Godard is what my friend calls a “refuse-nik,” an artist or entertainer who refuses to do what he’s good at and best-known for. Woody Allen, for instance, is a refuse-nik when he tries to make serious movies that simply aren’t any good. Comedians often end up that way. It wouldn’t kill Godard to make a coherent,…

I was actually surprised at how aware he was that Mulaney was just doing this for comedy purposes (saying that Mulaney was conflating stories for his act). I’d expected more of the insane reaction John Oliver tends to get. That he is annoyed but still seems to get what Mulaney was doing is a bit of nuance in a world…
That is not correct. What we know as Hamburgers are American. What you may be thinking of is a Hamburg Steak, which you would never confuse for a burger.

Yesterday, as my girlfriend was leaving the house, she was debating whether or not to bring a jacket. I was about to describe the one she grabbed as a “good Republican cloth coat,” but I didn’t really feel like explaining the reference while she was obviously stressed out and in a bit of a hurry.
