If, mid-season two, you'd have told me that Peridot would not only become my favorite gem but become my favorite by a wide margin, I'd have thought you were insane or trying to mess with my head. And yet here we are. I'm such a clod.

they just stopped covering adventure time. i can't help but fear that they're also stopping steven universe, but are spacing out the announcements to minimize the number of a.v. club reader suicides.

one of my last remaining reasons. and most likely the straw that breaks the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant's back. #RIPAVClub

thanks, i'm beginning my ween off of av club altogether after this one. will have to build an aggregate rss, which i should've done in the first place.

I took the episode as an explanation of why she didn't - or couldn't - hire a diverse on-screen staff to execute this series, as well as why she wouldn't immediately use the show to tackle various intrapersonal issues. Don't get me wrong, one of my best friends is a black show (Black Books) but Lady Dynamite is, above

Her voice-over work grabbed me before then, but I distinctly remember those sketches with Will Forte about cats making me take a more active interest in her writing e.g. standup/comedy/shows. Thanks for reminding me about those, I've just gone back & watched them, with more appreciation than ever!

I read somewhere - in this comment, I think - that Cinnabon allegedly paid Broad City to make him vanish.

considering the way in which i initially replied [below] this thread has really gone off the rails with an irony i'm going to choose to find endearing!

I'm probably guilty of that as a commenter. Sometimes it worries me to see people look up to the characters as feminists & even role models & I either get sidetracked or sidetrack someone else as a result. It's probably best to just sit those discussions/instances out and focus on watching & analyzing Broad City

I've found usually that asking for someone's point is met with resistance by most people, thank you for not being one of them; what was your point?

i hear you but — in a recent standup special for netflix, buress spoke on how he was just telling a joke and suddenly he's the spokesperson against that guy. i think the meta-comment here isn't like "hey remember how i dropped all that truth about that guy" but rather - looking at the construction of the line and its

thanking you! i kept thinking "i know some parallel to this joke executed very similarly in some body of media with which i'm very familiar" but i couldn't quite put my finger on it.

i said it too but - and i think idiotsitter knew this - it was so obvious that being right wasn't any sort of a letdown

may i ask, sincerely & not rhetorically, your approximate age range?

mine involve wine (a windows emulator for linux) and weed, but i'm just an over-30 yet. ((they don't actually involve weed but the wordplay didn't land with any variant of "amphetamines" so i'll thank you to simply pretend that it did)).

just rewatched this today - last week's "Being Frank" really got me interested to do some cross referencing - the "here are several fantastic outcomes" trope is relatively new as far as effective utilization in sitcoms go and this is one of the best examples (if second, then second to the timeline episode of

season 19 builds up and pays of wildly. i haven't been shockingly impressed with south park in a while but this past year it turned into one of the most promising non-dan-harmon-related things happening in television

sadly people don't care about protocols or specs. or the sacredness of bandwidth. i paid for access to The Babadook on a streaming video service, then downloaded a 700mb version of it via a small-scale ethical torrent network. never watched it with the streaming service, but have watched it over 10 times off my local

i wrote some custom CSS that stops me from seeing the grades, highly recommend doing that
