Sitcom that appears to be making fun of lame sitcom tropes by embodying them and playing them straight… What else were you expecting? Luckily it's not a singing competition or a show about unkempt rednecks who wear camo and run a tackle bait store so it'll get cancelled after three episodes.

There's humor, but it's of the pitch black variety. Todd and his neo-Nazi pals' nonchalant "just another day's work" attitude about killing two DEA agents and hauling Jesse back to their compound to force him to cook meth on a dog chain is almost funny in its bleak cruelty.

The entire film will be characters giving monologues about how Jim Belushi sucks.

This episode isn't supposed to be about story or character insights, it's about rebellion, and social and political upheaval.

I posted on the alt.tv.simpsons group for awhile back in the 90s and the people were such huge assholes. So hyper sensitive, crotchety and humorless for people who are supposedly slavishly devoted to the funniest comedy show of all time.

Stay away from my husband, yo.

If Scott Buck were the executive producer of Breaking Bad, the final season would feature a drawn-out subplot about Marie's long lost half sister who comes back into her life asking for money, and Hank would've been agonizing over telling Walt about his special feelings for him before discovering the Walt Whitman…

And all of it will be ruined with terrible Loudness Wars mastering.

It depresses me because Three Doors Down did more to ruin rock music for the 21st century by making it watered down and safe for buzzcut bros and knuckleheads in Aeropostale t-shirts.

You forgot "Resignation Superman" by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, "Silvergun Superman" by Stone Temple Pilots, "Red Ink Superman" by Robert Pollard (those last two don't really have anything to do with DC comics mythos beyond the title but might still count), and the cool "Daily Planet" by obscure Pollard side…

This article presents a strong counterpoint to the film's detractors. I particularly like the what movie does with Leland, presenting him as being more complicit in his behavior instead of being just an unwitting conduit for an evil spirit.

This is 90s power pop? Sounds more like 00s emo pop, with its gimmicky song title and self-consciously reaching for the back of the stadium singing. When I think 90s power pop, I think Beatle-esque melodies melded with cynical lyrics and distorted guitars (Posies, Teenage Fanclub, Superdrag). These kids today with…

That mannequin? He's an all-American idiot who falls into everything.

I actually don't mind smug white guys (being one myself), but I prefer comedians who have something to say or at least a unique delivery or style. Hell, I've even defended Seth Macfarlane somewhat, whose deconstruction of the whole rat pack/playboy persona can be pretty hilarious. Jeselnik seems to stick to the…

Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi in particular are a little too twee and optimistic for some people's tastes. The sweater and prop glasses wearing indie kids of today seem to prefer them but I'll take the mad scientist psyche rock of Transmissions and Clouds Taste Metallic over those two.

Seems like another smug white guy without any unique charisma or sense of comic timing making hateful jokes about fat chicks for 4-Chan /b/tards. Not the worst of his kind, but something about him rubs me the wrong way.

I like this one. It's electronic and cold but the use of old analog synths gives it a certain haunted quality which makes it as spooky as it is depressing. I hope they make one more album of semi-conventional guitar oriented pop songs before they retire, though.

tl,dr

I like surreal, dadaist humor but do not smoke weed or enjoy conventional "stoner" humor, so there.

It's somehow both a cult phenomenon and the most popular show of all time, depending on your level of fandom. That's how many levels it works on.
