The whole reason the sketch is funny
Macgruber is supposedly capable of disarming some bomb, has 20 seconds to do so, but gets easily distracted and the building blows up. Its simplistic, slapstick, but it works because we get it in 30 second bites.

More explanation on MJ's Dad?
I know he beat him etc, but what did he do this past week?

I thought The Corrections was significantly better.

Damn. Well, your musings here were particularly interesting to me after listening to "light bigotry" at a 4th BBQ after perhaps a few too many drinks.

Why this is great Hater
This is not as obvious a Hater item, but the fact that CBS appears to think that they stumbled upon some great piece of social discussion is hilarious. Nice.

I don't think I've ever taken an issue with a grade before Transformers 2. The avblog post explaining why we shouldn't care too much actually explained it pretty well - but jesus - if there was ever a litmus for what should be an F, the lowest of the low, it was Transformers 2.
