I like how Segel says, “I would separate them, but not in the way you mean.” He turns a question about whether we need to like the artist into whether art should be explained. Obviously, it’s been on his mind.

Oh great call on Magnolia Electric Company.  A lot of Molina’s lyrics are very haunting in hindsight.  Tragic.  The entirety of “Farewell Transmission” is heartbreaking when viewed through that lens.

“I’ve crippled your heart a hundred times and still can’t work out why.

Hammer Down by Magnolia Electric Company:

But is the new Muppets show going to be a new The Muppets Show? I don’t know how they missed that lesson when (most) everyone loved Jason Segal’s Muppet movie, but I still hope...

It’s kind of cheating because it really isn’t a “line” but the last part of Black by Pearl Jam is just gutting:

Most memorable demise would have to still be Boromir, right? Game of Thrones was pretty good, but the image of him with three arrows stickin’ out of his torso is one that will likely never fade from my memory.

Ah yes, the ethereal ‘do something else’, in an economy with 10% unemployment. With student loans to pay, and while she’s working in exactly the field she studied for.

Teachers’ Lounge alone is worth $5/month to me.

Sometimes I think about what Assassin’s Creed could’ve been if it had never had the stupid metaplot to begin with. And then I get sad for what we got instead.

“Do something with that, you freak” is just too perfect a setup.

It’s not a particularly clever joke, but it’s so beautiful how Conan lobs it over to Norm to bring it home.

I have a soft-spot for it. There’s a lot about it that maybe only sort of worked...but not quite? Even so, I really liked its style.

I have thoughts on that! “According to our studies, if the people of the world masturbate just eight percent more, civilization will collapse.” I watched it because it was Home Movies-adjacent and was suitably crestfallen when it ended.

I saw the Burning Man episode.  I didn’t think it was great, but I still get a chuckle out of “Get behind me, Satan!”  “I’m sorry, I just have a problem with that phrase.”

I thought about commenting on that and a few others, but if they did single season Adult Swim shows, there’d be like forty additional entries

A chef, a trained professional, should know better than someone with no training.

Order well done steak at fancy restaurant against advice of entire service staff. Steak is terrible. Leave bad Yelp review.

I honestly think this has an Arrested-Development level of joke density and cross referencing. I especially admired the bit about the combination to the city (“8"), and the capper: “We already changed it seven times, we can change it again.”
