We could just remind them of the time he hosted the show?

This joke may not have landed, but Justine did—IN HOT WATER

If the spectrum is wide enough, aren't we all on it?

Completely unrelatedly—just saw Beasts of the Southern Wild and have some thoughts on its young star…

"I'm sorry, but what's your source for the chicken's motivation for crossing the road? Is he or she willing to go on the record?"

It's above average for SNL anyway.

I like the idea of that being true, pal.

Niiiiiice

I actually have Terrible Human Being Disorder, but THBD doesn't get the recognition that other disorders do, because everyone always concludes that it couldn't happen to anyone more deserving.

Only Paul Rudd continues defying my otherwise totally cogent "Clueless Curse" theory—seriously, what has Wallace Shawn done since?!

I guess I wonder what you mean when you say "pay attention to him." He's the president and I feel like if we ignore him, he'll do terrible things. Don't we need to pay attention really closely?

A touche!

There's a M*A*S*H episode where they're surrounded by all this death and mayhem and Hot Lips Houlihan doesn't lose it until a stray dog that she was feeding gets hit by a Jeep.

Milo & Otis 2000 was a hit! It nearly drove pugs out of existence!

I thought this band already broke up at one point because the two dudes had a really toxic relationship.

*Opens a new Google doc and starts outlining the story of a young, West Coast stripper who moves to Atlanta where the big city, classically trained strippers don't like her rough, street-smart stripper style, only for them to team up, meld their respective strengths and in the big strip-off, beat the Houston stripping

I think people—on websites I read—have been saying "This is the team no one wants to face" once they beat Seattle, but I think Vegas keeps putting them as underdogs for good reasons. I mean, they got blown out by the Tennessee Titans!
