Cena's actually better at rapping than wrestling. And Hulkster in Heaven is a goddamn masterpiece.

It only gets funnier over the course of the show, and the Pop Secret bit is the perfect capper.

A bit off topic but I think it's a misnomer to describe Family Guy's appeal as "recognition-based humor" being that everyone I've ever met who was a big fan of the show was too young and/or pop-culturally ignorant to recognize the references. They thought the show was just being weird and "random" and found it…

I think David Cross himself considers Tobias asexual and oblivious to how he comes across, and the first two seasons back that up. But yes, in season 3 he's just badly closeted.

@avclub-edb4298fb247e84edd2dd6fe38c9ab78:disqus I try to do the 11-hour marathon every other year or so, because I am a horrible nerd. It's fantastic, especially with a steady diet of pipeweed.
