I think he was probably just happy to get some positive attention.

As he was onstage and also a professional comedian I assume Dane Cook probably thought it was funny (humor being subjective and all.)

For a nerd his list is lacking in Hobbit action

It looks the same, composition-wise, but I can't help noticing it feels a little different. I think the colors and (relative) lack of elaborate sets make it feel more like Bottle Rocket?

The middle east is rich and varied in culture and yet every single trailer vaguely related to it uses the same fucking song.

Korn doing a dubstep album is one of the saddest things ever. They waited like 7 years too long to dump the Nu-Metal and 2 years too long to get on Dubstep. They're also about 20 years too old for either of those things.

Since he was in this episode I feel this is the place to mention this: I was rewatching Season 2 yesterday and Brandana-quits gives Anne "Dennis Feinstein's Yearning" for Valentine's Day (Her reaction: "Oooh, Dennis. No, Dennis."). The Tommy Fresh episode where he appears wasn't until Season 3.

I should have added that it's been awhile since I've watched it. These were my vague recollections.

That makes a lot of sense, actually. There's something still really satisfying about those noises. The trailer makes it sound like they actually use the originals.

I was indeed under that impression as I hear he is quite lucrative.

Ignoring everything else that's wrong with this trailer: wasn't the humor in the Three Stooges derived from the lightning-paced, almost-incomprehensible 3-way physical assaults? Every eye-poke and hammer-hit in this trailer was so deliberate and easy to follow (in the worst way possible).

Would you say they have a result-based fighting style?

When I first read the casting I assumed that his character would constantly be demanding pictures of the Avatar.

Wow I didn't even realize that was him. That's some solid voice acting.

I guess I should say late Beatle/early solo stuff because I actually totally agree with you. Near the end of the Beatles Paul's stuff started getting really grating to me (Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Back in the USSR, Baby I'm Amazed. etc.) but you're right, I actually really hate a lot of John's solo stuff post-imagine…

The Gerry/Gary thing might be one of my favorite Parks and Rec jokes ever. They managed to take the "wrong-name" trope to the extreme while simultaneously turning it into a pitch-perfect character joke.

It's a Courtney Love Christmas!

I've always thought that John Lennon's "Merry Xmas (War is Over)" and Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" are pretty representative of each artists' late-Beatle/solo work. One is has somewhat pretentious, clumsily-political lyrics over catchy, well-constructed, bittersweet music. The other has…
