"Tell that motherfucker *I* said have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up… jell-o puddin' eatin' motherfucker."

I actually watched this one…. an A-? Wow, this show has gone downhill.

What you're suggesting is that, because they are surrounded by cultural diversity, it is their duty to go out and collect people of different races and invite them into the group's social circle. You don't suggest any number of such persons per se, but certainly more than one. There's the quota.

Which is more racist, for the white people who hang out together due to some sort of shared background/ cultural experience to be depicted hanging out together, or for you to demand that said white people sacrifice the continuity of the show's backstory and immediate present orbit just to satisfy your minority quota?

"because this season has seemed dedicated to proving that nobody's an island"…. you could have based your poet reference on John Donne. Instead you chose Whitman, who is the only thing more played out and ridiculous than Lena Dunham herself. A terrible choice.

MAKE ROCKET GO NOW!

no the latter there is just being a living adult. A bender is getting shitfaced for five or six days at a time.

Gene Wilder could take over…

lately I've noticed him wearing a gold bracelet on his right wrist, which seems really out of place. Perhaps he sells used cars on the weekends.

When he slyly corrects people's poor pronunciation of French words (because CANADA!) I cringe. It is just so terribly insulting. Also, his use of the phrase "boo hiss" is at the height of televised jackassery.

The investigator was juuuussst short of being creepily omniscient. "I know about the drugs, and the hookers, yes Peter… but I also know about how you cough in movie theaters even when you don't have to, just to be an ass. I know about the handicap parking sticker and I know about the crack in your mother's vase that

When you drink before noon to stop the hangover and it turns into another binge, you're in bender town.

Dylan Thomas sure could cheer up a room…

Yeah, and Pam's extended pantomime with the gyro seemed to drag out way past its prime, Family Guy style.

Upon reading "Krieger was fuckin' that pig" I immediately wanted to argue but… no, it all makes too much terrible sense.

This is what happens when people apply some kind of overwrought, imagined cultural significance to something that could never be so important as they imagine. Phish is a band. Bands make music. Typically (elevators and lobbys notwithstanding) people can choose to listen to whatever music they like and to ignore

No no, someone further down the thread. Apologies I should have been specific.

Even though I have given in and decided to watch Girls as a fan, I can't help but cringe when I read these saccharine articles and reviews so hyperbolic and affected that one begins to believe that Todd does not watch Girls as a critic but rather as a devotee of a cult. If he isn't trolling us, then Todd writes these

In the black and white photo with Betty, Megan looks a lot like Keith Richards circa 1972…

This is the last episode of Community I'll watch. The timing seemed off and the actors seemed disinterested in the program. Their line delivery was forced and the jokes were threadbare stabs at the kind of thing that used to make the show funny. I don't like to say these things, but there it is. I don't think
