Lol, nope.

I don’t think comedy has ever been that. Instead it’s about what’s funny.

The Practice focused on those types of issues a lot, particularly in its earlier seasons.

Are alt-right guys really going around saluting each other with 3 fingers or the A-ok sign? Where is the information about these hand gestures as white power signifiers coming from? Everytime I see a story about this kind of stuff it feels like the leftist version of pizza parlor basements and adrenochrome? I really…

Fuck that. I’ve used sign-language at work, and at a distance (especially with coworkers who have poor eyesight), a thumbs-up could easily be misconstrued as “GOOD!,” “ONE!”, or “FUCK YOU!”

I agree about the idea of Andy taking Woody with him to college. The ending made me tear up but another part of me was thinking, “This nearly adult man is way too attached to these toys.”

And people still say “gypped” all the time. Very few people know that “gypsy” and “gypped” refer to an actual group of real people.

It’s MORE than possible he is unaware of a fake urban legend from 4chan about what the OK gesture “means”. This is ludicrous bullshit that tarnishes liberalism daily.

You realize that the entire point of white supremacists trying to co-opt that gesture was to make fun of idiots who will get offended at literally anything, right?

1). The dude seems to have unequivocally denied it. Unless there’s other evidence beyond “he also said an ignorant thing about Roma people” I don’t know how you can justify this level of outrage.

Do we think Steph Curry is a secret Three Percenter too?!?!?!?!

He did absolutely nothing wrong and neither he nor anyone else involved with the show has anything to apologise for.  It’s honestly disgusting the way outrage mongers  bully and shame people for trivial nonsense that exists only in their own pathetic imaginations.

And played by Kevin Spacey no less.  Talk about irony.

There are dozens if not hundreds of well-liked and/or “impactful” movies where I doubt most people could name a character in them. 

This itself might come across a little snarky, but most longtime AVC readers looooooooooove Nathan Rabin and The Dissolve, and it’s Rabin’s FORGOTBUSTERS column at the Dissolve (which to be clear, I read religiously) that really went in hard on Avatar as a movie with “no impact,” as the indistinct Twitter criticism…

The difference between AVC’s longer, recurring features and its shorter, snarkier news articles is night and day.

This might be the first column on AV Club in a decade that didn’t simply snark on Avatar as a forgotten blockbuster. And it’s a spot on assessment of the film, what it gets right and its flaws.

There’s two reasons it was fun to dunk an Avatar;

I didn’t understand the obsession with shoes in the 90s when Jordans were first a thing, and I don’t get it now.

Tony Scott directed True Romance, Oliver Stone directed Natural Born Killers, for fucks’ sake.
