That duckling thing would really explain his later issues with “those damn ducks” in Season 1

I somehow never put that together but it makes sense. 

The Bachelor Party episode is when it starts to really reveal itself and it’s fucking great how quickly that escalating plot gets completely out of control for the rest of the season (and series, really). 

You do realize he gets paid a lot of money for that, and he doesn’t have to do it but rather chooses to, likely because he gets paid a lot of money for it? 

I think he’s actually Don DiMello, and he’s going to say, “Bring out the girls.” 

I personally can’t wait for the Solo-esque scene where Dickie tells him, “Antonio? You should go by Tony. Tony Soprano. It’s cleaner.” 

“But he never had the makings of a varsity athlete.” 

Spoiler alert: everybody dies (eventually)

One thing I loved about The Americans was that for a show set in the 80s, it didn’t have that obnoxious “Hey Remember the 80s” vibe. Very little neon or flashy clothes. The whole show was set in suburban DC and just showed how that 70s fashion kind of lasted well into the decade when you were dealing with just…

He used this character in WCW in 2000. That’s far from an “obscure independent promotion,” it was a cable TV show with millions of viewers weekly. 

That abuse was definitely not... Hugh Morrus. (Which made me dig up this video, go ahead to 12:45)

The Chirrut Imwe scene alone makes it rewatchable for me. Who is this guy? Does he have Force powers or is he just a believer? Either way, he’s a blind ninja harnessing something greater than himself and dispatching a bunch of Empire troops, and it’s fucking great. 

His reaction to his wife not liking his book and how absolutely unhinged he gets always made me laugh so hard as a kid. I need to revisit this as an adult because I’m sure the majority of the humor was way over my head back then. 

This last week of Conan has been tremendous. From the surprise Paul Rudd appearance during the Bill Hader interview on Monday to Conan finally smoking on Tuesday, it’s been a fun ride. 

Michael Keaton did a surprisingly great Boston accent in Spotlight. Just the way he said “Spotlight” was very authentic. The other guy who played Mayor Carcetti’s Chief of Staff in The Wire, I remember his Boston accent being really good in Spotlight too. 

Well the fact that they brought in fucking Leah Remini to fill the role was just the most transparent, audience-insulting thing ever. “Hey, remember when you liked them together on that OTHER show? Well, now she’s back on THIS show!” 

“Well, how’d you get the beans above the frank?!” and the way he comically screams that line kills me every time. 

Zohan is one of the more touching and exciting Sandler movies. Not even kidding, it’s worth a rewatch. 

IIRC, Knoxville would only do press for that movie alongside his disabled co-stars. He didn’t do any solo interviews which I think is just such a nice thing to do, to let those actors shine despite not being as well-known as Knoxville. 

The headmaster reading the letter from Drugs Delaney is the funniest scene in the movie. “Whoa, sorry, man. Must have passed out there.”
