I hadn't heard of it. I only briefly heard about Trevor Noah's supposedly 'offensive' tweets, then I read them, and was profoundly disappointed that they were bland and lame.

I learned yesterday that Melissa Villasenor was a semifinalist on America's Got Talent for her impressions. And this is the first episode I've seen them use that whatsoever (and she did a 5 second Owen Wilson).

It covers up the smell of the dank memes. They're still illegal in some states.

They're the type that had to watch the Report for a few nights before they realized he was making fun of them.

I didn't catch that callback, which means I need to rewatch Sunny again.

They are superpredators with no conscience and must be brought to heel.

Beck is a scientologist? That's unfortunate.

The humanities still have the greatest control over our language, so provided "gender studies" continues to thrive as it is doing, I think that definition will be in contention for quite some time. It bothers me how much power we let a word difference like "transgender" vs "transexual" have over identities. But once…

The bar argument articulated beautifully a conversation I had with a friend about "love" through the "falling" analogy, and that makes me want to recommend the whole series just for that scene (thankfully there is plenty more for which I would recommend it). Kurt's comments about superficial similarities being…

This is probably 10 months too late, but the reason I have heard it was shortened to "trans" is because running with the academic definition of "gender" as a social construct of things one is expected to do based on their biological sex, to say you are "transgender" means you were born in the wrong societal roles, not…

That's the main thing I appreciate his presence for. All he has to say is three words, "Got a haircut," to make me laugh.

Women's Wearhouse: You're Gunna Look the Way You Look.

I rewatched this episode recently. I think it may be my favorite sex scene of all time, for the amount of emotion it got out of me. It's incredibly unnerving and only works after the slow build that they've managed to create.

I thought National Anthem was fine until the artist reveal near the end, which really sold it for me. But it's hard to make it that far.

As soon as she started talking to a man harboring "roaches" I thought "this is all a Holocaust analogy, isn't it?" But the reality was even scarier, because it brings contemporary versions of phrenology into the fold, via "inferior genetics."

I don't know why they didn't just sterilize the "roaches" and move on.

I counted it in three different sketches; maybe coincidence, but that's quite a bit as soon as the Hairspray Live ads started running. But look: we're talking about it right now. That counts as free advertising, so if it was intentional it worked.

When he walked back on stage after the "Election Night" sketch, I thought he was just going to do another monologue and that would've been fine by me. The characters sketch was funny, though. Nice to see them again. But why not give him another monologue?

Lorne and NBC announced that they were going to have 30% fewer commercials this season, and therefore more branded content. Remember the weird Burger King sketch? The Honda Robots sketch? I've been keeping my eye out all season for branded content and it's everywhere. The hairspray is absolutely one of them.
