Best movie of all time, in my opinion. I watch it with my mom every Christmas, and as a 24 year old male I can say I weep like a baby during the final scene every damn time. The waterworks break instantaneously with Harry Bailey delivering the line, "a toast to my big brother George: the richest man in town."

Well put littlealex. About 50% of what comes out of my mouth is a Simpsons quote, and when I have to preface it with, "it's from the Simpsons," I'm so disappointed with the listener. It's almost impossible to pick a favorite quote, but lately this one has tickled my fancy

It IS the greatest piece of creative output of the second half of the 20th Century. I am an absolute Simpsons nut, but it pales in comparison to my love for Calvin. It is without question my favorite piece of any pop culture.

The last good season was Season 11, and the last episode of that season was indeed Behind the Laughter. I consider that to be the turning point, the "jump the shark" moment if you will. Season 11 includes one of the greatest Simpsons quotes of all time, by the way, weirdly enough spoken by Mark McGwire:

There is indeed a deer hunting season that lasts barely a month in the winter up in these parts. If you watch Packer games at Lambeau during this pocket, you'll notice that about 60% of the crowd is donned in blaze orange, as the entire male population in GB hunts deer and watches the Packers. Aside from bratwurst,

How about the "getting into the Sequoias" instead of you know, just leaving for the store. Or anytime Padma's voice is blatantly dubbed in on an edit "explaining" something to the chefs.

Yes! I actually thought the two funniest moments in the history of the show happened tonight, the first with Jeff's oat crazy downtrodden comment like he realized mid-sentence that his dish had completely sapped his will to live. The other being Fabio's hilariously random "grown man in bunky-bed" comment as he was

Honestly, Spike
As a lifelong Wisconsinite, I was and am still mightily offended by your abject refusal to include cheese. This guy is and always will be Top Chef's Top Tool.

Flawed challenge
This was the most flawed elimination I've ever seen. The contestants didn't go up against each other, but escaped elimination purely based on luck of the draw. If they were all susceptible to elimination, Leah's ridiculously uninspired steak would have been torn apart by the judges, and that heinous

Actually Clueless, the syndicated Meredith version of Millionaire just added time limits to the questions. You play beat the clock now.

A Beautiful Mind
Anyone? I know when I first saw it in the theaters, I didn't know anything about it and assumed the plot was about this dude figuring shit out and breaking codes for Ed Harris/the government. Not so much.

Freaks and Geeks was definitely his masterpiece, but everything else is damn funny as well. 40 Year old Virgin, Achorman, Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall were all hilarious. I don't know what people are exactly looking for when watching a comedy.

If you know a better way to get ice, I'd like to hear it.

Obviously there's a cutoff once you start playing baseball at an actually competitive level, that being high school. That's why I specified it happened in 8th grade.

Uh, do you really want Big Bird manning the front? She'd surely drive all the customers away as soon as they stepped into the place and saw the freakishly large avian creature greeting them.

Oh man, ain't that the truth. In 8th grade, I got sent to right field from my normal 2nd base position because the coach's son "played" 2nd as well. I was obviously much better, threw an entitlement fit I'm sure had something to do with my raging puberty-riden hormones and walked off the field, never to return to

Spike getting clownstomped after the frozen scallop comment was the best moment in the history of the show. That piece of crap really needed someone to do that to him at some point, and he personally provided the ammunition.

Well put, Chivo. I despised this movie so much I've had a hard time putting into words how to describe and explain such disdain. You have done it perfectly and I thank you.

Benjamin Button was terrible. First of all, 3 hours. Second of all, everything that CC said above. People around me in the theater were crying at points and I honestly didn't know why. I had no clue who I was supposed to feel feelings for, I mean the guy aged backwards for crying out loud.

Well, lieutenant, normally I would throw in the appropriate Simpsons reference, but when it comes to Queen Latifah, Family Guy has the funniest quote, so there it is.
