Cracked isn't as prestigious as McSweeney's, which has had writers like Joyce Carol Oates contribute content over the years. It's much easier to write a list for Cracked than to write something for McSweeney's.

Red head on the couch is Cheryl. She was deemed to be too "sexual," and was taken out of the comics before they put her back in in 2012 (again, this is from wikipedia).

Archie dated Cheryl at some point. I think it was to take away some of the tension surrounding the Betty vs. Veronica debate (I'm basing this off wikipedia, so this is pretty much just a guess).

Thank you.

For some reason I imagine Lena Dunham's Archie to be like this, but with more nudity.

Also, I feel like they have some quintessential episodes that will go down in sitcom history ("The One with the Embryos," for example) as being influential in creating sitcom mythology.

That's probably my favorite moment from the series. I also love the reveal in the blanket fort that Bea Arthur still talks to her dead husband like Dewey talks to his imaginary friend and the moment when they have the same favorite button in Bea Arthur's button collection.

I feel like if Friends didn't drag out too long with ten seasons and it ended with Rachel leaving Ross instead of coming back (like the writers originally planned), it would be regarded more highly.

I don't think New Girl knew what it wanted to be when it started. I think the Seinfeld influence was just that of Elizabeth Meriwether drawing upon sitcoms she grew up with and the fact that she seems like a pretty neurotic person who just put her own quirks into the characters to give them more depth (which is pretty

I remember reading an exerpt from this on Slate about Seinfeld and it seemed like a rehash of everything you could find on the internet about sitcoms for free (especially on Ken Levine's blog. Which is far more interesting as he was actually there for some epic sitcom moments, such as sitting in the audience for The

They watched British football together that time in season 2.
And Jeff got Duncan off on a drunk driving charge.
If Oliver was there for season 3, it'd probably feel more organic.

Britta:Are they even speaking English?
Duncan: Alright! German techno it is.

Abed looking at Troy's empty chair broke my heart.

No more than he did last week.

I'm now going to be disappointed if a "Jim the Duck," comic of some form is not released to the public.

I feel like last week was one of those "either you loved it or you didn't," episodes.

Lincoln was great in this episode. I loved when he complained to the dog about Ilana hanging up without saying "goodbye."

I feel like if "Working Girls," wasn't so awesome, this episode would have easily been an A-. It made "Stolen Phone," a tad bit underwhelming when comparing last week to this week.

"Oh my god. He likes Roseanne? This is— this is your new sexual partner."

Parker Posey, Eugene Mirman and Garrett? Hell the fuck yes!
