The life stories are also there to improve SEO. I’ve noticed several recipe sites now put a convenient “jump to recipe” button at the top. It’s a welcome change, but it makes me laugh because it’s a tacit admission that “we know you just want to get to the recipe, but here’s all this crap anyway so we can hopefully be…

The text that comes before the recipe is not mindless filler—it’s

Want to stop getting visitors to this website? Keep doing these stupid slide shows!

You guys have editors, most of those bloggers do not. This is why I use Recipe Filter, a Chrome add-on that just pulls up the actual recipe.

Those life story bits on recipes aren’t there to improve my enjoyment of the food. They are there to distract me while the 200 affiliate links and 200 pictures load.

He falls into that trap of not recognizing whose problem resentment is. If he resents his wife, that’s not her problem to fix, it’s his - resentment, by definition, is when something bugs you and instead of figuring out a solution or getting out of the situation, you decide to stew and bottle up all the negative…

I came here to ask the same thing. The only “shortcut” I know for these garbage click-throughs is to jump to the comments by adding /slides/## (where ## is the last slide’s number) to the end of the URL.

Man, FUCK these slideshows.

Not to mention True Lies, Total Recall, Conan the Barbarian.

The lack of any Schwarzenegger (unless I missed it) is a serious oversight.

Where’s guy who provides a link to this list in list form instead of 56 click-through pages

Lizz Winstead, who created the show. She left because of it.

Can AV Club not do the “click for the next page” thing that The Takeout has been doing lately? I don’t understand why this format is becoming ubiquitous. Does each paragraph require a page? OK, I don’t know the particulars/problems you face when designing a web page; but clicking 32 time to get to the Comments section…

33 slides on this godawful site format should be a crime

This list reminds me that I sometimes feel like the only person to ever visit AV Club that doesn't absolutely love Wet Hot American Summer. I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I saw it for the first time recently and missed my opportunity.

Notable Omissions:

Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Tropic Thunder. Come on! If we're all about deconstructing clichés, how can Thunder not be listed.

I'd call Sarah Marshall an oversight. I know it's all subjective and shit, but…

Deeply flawed.
Obvious Child was okay but extremely cliche and forgettable. It wouldn't even crack my top 100. Knocked Up is terrible. School of Rock… what even?? Finally, Wet Hot American Summer is absolutely not better than at least 30 of the films on this list.
