Having worked at a variety of web companies over the years, I would bet dollars to donuts that that the writers who work at the AV Club (you know, the ones we actually interact with) absolutely hate the ads, but have no power over them. The people who make decisions about ads do not write for the site and probably…

Weird ass hill to die on, girl. 

I think he must be Post Malone’s as well.

Not often you get to say good job MTV.

Also partially to blame! But yeah, the “small” plane doesn’t really factor in past all the other weirdness going on that flight.

This pic is the only time I’ve considered him good looking.  Saw him open for Halsey and he was such a douche.  I’ve never understood why Queen Lana hooked up with this ish. 

We got a regular Jessica Fletcher over here.

Cardi B is just so photogenic. I love her image/personality more than her music, but that is a-ok :)

I actually have a soft spot in my heart for Pete Davidson, so it’s rare that I criticize, but honey, get the gum out of your mouth. You are chewing like a horse.

Walk through a Forever 21. It’s like stepping a in a time machine. 

Nailed it. But it makes sense, when you consider that he had one album, and the mystique and tragedy surrounding him. Half the premise of the book could be summarized as “What if a quasi-Jeff Buckley didn’t drown but instead had some kids and then re-released Grace as a solo acoustic album?”

Omg he looks terrible, exactly how I would look with hair that color.

This VMAs is giving me weird feels. I know fashion is circular, but the fashion here is slowly going back to the time when I actually watched the VMAs with excitement and ran to school the next day to talk about them. 

Amber Rose’s outfit is the most tryhard thing I’ve seen in a minute.

It’s finally happened...

Look, I’m not one to pit Max Martin against Max Martin, but at the end of the day the cheerleading breakdown was a gateway to the outright rapping of reputation and Max should’ve known to nip that one in the bud.

I’ve enjoyed some of the Carpool Karaoke and found others a waste of time. But by god the Tony Awards version puts a smile on even my non-Broadway Musical-loving face:

He also waters it down by singing as much as possible on the show in other skits.  He did a medley of tunes with Grande recently and I didn’t understand what was supposed to be entertaining about it.  Corden really seems to have just let all the hype go to his head and is constantly trying to show off.  His singing is…

I’d assume she ALREADY has the book deal or whatever. You can’t just set up a stage in the middle of Union Square like this without permits, can you? It sounds like she has some kind of backing for this already.

Corden stole 90% of his show style for Graham Norton. Instead of Norton’s Big Red Chair, Corden has Car Pool karaoke. Which is getting old.
