I think the problem with his non-standup persona is that he comes off as legitimately depressed. You just want to hug him and be like "We like you Aziz! Just dial Tom Haverford back a little and everything will be fine!"

Such a great movie. It was constantly on in the background (muted) at a restaurant I used to work at, so I've only actually seen it without sound and subtitled, but the actors (Shalhoub and the excellent Sir Ian Holm as the sleazeball rival restaurant owner in particular) are able to convey so much through their…

What a self-important twat.

This was definitely the least lazy of the new episodes so far. Each of the guest stars was used pretty well, though Craig will have to tone it down if they're going to keep him around (much in the same way that Chris is a lot more human now than he was when he got introduced).

I will never not like Riley and you can't stop me.

Exactly. Part of the reason that the Zimmerman/Trayvon incident meant so much was because Trayvon wasn't a saint, i.e. he was a real human being with faults; and Zimmerman wasn't a dyed-in-the-wool racist who had that label on him already. It exposed racism that we would rather not see and are not used to discussing…

But that only works when the viewer already thinks there are inherent "winners" and "losers" in life, which is kind of a dickish thing to think IMO. I don't have a problem with sad sack characters when they're used in relatively small doses (like Kyle on Parks and Recreation) or if the abuse they receive is comically…

Can Mike Schur pander any harder to tv-obsessed nerds?

You fool, there are no shades of grey on the AV Club. We commenters are always morally right, all the time, and fuck you for thinking otherwise.

There's the idiocy I was looking for!

Kate Mulgrew considers herself a pro-life feminist.

Is it weird if the name that caught my attention the most in the midst of all these super mega stars was Phyllis Smith as Sadness? Because seriously, that's perfect casting.

Maybe you should calm down before you have an aneurysm over the Eagles, who you clearly don't care about sooooo much.

@paraclete_pizza:disqus Wow now I know that there are people so bitter and delusional that they think "It's a Small World" is a big "fuck you" from Walt Disney to the children of the world.

You sound like you would enjoy Reddit. Maybe you should go there and stop shittening up this website.

Keep on dreamin.

What a controversial opinion to hold on this website full of liberal nerds.
