What do you mean?  He stored tofu at a temperature he was very exacting about.  I want to know more.

"In one of the most dedicatedly obnoxious performances ever attempted by a major movie star, Pupkin is a jittery, obsequious bulldozer of needy self-regard…"

Got a kick out of Scott Pilgrim — watched it in theater with my 10 y.o. niece, both of us running a Fun Dip sugar high, which was the perfect way to see that thing.  :)

Nor their presence in Bad Santa
And are we counting Eternal Sunshine… among comedies?

You talking about Up the Academy?  I heard that didn't really capture MAD very well, but it's from 1980, not 1983…

Let's not forget the women of the Castle Anthrax. They were but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen and a half, cut off in that castle with no one to protect them! Oh, they endured a lonely life — bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear…. They were just not

Willis would have almost run out of there, then stopped and considered an array of potential weapons lying around the bike shop, selecting the coolest one to dole out a terrible reckoning on Mr. Horton.

Yeah I just rewatched it, and I'm with you and Donna, too.  Aside from the shit jokes and occasional clumsiness, it's actually a well-done, effective presentation on the issue, I think.

I thought the best Belvedere jokes were the one where they had to quit early because Mr. Belvedere sat on his balls, or the amusing Belvedere-saturated episode of Ned and Stacey, where the actor is discovered fencing electronics out of his home, when Ned or Eric decides to bring him into his household and treat him

Salami went on to be roundly mocked for his marble-mouthed speech patterns in Master Ninja (tv's The Master) and eventually made good with an enviable career directing respectable tv like The Sopranos.   Gabagool!

In real life, Cosby got revenge on Diff'rent Strokes by making the one white kid on his show the unnamed fat kid, or as we might know him, Lil' Porkins.

It took years for Woody to perfect the chameleon routine.  In TAKE THE MONEY he tries to blend in with the prison population and briefly turns into a rabbi.  In ANNIE HALL he tries to remain inconspicuous among Diane Keaton's WASP family, but just turns into a rabbi again.  It wasn't until ZELIG that he nailed it, and

The Sam kidnapping was disturbing.  He should have died on his way back to his home planet, obviously.   It's a planet of My Buddy dolls.

Read about it in Horton Hears a Whooping! (His Own)

Saw the original airing at age 12.  It's sad that the doofy Diff'rent Strokes tried to help me, while my local parish was privately doing the opposite, acting as a way-station for errant priests.

Watching this I must admit to feeling a little like the Merchant Banker.

That happened on Flight of the Conchords too, I think

Gordon Jump's next long-running commercial gig was that of a man who despaired quietly, alone, because no one would call him on the phone.  Coincidence?  Karma?  Dylan Baker never got to play The Lizard, either.  Connect the dots people.

A guy in college used to go around publicly saying "rim me when I fart" and giggling. Senior year he started always wearing a tie because he felt it would put him in the serious mindset to better make the transition to the workforce.  I think he still said his catchphrase, though.

1983 Jumps, order of popularity?
