A piñata they hung by the neck. And yeah, this is set in South Carolina like Eastbound and Down was, right?

The AV Club should hire you.

"Protagonist" technically means the person whose actions drive the story, or perhaps informally it's whom the story follows. Neal and Lee's plan to drive Belinda out of the school is what's driving the story. They're the protagonists. It's an independent value from heroism, and our critic doesn't seem to understand…

the fact that the show’s protagonists, Russell and Gamby, might not be protagonists after all, and that Dr. Brown, the object of scorn, is perhaps the real hero here.

I don't know why there's this read that says that thinking their over-the-top awfulness is funny, or even pitying them or being interested in them, is the same as rooting for them to destroy Dr. Brown.

Burning down the principal's house was a pretty solid tip to that.

"at least it would then sense make" is truly amazing in this context.

There all is ankovic?

"Frank's 2000 Inch TV" and R.E.M.

Yes!

I'm sure I could have a lot of Steve Smith associations, but the first one that comes to mind is "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" from "News Glance With Genevieve Vavance."

Black Betty reminds me of Kenny Powers riding his jet ski. (And also of the "Fat Betty" parody.)

Uh… which "The Professional" are we taking about?

Upvoted for that "Morning Train" reference because that's mine too. (Well, also with the montage of George working at Play Now!).

Oh, yes, of course.

Biggest surprise omission from this list would probably be "Where Is My Mind?" from Fight Club.

I'm'a'quired to get one!

-In Lindsay Lohan's 2004 hosting episode of SNL, Lohan plays an overly busty version of a 21st century fantasy series character. What character did she play?
Damn it, I've seen this. Hermione?

I can't tell: Dan's advice to PGMN seems to be "your husband is being shitty and ruining your marriage…" but also to, like, wait for him to stop being shitty before doing anything about it? Is anyone else confused by that?
