I saw him live last year. He was trying out new material in preparation for this special, and every time a joke didn’t perform he conspicuously made a note of it which was pretty funny.

I biked to work for the first time this morning, so this was useful to see first thing :)

It seems like the powers that be tend to over-estimate how racist audiences are. I remember reading about the history of Blade, and how at every turn the producers expected it to fail, but audiences kept watching and enjoying it.

I don’t know about international audiences, but she’s definitely more famous among the people I know than either of the other two. 

I read this on CBC the other day, and while the McDonald’s workers clearly screwed up, this person sounds like a bit of a nightmare customer.

That makes a lot of sense if you’re using ketchup or other wet condiments - it can soak through a slice of bread, but probably not through the crust. 

They’re not ‘articles,’ they’re individual episode reviews. Whether it’s necessary to review every episode of a Netflix show may be up for debate, but it’s how AVC has done it for a while now.

Is his dad played by Chris Hemsworth?

Heh, I probably should have just deleted it when I realized embedding wasn’t going to work. 

...

Yeah, it seems like Sam hasn’t seen Ragnarok at all, which is bonkers.

Yeah, I should have said “at least as prominent”. I wouldn’t have been surprised at that comment after Thor 2, but Ragnarok really put him back in the spotlight.
