Agreed.  That movie is not to be watched for the plot, it's for the gags and the phrase "Stunt Cock!"

Rodney Dangerfield was a figment of Ted Knight's imagination the whole time.

Yep, and there was that whole Internal Affairs investigation that never resolved in season 4.  It just went away, and then Deb ends up falling in love with him despite all that IA stuff and then never asking him about it while dating him.

What about in Season 3 of The Wire when Rawles is seen in the gay bar having a grand ol' time?  I always wondered if that little point would get fleshed out.  I mean, the no. 2 cop in Baltimore being gay?  That would have made for some gooooood TV.

It's not really like that, but close.

I don't know, the "Frat Boy Fandom" really soured groups like Dave Matthews Band and Sublime for me.

Bart: Hey, what's that club for?
Lou: It's called a "nightstick."
Bart: What's it used for?

They say that anybody can float in the Dead Sea, but Patty sunk straight to the bottom…

I loved the screwdriver call back in the final tag to when Barney's Dad showed him how to use tools to take down the basketball hoop. awwwwww

Is the Cockamouse the "return of a much beloved character" they've been talking about?

I'm so happy they included the Buddy Rich reference in Sabotage. I love explaining that lyric to my music students.

TOASTY!

I still like how the judging panel was Lunchlady Doris and Bleeding Gums Murphy. But I currently cannot recall the 3rd offhand.

Hey, rewind the play 5 minutes, because I couldn't pay attention because that fat motherfucker was talking!

You guys are forgetting that a bunch of nerds wrote this article. So of course it's not a comprehensive list.

Agreed. I like it when the episodes have a theme to their titles like Scrubs episodes were always "My ______" or Mr. Show was always an odd line from the episode.
