Yeah. I’m no psychologist, but it seems like they took care to make his weird brand of thoughtful psychopathy consistent. It’s just a lot of fun.

I’m gonna miss you most of all, Dowd.

I didn’t watch this or even SaTC but I just wanted to come in and say I’ve enjoyed your work over the years, Gwen, here and the Takeout and how you would always happily hop into comments with us. What’s happened to this formerly great site and its writers is vile.

I’d rather walk through a snowstorm than call and speak to someone on the phone

Yeah but if you’ve already walked all that way, you’re pretty much committed to being totally sure. Maybe you’re just the first customer!

Hope you and other AVC writers form a Defector-style collective, Dowd. Keep us posted on your next steps

Co-sign. That’s some pro-grade writing right there.  The type that hooked me on AVC years ago and keeps me coming back.

J/O media didn’t deserve you, Dowd.  Looking forward to finding out where you go next.

His performance as Christine Baskets is one of my favorite performances by any actor in any media.

“Outstanding Performance on Effort” is a fine piece of understated comedy. 

Louie Anderson will always have a warm place in my heart because Life with Louie was a Fox Kids regular here in Poland as “Świat według Ludwiczka” (“The World According to Louie”). Fantastic dub, a lot of great jokes and very relatable situations made it a cult classic among my generation and anyone born in the early…

Some writer clearly read “суши” and thought, “ah, that’s “cywu” with a weird font instead of realizing that “суши” is the word “sushi” phoenetically written in Cyrillic.

You know what Cena has going for him that Dwayne Rock Johsnon doesn’t? He’s comfortable looking ridiculous and being the butt of the joke. Dwayne has that 80's Action Star ego hang-up where his character in any given movie now has to be the toughest guy, but also the smartest, but also the most charming but also a…

I wasn’t completely sure about this, but if Robert Patrick is in, so am I.

Tipping wait staff generously should be universal

... and if you’re in a line of 36 pay-it-forwards, nobody except the last guy is getting anything for free. You’re just paying for a different order than your own. That’s not charity. But then I don’t understand the whole Starbucks culture. Sure, I’ll drink their mocha once in awhile, but no over-roasted, overpriced an…

Former Bux partner here: I killed Pay-it-Forward chains whenever they’d happen. The reason being is because, like most drive-thru businesses, we had a “bump screen” or a screen to keep the orders organized. When a Pay-it-Forward chain would happen, that would be the god-send to keep the orders in order. HOWEVER, the…

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

I’m still waiting on Archer & the gang showing up on Bob’s Burgers. Only fair since Archer drafted the Belcher family at the start of an Archer episode.
