It's not as over-the-top raunchy as Scary Movie and focuses more on making fun of horror and parody movie conventions. There's a character a bit like a female Abed who points out things to look out for in a spoof (like Randy does with horror films in Scream).

She'll reprise her role for Scary Movie 43, though.

Scary Movie 3 is the one with the "Don't worry about that vase" joke, right? That's a great one.

Does anyone remember Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth? It came around at the same time as Scary Movie 1*, is much less famous but actually pretty funny in places.

The grandmother and the aunt just left without explanation too. Working on a Miller-Boyett sitcom back then must have been nerve-wracking. You'd have had to fear the producers coming to you any day and say: "You need to get more woos from the audience, kid… we have ways of making you disappear".

In TV it usually refers to a writer who isn't part of the room but comes in every so often to throw in some jokes or contribute script ideas. Is your uncle a writer?

The comments are back! The black hole is still there, but the comments are back.

I'm sorry to hijack the thread in which people discuss Creed from The Office listening to Creed from God-rock, but in the space at the top of the page where it links to my user page, a black hole of nothingness is staring at me. When I click on it still takes me to my user page, but it says I have 0 comments, which is…

Oh, how did I miss this? Actual discussion of the golden age? You have to tell me when stuff like this happens!

I was pretty shocked when Bart put a Kick Me sign on a teacher!!

I never realized before, but some Itchy & Scratchy cartoons send the message that violence against animals is funny.

Pretty sure it's Castallaneta.

The attempt at emotion here is too half-hearted to really work, but in typical season 5 fashion both the quantity and the quality of the jokes are immense. "He says… D'oh."

In German it's a real Donald Trump.

At no point in the series does Homer look funnier than in season 5. The brief moment when he stares blankly after being told he's an industrial chimney sweeper is possibly more hilarious than entire later seasons.

It was a meaningless, not-to-be-celebrated milestone.

I don't know if it's cool now, but it surely wasn't in its original incarnation. Stiff animation, uninteresting characters, formulaic stories… in other words, a Hanna-Barbera production.

What a beautiful quote from him from his obituary at the Chicago Sun Times:

The Backstreet Boys had two older members too. I guess back then they thought it was important to have some sort of "big brother" figures in the band along with the cute young ones.

Well… yeah?
