"2006's disappointing At War With The Mystics" - I agree completely. Actually, after The Soft Bulletin I thought Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was pretty damn disappointing as well, even though it did have some pretty good tracks.

Welcome Mike in your AV Club debut. Hopefully you don't have a chip on your shoulder and poo-poo everything you see (which is what it sounds like) because if there's something I can't stand is a movie critic who just likes being a prickly pear. I'm looking at you, Joel Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal (and I've…

"1. Standing and 2. Hat."

Lifetime Pass for Norm McDonald starting at the 5:00 mark in this video from Conan: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Colin Quinn, man I loved Tough Crowd and thought he was great on Weekend Update, his shitty, half-nervous delivery and self-loathing were genuinley hilarious to me. But I can pinpoint the exact moment I started to think, man, he's kind of a douche: it was on Tough Crowd, a couple of months before they got cancelled…

Theodore Donald Karabotsos, I like where you're going with this. On the other, other hand, could you please pass the jelly?

What if I already have herpes, do I not have herpes now? Not that I have herpes or anything.

I am a douche. I don't brag about not watching TV though. I just looked it up and it is that show, and I do remember watching the horrible pilot whenever that was and thinking the show had no chance whatsoever of getting picked up

is that the show with the nerds, and the kid from roseanne? i thought that show only had two or three episodes before getting cut in the first season
