Well, I had to stop her SCREAMING!!

Do we really want John Oliver's movie career to take off? It may be selfish, but a successful film career would mean no more Schoolhouse Rock parodies on The Daily Show.

Son of a Preacher Man
is my stand-by, but the problem is that there are about 5 different versions of that song on karaoke lists, all in different keys and with different weird pauses. So you end up looking like an idiot when it's not the Dusty Springfield version.

How do people not know Brandy?!? Unbelievable - that song's catchy as hell and a lot of fun to sing.

No love for George?
If nothing else, I thought his getting "Life of Brian" made would get him some respect here. Not to mention his never-ending support of the Rutles and Rutland television.

"Wait! The next piece is an atonal medley by Philip Glass!"
(everyone, including orchestra, runs screaming)

What, you think an alien's gonna get a job? You think…you think it's gonna be like, "Let me quit this sea invasion and go to college?" No, they're gonna swim a little, but they ain't gonna walk. And in the end, you gonna get respect.

Awesome to see Bill Bailey getting some love; his emo song is brilliant:

The chase scene in What's Up, Doc?
"I can't see!!"
"There's nothing to see, really - we're inside a Chinese dragon."

And you can't find your waitress
With a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends
And you just can't get served without her

It's a different sort of tombstone.

Now you're not going to read about this dimension in a book or a magazine, because it exists nowhere but in my own mind.

Plus, he can do this:

Count me in on the Rob Brydon love; he's brilliant in his own right, but there's something about the hyper-competitiveness when he's paired with Coogan…

No SCTV?
Not that I don't love what you have scheduled (really looking forward to Homicide), but are you ever going to move on to the second season of SCTV? I need my Vikings and Beekeepers!!

I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.

Faaaaaaaarian…

Thank you for the Blonde On Blonde love - that album deserves a spot in the top 5 just for "Visions of Johanna" alone.

Don't know if it's the arrangement or the singers or both, but when the gearshift happens at the end of "Cherish," I always feel like half the band wasn't quite ready for it. Weird tuning issues.

"Motherfuckers come to me and say, 'It's a new show, Jimmy.' Talkin' shit about how it's gonna change. Shit never fuckin' changes."
