In a greatest cast member list, I’d rank Pete Davidson below Carvey, Murphy, Hartman and Ferrell. And also below Armisen, Aykroyd, Banks, Bayer, Belushi, Belushi, Bennett, Breuer, Brittain, Brown, Bryant, Cahill, Chase, Che, Cleghorne, Coe, Crystal, Curtin, Cusack, Davis, Day, Dillon Downey, Downey Jr., Doyle-Murray,

The Cleopatra sketch wasn't great, but "World War II: Lost in New York" was my favorite joke of the night. 

Now playing

He also did The Adventures of Mark Twain, based on some of Twain’s short stories. It has one of the creepiest scenes ever put to clay - The Mysterious Stranger.

Egypt Air: Missus Drew Barry More, what is favorite airline flight company?

I wouldn’t say PG-13 is particularly the problem (though going harder on the horror stuff would certainly be a choice). I loved The Wolverine, which is PG-13.

Hot take: comics were kind of stupid in the 1990s.

Love to see an obit of a great artist that doesn’t show off any of the artist’s work.

God, do I hate when news sites take something like this and run with it as any kind of story. Snyder says “Of course,” but I will bet dollars to donuts that nothing made it past the idea stage on that front. Plus, we don’t know what sequel he’s talking about? Justice League 2? 3? 5?

And in “MST3K: The Movie”, there’s a scene where they show an aerial shot of a secret base with planes and equipment scattered about and then one of the robots breaks out with “When in Chicago, be sure to visit the Museum of Science and Industry!”.  I’m from Wisconsin originally too, but living around Madison, we used

One that especially tickled me in the new MST3k was “Oh, it’s the Edema Ruh!” from The Loves of Hercules. Especially when I found out Patrick Rothruss was actually on the show’s writing staff, so that could well have been him putting in a reference to his own book.

A whole mess of MST3000's jokes are obscure pop-culture references. And the most obscure of them come from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, Minnesota, and Wisconsin in general. It’s fun to finally learn, 20+ years later, what they’re talking about when they said, “Ride de dooks.”

Not really the same thing, but the Airplane reference reminded me of the time at my first job when they had received a fax (yes, it was that long ago) that had been garbled in transmission. I walked into the office and the manager pulled it off the fax machine, handed it to me, and said, “What can you make of this?”

One of my all time favs goes, unsurprisingly, to The Simpsons:
“Come on Homer, you enjoy Japanese culture. You liked Rashomon.”
“That’s not the way I remember it.”

It’s not complicated—you can explain the joke in about five seconds to someone who hasn’t seen the movie—but if you have, it’s just instantly hilarious.

Kline in Wanda is maybe the best comedic performance of all time. I’m really struggling to think of anything that compares — maybe Cary Grant in his 30s screwballs? But those seem more about persona than performance. Otto is not only really funny, but an oddly believable character, and most comedic performances tilt

So happy to see Adam Scott back. I don’t feel like his absence hurt last season at all but I did find myself occasionally wondering if they were going to pick his character back up at some point.

This dude (arguably) came within a whisker of becoming the Canadian Trump. He put on a well-financed (duh) run for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (kind-of sort-of our Republican party) on a “look at me, I’m a rich businessman who isn’t afraid to talk like an asshole and by the way you might remember me

Well if Reddit user PhobetorWorse says so then it must be true.

“Hi, we’re the Fantastic Four.”

Here’s some bits of comic you can’t understand! NOW BUY IT!”

I thought we agreed he beat off in the shower.
