I really really hate all Christmas music and Wonderful Christmas Time is the fucking worst 

I was on Jeopardy in 2012. I was sporting a modestly impressive jewfro at the time. During the breaks, he likes to tunelessly sing to himself. As he was taking pictures with all of us, he sang “here’s a guy with my hair from the ‘70s” to himself as he approached me.

It’sh only natural that Sean Connery would drag his archnemesis to the afterlife.

“I should have mailed it to the Marx Brothers.”

They can try, but I doubt they’ll get far. Even the original cast couldn’t replicate the enormous success of the first film in the sequels.

This year has dimmed the lights of too much of our Black brethren.

This is probably the most devastated I’ve felt about a series’ cancellation since Arrested Development back in ‘06, which also felt like it was on borrowed time for most of its run. Venture Bros. was one of those rare parodies of a genre (multiple genres, really) that was not only consistently clever, but also a…

It’s a messed…

It can’t be said enough:

Man, those circuit board faced robots from 6MDM gave me nightmares for years as a kid. Yes I am old.

BONG

Cohen might want to read Vonnegut’s Mother Night. “We must be careful about what we pretend to be.” 

It is impossible to parody these people & probably a mistake to try

I have a soft spot for Scrubs. During a rough part in my life I’d watch 4 episodes of it a day and it always made me feel better.

On the subject of Monk, this one’s pretty great:
