Two things: one, none of the other bands under discussion would exist if not for the Ramones. They are the most influential American band, and I don't think you can't argue that.

Nobody said Nirvana because that's a terrible answer. Great as they were, they were pretty one-dimensional, and they really had one breakthrough album. The bands they inspired are all lifeless droning hacks that pollute FM radio to this day. No one's on the level of the Beatles, but Nirvana isn't on the level of…

Your wife was Cha-boned last night!

To be fair, Boomers (specifically Tom Brokaw) called the WWII generation "The Greatest Generation" and it stuck. Because, of course, the Boomers' perspective on everything is the only one that matters.

Hipster Recycling: as a former substitute teacher, you can't get fired for coming up with an inventive lesson plan. Hell, only one of the schools I taught at expected me to even *have* a lesson plan. My job was: keep the kids in the room. That's it. Maybe you're at a higher class of school than I was in, but it…

Bender, Michael Cera has issues? Apart from being despised on these comment boards?

I was so disappointed the day I found out Chone Figgins' name was pronounced like Sean, and didn't rhyme with phone. Because that would be an awesome thing to name your kids. And also, we don't need any more alternate spellings for Sean. (Thanks, Chan Marshall!)

Yeah, that show had some promise when it was about a guy who tries to do good things but is really bad at it because he's had no practice. Lots of potential for comedy there. But after half a season, it devolved into "I learned sumpin' today! Helpin' people shore feels good!" Fucking scientologists.

I decided to flip over to Letterman after Colbert, and I changed the channel in time to hear, "…and for obvious reasons, I'm not going to speak of this again." I spent 10 minutes puzzling out what it was (subsequent jokes indicated it was about his sex life, but nothing beyond that), before I gave in and turned to…

Lots of bad words can be said about Common. Hell, lots of pretty weak shit has been said *by* Common. Remember the line on that Kanye track about how "truth is hard to find / like the remote"? Wow, that's deep. Please tell me the guy who did Resurrection wasn't around to hear that.

He's the guy from Little Britain. This whole "Brother Ali" thing is a Borat-style stunt. "I'm a blind albino!" Yeah, sure you are. Now do the guy in the wheelchair.

One thing that bothered me was that it happened so fast. Jim proposes this idea at a mid-day meeting, and by closing time he's been promoted? At my job, if you want to get someone a dollar-an-hour raise, it takes months. I can't believe that, even if Wallace were gung-ho about the idea from the beginning and…

I'm assuming there aren't a shitload of jobs in Scranton if you're a paper salesman.

Well, I think they knew if they were going to do more than 14 episodes, they'd need more than four characters. And pretty much every sitcom relies more heavily on supporting characters as it enters middle age. Look at Cheers - early on, it was Sam & Diane every week. By the last few seasons, how many Lillith…

Shlub wins the internet.

Yeah, McShane would be perfect. Which is why it'd never happen.

I can confirm that JJ Trek was incredibly faithful to the original, moreso even than the last few movies or TV shows.

So, let me see if I understand your original point. Your shitty software fucked up your songs, therefore fuck the software that actually works and doesn't have any of those problems. And that makes logical sense to you? Are you Sarah Palin?

Some commenter here had a nice theory that they already did an A-Team movie, a prequel, called Three Kings. Clooney=Hannibal, Marky Mark=Faceman, Cube=B.A., Spike Jonez=Murdoch.

Historically, NBC has always been the best network, but they've been pissing that all away lately. Stupid Jay Leno show.
