I happen to find the term "yellowface" highly offensive to Jaundiced-Americans.

Even HBO has a limit for pretentious bullshit?

Even in this promotional still, the look on Chris Pratt's face says "I knew 'Parks & Rec' couldn't last forever, but I still never thought I'd sink so low as to share billing with a space raccoon."

Alas, it looks like the group even failed at Item #8, "Did Not Try to Sniff Glue."

"SLIGHTLY HIGHER GRADES! SLIGHTLY HIGHER GRADES!"

It's all been done before. There's a fine line between acknowledging history, and fetishizing it.

Oh sweet Jeebus, really? Even the term "pretentious" isn't pretentious enough to describe this drivel.

I can't describe the joy I felt watching this.

To be fair, most of those road blockades were probably for actual murder investigations.

I'd never heard of Johnston until I caught an Austin City Limits performance of "Life in Vain" with him accompanied by The Swell Season. A very plaintive, and poignant, little song… one that I think could have only come from someone wracked by mental illness.

You have the last two flipped around.

THANK YOU! I also say "bless you" to this very day, and I always think of this movie when I do it. Also: "…she opened my car door button."

NO. I always hope a part of an Upworthy writer's soul dies a little whenever someone answers their questions honestly.

OCD Rules!

Relative to the rest of MSNBC, sure.

Exhibit "A" of how far removed The Simpsons is from reality: holding up Rachel Maddow as an example of a successful cable host.

You think Residence Inns are bleak? Trying spending 48 hours at Extended Stay America.

"Master and Commander" is an underrated gem of a movie. Its only weakness is not being quite strong enough (neither structurally nor actual ticket sales) to launch a franchise like the studio had hoped.

I got notifications for five awesome TV shows… just for this?

This has probably been mentioned already in at least a few of those 3,678 comments, but the first thing I thought when I saw Marie was, "no more purple!"
