You feel like laughing, don't you? Don't try to stop yourself. Go ahead, laugh out loud. Don't you see? Nothing could have made MTM happier. She lived to make people laugh. She found tears offensive, deeply offensive. She hated to see people cry. Go ahead, my dears—laugh.

By that standard, the Bookworm sketch was the most offensive of the night.

Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" = female version of "friendzone"

Looks like we have a Leonard Pierce situation on our hands.

That lifeguard story didn't work because it only made sense as a metaphor, not as a literal thing. Lifeguards are taught to not blindly jump in after a drowning person, sure. They need to scope out the situation and make sure they have the proper approach. But who the hell teaches lifeguards to just not even try to…

For someone who screwed up in the past by refusing to live up to his obligations … abandoning an obligation, and in the process destroying the career and life of someone who trusted him, is an odd way to go about "atonement" and "breaking the cycle."

So … Peter Cushing??

I know this isn't going to win me any friends, but the logician in me can't help but point out that "The evidence that you have presented that I am racist is unconvincing next to the evidence from my life telling me that I am not" is a different conversation from "I am not capable of being racist because I have…

I apologize for misreading you.

It would have been nice to throw in a line about why she didn't want to use condoms. Even something as simple as not liking how it feels (that's not a good reason in general, but it's a plausible rationale for a teenage girl).

TJ Miller is three years younger than Tyler Labine, and had his first screen credit 16 years (!) after Labine's. When Miller made his breakthrough in Cloverfield, Reaper was already in its second season.

If you had seen her on Bones, your suspicion would have been off the charts.

What would that make the Catillac Cats?

Both this and Erik Adams' review seem to believe that the daughter is a studious overachiever with "book smarts." Did I miss something establishing that? Yes, she got into Yale, although with rich parents that's not necessarily an indication of anything other than having rich parents. But she seems to be okay with…

You can't see it in the screenshot, but that scene takes place on a staircase. I mean, you can see some of the stairs on the left side of the image. But the biggest clue is if you compare where their waists are. Now imagine how long Sofia's legs would have to be if her feet were at the same level as Kaitlin's.

It's a grey area with regard to awards shows, particularly the Emmys. The past twenty years have seen a number of hour-long shows (going back to Ally McBeal and Monk) get classified as comedies. Those shows seem to have an edge in winning awards, since voters tend to be biased toward serious acting over acting whose…

None of those movies were released in those years. (Though Casablanca did at least have Oscar eligibility in 1943, so s/he was closer on that one.)

I feel like some of us are forgetting his earlier "You'll be in middle management FOREVER" speech to William, which was a bit of nastiness unmitigated by being part of a game.

There is a third Nolan brother. He is in jail after masterminding a kidnap-for-ransom that turned into a murder.

And here I thought I was the only one!
