Honestly, I felt like this was probably the weakest episode of the season thus far.  It was wonderfully random and hilarious: Lemongrab asking Ice Kind how he tastes and then shrieking "MILD OR SPICY?!?!?!?", Lemongrab eating pie from the mouth of that concussed giant mouse, Lemongrab referring to Tree Trunks as…

When they start discussing the hypothetical dream scenario of Chris getting married in 2018, did anybody else notice Andy off to the side counting out how many years that was from now on his fingers.  Such a good subtle moment.  Still, I wasn't terribly impressed with the episode.  The bachelor party story was really…

@avclub-5afe6cff3afc984272487744a13e77a7:disqus That's just the kind of thing that Leslie says to people like Ann or April I think.  I think Leslie likes to imagine April as carrying out a far more stereotypical idyllic lifestyle than April would be comfortable with.  I mean, if Aubrey Plaza was pregnant, they'd have…

@avclub-cc085192f4f7ace734aa2474593aebf2:disqus No, you definitely weren't being a dick at all.  And I absolutely understand what you mean about the whole trying-to-avoid-being-an-elitist nerd thing.  It's always good to avoid being an elitist of any kind.  Your points were well made and certainly not dickish. And I…

@avclub-cc085192f4f7ace734aa2474593aebf2:disqus I'm not sure if it's really necessary for me to tag you in this comment when I'm already replying to one of your comments, but whatevs.  Look, I think that we can agree that the tone of this entire thread that you started didn't have a terribly serious tone, and so I…

@avclub-4caf6aa0375b2499ebfe7e971b36eee3:disqus Have you guys hired a new coach yet?  Because, you know, they might want to get on that pretty soon, before they get stuck with someone like fucking Whisenhunt.  Also, I don't speak Elvish, but if SportsCenter had a show for sports analysts to rant about the Browns' poor…

I dunno where you live, but here in the southeast US following hockey is more or less akin to following some sort of esoteric nerd entertainment. The vast majority of sports fans I know don't know shit about hockey, and when people talk about "Cam" in the context of sports around here, they're talking about Cam "puts…

Speaking of lampreys, I just watched one of those things get dissected yesterday for a lab.  Cool story right?  Oh, it's not that interesting of a story?  OK, it's whatever.  Lampreys are really weird though.  Don't have a jaw.  Kind of creepy animals.  What, oh, I should stop now?  OK.  Oh, I shouldn't even post this…

Esoterica is a word?  That's pretty cool.

"what the author is really asking for here is for his kid to be excused from the normal taunting that happens to every group"  No, I think he's just calling out lazy nerd jokes that rest solely on worn-out stereotypes on their bullshit.  Just as we should call out comedy about other social groups on their bullshit…

Well, I imagine there's actually enough nuance to most bits of "nerd" entertainment to actually have a discussion about said topics, albeit sometimes in a loud voice.  What are "Two and a Half Men" fans supposed to discuss in an obnoxiously loud voice, anyway?  "Hey, remember that episode where Charlie was a…

That, and the fact that virtually every depiction of someone who could have Aspergers in popular media is a white male, usually an adult nerd if it's a comedy, or someone's genius 10 year old kid if it's a serious drama.  I feel like it's probably because like you said "woman with autism = just off-putting" to many…

Well, he lives in a town where people still widely use Alta Vista, so…

Did you get the job?

Nah, I doubt they'd do that.  Adventure Time thrives on its weirdness; I'm sure Ward realizes that it doesn't need a dull logical "it was all just a dream"-esque explanation, it just is what it is.

I thought it was just a jar of miniature brooms that were for sale, but then again, the shopkeeper could have been planning on drinking them.  This is a show where Finn once ate an entire broom so he could read the thoughts of dust motes, after all.
