I think there's always a push toward mediocrity when it comes to popularity. Jimmy Fallon's not that funny, or clever, or interesting. He doesn't have much to say and he says it all in the most inoffensively bland way possible. But he managed to work his way into the entertainment business and he provides what a

Got it.

I'll never be tired of Pizza Hut. I can't eat McDonalds or Burger King anymore. A lot of the fast food I enjoyed as a kid is all but inedible now, but Pizza Hut is something special. The pooling caverns of yellow grease, the rolling hills of waxy cheese, and that perfect balance of crispy soft crust leaking it's

We should have seen this coming. I mean have you seen him interview people? He never lets anyone get a word in unless they're repeating whatever he just said. Five no's and a no means yes if you never stop circling your case for yes.

Maybe… Maybe not. There's an old animated movie called Gandahar which had a time travel element where two points a thousand years apart were directly connected by this weird time portal scheme. There's a legend that says "In a thousand years, Gandahar was destroyed. A thousand years ago, Gandahar will be saved."

They could have built up to that more. I think part of why it comes across as insignificant or unsatisfying is because they didn't really show Ashi coming around to Jack's appreciation of the natural world. The ladybug thing calls back to her quiet defiance as a child like what we saw in the first episode, and

Solid installment. A little repetitive in terms of Jack and Ashi's relationship. Really it only made progress when Jack made the choice to carry her around, and then again when Ashi dropped her weapon in the final scene. It worked, and there was nothing wrong with the way the two interacted. It was still fun.

I wouldn't say Teen Titans Go really fills the 'adults watching cartoons' market. It can be funny when it wants to, and I think there are some genuinely funny people working on it, but it's a kid's show. I don't even mean that as an insult, it's written for kids. It has long segments dedicated to completely inane

I mean it's a generic enough premise where they could really do anything with it. Will the show have any interesting voices attached that give it it's own flair and identity, or will it just be like that Sonic Boom cartoon that seemed to be competently made but ultimately too unremarkable to care about? I'm sure

But guys, he's not supposed to be funny! He's supposed to be not funny so Stephen Colbert looks funnier by comparison. Also his commentary isn't supposed to serve any real purpose, it's meant to simulate the vacuous white noise one experiences when they've entered a conversation with someone who has nothing to say

This actually seemed to be starting out strong. I get why people over here would be more irritated by the college PC jokes than entertained, but I thought Mr. Burns played off that dynamic pretty well. Plus it was kinda nice to see a mainstream classically liberal show take a bit of the piss out of the

Yay rick is back! Yay he got everything he wanted! Yay he abused the hearts and minds of those who trusted him to achieve his means eventually severing a marriage that seemed to be in recovery! Yay Morty is as alone in his perspective as he ever was! Yay the dangerous and destructive adventures of a man bereft of

When I got to the part about Ralph Bakshi's blood being involved in the Dreamworks animated movie Boss Baby I felt something like a sharp wind tear across my torso, leaving a scar that will never heal, but only fester as it continues to sustain significant abuse from the hostile environment of Hollywood animation.

That frog scared the shit out of me for a second.. More great work from the Samurai Jack crew, and I really loved the way they played with how the flashbacks influenced his decisions at the end of the episode.

What if we lived in some YA science fiction world where anyone who involved themselves in media or politics were required to be injected with a truth serum that kicks in whenever they're recorded or on camera? Wouldn't that be just lovely?

I wonder if his ratings would rise even more if John Baptiste stayed off the microphone between musical segments. I love Colbert, and Stay Human is clearly a great house band, but I don't think we need to have every joke bookended with another "Cooold Bluh-hooded!"

I don't mind that all the characters died at the end, I just didn't feel much of the impact because I didn't really care about any of them. Besides some pretty barebones characterization and a couple of hamfisted backstories, I never felt much reason to get invested in these characters and their struggles. I came

The good news is, maybe one of them will have a story we've only heard a few times before, as opposed to one that hasn't stopped being told since white people first realized they mucked things up a little.

Teddy Bear. If we can count on that creative spark to keep pushing out zingers we got nothing to worry about.

The whole Flat Earth or Hollow Earth or Fake moon conspiracies are disappointing. I've actually spent some time watching the 'documentaries' uploaded to youtube covering how NASA is a front for the Illuminati and the devil and how basic science proves that airplanes couldn't land on a rotating Earth… as long as we
