I get your angle, but the AV Club is all about critical commentary, and HateSong has the chance to do that. So many things in this song are actually hate-worthy, but we don't dig into lyrics, composition, the fact of what happens when you remove the Heys and Hos from this song, just "I play different music than they

Another annoying HateSong where someone hates something because it's not their style. There's a lot to hate about this song, but just calling it "bland" or "bad" is lazy. Why don't any of these musicians get specific anymore? "It's so bad I won't even tell you why."

Can't wait can't wait can't wait

He's super-gracious at meet and greets, you're in for a treat.

Re: Chuck — I think Jimmy brings him new groceries on the daily, if not weekly, to keep in the cooler that Chuck uses for a fridge, and that by going on this bender he has not only neglected to ground himself, he's forgotten to bring the groceries in. Basically Chuck is Jimmy's cat.

Isn't the reunion reserved for Watch What Happens Live?

Just want to put something on a top-level post that relates Doralee Jones' point below, which is that the druggy place Abbi goes to looks more like a hat-tip to Deee-Lite's "Groove is in the Heart" video (complete with interpolated background music that evokes the same theme.) I snorted seltzer at that gag.

The Parks episode has one of my favorite sitcom throwaway jokes, from Ben Wyatt: "My Brita filter is older than their relationship. …Should I change my Brita filter?"

I like the implication that Black Mirror takes more than 6 hours to watch, because each episode requires a recovery period. Also therapy.

So excited to see them taking off! If anybody hasn't seen the buttload of webisodes they did before getting picked up by Comedy Central, enjoy your afternoon, because they're all still out there.

This season doesn't have a hook to it. "Marcel is the worst" was a good one — "You can judge all of these people by how they treat Beverly" was a great one — "The Voltaggio Bros: Which will earn their parents' love?" was FANTASTIC.

The logic doesn't follow. If the choice is clear, and they believe consumers will make that choice, why not let them?

I'm a bit perturbed once again by Moffat's lack of science for the Doctor's actual method. I get Clara's thing — these indicator lights probably mean something, let me press these switches and see if anything happens is pretty much just good IT — but his "getting into the Dalek's brain by completing the circuit with

Sam Phillips in Die Hard: With A Vengeance. Classic shit.

If you read the Walkthrough on this episode, Fuller alludes to Chilton maybe not being dead, by pointing out that "Serpico survived a bullet to the face." That bullet had a clean exit through Chilton's cheek — he may well not be dead. I hope he isn't, because I've really enjoyed having him around.

I thought it was great in its first season, but sure, it's good news!

Pffft. Busta Rhymes swears waaaay more than any of those guys. I was listening to "Genesis" the other day and the amount of N-words on "Break ya Neck" alone — and that's the SINGLE. I think they're missing some data.

50 bucks worth of games? That's like 5/6 of a game. Send him a gift box of everything rated E, MICROSOFT!

I feel sometimes like HateSong is drifting away from its original intent, which seemed to be to probe into people's honest pathological hatred of a particular song, to the point that they obsess over their hatred of it. Ideally, if somebody is ripping apart a pop song on here, shouldn't they otherwise love pop? This

I guess I forgot.
