The Dawes of comedy, as one commenter put it.

Tobacco is definitely John's orientation.

The war on terror metaphor was brick-subtle and, having developed essentially limitless teleportation in his first Trek movie (why do they need spaceships again?) Abrams introduces a cure for death in his second. Yet it's so well shot and well cast that it just feels like a waste more than a straight disaster.

What would it hate to end the Hatesong feature? Would a Kickstarter do it? It's not evil, just obvious and irrelevant.

Got it. In person he's funny, he's "on," and maybe he could have made something of that honestly. Did you find him to be of low character?

"Teletubbies come to play."

I foresee dozens of blogs declaring it a victory for feminism and a movie poster that has been Photoshopped within an inch of its life.

The best Canadian accent in Wheels Ontario, hands down. Sorry for earlier typo - fat fingers AND head.

"Youuuu … you have a leaky foundation …"

We can love him and still think he belongs on a Gerbers jar. Holy s—t, how much would that sell? One-month special, Richter on the baby-food jar! Someone get me a phone! (falls asleep again inside jail cell)

Harmon's precursor to Acceptable TV, Channel 101, featured Call Me Cobra, with a setup similar to Andy Barker but starring Drew Carey. They're both good!
