I'm pretty sure it smells like dog shit now too. And dill pickles. And the atmosphere must be thick with hairspray.

J-Woww's dad
J-Woww's dad looked like a member of a '70s British prog-rock band. He looked like the keyboardist from Emerson, Lake & Woww.

Same shit, different toilet, as J-Woww would put it.

Of course Deena cockblocked Vinny, and she was right to do so. It wasn't because of any kind of Angelina-like desire to make sure no one had fun. By preventing that hook-up, she protected both Snooki (who would have been upset and jealous) and her friend (who was quite likely to be mistreated by someone with an…

I would argue that it's because Community fans seem to crawl into every other thread on this board and derail the conversation with off-topic praise for their show. If I'm reading the Office or 30 Rock recap, it's because I want to hear about those shows, not how awesome Community is. By getting trolled in their own…

And how long has NBC known the Final Four would be happening and who had the rights? There was plenty of time.

Exactly. They should have done what Freaks and Geeks did when the show was moved from Saturday to Monday and had the opportunity to pick up a new audience: They aired the episode "Carded and Discarded", which Paul Feig described as a "second pilot" designed to introduce the show to new viewers.

Oh, you're right. Why would any show want to increase its viewership? I don't know.

Where Community screwed up tonight
Community really dropped the ball tonight by putting on a deliberately inaccessible and not-very-funny episode up against Final Four basketball. This was its golden opportunity to hook viewers who ordinarily watch the Big Bang Theory and were flipping around looking for another…

Well, there is in fact a TOS episode predicated on the idea that the Nazis were evil but had some useful ideas. So it's not totally off-topic.

I only found out after reading the AV Club article about Nick Lowe last week that "Queen of Hearts" was originally done by Dave Edmunds and Rockpile. It blew my mind and gave me an excuse to like that song.

I'm pretty sure that this story arc will end with Lily found dead in her bathtub, having bled out from a severed femoral artery.

The sad thing is that I did mouse over the link and see the URL but assumed that surely they AV Club would give me a warning if it really wasn't safe and that they'd probably linked to a bare-bones printer-friendly version of the interview or something without animated ads full of tits on the side. Now I know.

Lou Reed hang-up interview link is NSFW
Thanks for the warning about naked breasts popping up on my computer here at work when I clicked through to what turned out to be a Playboy interview, guys.

The closet comparable I can think of is Sarah Slean, in that their sound is similar and they both have that weirdo gene.

Yeah, that was me. I do get the "getting famous" interpretation, but in my defense, wouldn't you expect anything that comes out of (or into) the Situation's mouth to about fellatio?

I think it's worth adding was that half the reason he bombed was that he simply looked so much like an unlikable douchebag. Anyone who didn't already know who he was surely would have hated his smug, sunglassed face on first sight.

The cornball gags in that "Pickin' and Grinnin' " clip almost destroyed my boundless love of banjo music, and I can't decide if the fake laughter can be enjoyed ironically enough to improve things.

Some of his jokes weren't just weak — they didn't even really make much sense. An example of that is telling Whitney Cummings that she couldn't be a grenade because she wasn't going to blow up. Does "blow up" equal "blow the Situation"? Does Whitney badly want to be on the giving end during the act or oral sex?

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the Situation's roast performance was the biggest disaster anywhere in the world this week.
