I love that Oooooohhh cat!

Word.   It's like Jerry explained to George about salsa.   People just like saying "The Sucklord."

Johnny's right that Beef Wellington is indistinguishable from a French dish, bœuf en croûte.  On the other hand, Chris should have gotten dinged for not calling it by the French name, and for buying pastry.   On the gripping hand, there's no way for us to second-guess food shows, because we don't know which food…

I was interested by Simon's comment that "Toy art is hot right now!"  
 
On the one hand, sometimes The Sucklord seems like the most self-aware person on the show.   On the other, sometimes he seems like he's incredibly lucky that (1) he likes playing with toys, and (2) right now, the art world believes that playing…

Great review.
 
IMHO, I thought Young's piece hit the WOA:TNGA sweet spot even without the markers.   It's intriguing, visually appealing, but metaphorically opaque, so you spend some time thinking about what the artist is trying to do without getting the idea that he's making it up or getting angry about looking at an…

The best bit was Chris not even really trying to connect his final dessert to his family.   "This was the best dessert I ever made, and I won a big competition with it, and, um, I was dating my wife at the time, so she might have heard about it several hundred times."  
 
I would have at least made up some story about…

Gail's astonishing, and a great judge to boot.   Johnny was also displaying some serious guns last night.

I love the idea that versions of the Cortexifan kids are still alive.  I miss those guys.

"Sucklord" would be an awful name, but "The Sucklord" is awesome.  
 
It's the "The" that makes all the difference.

Best joke David Spade ever told, from Hollywood Minute:

"What, exactly, does it take, to be the *crazy* Jackson?"

Pam has some awesome dialogue and delivery, but she has now TWICE failed to kill Tara because of a need to monologue. Until she reads the evil overlords list, she will continue be awesome in theory, lame in practice.

1) He works hard because he hasn't scored yet, right?

Mutton
The single funniest thing in the wink is mutton. The word is funny, the meat is funny, and Jerry pretending to like it is hilarious.

Status signifier
Cook's a status/tribal signifier. I hate Dane Cook for the same reason I hate Jay Leno and Kenny G — to demonstrate my sophisticated tastes. At some point, hipster trends will come around, and I'll appreciate all three, possibly ironically, like I now appreciate cheap beer.

Wait, this album posits that the FULFILLMENT of the civil rights movement is Jay Z and Kanye? Like if the people who were beaten or killed could look in the future and see those two and only those two, they'd say "It was all so worth it"?

I Robot
I just rewatched this for the first time in years and it's not nearly as bad as I remember.

Well, in-show, each of their blood is a magic love potion to the other one.

Correction
" . . . Auto-Tune on most of the tracks, which allowed him to sing (or "sing") as much as rap."

Kanye is not exactly like Hitler
Like Hitler, Kanye is unable to rap.
