Thanks for the recommendation. That might be the strangest Wikipdia article on a US county that I have ever read... and for some reason, I've read too many.

Personally this is why I find the newer Simpsons terrible. Gotta drive that joke into the ground and make it Perfectly clear what the joke is, to Hell with any nuance or sarcasm to the joke. Can’t Let Any Of The Jokes Go Over The Audience’s Heads.

I’m sorry, did you say something? I can’t hear over the sound of the hysterical laughter of MILLIONS of people at...whatever the fuck this is supposed to be...

While I love the attention classic Simpsons get, I also hate it. Like, a joke is a joke, we don’t need a damn think piece on every single one. John Lennon would have a few things to say about this phenomenon 

I’ve loved the towel joke forever, and I’ve never thought of the towel on head angle. I think it’s funny that Homer is announcing how unprofessional he is for absolutely no reason. To me, it’s less funny for him to reference an obscure image of a woman with a towel on her head. That’s somehow _more_ random than him…

BECAUSE EVERY CAR WOULD HAVE IT

‘i’m a viking at sleeping’

Fans of Tiny Toons will remember there was one gag credit that changed with every episode. In one episode, they did a little music video for The Name Game. The fake credit for that episode says, “Intentionally omitted from The Name Game: Plucky”

It’s crazy how people miss the point of some classic lines - like Mr Burn’s “Shiny new donkey speech”; it’s so wacky and out of context that it has to be a non-sequitor and so there is not any real explanation for what he’s saying. he’s just saying some weird ass dictator shit becuase he’s usually that far out of…

I’ve mentioned here before that it was a good decade later that I realized that Young Ned was about to say “Take that, Dickface!” in “Hurricane Neddy” when he’s terrorizing the other kids. EDIT: Looking at the clip again just now, going by the YouTube comments, I apparently wasn’t the only one.

The fact that the argument over escalators is the most ‘popular’ post is pretty much peak AV Club...

My grandmother was born in the rural south of the 20s, and had never seen an escalator until we took her to a mall in the early 90s.  To boot she wasn’t the most ambulatory in her later years, and she got one foot on the contraption and just froze.  Teen me had to think quick and pick her off her feet and put her on…

That would mean they were carrying ladders with them when they dug in.

I was in Las Vegas once and I experienced watching an entire family being baffled on how to use an escalator. That was around 2010

“I also like to think that Steve never had a chance to see an escalator in the 1900's due to that whole World War one thing he was busy with.”

It was just recently (befoire pandemic times) that I was at BWI. and saw an old dude from Central America terrified of the escalator, and his family was trying to gently coax him onto it.

Why is Superman holding his chin in his hand?!

Gotta say, between these second-wave WW84 reviews and the good-not-great response to “Soul” thus far, the masses (i.e. those not interested in arthouse titles) may not have missed much by not being able to go to theaters this year. Have any of the would-be blockbuster tentpoles that have come down the cord — “Artemis…

I do agree with this article. I realized the movie is flawed, although I’m still enjoying it tremendously.

Some mild spoilers... Agree with all of this. I have no problem with 2 1/2 hour superhero films in theory - Infinity War was that long and was fantastic - but this could easily have lost half an hour. The first two hours have a weirdly sluggish pace and not much action - and the action that’s there is a bit dull (some…
