Derek Jeter’s Taco Hole is an all time classic

The thing I love most about The Onion is their mastery of expressing profound moral outrage and vicious condemnation without deviating from their dry, detached tone, as with their legendary post-9/11 issue, or their sadly always-relevant ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens mass…

I’ll add too that there seem broadly to be two ways of doing WU: as a parody of news broadcasts/newscasters (which I think Chevy Chase and Kevin Nealon, among others, went for), or as a Take on the news (Dennis Miller, Fey and Poehler, for example). I think the former approach would be a better one right now. There…

I think I finally figured out what his complaint about Weekend Update is. This week was just an absolutely horrid week for everything. Just an absolute horrific garbage fire. Yet the jokes, which WERE mildly funny, were told with the same tone and demeanor as all the non-political jokes. I think Perkins wants some…

Wow...I thought it was a pretty solid episode...a B for me. Was it groundbreaking or a classic? No. But I laughed during the cold open (until Baldwin showed up), the parents having sex, the Bachelor, Robbie, the pizza guy, the Madden sketch, a couple of solid Update lines. The only flat ones for me were Oil of Olay, Fo…

I thought Peyton Manning and Derick Jeter were pretty decent hosts. Also, I will never forget watching Joe Montana say the line ‘I’m going upstairs to masturbate’, in a sketch. I was a kid and thought that was the edgiest thing ever.

To be fair,  I think most of us are tired of Baldwin’s Trump impersonation.  It’s just lazy.  Although to be fair to him, Trump is such a caricature of a person himself that he may be somehow immune to impersonation.  

Peyton Manning and Charles Barkley were both good hosts, particularly if you grade on a bit of a curve for athletes/non-actors which I think is only fair to do.

No one is “forcing” anyone to do anything. You can make whatever you want, and other people can critique it for whatever reason they want. What people seem to be asking is “when will you stop critiquing art” and the answer is, as it has always been: never. Art will always be critiqued.

I agree - too much, and too uneven. And Dr Doom replicas attacking our heroes Magnificent Seven style, but with lightsabres and golden snitches is just fucking stupid.

It’s only an “argument” because people seem to think every piece of criticism is a personal attack on them. You don’t HAVE to have this argument at all. You can say, “Huh, that person has a different critique than me. Interesting!” and move on. The fact that people think criticism MUST be responded to and crushed into…

I’m sure one day I’ll be proven wrong but The Dark Tower just seems unadaptable to screen.  It’s just to much 

Alright, how about this: (1) I agree that people assuming the worst of each other based on assumptions, and then simplifying and exaggerating each others’ positions, is a big problem for any sort of constructive conversation on the internet; (2) I’m interested to hear that you’re a gay gamer, and I take the point that…

Here’s a life lesson that has really crystallized in my brain in the last few years for you. Are you ready for this? Context matters.

Tell me how this substantively differs from the Soviet Union requiring that all art, in all forms, made in the USSR for decades require patriotic elements?

Thats insane and indicitive of an oblivious person

Not saying what you’ve stated is wrong, but I’ll preface I remember the whole ‘83 video game crash and I still have a four switch ‘78 Atari 2600, so immediately date me there....

I’m part of several nerd communities centered around comic book films, and gaming. I connect with these people so well regarding our favorite past times that I never think to wonder their stance on diversity... Until the topic comes up..

Everything you’re saying is true. But the people who need to hear it just fuuuuuuuuuuuucking refuse. I’ve tried all kinds of approaches to talking w/ other commenters here about gender or race-bias in gaming: listening first; keeping things hyper-rational and citing data; letting things get emotional and appealing to…

That was spectacular. Agree with all your points. Grim, but poignant. Intense, but methodical. Frustrating, but satisfying. It. Is. Rad. I’m super interested to see this new Holly Gibney, too. I’m guessing that it won’t even phase most people because hardly anyone has watched Mr Mercedes, but they’ve set a really high…
