Over Joe Rogan? Hell yeah

Not actually a Fred Willard role, but if any long-term AVC commenters remember Burl, who’d tend to show up and jovially recall old b-movies, I *always* read his comments with Fred Willard’s voice delivering them in my head. Never failed to make me smile.

When Tony Scott died, I named my trivia team “The Tony Scott Memorial Homoerotic Beach Volleyball Tournament” that night. Not one laugh from the crowd.

Yeah, but he was talking about the various “planes” of existence inhabited by Xenu...

Top Gun is one of the most homoerotic spectacles ever to come out of Hollywood. Cruise has absolutely zero sexual chemistry with his ostensible love interest...

It’s one of my favorite movies, but I’ve already written a column about Aliens

He’s mopped the floor with arrogant aviators 52 times, in simulation.

Bingo. The 10 yr old episode had a parody of the meme, not a celebration of it.. Now it is a celebration of the parody. Satire is hard.

The Office, unable to escape this cultural vortex, recreated it for Pam and Jim’s wedding, too. It was and is horribly unfunny. In our review from ‘09, Nathan Rabin referred to the dance as “an already embarrassingly-dated YouTube meme.”

The scene in “Niagara” is supposed to be dumb and embarrassing and cheesy. That’s justification for exactly why Jim and Pam escape to get married in private on the boat before the public ceremony. Jesus, Jim even explains it in the episode...

“I bought those boat tickets the day I saw that YouTube video. I knew we’d…

Like when Ron met the other Ron on Parks and Rec?

Just wanted to say I love this series of articles and Caroline Siede’s series, When Romance Met Comedy.

That’s what you get for not Hailing to the Chimp!
