Have nothing to add to this except (a) I've always found your screen-name amazing, but more on-topic (b) I am from now on assuming that "Batman Returns" is the Darkest Timeline sequel to "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure".

Ah, the yearly reminder of how sad I am that there's no TRL equivalent these days. Some of those videos look rad as hell.

The only right name for an alarmingly large fluffy female Maine Coon or Persian cat is Lyon.

Metallica is at least semi-live-with-able. On the diametric opposite hand, you have poor little Pinkamena Zecora Smith…

Gilly, according to The Great Gilly Hopkins, apparently.

Came in to say pretty much that. Only thing I can add is that I figured the dude behind the Bachelor(ette) was a giant tool, but was a little surprised to see he is this much of a giant tool.

AV Club/Dissolve people, a few comedians, scientists, educators, animators. And Sue the T. rex, which is incontestably the greatest Twitter account ever.

"Speeed of light-ning! / Pow'r of THUN-der!

Hell, I'll go to bat for "When She Loved Me". It's like Newman watched a double-feature of "The Mouse and His Child" and "The Brave Little Toaster" and thought, "How can I condense all that into about a minute and a half song?"

Except she didn't even mention "Frozen". That and the only mention of "Muppets: Most Wanted" was a trailer run during a commercial break. Once again, great jarb, Disney's promotional department.

Aye, that's the one. Can't decide if that or the one where Linus' friend has to undergo chemotherapy (with the perfect title "Why, Charlie Brown? Why?") is the most deeply upsetting Peanuts special.

I may need to DVR this and revisit it because I watched it over and over as a child too. And yet, all I can remember about the story is how morose and off-putting it was, what with the lonely little girl desperate to reconnect her family with their American relatives. And then of course there's the direct sequel, I…

It is, and they've played it every year around Thanksgiving since it's debut. Which seems… odd, akin to that steakhouse in "The Simpsons" where they kept the cows right where everyone could watch them while eating. It basically does for the wild turkey (as different from the domestic bird as a wolf is from a Pug)…

These videos were terrific. I'd love to see the kids' reactions to other stuff throughout the year.

Gotta admire the honesty there.

Every Christmas Day, there's always a clear split down the ages between who laughs and who cringes when TBS gets to that sequence.

O.O I was up until this moment completely unaware of Stages one and two. Were they cut in America for reasons that are unclear?

Wait wait wait — Turkeys are American natives so doesn't "Turkey" refer to something completely different in pre-Plymouth England? It was a Guinea Fowl or something, I think.

Pass me the speech center of the brain!

Aye, I love the games they have on Google but dang it, I always have to play them to the end and wind up forgetting what I came there to search for in the first place.
