But then it would fool you into thinking it was actually funny.

What do you mean Xanadu's not pretend?!?!?

It's also a postmodernist deconstruction of the IDEA of "MTV".

Or simply do a one-off joke article - dragging out a "pointless" feature over two weeks is overkill. It's a joke without context, and as you mentioned, a lot of baggage. I'm going to momentarily fantasize that Todd got fired given that Tournament of Episodes was apparently his idea.

I blame this whole debacle on the site redesign and NuDisqus.

This is what happens when people root their identities in television shows.

Sitting on a curb waiting for a bus = sitting on a curb waiting for a van. These two episodes are virtually identical.

I think a more relevant question to ask yourself would be: "How can I be human garbage when everyone treats me like a human trash bin?"

Yeah, Vee is hilarious.

So:

Kinda like how the readers are elevating other AV Club features above this one.

These murders are making me thirsty!

Because that's how we do it in free markets.

Except that's not the case at all with this feature.

Or, because they've already written about the contenders, they'll simply name the episodes and bark the outcome like a referee.

When you have the right bovine and wine pairing.

I've seen both and I was thinking Gremlins.

All I can decipher is "homotaio", "bawitdaba", "hahaflex" and "omnihax".

So we're in general agreement that this tournament is worthless filler, yet here we are, galvanized by our discontent.

Folo!
