White Jedis have names like Lenny, but black Jedis have names like Carl.

Even though it was apparently unintentional, isn't depicting Jamie's action as a rape rather than as a rape that turns consensual (as it happens in the books) better? I mean, in both cases, he was raping Cersei. As it appears in the show, the full reality of that hits home. In the book, Martin plays with the…

So… this isn't about the Democratic Order of Planets?

But Springtime for Hitler was a huge success!

I thought there might be some meta-irony that the entire episode was sort-of a rip-off of "The Power of the Crimp," given that, you know, that episode is also about someone stealing the main characters' crimping.  Or, you know, there was no irony or homage, just sort of a rip-off.

That's the problem, you should be.

Fourth episode you say?  Too bad we'll never see her on it - this show has a "canceled after three episodes" vibe to it.

I lose ten pounds in sweat taking a shvitz, that doesn't make it a sport.

He's the Duke of Earl, not the Earl of Earl.

I think it's minus a whole for gender, plus half for sexuality.  Within the show's logic, that is.

I don't think you understand what a superlative is.  If it read "This show is the show that is the most from the creatingest creator of Two-and-a-Halfest Men," that would be a superlative.  The word you're thinking of is adjective.

Lousy Democrats.

Psh, that's not the joke.  It's: "Bogomils?  I like 'em better when they were called Zoroastrians."  Judaism doesn't have a Manichean enough worldview for that joke to work!

Those eyes of his.  Those eyes just draw you in.  They're the sexiest eyes.

Of course it would be a terrible idea.  Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress co-hosting, now that would be a great idea and is totally a realistic expectation.

If they wanted to go with a lesbian comic, to do a 180 from last year, why not Tig Notaro?

Figures, since he is Ellen DeGeneres.

@avclub-e1124c85b8750ec73766ed905c3ff2b2:disqus Yeah, that's basically what I was getting at.  It seems unproductive so say that Homer wrote fanfic, but it's hard to come up with a definition of fanfic that doesn't include Homer - I suppose if you say that the original work had to published or from another single…

You mean the bizarre, convoluted, "that's not how you play chess" chess scenes from Code Geass didn't make chess incredibly popular in Japan?

Does every work not by Lovecraft in the Cthulhu Mythos count?  If so, then yes.  Also, if you're defining fanfic loosely, than something like Ariosto's Orlando Furioso might count, seeing as how it's a continuation of the unfinished Orlando Innamorato and an expansion on the medieval epic/mythic cycle built up around…
