Look at the bright side: it also gave you the cheap thrill of having something to bitch about, without the frustration and difficulty of having to make anything creative of your own!

You seem to have mistaken AVClub for the US News and World Report again. You see, AVClub is a media site, and it tends to report on entertainment topics which incl… listen, it's complicated.

I knew I couldn't get through this entire comments section without seeing *somebody* whine.

Maybe once your time-out is over and you finish your juice, you can get your mom to put Bubble Guppies on for you. Now tell all the nice grown-ups you're sorry for your tantrum.

Yeah, I mean, I have to admit I'm digging the "new premise and genre every season" schtick and hope it inspires other shows to take similar risks, but the show's starting to dodder in its old age.

No, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who would've been happy to see it go out while it's still fairly strong. I've never been one of those people who thinks their favorite shows need to run for all eternity or it's some big tragedy.

I have never seen a single AV commenter willfully sacrifice so much of my sympathy during the course of a single thread. I actually agreed with you when you started, but now I'm just kind of marveling at your ill-focused tenacity. I don't even know you, but I suspect this whole ridiculous gnat-straining thread was…

I'm starting to get the impression that none of these Edgy Young Critics are going to be happy until you bring in Charles Burns or Peter Bagge.

Was there even nudity in the actual furry comics on AVClub? I think you might be getting this confused with your own late-night fantasies, darlin'.

I imagine a chicken sitting in a boiler room somewhere with a gun to its head, nervously typing the above. It's more fun than envisioning a mere human who took this article way, way too seriously.

Well, that's been settled! Thanks for the rousing and insightful debate!

Die Hoser, Die. It's German for "The Hoser, The."

A friend of mine referred me to this quote after I showed them this exchange. I think it's worth repeating here:

There's something "infantile" about feeling affection for adorable things? What a tragic attitude to live your life with (though the Octorok, if anything, redeems you).
