We can only pray, because it's crossed over into parody.

I'm sorry, but hand-to-God I don't see any jokes there. it's not that I don't find the jokes amusing - I don't see the jokes!

No, because they're as artificial as anything else in a hack sitcom. It's the 'awww' moment for the audience, the moment when the narrative screeches into the maudlin and saccharine for the sake of the emotional 'aww, see, he can be considerate sometimes he's actually not a bad guy!' Except he's not, really, anymore…

No joke, people don't seem to realize what a goddamn disgusting thing that is to say to people. It's like if someone kept calling you 'Charlie Harper' - screw you.

The characters from Seinfeld were jerks. The characters from BBT are jerks acting out a weird nerd pantomime. Also, Seinfeld could at least recognize that a joke required 'set-up - beat - punchline.' BBT's entire joke setup is 'reference-pause for laughter - reference.'

Fuck off, television. Your nerd pantomime show was bad enough, this is just - no. What's the point of seeing Lil' Sheldon learn life lessons when we know they obviously don't take? He grows up to be an unpleasant, self-absorbed, rude asshole, so every episode of this show will be a Sisyphean endeavour in…

What is that smell, usually? I always assumed it was a fermented tofu product the Western olfactory palate was unfamiliar with.

Stop. Just stop with the goddamn lens flairs - it's not a scene-hightening aesthetic any more it looks like your cinematographer doesn't know how to do their goddamn job.

Kevin is appropriating Italian cuisine - he doesn't get to judge. (And joking aside, just because he said it was okay doesn't make it an appetizing idea.)

Love that one.

That you for responding for my flippant post with an attack on my personal politics! Bet you feel big and strong now, grrr. Such virility, wow, really marked your territory with all this fragrant urine.

I live near a massive Asian supermarket that I never go to because they have no interest in trying to sell to someone like me. It is a place full of things in boxes and packages arranged in orders I can't begin to fathom - the weight of my crushing ignorance about day-to-day Chinese culture comes crashing down around…

"If you can find egg noodles at an Asian grocer, that’s great, but we’ve used spaghetti forever and it more than suffices."

It's gifted programs in general: rather than recognizing that a bad education system is creating uneducated people and those who turn out 'smart' regardless should be taken as an inspiration to what a functioning education system could achieve if everyone was gifted a love of learning and a sense that knowledge was…

I refuse to identify as a 'brony' because of how irreparably toxic I consider the label to be. (Never mind that needing a male-specific fandom term is gross to begin with).

As a Classicist reading about the endless atrocities committed by the Romans, the excuse 'it was of its time' starts wearing thin pretty fast. They had morality, ethics, and standards of good behaviour: they consciously chose not to apply that to people they identified as the Other, something that continues today. 'Of…

I only know it because Yuki Nagato read it in MHS.

The third film in the Westworld franchise continued the downward-trend.

I used to love Orson Scott Card because as I smart, ostracized kid I saw myself in Ender and the kids in the Battle School.

It's sort of a mixed bag, that. There are MRA MLP fans, and those with Nazi Pony OCs and before you ask the answer is 'no, I have no idea how anyone can miss the point that badly.'
