Now someone needs to jump in and save AV Club’s former parent, The Onion.

aside from the filmmaking, it’s also funny seeing how larry changes with the times. 10 years ago he was doing ‘do not use your blackberry at dinner!’ bits, this year he’s doing ‘i need to charge my phone so i can also look at it at dinner like everyone else’ bits.

The post-show podcast actually goes into the digital piece a bit. On the 1999 Curb special (pre-show), HBO made them use cheaper-looking cameras to save money.

The actor who played Funkhouser died in 2019

and zoom out to an autistic kid staring at a snow globe?

and Bob Newhart wakes up and it was all just a dream?

I wonder how much longer AV Club will be on the Kinja platform. I think it took Lifehacker a few months until they switched. The Takeout is still on Kinja too, but the comments have been disabled and the output has dropped a ton. 

All I know is that the AV Club is impossible to browse on a phone.

Just wanted to mention that AVClub and Splinter are now beside Jezebel on the Paste masthead so everything is nice and official.

You left out the best line:

Noticed on second watch: one of the protestors is carrying a sign that reads: “Yada Yada Yada.” Nice little Easter egg.

The final shot of the seven of them arguing manners was exactly the right way to end it and how I want to imagine them forever.
