My entirely supportive and not at all abusive spouse isn't a fan of the show.

I never saw the appeal of that show, but my former domestic abuser was a big fan.

I think I first encountered Ricky Gervais' work in those YouTube videos which took clips of his podcast and animated them as cartoons. They were being passed around like the best thing ever for a minute or two back in the day, and I watched a bunch and didn't get why it was supposed to be funny that two guys were being assholes at a third guy over and over.

Catcher in the Rye was always an unforgivable whiney crap-mound of a book. Its notoriety is based on its banning, and the larger issue of whether people should be allowed to read books with swears, misanthropes, and sexual references in them, but there are and were so many better books featuring those things out there.

Family Guy is a fascinating case of a crappy show insisting upon itself so hard that it successfully got itself uncancelled and forced into pop culture as a zombie endlessly repeating itself on the level of its inspiration and closest rival The Simpsons.

I also loathe Grease but its general appeal is pretty easy to explain: it came out in the 1970s as a rose-tinted nostalgia piece for white middle-class boomers who grew up in the 1950s and, as so many people of all ages do, idealized their childhood era as when things were so cool and simple. (Spoiler to folks of all eras: things weren't actually any simpler when you were young, you were just shielded from more of the bullshit than you are now.) It was the same nostalgia that fueled the runaway success of Happy Days on TV in that era, though at least that show managed to be a functional sitcom with more substance to it than the empty-headed misogyny-flavored story of Grease.

"Stevie" is used as a diminutive form of the feminine name "Stephanie." This is how Stevie Nicks uses it.

The bowtie is made of a reflective safety material, and that second panel was taken at the moment a car drove by with its headlights at just the correct angle to reflect into the camera.

Friends is worse for people who prefer Seinfeld, while Seinfeld is worse for people who prefer Friends.

Mystery solved. No need to thank me, everyone, it's all in a day's work.

Very sad news. He'll be missed.

That series was seriously one of the cleverest uses of a janky old IP ever accomplished in any medium. It was so damned good.

Not shown: Katharyn Powers' episode of Friends in which Phoebe and Rachel are forced to fight to the death to please Chandler.

1949 was right in the middle of what historians refer to as the Golden Age of the Doughy Guy.

"What more do you need?"

But will he be okay?

What you say !!

For those unfamiliar, just prior to this he fell off said rock and would have died if his friend hadn't caught him using sci-fi jet boots which don't exist in real life.

It's kind of her to share her cigarette with the zit on her shoulder.
