"That's the most flattering thing anyone has ever said to me. Can I have it in writing?"
"Of course"
"Not insane. Hmm!"

Live chat?
Please tell me AV Club is doing a live chat. It's the only while I'll be able to survive watching the Oscars without an absurd amount of alcohol.

DISREGARD: SEE PREVIOUS

How I thought tonight's show would end
(Gandalf is about to shoot both Archer and Lana but gets eaten by the alligator. A beat.)
Archer: Small miracles, Lana. Small Miracles.

I woud agree. Though I'm a bit concerned by my mother asking me to "download that song that big band played. It was catchy!"

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
So happy.

Plenty of song references also, such as my favorite clip ever:

OK then, nevermind. Real friends it is. Enjoy your tub of Ben & Jerrys, you smelly anti-social jerkoffs.

RELATED: John and Scott at UCB NYC AV Club meetup?
Any NYC AV Clubbers wanna meet up for Scott Adist (Pete) and John Lutz (Lutz) doing a two-man improv show at the UCB theatre? There's still tickets for February 16 and 23, which is the next two Wednesdays. Speak now before I invite actual, real friends*.

Don't do drugs, kids.

For God sakes, man. Stop reviewing bad shows! It can't be good for your health! I NEED YOU ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO ENTER THE PASSWORD, OR THE KINDERGARTENERS HOLDING ADORABLE KITTENS ARE DONE FOR.

Bandwagon Magoo
So much TV, SO LITTLE TIME. I've been meaning to check out this show for a while, but I haven't had time to watch S2 (which is where the majority say I should start.) If I hop on the bandwagon for tonight's premiere, will I be able to pick up on everything (and just watch S2 at a later date)? Or should…

This is MTV. Don't read too much into it. You'll get a headache. Anything intended to be symbolic, metaphorical, or even the attempt to color in characters with some depth and emotional weight is purely accidentally.

I read Plato's Apology last year, so now I know what the word Gadfly means! I didn't even have to Google it. Hooray for education!

So bad
Truly awful, unoriginal garbage. And I even kind of like Jim Carrey. The only reason I watched was for The Black Keys, who made a music video funnier than anything SNL has done in recent seasons.

Somebody needs to pitch this to a network. I'll be goddamned if here in the U.S.A. I'll be denied my Ebert and Hawking review/crimefighting show.

I have to agree. I'd rather let it be as the short, cult game that it was rather than expand it and stretch it out to nothing.

"What's different between you and me is you're going to hell when you die."
I really loved the paragraph on how we use certain objects and phrases as keys to unlock deeper emotions with those we love, because The Sopranos nails this perfectly. There's this great moment ** VERY MINOR SPOILERS ** in Whitecaps where Tony…
