One can understand that the discomfort is her point, and still find her repulsive. Tacking this bit onto the end of an underwhelming, cutting-room-floor season finale, is kind of appropriate (though surely unintentional, since we know Amy wants to promote her friend's work).

Well, that's why I put the word "gross" in there, and also why I compared her to two particularly lame comedians with a history of being disgusting but unfunny (rather than, say, any number of *good* provocateurs).

At least she knows they won't want to grab her in return.

She's like a female Tom Green, or Andy Dick. She finds whatever gross thing other people haven't done or said yet, and goes with it. How bold and hilarious! (Amy sometimes does this too, obviously, but she's also shown a wide range.)

The other interesting thing is that he has Quagmire's face.

First we had Amy's peculiar southern accent in the Honey Boo Boo parody a few weeks ago, and now the curly grey wig in the "40 years later" scene… I don't know if it's intentional, but they both uncannily evoke Vicki Lawrence's "Mama".

I don't fancy myself a "lone voice of reason" or somesuch - I'm sorry if you thought that - I just bristle when people act as though big companies *always* destroy everything and leave the people no choice. Fast food is not like Walmart's prices running Main Street out of business. Nobody ever *has* to eat at…

Yes, but "somewhat more healthy than McD" leaves a lot of room, including things that are not necessarily more expensive. A family-size meal of fast food is not all that cheap.

Oh I definitely agree that people are astoundingly ignorant. But the "blame the corporations for everything" attitude is bullshit. McDonald's (et al) are not force-feeding American consumers, nor are they forcing other countries to eat their crap. It sucks to see the arches cheesily ruin some old-world cityscape;…

I can think of one wild & crazy decision by democratic process that would seriously hurt their profits: Stop eating that fucking fast food. Did I miss a memo? Are people in 2015 really not aware that it's garbage? Are people in urban areas, or anywhere else, forced to eat there? Don't they know we can all eat…

They have to aim their advertising at their target customers. You know damn well that if all their campaigns were generic, with the least divisive music & style, and inclusive of various ethnic groups like a college brochure, people would ridicule that too.

I agree with you J.P. So far, people who don't agree have described the NPR complainers as "assholes" and "stupid crybabies", when in fact the listeners who support NPR & PBS are doing so precisely to preserve institutions with class and intelligence, the very opposite of reality-TV garbage like Kardashians. …

I'm not always in the mood for classical music, but sometimes I think it's the only thing on (regular AM/FM) radio that's remotely listenable. At least I can relax to most of it, since nobody is wailing or shouting stupid shitty lyrics.

The Weather Channel is absolute garbage — I am honestly shocked that it outranked ESPN in this survey (say what you will about the latter's value). Nothing but stupid sensationalism, and very little actual relevant weather reporting. My last missive from Fios informed me that they've dropped The Weather Channel…

Joke's on you! The Pythons went to British boarding schools.

… Mapquest?

Whoa whoa whoa — what's with the word "was", Cookie Monster?

You know nothing.

Boy, that Meryn Fuckin' Trant, what a charmer! Not only a pedophile, but a sadist who whips the underage girls to find out which ones can handle a session of further pain. Arya probably didn't even know he was *that* despicable.

Oh my gosh, you don't think the Season 4 finale was strong? Jon & Mance? Stannis' army? Bran reaching the Raven? Tyrion killing Shae and Tywin? Brienne & the fucking Hound? And the magnificent ending with Arya sailing away?
