The make-up and prosthetics on T'raaltix are fascinating. It's a brilliant design, he sort of looks like a villain from a '40s movie who's melting and rotting at the same time. The tube coming out of his nose kind of looks like a pencil-thin mustache is an ingenious design flourish. (Now that I think about it, he

ABC really NBC'd this show.

I actually thought the mom yelling at the waiter about the temperature was spot-on. My mom is always, *always* without fail cold whenever she goes out anywhere and always asks that they turn up the heat.

Don't Trust the Bamapana In Apartment 23

Sayonara hey!

Damn, that last episode was surprisingly heartfelt. Sad to see this show go, TV needs more borderline-sociopathic live action cartoons. (EDIT: I may or may not stand by this statement at a later date)

I don't remember, honestly. It's not a book I've ever re-read.

"What do you hear about the new Muppet musical?"
"They brought down the house!"
"So the crowd liked it?"
"I didn't say that. Crazy Harry sat on his detonator and he brought the building down!"
"Ho ho ho ho ho ho!"

There's no such thing as an errant boomerang fish; it always comes back to where it started.

She gets the absolute worst of it, and she's guilty of nothing more than enjoying himself and wanting to be creative.

"Ow, I fell on my knife."

I think the teacher on the show actually did a brilliant job of selling it, I'm talking about real life, where our teacher did pitch an axe murder in the first ten pages.

I did a lot of movie-themed Halloween costumes when I was a kid: C-3PO, Groucho Marx, Elwood Blues.

I definitely had to read Crime & Punishment in 9th grade. We had to read (I think) two chapters, or fifty pages or something a night, and we'd go over what we read in class, so we had a pretty good grasp of what was going on.

I love that scene where Becky Anne Baker is having a conversation with her family and keeps going back to random lines from "The Monster Mash," like she's trying to get everyone to sing along. That just really resonates for some reason.

I was really surprised by the Mystery Science Theater cameos. It was a great surprise.

Now I'm thinking about mixing The Narrator's running commentary with the "previously on" segments from the '60s Batman show.

I can't help it, I love 3rd wave.

My bad, @BooUrns I didn't catch that. Haven't seen the movie since college.

The guy played by Matthew Lillard… *checks imdb* Brock Hudson. 
There's that scene where they're in bed, watching TV, and he's watching himself on The Real World talking about what he's going to do.
