Something's going to cut you down all right, but it sure isn't God.

Shut up, Jervis.

Well, at least you're right about one thing. This will not end well.

You close those legs right now or your bolt's going to be the one getting shot.

You and Jay See apparently have a lot in common. And now you have one more!

I hear it's futile. Like all your other guesses!

You need to take responsibility for your own mistakes. Also some painkillers.

Oh, I miss Dick Sprang.

For God's sake people, work a little harder than that. And since when do I tell Batman the answer to anything?

Now I'm not one to complain about shamelessly stealing, that being my hobby and all, but I am definitely one to complain about wrong answers. Like this one!

Thank you, that was infuriating. It might have been better if his attempt at a riddle was anything more than half-assed symbolism, but apparently there's no part of this show that isn't committed to bone-deep stupidity.

As in, what you're going to be in ten seconds from now? Wrong!

Cute! But also wrong!

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

I approve of this choice. It's terribly difficult to find actors capable of conveying both my intellect and joie de vivre onscreen, and Weird Al would do so nicely, assuming he could keep his hyperactive side in check. I would also accept David Tennant.

I hear I'm tough to write for, but that's no excuse.

Now there's a Faustian bargain.

Oh, I mean in general. The joke answers and one-upmanship seem to outnumber the actual replies of late. I imagine it's because, unlike the old B:TAS reviews, most people commenting here are in a bad mood from watching a show they don't like.

Correct! Honestly, I was really starting to worry there. Fewer and fewer people seem to want to actually play the game.

It's times like this that I'm reminded of children playing with action figures, where on has a force field, but nu uh, the other has a force field-proof laser gun, and so on and so forth. Tiresome.
