Tony Macaroni looks like the early favorite over on the Earwolf forums, and deservedly so in my opinion. I'm not sure if this was CBB's best year, but there were certainly way more than 10 great episodes from which to choose.

Don't forget Tired Lady: *yawn*

I think at a certain point he felt burned by all the Oscar snubs (three if you count Man on the Moon, which garnered some serious Oscar buzz for him at the time) and just kind of gave up on the idea of being a "legitimate" actor. It really is too bad, given the dramatic chops he's demonstrated at his best, but I think…

I could never bring myself to see that one, but The Majestic has always had a similar serious, self-important vibe to me.

Maybe I'm just crass, but aren't they filming the wrong half of this whole process? I would definitely tune in to see this guy digested and shit out by a snake.

Look, if we're going to talk about this, I NEED you to calm down.

It was Popular Culture and American Politics, so it was sort of par for the course (pun sort of intended?). We mostly discussed how films and TV about politics affect and/or reflect the US political culture, but he somehow made plenty of time for tangents about stuff like this. Even for this professor, though, the…

I once had a political science professor who theorized that Sesame Street was part of a mass conspiracy by the television industry to brainwash kids into thinking that learning should always be colorful and entertaining, thus leading to a dependence on their product and explaining why us kids today were so terrible at…

I get what you're saying, and don't wish to belittle the difficulties women surely face when entering a male-dominated profession. Your suggestion that men who don't find this funny lack empathy is a bit harder to swallow, but I would think it's true for at least a few of the commenters here.

I didn't mean it in any violent or threatening sense, just to be clear. I was referring to perceived undertones of non-comedic hostility, if anything.

I've never experienced such a strange mixture of agreeing with the point someone's making and yet being so put off by the way that point is made. The jokes are tinged with so much seeming aggression that it's more discomfiting than entertaining or even didactic. If that was the point, then I guess this was a success.

He can grate on me a bit when he's on as himself (i.e. Pepper Men), but the guy's some kind of mad genius when it comes to character work. Mall McCartney may be the greatest of all CBB's one-off characters.

I sincerely hope they keep adding onto Tiny's post-Plug Bag affirmations until the end of the song is as long as the Would You Rather? theme.

Is this an episode of Great Bits?

If I understand her point correctly (and I very well may not), making it seem like a single monkey was capable of all of the mayhem that occurred in the film would make monkeys seem more dangerous, thus hurting the public perception of them and maybe leading to more animal mistreatment.

Is this that cynicism I keep hearing about? Can't wait, seems fun.

And so the show I loved as a child continues to be dragged along by its parent company like a decaying (but still profitable) corpse. Hooray.

I have Alton Brown's autograph on a cookbook…

The only bummer is that Benny Schwaz is ALWAYS in there at the counter singing Little Shop of Horrors songs.

Now that the TV season is essentially over, could we get one person to regularly cover CBB? It's interesting to hear different perspectives on a show that I really like, but the rotating panel of reviewers seems to lead to most of the reviews being encapsulations of the writer's general feelings on the show rather…
