He gets so much joy from the world ("Hooray!") and inadvertently gives so much joy back ("I just want to put him in my pocket!"). He's just about my favourite television character ever.

You should also see this guy, who can make the ball look as if it's fixed in space or escaping his control altogether of its own volition: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

12 really had its head up its own ass. I always just pretend it doesn't exist, that they went straight from 11 to 13, both completely implausible and ridiculous but entertaining as hell.

I am somewhere between 60/40 and 50/50 "Yay!" and "Oh no!" "White Bear" and the Christmas special were very hard to watch, with their sense of infinite lostness and aloneness: I assume at least one of the new episodes and quite possibly all six will be subtitled "Misused technology will create a new inescapable hell

I know we tend to dream-cast her in everything but Tilda Swinton would be a genuinely terrifying Serena Joy.

Clever Canadians Know How To Watch TV Shows They Are Putatively Forbidden From Seeing.

It was such a perfect joke that I didn't even get it at first: I thought she was being sarcastic and the joke was that BoJack was so thoughtless he didn't even get her an actual present, and then I realized, oh, right, she's a cat.

I was thinking the same thing. The first third of the first episode was so crammed with jokes I couldn't even keep up. All through the series I'd get so distracted with things happening in the background — animal jokes, signs, book spines — that I'd lose track of the action in the foreground. It's all good: it just

I hope Jessica Biel isn't reading this (you never know) but I've never liked her in anything: this episode may have turned me around, because she was not only a great sport, she was really funny.

Second-last image, last panel: what the actual fuck is going on with Betty's head? Her facial features are shifted at least 60 degrees to the left of where they should be. No wonder she looks so horrified and pained.

We may as well just admit that it's pure soap opera now, with no connection to the real world, and enjoy it on those terms. If "enjoy" is the right word.

The game's been out for just over a week, so whatever its artistic merits, you have to give the author some kind of credit for plotting and writing the entire thing, creating or commissioning the cover, and publishing it in such a short period of time. Dude's got a work ethic.

Whereas The Kids in the Hall can do a sketch about UFOs and anal probing and make it hilarious, by making the aliens a couple of working joes who are just doing their job: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"Spotty late period"? Really? Nobody read that headline and thought, hey, that might have a second unintended meaning?

He's still alive! In his nineties, but still hanging in there.

Episode 5 is something really extraordinary. It's like a nightmare that will never end.

Yeah, his parents named him after Cinco de Mayo. It's not any stupider than Apple or Moxie Crimefighter.

We spent a week in Chicago and everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, even the transit workers, which was a first for us. It's like New York only full of nice Midwestern folks. But then, we've been to Manhattan three times and never once encountered the kind of legendary unpleasantness we were expecting on our
