Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme

I was telling my sister about Mock the Week once and she heard it as Mock the Weak, which is so much better as a title that I could never really feel the same about the actual show. Luckily there's an alternative.

"Name a poisonous snake."
"Piers Morgan."
[klaxon]

Dead fly on head, comme-ca.

I love that its name is Bosco.

"Zuko! Over there! Isn't that your honor?"
"WHERE?"

The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willy.

"I had a ham-and-bourbon sammich."

Worst pickup line of all time? “Wanna go back to my house and watch ourselves on the show?”

Of course he was, the bastard.

They showed one of the Angels moving onscreen, though. It's funny, they'd only been in one episode at that point but it felt like almost as big a deal to me as the TV movie saying the Doctor was half human or the new Daleks or any of the other things people get upset over. I liked the two-parter, but I really wish

I'm watching BtVS on Netflix for the first time right now (not counting the odd episode over the years) and I put "Hush" on while trying to fall asleep a few nights ago, figuring I'd catch up on whatever I'd missed the next day. First everyone loses their voices, and I'm thinking, "aw, well, this isn't going to work

I wouldn't say I was scared by it (to be honest, I'll take "creepy" or "unsettling," but anyone over about thirteen talking about how terrified they were by an episode of Doctor Who makes me roll my eyes), but "Midnight" is the best thing Russell Davies did with the show by miles.

I don't think I ever would've guessed who it was. It looks like he ensnared that woman by pretending to be Dustin Hoffman.

George: "Yesterday I had a soft-boiled egg and a quickie. You know what? If I could add TV to the equation, that would really be the ultimate."
Jerry: "George, we're trying to have a civilization here."

Somewhere there's someone who's such a fanatical fan that he hasn't seen a game in years, because he thinks he noticed his team always won when he couldn't watch. There must be a movie or something that has that guy as a character, right?

Worst. Comment. Ever.

Yeah, I did like Weber and his character. I remember wishing he would be the one to get with Amanda Peet, instead of Danny.

Or he posts those notes just in case.

I think that was the episode (was it a two-parter?) that made me stop watching, because it was both more coherent than most of them and completely infuriating. It was like, "Oh, I see, THIS is what he's trying to do!… Well, fuck that shit."
