She shouldn't. That bit was a brilliant skewering of some shameless shit in broadcast history. I thought that was pretty obvious. 

I think the other post is about the Two Black Swans episode and it’s was a pretty consistent characterization that Jenna was a terrible, insensitive person. This one is even more layered as a joke considering the Amos & Andy Show was a real thing and one of the most popular TV shows of it’s time. The set up of the…

“Like driving electric cars to avoid fossil fuels, without realizing much of the electricity powering the cars still comes from fossil fuels”

Oh boy. You just smoke-signaled some of the internet’s scoldiest scolds.

This is one of those people who needs a firm hard slap at least once a day.

See, this response probably made you feel nice and snarky, but the fact that you care more about us reading than us enjoying what we’re reading is kind of the problem.

Well, when you write endless, cynical gossip to drive clicks, you inevitably end up contradicting yourself. Hilarious that an article they literally published yesterday said this movie was supposed to be great. At this point I only visit the site to see what new level of embarrassment they’ve reached.

Well, at least New AV Club is continuing the Old AV Club tradition of hyping some random movie to the hilt only to ultimately give it a C-.

But he “made a contribution to music history”! You know who made a incalculably larger contribution to music history? Nirvana. I’m guessing the number of people who bought Nevermind specifically for the baby on the album cover, and not just any baby but specifically that baby, is pretty close to zero.

“The Atlanta innovator spent years building a vibrant coalition of trappers...”

Also, please get me your tiniest violin to play for his tale of woe regarding using his “celebrity” to hook up with hot chicks, who then dump him cause he’s not flush with baby album cover money.

“Though it seems pretty inarguable that Elden deserves more than $200 for his contribution to music history, it looks like he’s going to need to find a different avenue to get it.”

It’s a challenge, you know: one doesn’t want to respond to a review with “you just don’t get it man” because the whole purpose of a program like this is to invite discussion: the ambiguities and uncertainties are explicitly designed to position different audiences differently. Its not overly prescriptive about where…

This whole review is so off-putting: jokes about underage women kissing their guards in nearly the same breadth as “valiantly” defending the other underage women being exploited in the story, the “girl talk” thing just because a woman is camping, etc

Take it easy with the snarky asides and exclamation points - what is this, Mad Magazine in the 90s?! Wacka wacka wacka. God damn.

I’d love to see her review of the first Blackadder series, with scenes like Blackadder giving his ten year old wife some milk before bed.

the king seems content in his marriage (to, I will stress once again, an underage girl)

Nah, a lot of people took Trump seriously. There were protests asking the show to un-invite him, but they were ignored by NBC.

Yeah, I agree. Being incredulous to American media at least tacitly supporting the Iraq War during that time is a bit of convenient memory loss on par with pretending that most white Americans actually liked Martin Luther King before he died. Terrible things are often just really, really, really popular in this…

Probably not. The creators were probably born rich.
