Now that he's turned his comment into an attack on Republicans, I agree with Karatloz.

Never a bad time for an ATHF reference, Sheltie.

I loved this episode, too. Every time the characters sink further into the gutter is always a good episode to me, and I don't think Dee can sink any lower than bailing on a disabled war veteran. And the wrestling fight was wall-to-wall hilarious.

Wow, four people so far!

Best line ever
CP: They're even going to make a "sexy Elvira" costume.

Are you kidding
The first line of this show is Jeff Dunham saying, "Either I'm hallucinating, or this is the Jeff Dunham show!" Then he brings out that old puppet who says that "they'll give anybody a TV show," and Dunham asks how he knows that, and the old puppet says, "Three words: Jeff Dunham Show!"

Yeah, his reaction was weird. Slapstick comedies and thrillers have taught me that getting a vase smashed on your head is an immediate KO.

Yeah, I've had some bad sunburns in my life, but never so bad that my eyeballs started steaming.

BOOO. This movie was great, you stupid American audiences!

Couldn't agree more about SNL. She was a real stand-out. It's ridiculous that she's not as ubiquitous as Fey or Poehler.

I don't mean to suggest that all art should be thoroughly realized from the start, but I'd hope that critical moments in the film, like the story of the goy's teeth or the use of "Somebody to Love," had more thought put into them than a gut feeling.

SNOW WHITE RETURNS…
…and THIS TIME, she ain't eating no apple.

Serious Man
As someone who's spent the past week trying to piece together a coherent interpretation of A Serious Man, I'm a little disheartened when they say that they inserted certain events and stories for the "right feel."

One thing Moe Szyslak has never had is a partner. Nor a wife, a friend, a chum, a casual acquaintance, a pen pal, a parrot, a meaningful conversation, a brief hug, or eye contact.

Godfather patio scene
This man is responsible for the greatest scene in the history of cinema. You should have talked to him about it, AVClub! No, I don't care if it wasn't relevant to the interview!

Always with the fighting
I was pretty disappointed with the Simpsons tonight. I don't know why the writers feel the need to have the third acts all be life-threatening situations these days. Couldn't Marge have fought against the UFC guy in a realistic way, like with parent protests or citizen activism or whatever?

This woman is not sure if the Earth is round
She didn't even know there was a time before Jesus! SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF B.C.

Simpsons and the hack joke conversation
One issue I have with the Simpsons, at least in the later years, is the frequent digression into hack-jokey conversations/monologues, like with tonight's bit with Moe/Carl/the female executive talking about the editing.

Just to correct one thing Ocean said — it's been made pretty clear by Obama that any public option will be funded by premiums. The only advantage it will have over private insurance is not having a profit motive. People who use it will still have to pay for it, and it won't be allowed to operate at a loss.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that Don was terse with her about the champagne because of any problem he has with her. I agree he's just pouting about his own disappointment with the meeting. But Peggy definitely was trying to have some sort of friendly chat; there's no way their conversation last week isn't weighing on
