    Both the CBG's and the xylophone nerd's lines are barely even exaggerations of how people used to act in regards to the show. "How could they make that joke about Moe having an office in the ladies' restroom when we've seen women at the bar before???"

    Beyond the obvious nerd humor, I always find the idea of an Itchy & Scratchy game being some medieval fantasy adventure hilarious - surely a potshot at the countless Simpsons games that have nothing to do with the show (Krusty's Fun House?). There's so many different layers to the meta-humor in this episode, which

    Well - it was entered into the competition and accepted for a slot. That's noteworthy in itself and speaks for the baffling respect this film series had once, but it's not like thousands of haughty European cinephiles saw it, adjusted their monocles and wrote it down on a ballot. You don't get "nominated" for the Palm

    The Cartridge Family.

    At times like this, I guess all you can do is laugh.

    The good thing about rewatching after a long time of just reading references is the high amount of amazing jokes that are never quoted.

    I wanted to make this joke five years ago when it was originally posted but forgot. But it looks like fate has brought us back together.

    They're gonna learn all about the birds and… THE BEES! DEAR GOD, THE BEES!

    It won't happen considering the fallout between Chuck Lorre and her, but Cybill Sheperd would be fun for various reasons.

    She won too many Emmys, but "Marie's Sculpture" is still one of the funnier sitcom episodes in recent memory. "Oh my God, I'm a lesbian." RIP.

    Innaritu wining Director in light of The Revenant losing Best Picture is very annoying. I was expecting it to win both as it usually happens but considering a split actually happened it's sad Miller couldn't profit from it. Oh well, at least he has an Oscar. (Richard Linklater should be pissed.) It's still amazing

    Doesn't quite fit, but the build up to (USA Network presents…) and the appearance of the title in each episode was one of my favorite parts of Mr. Robot. Brilliant use of opening credits to create tension, ans some of the shots accompanying the title were stunning (favorite: the ballet class shot and the "special"

    Fox and the Hound 1+2 were shown back to back recently and yeah, talk about a sequel that's completely tonedeaf to the charm of the original. I only made it fifteen minuted in, but as soon as Copper had a sitcommy line about his stinky breath I knew it was hopeless.

    Yes, I totally agree this does a great job of pairing up Homer and Marge. This episode still feels really inspired and fresh just for focusing on the attraction and positive dynamic between Homer and Marge, something that's sadly rarely seen. This is probably the best episode made under Scully's run.

    Didn't Christopher Hampton write Atonement?

    Oh, I was actually wondering if they'd do that - considering the credit's been there for contractual reasons for the past 23 years (Simon hadn't been involved with the show in any way since 1992), they might've just kept it as some sort of legacy credit.

    I always loved how the Hal/Lois dynamic wasn't far removed from the standard sitcom nagging wife/pathetic husband pairing, yet it felt so different because they were portrayed as obviously, passionately in love with each other and whenever they fought it was obviously hard for both of them.

    Dewey turning out to be just as intelligent as Malcolm was such a great and surprising character arc. Malcolm's cynicism and scientific mind clashing with Dewey's empathy and interest in artistry yielded some really fine character writing.

    This was a good show all the way through, but it had an amazing pilot and first season it never really managed to live up to. It suffered from several poor decisions throughout its run in my opinion (taking the focus far away from the premise, splitting every single episode up in four or five different subplots, not
