I don’t think Ferris was rich. They lived in a big house but in suburban america that doesn’t necessary equate to huge money. 

It really is remarkable how many people here, ostensibly hired because of their decision to pursue a career as writers, are actually really bad at writing. McCarter isn’t clever, he has no discernible writing style, and its like he’s not even sure what it is he’s trying to say. He’s shit-posting, but its just a big…

“You weep for this site”. Good lord, if you’re really interested in a classic message board flame war at least show up.

I was never upset about anything. I wasn’t even one of the people specifically arguing about the meaning of advertise on the original thread, though I did debate the general spirit of the issue being discussed.

You’re a retard. Advertise as making one aware of something, outside of a commercial context, is a common use of the word. I’ll assume you’re a kid which is why you’re sticking to such a weird and BS position. 

“own the libs”

Actually, advertising has at least four different definitions, as per my post above. Letting people know about something is advertising it, even if its not intended in the commercial sense. It’s a weird position for you to even take, since the people using the word advertising obviously weren’t suggesting Hughes was…

I see we’re playing college sophomore buzzword bingo. I just need you to say “white feminism” or “military industrial complex” and I win. BTW I’m just making fun of your immaturity, not sure how gender plays into anything. 

There was like a hundred of us saying the same thing. Not sure why you think it was “one guy”. Also, it’s adorable a kid like you who can’t even figure out how to online date without eating your own liver thinks they’re qualified to “teach” anyone about anything. 

Advertise

What reporting? Another AVClub newswire hack just ranted about something reported somewhere else. Spacey is a gross man but the AVClub thrives off shit like this. Remember Hughes advertising Louis CK’s special while sanctimoniously whining about he fact he won’t go away? 

The reality is that he’s a magnificent actor and I’ll continue to appreciate his work. I don’t believe that when someone is horrible I have to self-censor myself from everything they did. Some people will find him so icky they can’t even stand to see him on screen again. Others will be able to partition his…

Do you know why he hates Bobcat so much? If you don’t and you find out you might not think so harshly of his reaction. Basically Bobcat went on Arsenio around the time the first or second season of Seinfeld was airing, and completely ripped on him calling him a weirdo and a creep and was transparently seething in…

I’ve always considered Seinfeld a comedic genius for his ability to be funny without being crude or resorting to shock humor. I consider someone like Anthony Jeselnik to be pretty clever in his joke construction and delivery, but what Seinfeld does is 100x harder because he doesn’t have the shock value to fall back…

Always Sunny and 30 Rock both also had a Seinfeldian trajectory of starting off sort of grounded in a real universe and then morphing into some outlandish parallel universe, where bizarre behavior isn’t accepted but not necessarily seen as certifiably insane the way it would be in the early world of the series.

Oh brother. “Seinfeld was a big meanie to that lady with the frivilous lawsuit”. I’m guessing you had a role in setting up your campus’ safe space?

“Hi didn’t recognize her and didn’t like getting hugs from random strangers. How is this in any way a bad thing?”

Yeah but the woman suing his wife was a crank, probably looking for publicity, and she lost the case - badly. I don’t begrudge him taking a stab at her.

Lorne Michaels was the producer - he definitely let them try anything.

I will watch this. I’m excited. But that clip was clunky and not very funny.
