Well, I saw MANY episodes of this show, and I find the obsession with Dustin Diamond and his Screech character — ESPECIALLY as irony or kitsch — to be incredibly old and stale.

Barrymore? Good?!
I hate Barrymore as much as the next guy but I gotta admit she was good in this, and although I thought the dialogue got a little corny and obvious at times I think you do get a lot more out of this than watching the documentary, which just drops you into the Beales' life without much context aside…
Townhall's comments section
…They really do have a monopoly on internet stupidity. The columnists are pretty hilarious as well, particularly the odious Kevin McCullough… Seriously, that guy makes Ann Coulter sound like a paragon of sanity.
smauis, you're not. I think it's become so popular in part because it's pretty much acceptable in any company… I've yet to meet anyone so uptight they're offended by it… That's also part of the reason why it's so boring.

Start with Earthquake Glue
I would definitely start with Earthquake Glue… very accessible fully-formed alternative rock tunes with some catchy hooks, particularly "My Kind of Soldier" and the lovely ballad "The Best of Jill Hives". I haven't found anything else by them I like nearly as much, but I haven't heard all…
Not a good way to start your day, however it is a GREAT date movie.

SUDDENLY S'MORES
Anyone remember these? Microwaveable s'mores? They sold 'em in the late-80's/early 90's? You threw them in on high for something like 15 seconds and then scrambled to stop the microwave before the marshmallow exploded? Well, at any rate, they were awesome. Not quite like a s'more because they were…
You mean because back in junior high Robot Chicken's "Hey, remember 80's cartoons?" reference humor would have seemed cutting-edge?

Is She Really Going Out With Him?
Wow, is MTV making a Joe Jackson reference with that show name? It's impossible to imagine that anyone in MTV's current viewing audience or anyone who stars in their reality shows have ever heard Look Sharp, but it's nice of them to acknowledge the existence of good music in some…

Futurechimp, I am aware that you increase awareness about any topic exponentially by posting about it on the AV Club comment board, so I'd just like to say: AIDS.
Pretend she is a chicken pox pustule that would contaminate your finger if you acknowledged it, and then eventually you'd touch your eye and get itchy lumps of pus on your eyeball.
A modest request
PLEASE stop paying attention to Sarah Palin. Stop paying attention to her, her family, and anyone who's ever been associated with her in any way. Even if you have a negative opinion about her, please don't express it. Just swallow your feelings on this one, please. Pretend that she never existed, that…
BRING BACK AMERICA'S FUNNIEST PEOPLE
And come to the Bergen Mall in Paramus, NJ! I do a KILLER Impersonation of Jack Nicholson. Will totally do it in front of B. Dalton's Booksellers while people crowd around. Also, I have this idea for a character called the Jackelope that's part bunny, part antelope. Plus I do…
Yeah, that was really annoying. Er, I mean it was endearingly quirky and clever! That's what they were going for, right? And FUN!
