I don't know if it could be more literal than the first season, when Deb was fucking the Ice Truck Killer.

Deb doesn't even come close to cursing at a PhD level. Her cursing is so forced and awkward that she comes off sounding like (a) a struggling ESL student, (b) two kids on each other's shoulders in an overcoat, or (c) James T. Kirk in 20th century San Francisco.

I meant to say "like me", although "like the Gallagher brothers" might have worked too.

It's possible that Clint Eastwood wasn't a bigger hit because most people are like and can't stand the sound of Damon Albarn's voice and accent.

I wouldn't trust that IA guy as far as I could throw him. He not only tried to betray the USS Voyager to the Kazon but also delivered a trigger for a suitcase nuke to Abu Fayed that caused the deaths of 12,000 LA residents.

The "fuck me in both ears" thing is just another example of Deb's inability to swear fluently. Her cursing always feels awkwardly shoehorned in and like she's speaking in a non-native language. "Holy Jesus on a stick, fuck me twice on Sunday!"

Simpsons porn is gross
What makes it disgusting isn't the incest and pedophilia. It's the off-model uncanny valley aspect that results from amateur pornographers trying to render familiar characters. If that stuff were actually coming out of the Film Roman studio, it wouldn't be half as stomach-turning.

Hey SimonBarnes …

"The Visitor" is not only a top-five Star Trek episode but also the primary reason I clicked the link to this interview. I'd say it's the best DS9 episode, in fact. And Tony Todd is at least half the reason it's so good; he and Avery Brooks are simply excellent in it.

Kes didn't look half as good as she sounded. Jennifer Lien has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard. I'd say they should make her the new voice of the ship's computer now that Majel Barrett is gone, but then every episode would have to be a sexy holodeck fantasy.

In retrospect, I kind of like to think that Harry Groener is just playing his character from "Dear John" in "Tin Man". I can see shy, divorced Ralph finally leaving the One-2-One club to find a perfect rebound partner in a sentient alien spaceship.

Vash definitely had a Mimi Rogers thing going on. You could probably cut some key scenes from Full Body Massage into Captain's Holiday to really illustrate Risa's role as a pleasure planet.

There's a reason that Eddie Vedder spawned a million imitators and that Chris Cornell didn't: It's a hell of a lot harder to imitate Chris Cornell.

I still know people who insist that the actual name of the band is Bush X, like I'm just too unobservant to have noticed the little super-scripted letter. "No, no — they're called Bush X! Look at the album cover."

There definitely needs to be more love for Screaming Trees here. Sweet Oblivion, to me, is the album from this era that holds up best, though this might be because of their relative lack of commercial success: Unlike "Ten", for instance, it didn't get overplayed and played out.

I'm positive there must be a mini-trampoline just off-camera. I can't get over how Sudekis seems to just drop in from the sky.

You know who else put on an elaborate and entertaining display of showmanship on SNL? MC Hammer. But that doesn't mean "Addams Groove" is a good song.

By "worst", you must mean "blurriest".

The problem is that Nathan has long since ceased to offer any observations or insight in addition to his condemnation of the show's misogyny and sexism. He's simply become a joyless scold and a bore without anything substantial to say.

The most other obvious guest host who needs to start coming back regularly is Five-Timer Tom Hanks. Jack Black is a near-Five Timer who tends to really bring it in his appearances. As for former cast members, get Will Ferrell.
