I've taken to calling this Fight Club Syndrome: people who enjoy satire by accidentally taking it seriously.

This is sorta the reverse, but it's worth mentioning. One of my favorite examples of the changing world of polite society can be seen in how a single line from the television version of "Blazing Saddles" was censored over the years.

Don't forget M*A*S*H* (the film version)

One of my former jobs was working in doggie boarding and day care. One of our frequent "guests" was an adorable little King Charles named Milo, last name "Beck." Every time he went from the day camp room to his boarding suite, I'd yell "Put! Zee Milo! Beck!"

Or a movie starring Dick Shawn as a P.O.W. who spends most of his time in solitary confinement. They could've called it "Dick in a Box."

Yeah, I don't remember if they cut much (or anything) of Carmen's screen time, but without the additional Bacall scenes, the two sisters share a similar amount of screen time. Whereas in the theatrical version, Bacall is the clear female lead.

In the book, when Marlowe finds Carmen at Geiger's house (and when Carmen breaks into Marlowe's apartment and waits for him), she's naked; in both scenes in the movie, she's fully clothed. I don't know why I hate that change so much.

I have mixed feelings about Twin Peaks, but Fenn was absolutely electric in every scene. She reminded me of the younger sister in "The Big Sleep," and her recollections of the show make it sound like she got a similarly raw deal due to studio politics.

Dick Shawn at 0:30 is possibly the best moment of this entire movie:

I worked at the Field Museum when the original series aired, and while you're right that the series' tacit assertion of fact was scoffed at, most of the staff who saw it were of the "well that's neat, whatever gets people interested" mindset. Basically its existence did more good than bad, especially compared to…

Kinda sad that Bobbie Barrett didn't come up in this discussion. For all the talk about Don's struggles to become something more than he is, he's still haunted by the ghost of Bobbie because she represents who he already is. The difference is she's comfortable with it and Don's not. She's the thing Don would find if…

Give Eazy E's "Merry Muthafuckin' Christmas" a shot.

I would love for there to be some kind of computer glitch that wipes out my student loan debt.

I can't believe no one's said this yet, so here goes…

"San Francisco International" is as close to perfect riffing as they've ever done. Too bad the movie was broken up by three consecutive sketches about Urkel, or it could've hands-down been my favorite Mike episode.

Office temps cut loose!

I think we hit a moose!

Shit, I just remembered that "The Day The Earth Froze" also leads off with "Here Comes the Circus," a top-five short in its own right.

"Maybe they’re okay guys, but they committed a real heresy as far as
music goes. I wonder if they know that, and I wonder if they can sleep
at night."

"I think I broke my neck on that jump cut." Can't tell you how many times I've said that while watching a Zack Snyder film.
