I love that an episode about how ridiculous people can be about being politically correct received a tepid review for not being socially conscious enough.

Asian men being treated like real people on TV is great, but is getting to have sex with white women really the best metric for that?

I'm a three-foot cock, captain - you gotta let me fly!

Sometimes I wonder if the scheduling is a legitimate Gravity Falls code.

I recently started rewatching the series on Netflix, and I had to watch that one out of order ahead of time specifically for that scene. I'm studying to become an educator, and Mr. Weir's ability to foster Nick's interest through actual realistic advice for achieving a lofty goal rather than giving a variation on…

Definitely a great TV dad. He's not about to soapbox or explain every facet of life that pops up because he (and his kids) have better things to do. Your only lesson is watching his example, and your only speech is when you actually need it.

So wonderful to see a shout-out for one of The Greatest Movies of All Time, "Joe Versus the Volcano". A solid answer to the question as well, seeing as the film is about becoming the kind of person who can love another person rather than fall in love.

The vacuum comment was supposed to be about their relationships (i.e. each only has one - with each other) and not about the cultural first paragraph; I guess I didn't segue cleanly enough. Anyway, the only response I can offer to your thought is that I think your beef might be more with society than with this show. …

Personally, I think they knocked it out of the park with Carol, all things considered. First, characters have to be identifiable, but few characters are identifiable to every living person. Slobby white man and particular (but always right!) white woman are broad generalizations that win over most of the target…

I've never *needed* a laugh track so desperately in my life. This does not have the same easy watchability that his live interview bombs have. At least in those, the people on the street feel bad for him, but also think he's funny - it loses its lightness when everyone in the pre-taped sketch actively and visibly…

Did anybody else take a really long time to get into Sleater-Kinney? I've tried three of their albums now, and I just have to stop halfway through, usually. Like, I get that they're good songwriters, but it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Do you just get used to it, or should I finally accept that I don't…

So Bo Burnham's "what." missed out on 2013's list because you didn't wait until the end of 2013, and he missed 2014's list because he didn't release it in 2014. The AV Club owes the best comedy special of the last two years a little recognition.

Top acting awards should NOT go to Tom Cavanagh; he is nearly at Anne Hathaway levels of visibly acting for the camera. I partly blame the writers for giving him stupidly esoteric lines and… making him slow clap? Come on, guys.

Love what you said about badass TV; I was watching Breaking Bad on Netflix (just started S4 at the time) when I watched the first episode of Rectify. I took a break from BB to finish up S1 of Rectify, and I still haven't picked it back up. I also tried starting Hannibal because of the massive, throbbing erection…

Couldn't believe I "ctrl+f"d and no one in the comments seconded Handlen's Joe Versus the Volcano pick. That is seriously the feel-good movie to end all feel-good movies. Not a difficult task, but still.

U!

More like "Socks, original package still in." Hey-o!

The slow dribble of slobber spilling onto the floor, and growing as Dwight slowly rises up until he finally wipes it from his mouth is such a great piece of physical comedy that I'll never know how they did it on purpose.

"Grief Counseling" is one of my favorite episodes of "The Office" precisely because it doesn't seem airy to me at all. The show's central relationship now is placed in real jeopardy. Sure, the Stamford move was a pretty big obstacle, but Pam called off her engagement and Jim was obviously never going to stay away…

IMHO, that's why the last episode of S3 is the best finale that never was. There have been few if any points in time where the lives of over ten individual people were made perfect for at least one moment, yet it happens in 90% of finales. A finale must have loose ends by necessity because people's lives don't end…
