So basically what you're hoping is that the AV Club will all of a sudden COMPLETELY SWITCH GEARS and abandon the focus that has been essentially unchanged since whenever the hell this whole thing started? Yes, that's a reasonable goal.

lol, Dave Cook of The Dave Cook Five? yeah, fuck that guy.

That is my reasoning for including Lubbock, yes. I've never been to Texas, incidentally, but dudes from Texas have had an enormous impact on who I am so I have to give props where it is due. Some day I will make it down there. I'm closer now than I've ever been before, so perhaps I should plan a road trip sometime…

Hey AV Club dudes
Would you guys be able to give me contact information for these two? I've got a script I want to make with them. No joke. Tell me who to email or whatever.

Demetri vs. Eugene Mirman
Who's funnier? You could say I'm comparing apples and oranges here but I find a lot of stylistic overlap between these two. I'd have to say I like Eugene more and he's more consistently funny to me, but Demetri's album is pretty awesome too. It's not as great as either of Eugene's albums…

Also, what is with the contingent of bitch-asses around here that are so violently opposed to people finding stuff they don't find funny funny? Good lord people, it's not like they said they want to rape your dog or something, all they said is they find Demetri Martin/Tim & Eric/Xavier/Insert Thing Here funny. You…

Oh, and where all of George Strait's exes live, natch.

My understanding of Texas' awesome geography is that there are pockets of awesome in Dallas, most of Houston is awesome, pockets of Lubbock (Flatlanders represent!), most of Austin (except for the parts populated by people from elsewhere who were too douchey for Athens, GA but not douchey enough for Williamsburg), and…

H. Jon Benjamin is the greatest comedy yeller of all time, no question. Bob Odenkirk is a strong second.

I love that most of the people hating on Demetri have the least witty usernames in internet history. Martin Luther Larry King OH EL-OH-EL HOW HILARIOUS! Did you have a team of writers working round the clock on that one?

And "Village Of the Giants". Man Beau Bridges was great in that.

Lobsters, you wouldn't like it, Film Comment talked it up a few months back, and they're known liberals. Or should I say LIE-berals? No, I shouldn't, that would be stupid.

Is that on DVD or do you have a bootleg copy? Don't worry, I'm not a narc, I just want to know where to look for it.

I am from Nebraska and currently live in Nevada, so perhaps this will have more weight coming from me: There is absolutely nothing wrong with Texas as a whole. Are there a lot of ignorant cocksuckers in Texas? Sure. Do a lot of Texans behave as if they are God's chosen people by virtue of having been born in Texas.…

Let's all bitch to Netflix to get them to up the cap. Also, to let us have 10 DVDs out at a time.

Yes yes, but how do the respective genders dial phones? This is the paramount question to answer!

Yeah, the best thing about Best Show and a lot of Scharpling & Wurster bits is how they progress from "oh ok, this is kind of funny" into "holy shit I am so glad I listened to 30 minutes of this" because the payoff is usually pretty choice at the end. The best example of this I can give (I'm limited on my Best Show…

Tom, you'll never believe what they do at that Quiznos! They toast them rolls!

Yeah, I was going to offer to hire writers for you if it will speed things up.

There's this weird sub-group of UK natives who are neo-con jackasses for some reason. I'm guessing they miss the days when the UK was an empire and since we're the closest thing to one going these days, they back us by default.
