So what was that other (presumably fake) human rights lawyer going to say when he burst in and said he had found an obscure clause that would let them all stay? Or was it part of the plan that nobody would care?

Well, we now know that Tahani's charity work doesn't actually count for anything because she had the wrong motivation. The rules as Michael originally presented them didn't take motivation into account, or am I remembering wrong?

I think that when they have stockpiles of old clues that have been left unturned, they recycle them into categories that are basically "Miscellaneous". It used to be called Potpourri but this was just a way to fit in with the Millennial Internet theme of the round.

But it shouldn't matter if it is set later than Julius Caesar because Julius Caesar is also not a history play. So, in point of fact, A&C is set earlier than any history play. I will admit that I stupidly mentally inserted a word in the clue and read it as "earlier than any *other* history play", but if you take out

Yes, brutally unfair question. It also wasn't written in 1609.

My wife and I watched all three seasons of You're The Worst this past month, and this season really suffers in comparison with the first two. Both Jimmy and Gretchen's storylines were thin and contrived. However, the show can probably coast on that PTSD episode in order to make this list.

Do the 2017 Oscars take place in 2018 and honor the movies that came out in 2017, or do they take place in 2017 and honor the movies that came out in 2016?

Yeah, everyone was shedding a tear for the poor, misportrayed LBJ that year and nobody cared that Imitation Game completely shit all over the admiral who fucking ran Bletchley Park, all but calling him a moron who didn't understand how codebreaking was different from translating German.

And the thimbles that got knocked over.

I believe the verb is perder, "to lose", which adds an extra layer, because he is about to find out he lost the election.

I have fond memories of the WU in 2005 when Scott Podsednik came on the show and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kept trying to one-up each other trying to prove their South Side cred. It culminated with Tina yelling "I once flew out of MIDWAY!"

Bummer that the Pagliacci link isn't to Seinfeld.

This calls to mind the Coolio-Weird Al "feud", only that time we got a legitimately funny song and video and not just a stupid lazy lip sync.

Yes but my point was her Sox fandom wouldn't particularly bother a Brooklyn kid.

Nitpick of the episode: in the last sketch of the night, "Brooklyn" tells the sarge to say goodbye to his girl "even though she's a Sox fan." A Brooklynite in the '40s would be a Dodgers fan and wouldn't have any opinion of either Sox team. "Even though she's a Giants fan" would have been more appropriate.

What's ironic is that Kellyanne has a suburban Philly accent IRL so that's three of those butchered last night.

But who is going to play Cousin Harris?

That article is a lot of incoherent nonsense.

Now I know who the guy with the round face and the glasses from The Lighter Side of… was modeled off of. RIP.

But even if you know nothing about baseball, you know that Babe Ruth was a big fat guy, right? The person in the picture wasn't a big fat guy.
