The Browns will be demoted to the CFL mid-game, giving Miami a chance for two rouges.

Just because they end up together in their last scene doesn't necessarily mean it's a happily-ever-after moment. Steve's had a month to show her some better qualities, but even if he hasn't changed much, I don't think it has to be a ringing endorsement of their kinda troubling dynamic. This is her first boyfriend, and

Right after they break Jonathan's camera, Steve and co. say "the game's about to start," and clearly they're going as spectators, not players. So if they're on a team, it ain't football.

It may also be another subtle reference to Stephen King's It, where the group of kids immediately start to forget details of the adventure they've just had. Part coping mechanism, part spiritual cleansing woo-woo.

When Jake opened the storage locker, I was convinced there would be nothing but a TV and video player just for watching Die Hard in private.

As much as I love the original, the series really took off with Lemmings 2: The Tribes. The sheer number of roles/jobs for the lemmings exploded, the individualized Lemming design was inspired, the tribe-specific deaths were hilarious, and getting pieces of that splintered map hit my pleasure centre in a big way.

I don’t know if that really suggests McGregor either, but the character as written isn’t

Just pronounce it "BAY-nal." Much more amusing.

Dogs and cats, playing football! Mass hysteria!

So you're who that penalty is for!

To be fair, baseball players are doing their thing 160 times a season, as opposed to 17 or 18, so there's less incentive to celebrate wildly.

"How the hell was I supposed to know he was a hostage?"

Was Death Comes to Town as bad as I remember? The only funny things that come to mind are Mark's reporter and Bruce's obese invalid who has to heroically go outside.

Dave's head-nodding delivery of "A… beer" is my favourite moment in that sketch.

That inspired my AVC/Disqus status. 8 years running and haven't found one better.

You fucker.

Wow, nice to see Chris Nuttall-Smith writing for the AVC. I love his Globe & Mail reviews, even if I never get to 90% of the restaurants.
