Next year:

“We decided to play a five-minute song while showing only ONE dead person’s face. To choose which one, we put it to Twitter.”

Life is complicated and I agree it seems so reductive to try to look at this situation in terms of victims and villains, especially when we can’t ever really know what these relationships were like. I do feel weird about people who talk about their babies “saving” them. It’s that thing where if you’re not willing to…

You know just how much of a p.o.s. douche you really are when everyone wants to see a very over the hill Mike Tyson absolutely destroy your face.

I think the most important thing to remember is that Mulaney is clearly a cartoon mouse who got turned into a human by a curse of some kind.

Bittersweet Symphony? If Sympathy then that might be awesome.

Luxury!

It’s well known Michael Palin grew up in an old water tank on a rubbish tip.

It’s rumored that Terry’s daughter was asked to purchase 5 folding chairs for her father’s 70th birthday party. It cost $42 million, but after four years those chairs finally arrived.

Palin’s diaries are so eye-opening in that regard. Not that Idle was always right or that he was excessively savvier than all of them, but there is a very interesting mix of “I’m just glad someone’s letting me do this” (Palin) with some “don’t commercialize the art” (Cleese/Jones/Gilliam) and “whatever” (Chapman).…

a shorter list might be ‘People John Cleese Likes’.

Cleese is like Chevy Chase...it’s funny he’s an asshole but it’s also not really an act.  Eric Idle has always been too obsessed with famous people and money.  Gilliam has always been crazy and irresponsible.  Chapman was always a huge superior asshole.  Terry Jones was always a tyrant.  And Michael Palin was always…

The Dead Milkmen have a lot of references that I only got later. I still think of Jon Wurster as the idiot kid who was looking for his burrow owl in a tree.

The true star of 1993's Super Mario Bros. and the 1998 Troma classick Buttcrack.

This is distracting from the real issue, which is that according to a credible rumour I’ve heard, Moriarty is the descendant of Sherlock Holmes’ adversary and is continuing the work of his criminal empire.

I know it is tempting to accuse Megyn Kelly (that’s “Megyn” spelled with a “y” because of course it is) of having surgeries that alter her natural appearance. I would like to point out, however, that nothing was ever natural about Megyn-with-a-“y” as she emerged fully formed from a vat labeled “conservative blonde…

Simmons’ life story could make an interesting biopic, if he (or, when the time comes, his estate) were willing. But lord knows there ought to be better actors than Pauly Shore.

Emma: I won the Academy Award for Best Actress.

I’d love to see how the pre-game banter goes with her:

I’ve come to the realisation that ITYSL is the type of comedy that just isn’t funny when you try telling people about it. After seeing so many people (including on here) go on about how funny it is, despite not *sounding* funny when people talk about it, I gave it a go.
