So the gag was basically that you went to a hog roast, which is where hogs are roasted, and were served hog, smoked, which is not roasted.  But a roast is also a term for a type of comedian gathering at which a celebrity who is being celebrated sits and is insulted about their life.  Also I have COVID and was super…

I recently had to give up sugar, and basically quickly realized when I did that ketchup is just vinegar/sugar/salt sauce, that there are a LOT of those sauces, and that we’ve sort of arbitrarily assigned some of them as either classy or cheap.  I miss them all about equally.

Wait, so was it smoked or roasted? Or wait, it was a smoked hog and then you spent 90 minutes telling jokes about it’s career failures and tiny dick.

Runner up moment for me still feels like it had to be an extremely dry joke, it was Hollywood telling some contest making an ice cream cake thing that he thought peanut butter and grape jelly sounded like a dodgy, untested combination that wouldn’t pay off.

One of my favorite head slap moments in show history is when the challenge was “Make an American style pie” and it immediately cut to Paul in confessional format saying “What the contestants don’t know is I hate American pies and think they’re trash so if they want to win this they’ll need to make a proper British…

You know what?  You’re absolutely right.

My favorite bit was when Giulani admitted he lied about those two in court, then ran full tilt to social media to claim he didn’t admit to anything.  Really just put it in full view that he’ll say whatever as long as he’s not currently in a court.

I know how lawsuits work but I really wish they worked different so they didn’t have to include so many adjectives. Like instead of saying “This event gave me emotional troubles, depression, shock, paranoia, anxiety, hot flashes, and light to medium despondence” it could just be “This event got me struck by goddamn…

BG3 is doing some of that a little too. Tell anyone from Baldur’s Gate that you’re also from there and they’ll immediately be all “Well... whattaya know... guess we ran in different circles. Let’s be done with that conversation, okay?”

Given that Dahl did modify his work (he changed the Oompa-Loompas to match the 1971 movie instead of just straight up being African pygmies, in 1973) that sort of seems like a slight. I guess maybe Anderson didn’t know?

I’ll be honest, I figured this was a standard AV Club typo, not a correctly quoted line from a Greek speaking dude.

She understood “that was needed”? Not “what was needed”?  Both are functional sentences but one makes it sound like the director was worried that Stone would be too silly to realize how imperative her getting her tits out post-haste was.

Ooh I can help. You got it from a tired, weary old joke about how MTV doesn’t play music videos anymore that has now been around longer than the actual time that MTV played music videos.

I assume that’s Yoda talking about them too?  Fine, he’s old as hell.  He can be a space grandpa going on about the jedi equivalent of fast-twitch muscles.  He’s already dead anyway, we can kill those darlings.

The reason he doesn’t just retire is the same as Feinstein, both sides have so thoroughly weaponized the standards of Senatorial process that if they retire, the other team can ram stuff through or make or start blocking committee assignments.  This would be a perfect time for the two to agree to retire at once, just…

Qui-Gon died before he could use that thing twice, and market testing showed that everyone hated midichlorians so they barely mention them after that, leaving him as the only Jedi who canonically ever gave a shit about them. Which means there’s still a path to fixing their existing by saying Qui-Gon was just a stuffy…

She looks like the cartoon, which is neat!  But the cartoon was very minimalist in look and so while everyone else is textured and has dirt and wear on their clothes, she looks like she bought herself a Hera Syndulla costume this morning.

Yeah, I wish people would quit trying to make Grey Jedi happen.  24 really wrecked a lot of brains.  It’s not super awesome and badass if your Jedi can shoot a little force lightning as a treat.  The whole point of the Force and the Dark Side (there’s no such thing as the Light Side in the canon, just the force and…

He’s a vat grown clone of Ezra, that has been altered with Sith alchemy to be faster, stronger, more force-sensitive, and tougher than his unwilling genetic progenitor.  In fact in all ways, he’s Better Than Ezra.

“It’s so popular we’re actually going to allow it be aired, at least the first five episodes, before canceling and deleting it for tax writeoffs!”
