You’re so cool, Brewster!

I’ll buy that for a dollar!

I tell this story a lot so sorry if you’ve heard it before.

Zack, I’m super happy to see you here. No other AV Club writer would be as right for this show. Here’s hoping the viewing experience can match or even transcend the anticipation.

“William? Nooo... Nooo... William...is dead.”

Came to say this, take your star.

That’s just the right reference when you’re pitching a show for kids!

Oh, man, I shot Marvin in the face!

Ron Mexico

Holy shit!

Doesn’t that whole routine seem like the most prescient thing now? Cosby’s reputation is deservedly in the shitter now and Pryor is still canonized.

The Kirov is the one I keep and play every year, starting around Halloween. It’s about perfect.

Deep cut.

Word

This was legitimately hilarious and I’m a little sad Lee didn’t actually write it himself, but thanks for bothering to research and sharing the results.

Extant

I saw the original Robocop at the theater on my 17th birthday. The woman selling tickets actually said ‘Happy Birthday’ when I handed over my ID.

This. I can’t believe how far down in the comments I had to dig to find “The Contest”. This is the easy choice for me.

I had to beg a ride with a friend going to Austin for the day to catch the movie—it didn’t play in my town (I live in Austin now). I had her drop me at the theater and pick me up after; I watched it alone. At the time I was more excited to see it because of Public Enemy than Spike Lee. But the previews and the clips…

Best believe!
