I just watched TS3 with my small children and my old, lazy dog.  So I had the same “oh shit I’m gonna cry at a cartoon today” feeling.

I dunno, Pitchfork reached basically the same conclusion.

I think they explained that Alvin’s parents (his dad was Herman’s brother) both died before the show begins, but I don’t believe the show describes how.

I can confirm not only the translation, but that this was a commonly used Yiddish phrase. My gramma taught it to me when I was a kid, and I was delighted to see it in this episode.

That’s one of my favorite SNL skits of recent times.

And also the Tralfamadorians (and Billy Pilgrim) in Slaughterhouse Five!

Is it too on the nose to say this is a real Trojan Horse of a show?  Yes?  Ok.  But I know more than one person who had to stop watching at some point because the emotional toll was too high.  We’re talking about a comedic cartoon about a talking horse who is sad.  It just so happens to be an emotional tour de force.

The Ugly Organ is the best album of the emo era. Change my mind.

Meet me in St. Louis.  We’ll have some toasted ravioli and Imo’s pizza.

An episode that featured a powerhouse Bowie cover plus peak Hall & Oates, no less.

Is this a place where we can congratulate G/O Media for alienating the content creators who made Deadspin a successful, economically viable property, thus destroying all of the value of the entity they acquired?  If so, kudos to you, G/O Media!  Shower yourselves with lavish bonuses this quarter for a job well done!

You missed the best part, which is that his initial offer to the neighbor was $5, a price which probably wouldn’t even cover the raw cost of the food.

I’ll keep it short and sweet.  Fuck you, G/O Media, for buying and swiftly killing one of the best and most respected sites on the internet.

You almost have to suspect they named these characters Tom and Greg just to someday be able to deliver that Tomlette line.  It’s just that perfect.

Runnin’ through the house with a pickle in my mouth!

How is that fuckstick out of the greys?

Me too.  TFW.

The team owners, architects, and local politicians should start lining up the plans and funding to build the new Ballpark at Globe Life Ballpark in 2044.

Kinda?  GTFO.
