He sounded sort of close to Gourley's H.R. Giger, but at first I thought it was Besser's Pope Benedict returning, it was VERY similar to that at first, but became its own monster soon after. Gotta love Klaus and Middleditch.

I feel like Dio started really becoming "cool" again around 10 years ago. A lot of rock and metal fans I know didn't really get into him until they heard him live or saw him with Heaven & Hell reunited. Once he embraced the irony with his involvement with Tenacious D, a lot of people realized the guy was humble and…
I laughed my whole butt off during that episode.
Not related to this week's episode at all, but worth sharing: I finally "get" this show and am completely on board now.
Jesus good god almighty this just made me laugh really hard.
Klaus calling China would have been incredible. I don't know if it would have been the same without Kumail and Martin stifling giggles in the background though.
I don't remember Hammerstone's first appearance at all. That may have come before I was a huge fan of Wengert characters and I may have skipped it. Which episode was that?
Yes! He was The Hipster in the "Sunday Funday" episode of You're The Worst, and he was excellent.
"Anyway…" Classic Rickster catchphrase.
12 minutes being one of his least favorite increments of time killed me. "That's a real NBA quarter!"
I think only Paul Johannson (director/actor) was really behind Rand's ideas, not necessarily all of the actors. Coincidentally, both Fischler and Johannson got to play jerks on Mad Men at some point (Johannson is Ferg Donnelly in the current season). Taylor Schilling (of OITNB fame )starred in Atlas Shrugged Part 1…
I always liked him as Piven's sidekick in Old School. Piven is such a dick to him. "This is me leaving! This is me leaving."
You kind of nailed it there. Kurt was like that cool kid who pretended he was one of the artsy kids, who finally had enough clout to make fun of the cool jocks, but they were really both two sides of the same coin.
They're already "over" with the smarks, but people still want to boo them. They are entertaining heels who we want to see get their asses kicked, not unlike Edge and Christian in 2000 with their five-second poses, etc.
I rolled my eyes when I read that Orton had beaten Christian 2 days after Christian won the World Championship. Little did I know that that feud would be one of the highlights of a pretty amazing year for WWE, a year which started off so shitty with the 2011 Rumble and Mania XXVII. Off the top of my head, in 2011 we…
Yeah, the match with Rollins at Mania was really good. When Orton gets a good reaction from the crowd, he tends to work harder. The way he reacted to that RKO out of the Curb Stomp at Mania is maybe my favorite in-ring Orton moment EVER.
Cena staying out of the main event and WWE title picture is all I've really wanted for years. I never hated him or the character all that much, I hated how he was forced down our throats so much. Now that he's not, I can enjoy him even more.
I really think they know that Ambrose is going to be over no matter what, so there's no reason to rush him to get to that top position. With Reigns, it was clear Vince had that physique boner for the guy, and wanted him to be Cena 2.0. Ambrose was so over last summer and fall that he really could have and probably…
I'm with you on Kane. A lot of people complain that Kane and Big Show are still main event-esque in 2015. With Show, I get the complaint. With Kane, I love the Corporate character and how he's the tweener of The Authority in a lot of ways. If he's in the ring with someone half decent, it's usually not a bad match…
That GIF of Ryback miming typing on the keyboard as he and Axel walked down to the ring is one of my favorite wrestling GIFs of all time. I love when he hits his head and says "Stupid!" He's not great in the ring but he is like the Hercules of 2015, where I'm still a fan of the guy because of his innate charisma, even…
