The danger associated with allowing a sleeping toddler driving a toy car does not enrage me as much as the fact that this was recorded vertically. Please turn the camera, parents.

Oh, “a portion of proceeds will benefit a charity organized to bring awareness to cyber bullying.” So perfect. So so perfect.

Yes, it definitely dawned on me last night that he is really not a good guy. All the past cheating and lying about his identity and the basically assault of Bobbie Barrett (remember when he shoved his hand up her skirt?) didn’t really sink in until this episode. Maybe because it was coupled with Peggy’s obvious disapproval of how he treated Ted? So it just got called out more. I don’t know. I’m going to have trouble rooting for him going forward.

Agree. Agree. Agree. Also, I think a little bit of my confusion about this is that it’s being marketed to children and why would a child care if her boobs are bigger? Were children really saying, “I could love this movie, but only if the main character had a bigger rack.”?? I don’t understand where the need for the makeover came from, I guess.

Yes! Why is there never enough Donna on that show??

Gabe, it seems like you could easily get in touch with “his people” and ask him if he wants to get coffee and talk all on your own. “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Johnny Knoxville

I’d really love to know the original source of that quote… I imagine Katie Couric having a throw pillow with “‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.’ – Anonymous” embroidered on it. It would look nice propped up on the other chair that she sits across from on the Katie show. Then when guests arrive, they could just hold it on their laps for the whole interview.

Is there a Public Group Stunt that involves giving out fistfuls of $100 bills? Because I would be ok with my routine being disrupted for something like that.

Let me tell you something, it’s every coach’s dream to experience the highest level of idiocy that his team can muster and gentlemen, collectively us coaches, we are living a dream.

I was kind of bummed that they went the “fake suicide” route with Jack’s character… I don’t know. I liked most of the episode, but when that was introduced, I got really disappointed. Leading someone to believe you are going to commit suicide is just not funny a funny concept. No matter if it’s Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin and it’s my favorite show in the world.

Agreed! No one was smoking in the mall??? How is this supposed to be the 80s? I hope they get it together for future episodes.

Are you recapping this every week??!?!!?!? (Please say yes!)

The Feud is a particularly good place for game show blunders because of the demanded quick response. Every single episode nets at least one gem, I’m sure of it.

I saw Cortney on Conan last night. She did not mention this pee story, but I might not have noticed because I was really distracted by her face… the fillers or whatever she’s injected in there… yikes. She looks nothing like the Monica Gellar of 1995.

It was on dateline the other night! I watched it (and the whole time I was imagining Gabe writing something about it). It was absolutely perfect. When he finished, “…extra came out,” the interviewer then clarified and said, “You pooped your pants?” And he repeated, “I pooped my pants.” So it was double verified.

Yes, I believe that as I read this I actually aged prematurely.

Dear Mindy,

I really want to root for you, but I’m going to need you to stop making it so difficult.

Very truly yours,

Ugh, one more reason to change the channel to CBS This Morning. Just kidding. I didn’t need another reason because Charlie Rose is my reason. I would choose him over Matt any day of the week.

But good for Anne. Good for Kelly for posting this.

Yes! Gerry & Gayle Gergich is perfect for them.

That was a reference to Christie Brinkley… and was supposed to be a reply to truckasaurus.

Did she call him Gerry or Garry? I honestly did not notice.

That’s a Coach Taylor answer if I ever heard one.

 +3Posted on Nov 27th, 2012 | re: Fuck This Elevator Prank! (39 comments)

Same here. Like, uncontrollable, pee my pants laughter, but I would have peed my pants for a different reason had I been in that elevator.

 +10Posted on Nov 15th, 2012 | re: Guy Fieri Responds To Review On Today (41 comments)

The reviewer is not lying about the fact that something at that restaurant is actually called “Donkey Sauce” right? So, I’m confused as to what this alleged agenda could be out for…

 +6Posted on Nov 14th, 2012 | re: What's Your Celebrity Alias? (31 comments)

That sounds like fun! I would also like some “Gwen Van der Fox” business cards, if you can hook me up. Before we start though, what does JC stand for? Or is it just two cool initials that look cool together?
