Big Red Letter Media fans these guys. And I feel safe in assuming that they are guys.

That's good, but I think you want to get a bit more obscure. Maybe: "Who do I look like, Richard Daystrom? ………The inventor of Duotronic circuitry?"

If she ever makes a triangle with her fingers in front of those bangs, then you'd better run because there is no defense against the Ki-Ko-Ho Crane School technique.

That film exists. It is called Galaxy Quest.

I went to college in Maine and my friends and I loved 'Maine Justice' when it aired. A few weeks after that episode we also stumbled upon 'Potato Chip' online. On the fifth viewing or so, we noticed the hemorrhoid donut would seem to indicate that this was the same character years apart. However, there was no

That Skeletor doesn't even makes sense. Dude was jacked as shit. Damn kids and their shoddy pop culture references. Who were they… Dennis Miller?

Great Job Internet! doesn't seem to understand the difference between fantasy and reality. Were all worried for you Great Job Internet! and urge you to seek help with your demons.

This is why I keep reading the AVClub. Only one this site could commentators have a discussion about themes of masculinity and excess in big-budget movies that not only ends intelligently, but amicably as well.

I realize that none of us really come to the AVC expecting detailed and knowledgeable comparisons between the political and military capabilities of various nations and religious/ideological extremist groups, but come on. The idea that a group of no more than 30000 committed militant fighters and a few hundred

I always start people off with the Smallop on Michael "Iron Mike" Malloy. From there I'd recommend all the ones mentioned above, but add in the Newport Sex Scandal and/or the Egg Nog Riot. It's best to wait on most of the live episodes until the listener has got a better grasp on the usual rhythms of the podcast

I was convinced that the scene of Dark Helmet luring the Princess with a vision of her parent that should, never, ever work was a parody of that same scene in Masters of the Universe because they are so so similar. Then I found out that Spaceballs came out before that movie. I take this as proof that there is no God

Battlestar Galactica

Ethan Allen was a hilariously aggressive dick whose aggressively diskish behavior was not only responsible for helping convince Benedict Arnold to betray the Continental Army, but also was hugely responsible for Vermont not being part of upstate New York.

I'm pretty sure they used to in the first few years because the clips used to be a lot shorter and Paul used to make specific reference to funny things he had forgotten about. They just stopped once the podcast found its grove and there were just too many good ones to leave off. (Also I suspect, but could never

ONE is a writer who is very good at playing to the reader's expectations about characters and the tropes they embody and then undercutting them by shooting holes through those same tropes. This works so well because his plotting is structured the same way as an American comic or a long-running Shounen series and helps

I would put CCH Pounder in there somewhere as well.

This year is full of so many grepisodes. The one that really stuck with me since last winter is Be My Guest, Literally! with the indiegogo contributor guest. Everybody puts in a great performance, but when Scott has to bring the show to a halt to remind listeners that the Cambridge/Harvard educated corporate-banking

The subtitles on this video are delightfully nonsensical.

It's so weird to watch the careers of webcomic artists I loved in college mature, radically change, stagnate, or end. Some went on to work in animation, some in comic books, some continually rework their comic with new styles and characters while others simply spin in a rut with what works for them.

That is, almost exactly, how I started listening to CBB. Loved Patten Oswalt, searched for podcasts with him in them, found that episode of CBB, never left CBB.
