I have your baby in me, giraffe!

This episode inspired me to loudly reveal the most depressing parts of my personal life whenever I'm among a noisy crowd, so thanks Clone High for introducing me to a cheap alternative to therapy!

2 > 5 = 7 > 3 > 1 > 6 > 4

Yeah, the Pete 2.0 that springs up by about season 4 is one of my favourite developments in the show. He's still able to be the straight man when the story calls for it, but with the addition of his offhand references to an incredibly depressing personal history and home life they also tapped into this great vein of…

The most valuable lesson The Magic School Bus taught me is that the True Meaning of Christmas is to organize your recyclables.

Someone get Jim Henson's Creature Shop on it.

Funny delivery of "Let's get some fuckin' french toast," too. Which, I mean, isn't giving anyone a lifetime pass, but it has changed the way I announce roughly 5% of my breakfast plans.

Alright, the quick version: For my last couple years of university, whenever I'd go back to my hometown from May - August, I found it very difficult to find a regular job that would net me enough cash to pay for my next two semesters of school. So, using the resources available to me (i.e. my grandmother's old…

The two audience interactions that I recall having the nicest build made it in, although Todd was pretty consistently great at making something out of whatever was given to him, no matter how dry. There was also a really funny period where he was talking to a guy who had somehow, "coincidentally" already been to two…

Hey, I'm in this thing! Sort of! During the Vancouver portion you can see me at about the 50 minute mark playing the role of Smiley, Plaid-Shirted Twentysomething Seated in the Front Row Who, from Time to Time, Shoots a Look of Pity at the Microphoned Gentleman Next to Him Who's Trying to Match Wits with the Unique…

I believe that's Dan Castellaneta as "Matt Groening", too.

My favourite part of that joke is that originally the picture for Sam Simon was going to be a blank screen that read "No Photo Available", alluding to the way he tended to be overlooked by the press in the history of the show. They faxed that over for his approval, and shortly thereafter he sent back the drawing that…

A couple of years ago I convinced a group of friends to play Duopoly with me, in which I put two boards together in a figure-eight shape by making the Free Parking spaces overlap. We're still playing.

At first I thought Rick was too misanthropic to be likable, but his ability to immediately size up a situation has made him one of my favourite characters on TV right now. I appreciate it because it's really funny, and I appreciate it because it briskly moves the stories along.

The earliest one I can think of offhand is the latter half of South Park's two-parter on religious fear tactics, "Probably", aired on July 26th, 2000.

Whoa, is this Frank Oz?

Lone Gunmen question for you folks: Anyone know if the writers named Langley after the CIA headquarters location, or the township outside of Vancouver they filmed some stuff in (including parts of Home) over the course of seasons 1-5? I ask because I grew up in Langley, and I'd like that place to have something to…

Luckily, no one was hurt.

It's quickly become a show that time forgot, but Ed had two overweight cast members in (wise crackin' pal to Julie Bowen's character) Molly and (wise crackin' pal to Justin Long's character) Mark Vanacore. Neither of their weights were even brought up on the show, ever (I can't recall a single fat joke,…

The Tick, of course, deserves some additional cred for being the meeting place of Jackson Publick (who was a writer on the show) and Patrick Warburton, thus giving us the Brock Samson we know and love today.
