Exactly. The writers intend them to be this way.

I edited that into my previous comment in later so you probably couldn't see it. I'll write it here, it works as a reply to what you just said:

I fucking adore American Graffiti, so this is very hard for me to understand.

Sometimes I get the distinct feeling that the show would make no sense if I hadn't read the books.

Yeah, I agree with that wholeheartedly.

Haha, you watch Girls.

I don't fervently adore it myself, to be honest. I'm quite fond of the books and I watch the show to see how they come to life.

Wait, are you serious? Tell me what shows you watch nowadays so I can see if you have terrible taste and then dismiss your opinion.

Yes, you'd be right that it sounds terrible….but is actually awesome.

Uh, yeah.

We need to go to Vegas.

Bill Cosby is their loose cannon/mysterious black guy every team has.

I fucking love Darkwing Duck. Would that I could upvote this more. Would that this post could will it into existence.

Cat got your tongue.

Middle guy looks like Todd Barry and Michael Stipe had a child. Uncanny, I know.

Money ain't a currency. Currency is a money.

Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!

Can we please have a goddamned Swat Kats movie? Today's kids don't have enough fighter-jets fighting monsters in their lives. I know I don't.

A good friend gifted me American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

I think, if you love something, you owe it to yourself to try as hard as possible to understand it.
