Not searching through 1100 comments to see if it's already been mentioned, but I just came here to say: The Ramones - "I Wanna Be Sedated". A brilliant punk rock joke that can't be effectively retold (making it the best kind of joke).

I was hoping for a mention of Stag. Not a great film by any stretch, but it was the first time I'd seem him deliberately try to play the polar opposite (or maybe logical endpoint) of his Brat Pack roles…all oily, morally bankrupt, and bad teeth.
You're right. Oops. Reading is hard. Redacted. Can we chalk it up to Fridayitis?
So the choices are: a) be uncool or b) be a hipster d-bag douchnozzle? I guess I'll stick to being uncool. I was never cool anyway, so it feels natural.
Sorry, just not a fan of "not really a mashup, just a bunch of randos rerecording songs but with different lyrics and we're not Weird Al, so we should probably not do it". Try again, Internet.
The AV Club is just something I skim for 13 days while waiting for the next MWOF. I nearly jumped ship when the other writers I enjoyed left for the Dissolve (check out Nabin's series "Forgotbusters" over there—it's a kindred spirit to MWOF), but hung around because of Heller and O'Neal. Now it's mostly GJI and Trump…
Terrorvision, FTW.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at, but failed miserably. It's rightly held up as a movie that transcends its otherwise tawdry subject matter.
Caged Heat is fun for what it is. But it would have stuck out like a sore thumb on this list, I guess. But I'm the type who gets more enjoyment out of over-the-top exploitation cheese than dramatic people acting dramatically in a drama. But he could do comedy, music, drama, "genre"…quite versatile, he was.
They recently remodeled the Wendy's in my town. It was closed for months, then opened with a whole new crew. Now it's the absolute slowest restaurant in town. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to get a 4 for $4 at a non-rush time…4pm, 8pm, 11am…no matter when you go, you're gonna wait. And the drive thru line is never less…
Yeah, a little bummed, but totally not surprised. The theme song kicked all kinds of ass, though. Too bad the show couldn't rise to the same level.
From the looks of some recent setlists, it looks like he likes throwing in covers and letting members of his band/crew take lead from time to time. And there's typically a 5-6 song encore, making each setlist about 30 songs long. If you're a fan, that's getting your money's worth.
I'm sticking with it until the bitter end. I like everybody in it, I think it's got a good premise, but like many others, I also feel that there's something that's keeping it from being as great as could be. I want to see if, at the end, I feel more like "darn, I wish they could have given it more time—it was finally…
Tickets for the shows within my driving distance went on sale two weeks ago and are all already sold out. Thanks for the heads up!
Looks like the tweet has been deleted. I am strangely sad.
Looking at the screenshots did it for me. Not gonna try the video.
Hey, where's Perry?
I watched this a year ago, but apparently didn't pay much attention. I thought the whole thing took place in NYC. But then, I'm from the sticks. Every big city = NYC.
I loaded up the iPod with Slowdive and Blackalicious in preparation for seeing them both live very soon. Threw in some Spoon, just in case I decide to go to that show as well. Putting it on random works better than you'd think.
I'm so punch-drunk from even my favorite pop culture website being invaded by non-stop Trump news, that I was legitimately shocked to find that this article was about real, actual, eggs. For eating.
