This site in its current incarnation is really in no place to criticize anyone else for “hacky jokes”. Most of you guys still haven’t even figured out how to use sarcasm yet!

Quiet, no one bothered to tell him they were leaving.

I’ve no problem with pop culture sites milking as many clicks and views and dollars from the fact that one of the world’s most successful movie stars just slapped the shit out of a prominent and well-known stand-up comic in front of an audience of millions. This sort of thing is their bread and butter. I’d just prefer…

It’s your turn, Sam Barsanti. Every time.

Something tells me Sam Barsanti was always considered ‘the clever one’ amongst a small group of very stupid friends.

Hands up if you think Rock knew she was sporting the clean look due to a medical condition.

So, don’t give him a headline, Exhibit A in how much the AV Club has gone downhill. Seriously, what are you good at that caused you to get a job writing?

Imagine what he would have done for a wife who DIDN’T cheat on him.

I mean-- seriously Edith Head was a lesbian and won EIGHT AWARDS!!!!  Stop erasing gayness for a fucking headline.

Nope. I’m sure she wasn’t the first but Jodie Foster won two awards. It’s a weird smug self-fart-sniffing thing that news media does— it thinks because a person hasn’t sat down with them and make some big pronouncement that they aren’t open and out. Jodie Foster has never been IN.
