No. Marmite is a thing people spread thinly on toast. It’s not a sauce. It’s not served by the spoonful, nor is it drizzled or slathered on anything.

Yup. You can sell enough tickets to fill a stadium once a year, but there’s a reason nobody’s interested in expanding that or making money from the TV rights.

... and not the good kind, like you want.

Oh yeah, I forgot this is an article about Amy Schumer on the internet, so all the comments are people repeating the same “joke” they didn’t write criticising her for supposedly repeating jokes she didn’t write.

Judging by the comments I saw when she spoke about him on SNL back when the story broke, there’s an awful lot of people who feel that Louis did nothing wrong, but also that Sarah’s the epitome of liberal cancer for enabling him. It’s almost as though this has more to do with misogyny (and not a little antisemitism)…

Louis is pretty open about how he’s into shame and humiliation. He always characterises himself as sad and inadequate. Public emasculation is pretty much his whole thing. Yet you’ve projected this entire domination fantasy onto him - twice - that’s all about him degrading women. despite the fact that we already know…

Louis may not have had that much industry clout, but his manager Dave Becky did. It was Becky who warned people off complaining about Louis’s behaviour. Saying CK had no power is like saying a skinny cop has no power over me because I can bench more than him. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s how many…

The word “normal” does an awful lot of heavy lifting in your line of thought. You talk about what’s “normal” as though that’s a universal, morally neutral concept that everyone should agree on. It really, really isn’t. What I think you mean to say is that this is outside your personal experience and/or comfort zone.…

No lie, I kept an old version and I’m still using it. Because not only does it not have ads, it doesn’t even have the *capacity* to one day install them. Yes sir! Now THAT’s a feature they don’t make any more.

“If people actually want to discuss pop culture on a pop culture discussion website, they should take it somewhere else so the trolls don’t have to see it.”

That’s a very strange take, because for the last couple of seasons of Girls, a few dozen trolls would arrive on the comment boards before any of the fans had even had a chance to watch the show. Every week they logged in to hate on a show they didn’t even watch. So if you remember the AVC being an echo chamber of adula…

We went over this when the story broke a few years ago. She touched her sister when *she herself* was a small child. Many little kids do it. It’s gross, but it’s normal, and no, it doesn’t make you a pedophile. Jfc.

Wait, there was a time when hipsters thought the Sex Pistols were cool and Elvis Costello sucked?

The word “artistic” doesn’t only apply to high art, you know. Even bad movies are art.

Eh, Alien 3 is a pretty good standalone film. It’s just not a good third instalment in a trilogy.

I’m not seeing the part where the article said Taylor Swift is great. Or indeed where they offered any opinions about her. They just reported a thing she did without comment. If you somehow saw this as a hypocritical flip from “Taylor is awful” to “Taylor is wonderful” then you’re reading WAY between the lines.

That second option is literally impossible - a BANG is essentially white noise, so there’s no waveform to recognise. (It could have worked on volume, but then any loud noise would have set it off.) A timer is a possibility, but remote control is really the only plausible one.

Maybe. Bill Drummond wrote it up in his book “45". He said it was awful. Boxes of cash don’t burn; they’re too dense. So they had to spend hours unpacking the cash and feeding it into the fire by hand. They’d expected a big jubilant fuck-you blaze of glory; what they actually got was hours of drudgery. It wasn’t…

Yup. I really like Jason Mantzoukas but he seems to end up with these overly broad, turned-up-to-11 characters. His character on The League was way over the top, and that was a very silly show to begin with.

Archer is lousy with jokes most people don’t really have any hope of catching. I did some write-ups of the last season for the Avocado, and found that once you start looking into the references, you quickly realise almost every episode has 4-5 references you probably didn’t get. For example, when Charlotte’s about to…
