I’m surprised to see a review this favorable. I thought it was kind of abysmal — show started at 11:00, and by 11:08 all the comedy bits were done (which included a shortened monologue and a shortened comedy bit). On the old show, monologue + bits took up around twice as much time. Many of the best Conan bits are as…

I think The Rabbit of Seville introduced everyone to Opera

Gregg was blindsided by the news.

I’ll never understand why so many people here get up in arms about this.

A Miami resident leaves temple early so he doesn’t miss out on a great deal?

Yeah, a framed printout of a digital ticket that is 70% ads and 5% barcode is definitely the same thing as having a physical ticket as a souvenir.  Sure thing. 

Mazeroski is the perfect example of the point in the main post about the definition of fame and telling a story. Yes, Mazeroski was not a great hitter (his career OPS+ is below 100), but he was the best defensive secondbaseman of his generation and may be the best defensive 2B of all time (he’s the career leader in…

David Byrne, hands down. That show belongs in a museum.

My wife and I put this album on loop on Spotify the day it came out (yes I am going to actually buy it now), and I’m still not completely sure. “Spacious” is right, the production is a lot sparser than the other album we have (“Robyn”, which I adore)... it somehow sounds a little more sugary in a way I don’t totally…

If you have medicaid you are barred from having more than one doctor’s visit a day.  I mean, unless you feel like paying out of pocket.  Which if you could do you wouldn’t be on medicaid. 

One time I was at the merch stand and I wanted to try on a shirt. So, in front of God and everyone, I took my other shirt OFF and was about to try on the new one when the cashier was like WHOA WHOA WHOA YOU CAN’T DO THAT. Honestly, he probably should have arrested me for it. Anyway I love band T-shirts even though…

Black Cow can refer to either:

I refuse to watch Weekend at Bernie’s II on principle because it is a Gene pick, and Gene is garbage.

Saw it last week and I’m a big space movie nerd and this film still showed me something I’ve never seen before.  Kudos to Chazelle.  Go see this on the biggest ranking screen you can find.

What’s the difference if it’s him riding up the elevator or you?

This list is invalidated by the absence of the Happy Happy Joy Joy song.

The only thing bigger than the amount of classic Conan clips that could have been included in this list is the amount of people lining up on premiere night for the smash hit holiday classic JINGLE ALL THE VAAAAAAAAAY

This whole bit is gold but the “Inappropriate Response Channel” is one of the best things ever made in human history.
