oh yeah the kid is a dick

I don’t know who you mean by “Carl.” Are you talking about Rick’s son, Coral?

Cleese is like Chevy Chase...it’s funny he’s an asshole but it’s also not really an act.  Eric Idle has always been too obsessed with famous people and money.  Gilliam has always been crazy and irresponsible.  Chapman was always a huge superior asshole.  Terry Jones was always a tyrant.  And Michael Palin was always…

I always thought it was like a bad sitcom joke; but companies really do compensate customers’ bad experiences with coupons for more of the same.

They probably quit quietly just like everyone else.

I guess Brazil has different fire codes than the US. Every theater I’ve been to has an emergency exit to the side of the screen.

He didn’t leave Apple because he was bad at his job. He parted ways with Apple because they didn’t want him criticizing China and AI.

The project fell out of public view after that, and in October, Coppola told the New York Times that Apple wasn’t into the main character, Undine Spragg, who is both Coppola’s favorite literary anti-heroine and a character the tech behemoth found “unlikable.”

Keep ‘em coming and quick! BD Wong won’t live forever!

I just watched the Mulaney monologue today and it was so good. He can get away with some pretty decent barbs, like the stuff about Mel Brooks, because there’s a clear awareness of and affection for who he’s talking about.

Based on why individuals in the audience do not laugh Jo Koy further subdivides them into pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, blue diamonds, and purple horseshoes.

That’s because Dave knows how to laugh at himself, whereas Jo went onstage and whined about how everyone should be required to laugh at themselves except him.

So true. You can’t lose when joking about yourself. It’s pretty much Jim Gaffigan’s brand.

Speaking of marshmallows, he melted the second the heat was on then started tossing his writers into the fire. 

Funnier people than Jo Koy have bombed as awards show hosts. Looking at you, David Letterman. Difference there is that in the aftermath, as far as I know, Letterman never called Oprah and Uma marshmallows, and instead made himself the butt of the joke. Jo, you could stand to learn from Dave.

Chappelle is genuinely a smart and funny person, it’s that what passed for insight and humor in his prime has now been accepted and moved on, and he hasn’t. Funny bits he used to do about the police getting on the radio and going, “Calling all cars, calling all cars, we’re looking for a black man between... 4'3" and…

I guess I don’t really understand what “making sure the jokes are aimed at the right people” means, but I find John Mulaney funny and Gervais...not.

This is the basic problem with aging as an “edgy” comic. Edginess doesn’t age well in general, but when you’re young, you’re usually taking on the old sacred cows and loosely arguing for a new way of looking at things that can be interesting and thought-provoking even if you’re ultimately wrong. Almost all aging…

Okay, now that I’ve watched the episode, here’s my favorite moment.
The Doctor sadly saying “I’m adopted, too” when talking with Ruby.
YES. THANK YOU. HOLY CRAP.
The Timeless Child has been all about the “lore” of the show. Chibnall never looked at it from that perspective, despite (ironically) being adopted himself.

How…

I love the show and was so happy to see her show up in the third season - I love her complete “shut the hell up and stop annoying me” attitude with the main characters. Her “I’m so tired of you amateur wanna-be crime-solver motherfuckers” take on the role is always funny.
