I vaguely remember skimming through an academic essay on phrases like "Hasta la vista, baby" being racist.  I believe it's in this book - which has one of the most insufferably White Guiltiest titles ever: http://www.amazon.com/Every…

I've definitely noticed that the oldies stations around Chicago are absorbing a lot of classic rock songs, and even a few from the 80's.

Dr Venture is a prog rock fan too. I guess Adult Swim writers know their audience.

Shaun, the unrepentantly dickish probation officer from Misfits, made apathy an art form.

"Backpfeifengesicht." So appropriate.

I hated Stan Valchek the most, personally.  I hope his van is still circumnavigating the globe.

Obligatory moment of pedantry: it was Flavor Aid.

Or the syrup, to be more apropos.

I'll cover all our bases with "harumph!" and "kakaw!"

Oh, I've considered Pam nailable for several episodes now.

Tossing waffles at strippers = I want to party with Pam.  And that was before the reveal that she wins at sex.

The Nirvana plotline wouldn't work in a 2000's setting.  And as cliche as the movie's climax is, it's not as head-scratching as the Nirvana plotline.

My favorite part of the trailer is that its stinger line is a toast to a successful business partnership.  At least they know their audience.

Maybe it's just for YouTube. I'm confused myself. Obviously on HBO they can say anything, whereas on basic cable you can say "shit" occasionally if you want or something like that.

The episode was so enjoyably loony I almost wish people did celebrate Leap Day this way.

That picture is the ultimate "late 2000's network serial drama" cast shot.  How much do you want to bet one of those characters speaks in subtitles?

She was rather fetching with bangs on Misfits.

They had a moment at the very beginning alluding to that subplot-in-the-making but it was thankfully dropped.

Why be an architect when you could be a city planner?

Watch the OSS 117 films (or at least the first one).  He's a charisma machine.
