I’m amazed at just how influential Greg Kinnear’s Talk Soup persona was. It's become the baseline for 90% of all video hosts. And if you have no idea what I'm taking about, YouTube it. He practically invented Internet snark before anyone was using the Internet.

I am bettng that you, sir, are an avid fan of John Oliver...

Brazil nuts are the shlock of the nut world, used as filler to rob consumers. Have you ever seen Brazil nuts sold on their own in a store? Of course not.

Proof that someone other than Jason Segal was paying attention to what made the Muppets special. Based on how bad Muppets Most Wanted was, clearly Stoller does not.

It must be cool to have such expertise on a topic. I don’t know (or necessarily care) a whole lot about the finer distinctions in storm trooper armor over the years, but this was a fun read nonetheless because your knowledge and passion is so apparent.

So you will now assume every movie with good early buzz will disappoint? Though way to go through life, son.

Hmmm. A seventh place tie between one of the country’s most important historical cities and a city where every Saturday night hundreds of thousands of smelly mammals come out from under a bridge, swarm around the city and crap wherever they want.

Do we know why Korean teams have their names written in English on their jerseys?

Another step closer to parity with male athletes.

“Average” is a generally shitty stat. In this case, even more so, given that the low end of the range is far closer to average than the high end of the range.

So are WLIW, WNYE, WPXN, WZME, WEDW, WLNY, WRNN, and a gaggle of Spanish language channels. It’s called UHF and it’s a glorious wasteland of guys who mispronounce exotic surnames.

You’ve spent many words arguing a point that nobody disagrees with, discrediting a point of view that nobody had.

I would pay good, good money to watch this with Scott VanPelt and Tim Kurkjian.

None of those kids will ever be as good as me at not being good at soccer.

It certainly helps when you are essentially shooting undefended. Can you imagine the pain if a player in the men’s tournament tried to shoot like that from anywhere within half-court?

I don’t understand this, but I trust those that are smarter than me and believe it to be true. Does that make this religion?

It appears that Jezebel’s editing budget is the first casualty of the Hulkster verdict, although truthfully, saying in 5000 words what can be said in 500 has always been the Gawker way.

I think I understand. It’s like when a kid listens to Jimi Hendrix for the first time, they may wonder what the big deal is — they’ve heard similar stuff from a thousand others. They don’t understand that Jimi was first and everyone else is just copying him.
