a show says that rape's totally fine

If you’re looking at TV shows (or movies or plays or books or performance art or…) to provide lessons on how to behave, where bad guys are 100% Evil Just Because, protagonists are set forth as role models to be emulated, and everyone gets their just desserts in the end, you may want to stick with the aforementioned GI…

You’re right, Louie totally fails at being a stupid medieval morality play. When will we be free of depictions of life as it actually happens so we can live in a world of educational GI Joe postscripts.

What does Pamela do for a living that she can afford a bathroom with such a nice deep freestanding tub (even if it is obviously acrylic instead of enameled iron) on a dais clearly meant for overflow — in Manhattan? And the ~$300 worth of candles? She doesn’t strike me as a romantic luxurious candle bath enthusiast.

Are you kidding? She challenges his mundane routine with her hijinx (Plays with his bald head! Gives away all his furniture! Jokingly turns his kids against him! Brings up the elephant in the room wrt his ex-wife! She’s a wild card!)

Like when The Critic was on that episode of The Simpsons.

Yeah, she’s funny but she’s poisonous. Look at the quivering “explaining my feelings” thing she got Louie to do.

Country Feedback was the breakup song for my first really serious relationship. I still get something in my eye from it, even though the girl and I remain good friends 20+ years later.

BBT doesn’t have a “normal self.”

Utter piffle.

Both the faux- and genuine-watchwearers are trying to signify the same thing. Looking down on the faux-wearers is raising the bar of classism beyond “you can’t afford a Rolex,” because obviously Soulja Boy can afford a Rolex, it’s just that he didn’t come from an Upper-East-Side house-in-the-Hamptons background, so…

Charles Grodin starts off with a blue-labelled water bottle to the left of his plate. It alternates with a green-labelled bottle that Grodin very deliberately reaches way over to the right side of his plate for to pick up and replace. This despite having a water dispenser behind him, with an antique glass 5-gallon jug…

When was Infocom ever cruel and unfair? (Aside from HHGTTG and Bureaucracy, where cruelty and unfairness were pretty much the point.)

Probably better than Olive Garden.

“Paradise,” the brothers’ restaurant in Big Night. Obviously.

I picture her place being very Midcentury Modern; “Danish Wood” doesn’t fit the meter though.

Is this the same Janelle that The Queers wrote a song about? Apparently Joe Queer and Ben Weasel sometimes write songs together.

Their heads are going to start popping sparks and smoking out the ears the year a slavery movie is up against a Holocaust movie.

If your workplace has a problem with a maternal tit scrolling by on your monitor, they almost certainly have a problem with you reading the A.V. Club on the clock in the first place.
