Disney got used to playing hardball with the press because of the coverage over EPCOT/DisneyWorld, that planned community they built (“Celebration”), and their failed ‘90s Civil War theme park near the Battle of Manassas site. Walt Disney was a control freak, and all the people following him have been shades of that…

The “Ekaterinburg solution” would be good for his entire class.

If it all goes south, these cars will become collectable, like DeLoreans.

Where is Turd Ferguson when we need him?

It’s called “humor”, you may find that you like it, in time.

She works out of the same basement Peter O’Toole was trying to escape from at the beginning of Lawrence of Arabia. Her Fibbie boss was killed at the end of last season. In Army lingo she’s on TDY (temporary duty).

From the show, or just American TV in general?

You want to blame someone or some thing for Tim and Eric? Easy, blame Temple University!

As others in this thread have written, they exist through corporate events, school parties, any event where the food isn’t upscale and you need a lot of it and the chain restaurant can handle the load. Also, dead frigging laziness.

I live in a place where I can drive to the Pacific Ocean in about 20 minutes (on a Sunday when there is no traffic) and I can confirm that there are all the crappy chain seafood joints (Red Lobster, Long John Silvers, etc.) in a area where you can eat sea food while looking at the sea. They only exist inland, and they…

If we were all still outraged at Ghostbusters 2016*, we should be furious about how Papa John’s wound up being product placement in the “film.” And the awful tie-in ad where John Schnatter (who has the face and hair of a washed-up late-’70s light rock performer) delivers pizzas while wearing that movie’s version of…

So it’s the Wal-Mart of pizza.

What if you only eat the local pizza? I’ve eaten national chain Chinese food, hamburgers, and hot dogs from various places, but I rarely eat the national chain pizzas.

The police in America have huge institutional issues that go beyond training and your “hillbillies with god complexes.” The War on Drugs turned them into an occupying army in some cities, SWAT units grew to a point where they were being used to drop off subpoenas, and the DoD gave them as many used M4 rifles, used…

You just described the A.V. Club After Dark (“the AVoCADo”) to a friggin’ T, or at least how it was when I participated with it a year ago. Maybe it got worse.

“Next, Harvey Weinstein’s face will be crushed in this hydraulic press....”

That’s like saying Mexico is part of the United States because of NAFTA. Socialist Czechoslovakia was its own sovereign state and it was part of the Comecon (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) and the Warsaw Pact. When the Soviet military invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 to end Prague Spring it did so in violation…

Without Twitter, a lot of the comedy on Chapo Trap House would vanish because all the national news pundits are on the Little Blue Bird, including Joy Reid, who thinks that Czechoslovakia was part of the Soviet Union.

Trump is going to jail, and Zuccer-former Blob-berg will drop the idea when Bob Mueller’s job is done, because everybody from the Trump campaign will be hanged off the masts of the USS Constitution.

It was liked by stand-up comedians for a while, but the joke theft *cough* Josh “The Fat Jew” Ostrovsky *cough*, the corporate accounts, and trying to break out in that sea of people is just too much for some people. Tom Scharpling (The Best Show, producer on Monk, and occasional voice actor) gave up on Twitter…
