising it in later seasons. I plan on catching up.

"True believers" is my favorite euphemism for "clueless buffoons."

"Grandma, he worked really hard."
"So do washing machines."

I really like Christmas Vacation, but the first is the best.

Anybody else think that Gary's speech was about 10 percent as amazingly hilarious as Mandel seems to think?

"Get your shit together or you will be canceled in 6 months."

I typed that before seeing the other comments below. Sorry about that, but thanks for replying to each one individually.

The Fighter, SLP and American Hustle aren't movies, they're artistic collaborations designed to get as many Oscar nominations as possible. There's no need to sit through any of them more than once. Or once.

"The "don't feed the trolls" scene was funny, but that seems like an odd phrase for someone like Jimmy, who doesn't seem particularly internet-savvy, to have referenced in 2002."

"DIFFERING OPINIONS ARE WEIRD DUH-HURRRRR" - You

Yeah, vadasz, all those times you laughed? They don't count because it wasn't actual comedy. Let some AV Club doucher teach you how comedy REALLY works. Never forget: ART IS NOT SUBJECTIVE.

"No, I'm sorry. That's not how comedy works."

Season 4 is the Finnegan's Wake of sitcoms, and I still can't decide if that's a compliment. I've watched it enough to recognize its flaws, but my God, there has to be thousands of jokes and gags crammed into its runtime.

Chardee MacDennis might be my all-time favorite episode. It's certainly the ep I've rewatched the most.

Aside from "Frank's Brother," I love the Fat Mac season. And even "Frank's Brother" gave us Shadynasty.

So, no Frasier, and no Always Sunny? I AM LODGING A COMPLAINT!

"Swift’s commitment to always putting 13 tracks on a record (it’s her lucky number!) "

No, it's a guy talking about a subpar Nirvana song but having no clue what he's talking about. Kurt Cobain invented Eddie Vedder's voice? WHO KNEW?!?

I liked how the guy's thesis was pretty much destroyed with the writer's second question, so he spends the rest of the interview being a rambly douche.
