As a NES generation kid growing up in Boston, I can attest the Pats weren't in the original Tecmo Bowl, but the Tecmo Super Bowl version was, in fact, terrible with John Stephens at RB the only bright spot.

Wouldn't it be great if someone actually created the paint drying channel, so whenever someone makes that statement we as a society could force them to actually watch it for 3 hours and then report back to us?

It actually reminded me of a Norm McDonald joke that I saw or heard lately, except it was a lot more compact and it was a rattlesnake instead of a lion.

Agreed. There was a punk station on Sirius for a little while, pre-merger, and then they turned it into the Tony Hawk station or some shit. Meanwhile, they give us, what, 15 metal and hard rock channels?

I thought the rape scene was very tastefully done.

I always felt like Jason Segel put in the bravest performance on that show. But maybe that's because my personal experiences in high school lined up more firmly with his than any other character.

They already tried that. It was called Bonds on Bonds and it was terrible because he refuses to embrace his villainy.

"thanks, by the way"

The Heidi Watney food-tasting tour is mind-numbingly useless. She seems like she's constantly auditioning for a FOX News morning show.

As for Joe Morgan, I recall liking him when he first started and now can barely even remember him. I've always felt like most of the invictive shot his way was centered around the rise of Moneyball and advanced stats, plus the proliferation of sports blogging (and general internet writing) and his stubborn hatred…

Joe Buck is a decent football announcer, but unless it's the World Series, or the Yankees and/or Cardinals are playing, he always sounds like he's about to fall asleep during baseball broadcasts. I always feel like the only reason he announces baseball as well is because he feels like he's paying tribute to his dad,…

It's a contrast to the later-season Pablo Neruda joke, where I believe the joke is that Bart really is aware of the works of Pablo Neruda.

Also, I may me misinterpreting Rabin's sarcasm, but I believe he's reading the line incorrectly. To me, the humor is inherent in the fact that Homer has no idea what the principles of the Buddha are, or probably who the Buddha even is. But he still has righteous indignation over being called out about it, and (in…

You're forgetting the first two noble principles of the Buddha
No I'm not!

"Bake him away toys" is always cited as the great Wiggum line in Cape Feare, but I've always been partial to his line right before it:

I thought the boxing scenes in The Fighter were some of the best ever done. Making the camera shots so accurately match how HBO broadcasts boxing was a really engaging touch.

So just because you thought a movie wasn't good it "doesn't deserve" cult status? I didn't realize you were the arbiter of cult status. Please share with us your thoughts on all the other cult movies, so that I make sure not to continue misusing the term on movies that "don't deserve" it.

The reason Land of the Lost the movie wasn't good is because the original TV show wasn't good. It's looked upon fondly for nostalgia purposes only. You may as well have expected a good Smurfs movie.

He would if that African Muslim was busy winning titles for a Texan team.
