The Royal Family sketch was the funniest part! Maybe it's funnier for Brits than you guys, but I loved it. Armisen does a really good accent, everyone else was standard bad British accent, Perry was awful (but I don't blame a pop star for being terrible at comedy)

In real life, no-one has ever given themselves a pep-talk to psych up for sex while staring in the bathroom mirror

"Sure he's no Jonathan Ross"
Surely a positive? Wossy fawns all over guests and gives them an incredibly easy ride under the pretence of being cheeky to men and smutty to women. He also hasn't been funny since the 80s (arguably not even then)

Don't get too excited about Life's Too Short, guys. We've seen three episodes so far and it's still funny, but nowhere near Extras or The Office.

Why use *that* totally misleading picture from Bridesmaids that fooled everyone into thinking it was an ensemble comedy rather than a sappy two character friendship story?

Oh, sure, his self-doubt came across strongly when he was talking about struggling with improv on Step Brothers. I just felt that he had so much trouble articulating his responses that stuff that might have been interesting (like his long years struggling with crap parts and not getting work) became a kind of

I just watched this episode because I wanted to know why we hate Whitney Cummings. This is a terrible show. I'm surprised it was even reviewed on this site. Nothing about it is funny. We're talking painfully bad unfunny lines, bland characters, awful acting.  'Lame 30 Rock assistant' guy is part of the ensemble. WC

I love WTF with Marc Maron (and Party Down, Pa&R) but I gotta say Adam Scott was terrible. He was so awkward and inarticulate, it was like he had nothing very interesting to say, and he couldn't even properly form the words to say it.

I think the key is more consistent doses of Chang but small quantities. I'm a Changite but I didn't like his detective noir episode at all. I think his one-liners are the funniest in the show but he gets way too broad and silly in extended scenes.

I made it through, but it's frustrating that she seems to flip suddenly from trying to escape to taking care of him (when he returns from the drug shopping trip).

The only nice thing I can say about Atlas Shrugged is that it has some interesting ideas. About 10 pages of interesting ideas repeated enough times to fill a 1000 page book, along with shitty writing, dog-shit characters and a terrible plot. By the time you finish the novel, the interesting ideas that made you think

I enjoyed it, I thought Jim Rash was excellent and the Jeff/Dean plot was the funniest part of the episode. Pierce was decent but forgettable and could have been cut without losing anything.

I thought this review was fun. I stopped watching the show after three episodes, so I won't comment on how it is progressing. I think my biggest problem was that (unlike Todd) I wasn't enchanted by the Behrs/Dennings chemistry/hilarity, so I had nothing to get me through the swill that is the rest of the show.

Is this film a subtle critique of modern Hollywood comedies? A response to the tide of dross by making an anti-comedy; 90 minutes of Stifler in hockey gear punching people in the face. No jokes, no funny situations… just endless punching and saying the dumbest unfunny lines with a straight face.

Never watched SNL before. Why is the goddamn title sequence a three minute montage in the style of mid-90s sitcom titles?! It's like Hanging With Mr Cooper meets The Real World up in this bitch.

Yeah, I have a vague awareness of Yuengling, if I read it, but in my head it sounds like Youngling or Jungling (like Carl Jung).

I thought the guys on Dig Me Out were saying 'Prague music' for the first 35 minutes. Like there was some obscure rock sub-genre I'd never heard with a strong *Prague* influence. I had a similar problem at the beginning of the podcast when they were talking about some beer called 'Yingling' (thought it might be a

Justified because it's pretty good and *short*. Even themes I love like The Wire and The West Wing get skipped after a couple of eps.

At least the troubled production with all the delays and shitty cast/crew choices has massively lowered expectations. The Phantom Menace taught us that high expectations make a shitty superfluous film even harder to watch.

I watched the first four seasons of Chuck and I'd say it was mostly because Yvonne Strahovski is so gorram beautiful. Some of the character development was good, most of the spy plots were terrible (cheesy, cheap-looking, fake) but it was a fun if rather disposable show.
