What'd you think? I'm… not exactly impressed with the animation. I think it doesn't help that it's really stiff and corner-cutty. It feels like a video game cut scene… which is odd, considering that video game cut scenes don't really feel like video game cut scenes anymore.

When I saw the stills of the designs, I was thinking it might be OK — but seeing them animated, ugggggggggh. Why is it so blocky and shitty and ugly?

Yeah! Last season was good, but it kind of had that "OK, we'll just settle into a groove and ride out for another couple years" vibe. So I'm excited for Archer Vice.

I kinda twigged to the Pam thing though, seeing as she kind of shrinks in the trailer. So I figured something like that was happening.

Mr. Anderson was AWESOME.

I had a feeling that'd be controversial, but aside from Booger, I guess it'd be Dan maybe?

Another interesting thing — one of the foremost Nilsson experts is Curtis Armstrong — a/k/a Snot from American Dad.

Hm… was… the performance as lame as that video made it look? As "eh" as I am on the idea of him singing to records, he didn't even particularly seem too terribly into it.

Eeee! What a beautiful kitty!

Perhaps it turns out that VINNIE ran over Brian! !?!?!??!?

Methinks she never saw Duel. But yeah, it totally is the best idea EVER to do a Duel Riff as your Xmas Episode.

What about this? https://archive.org/stream/…

But Grumpy Cat isn't the color of Tartar sauce.... unless they got really gross sauce.

I think what happened is Nick eventually relented and ran it once or twice after the MTV airing, but I remember the MTV thing was a really big deal, at least in my middle school.

And Son Of Stimpy didn't run on Nick — Nick banned the ep, and so it ran on MTV.

The weird thing with Haim is that I see all this press about them, but none of it seems to actually say anything about what they sound like.

I figure it was because they knew it was that idiotic Neko review. Though it would have been awesome to actually have it in droves.

I loved the episode. Was Timmy partially a joke/parody of the trope sometimes where there's a contest and some kid gets to be on the show, and typically has like one line, but is everyone's best friend? That's kinda what it felt like to me (to the point where I was wondering if Timmy WAS gonna turn out to be Some…
