Oh, I thought the whole time he was so nervous he was mispronouncing his name. Haha.

Also Plato: fuck you bro. "[McCarthy] is letting us know that he knows more about science than we thought he did." MOTHERFUCKER HAS BEEN AT ASU FOR TWELVE YEARS AND HAS AN EXTREME INTEREST IN SCIENCE. EXACTLY HOW LITTLE DID YOU THINK HE WAS VERSED IN THE TOPIC?! FUCKIN' SHITHEAD.

I changed my mind about Ira Plato and Science Friday re: McCarthy and Herzog. Plato didn't help matters. Herzog reading a long passage of McCarthy's "All The Pretty Horses" helped immensely. Holy shit. I'm turning that into a YouTube clip immediately.

Science!

Further Elevating the Already Pristine Reputation of the AV Club Commenters Section…
I'd fuck that haughty smirk right off her fucking face.

That reminds me of my favorite YouTube montage ever: "BATMAN AND ROBIN IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME"

I like how he delivered every one of those the exact same way and weirdly stressed certain words for no reason.

because they don't just want to come right out and say "Shaun Levy"…
A-fucking-men. That's the first thing I thought when I read this headline.

Whoops, I meant Kristen Schaal's character, not Linda.

+1, Dumbledore.

Also anyone who is largely ignorant of Eugene Mirman should rectify that shit pronto. The Absurd Nightclub Comedy of Eugene Mirman is a great place to start. Also this:
