What I've found is that a lot of times the FXX episodes on in a given night are based around a theme and ordered chronologically. So if you catch it at 8 or 8:30 it's a good one but if you see it on at 10 PM, forget it, it's gonna be from Season 23 and involve Bart getting a selfie stick or something

Disqus name aside, Growing up I didn't get Comedy Central until MST3K was almost off the air and so this is a tradition I didn't really know. I did check in with it last year for a while. Oh and I also got lectured one Thanksgiving they did it on Sci-Fi that I should spend more time with relatives and less with

Nice to have something to flip to during Thanksgiving football - Season 1 of the Simpsons, in all their gnarled-faced glory.

Love this show on Comedy Central, sad it's ending. John Mulaney had an incredible set on it about coming home from middle school to watch the OJ Trial that I can't seem to find anywhere online (there are other pieces of it from the CC website but they're not as good).

Since it was done as part of Cast Party, the podcast 'movie' that they filmed, they had to wait for Cast Party to be made available online. I think.

As a Giants fan, while I am sometimes placated by my team receiving national coverage in the rare instances I am outside the home market on a Sunday, I am also upset that we get Buck and Aikman at least 5 times a year. Every time I have to think about Buck's totally flat call of one of the greatest and most exciting

He certainly has, but not at this concert.

When I was getting into these guys I was 18 and they were like 25 to 30, which seemed quite a lot older. Now I'm in my mid-30s and they're like 40-45. I get older and they seem to stay the same age.

This happens. I went to a Squarepusher show where he wore a helmet with like an iPad display on the front and it had cool-ass lights on it and he waved his arms around but for music he clearly just pushed play on his then-forthcoming album. It was all new music though.

Soudns pretty great - at a different point in my life I definitely would've flown to Houston to go to this.

I've gone to 5 'IDM' concerts in my life, 2 bad, 2 so-so, and one really good. It's a mixed bag, but even if the person just basically presses play on their forthcoming release and then has some dumb visuals associated with it, it's okay.

I never said it was extremely harmful. Gross was a strong word, so I'll back off that, but to me it says something about a person if they do that to a child, and that something is bad.

But it's to a child - don't you see how at least one of your examples is utter nonsense to a child (the commute)? That's my point - communicating with children does mean projecting some aspect of your memory of childhood on to them. But they can't possibly understand the idea of what it's like to have an enjoyable

It's not harmful, it's just narcissistic. Why are you expressing this thought to a child, who likely has no real concept of 'I remember when I could do X'? Mara says as a follow-up that she had no idea how to respond to people when they'd say stuff like this. If you insist on making people who can enjoy certain

While I agree that's certainly true, I think it's even more gross to say that kind of thing to a child if you do have those sorts of problems.

I am starting to get a bit tired of John Lennon live, but partly because Aukerman feels compelled to repeat certain character beats.

I feel like rather than being a half-baked Hanford creation like he was in Chicago, he was deliberately telling shaggy dog stories and Scott Aukerman basically played a character who was infuriated at how he couldn't get to the point. It was really great, though. I'm kinda hoping that character doesn't pop up on

Yes, people are excited to be on TV, but they are also told how to act. Producers just make sure to get people who will give them what they need.

The commercials ran endlessly, though I may just be getting confused because that was the year that every comedy film ad seemed to require using The Commitments 'Treat Her Right' (aka the Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! song)
