Pippity poppity, gimme the zoppity.

"Each week I'm supposed to go down to the factory and do a spot-check. And the one year I blow it off, this happens…" is my favorite quote. Just such a subtle line reading that you can easily miss that he literally has not been doing his job the whole year. My wife didn't catch that until we re-watched that episode

Dave Hill was also in the Cat Park sketch, and he was hilarious in it. Amy casts great guests.

Took me a while to place the quote, then I literally smacked my forehead when I realized how obvious it was. Nicely done.

Agreed. From Season 2 onwards, especially after the Men's Warehouse-styled Steak Me Home Tonight TV ad, Dave was always cracking me up. He was like the male Britta of Happy Endings, and it worked perfectly. He and the show will be missed.

Hamm sarcastically answering, "What, like, Hershey's?" when Ken The Pirate came in with Cutler and asked Don to name a chocolate was just phenomenal. The look on Hamm's face, a sort of joy that he knows he's about to hear something he already knows about Hershey's, was a hidden highlight in an episode full of them.

He got into ridiculously good shape for The 40 Year Old Virgin, but I'm not sure about the hair thing. I always thought they combed his hair back and maybe even cut it a little in S1 to make it seem like he was an average, impotent balding boss in his 40s.

She clearly doesn't get how chemistry works if she thinks alcohol is somehow absorbed into the solid ice, but still, she's drunk so I forgive her.

I always took it that Dwight was educating himself in this episode so that he could finally propose a sexual relationship with either Kelly or Angela. There are a couple of early episodes where Dwight is interested in Kelly, but obviously he ends up with Angela. I forget which episode first makes that clear between he

Another one that always amazed me that they got it on NBC, during "Sexual Harassment":

Farm makes much more sense than fight, but I always thought it was fight too. And I always thought this was "one winged dove," since she was singing out a song of pain, right? This really blew my mind right here.

Not that bizarre. She tried to take on a position of power in the argument with Abe, that failed. She tried to take on a position of power in the pitch with Heinz, that failed MISERABLY. She needed to control something, and the young guy in the theater tried to go up her skirt, and she turned that down, opting to be

El Chupacabra and El ChupacaBRO on Mad Men together? Yes please. I'm hoping Hamm shows up on Kroll Show S2 as Chupacabro, that would be the best.

That battle is so well-illustrated. I was probably about 9 when those issues came out, and I could practically hear the battle in my head. The rest of the street staring on in awed silence, the crunching of the bones and debris, it was really captivating and well-done.

I loved the Dwight/Pam dynamic in that episode.

The reveal that he had only been doing the stuff with the doll for 2 days made me laugh out loud so hard because I did not expect it at all.

Let's not look past Duvall's presence in the live setting. He KILLS the Layne material, and is a terrific frontman when he has the solo mic. But when he straps on the rhythm guitar (and does some soloing/lead lines too) and sing in harmony with Jerry, he's almost better! Just a great live band they are now with him,

This album has grown on me with each subsequent listen. I loved, LOVED, Black Gives Way To Blue, and this one is definitely as good, if not better.

I imagine that Seth Rogen's laughter is echoing throughout the halls of hell at all times

The episodes of him by himself are not that good, but the interviews with other wrestlers and wrestling personalities have been great.
