Considering that any animated show has extensive style guides, this couch gag from "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part 2)" is really weird. Marge (minus hair) isn't that much shorter than Homer, and Lisa isn't that much shorter than Bart.

I just did a Sporcle quiz of Marvel characters named "____ the ____", and nearly LOLed when one of them was "Spragg".

Thirty years since the publication of this classic

U Talkin' Talking Heads to My Talking Head?

I just started listening to the Howdies episodes of HDTGM, and the very first clip is "Put her in a bra", which is a lot less fun in a post-Grok era.

"Everyone gets a wristband. Green if you're ready to racially purify America. Yellow if you're not comfortable with the idea and need some convincing."

The "Scott and Paul gradually lose their minds" factor is very high this year. Real mental beef-down.

@brettmorris.bsky.social "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies was a previous Billboard #1 (including yearly #1 for 1969) credited to a fictional band/artist. The Chipmunks' Christmas song was also a hit, but I don't think it reached #1.

1) Using the 'news' section of your media company to advertise your other failing company - super cool 2) Based on how they hype up this capability, I would have assumed this had been done years ago.

This was tough, and would have been impossible if I didn't listen to Who Charted every week.

The opening of CBB Best-of part 3 reminds me that "The Look" by Roxette should be an honorary Wet Day anthem, because it has the wettest snare you will ever hear in your life.

If your kid is young enough to get fooled by AI images of their missing stuffed animal going on adventures, you really don't need to do one on the moon to explain why it's gone for two weeks.

ESPN/Disney's Dunk the Halls broadcast is having all sorts of technical difficulties, and they're blaming it on Stitch for causing chaos. Ultimately, I blame Zach Galifianakis since Stitch is only there because of his craven need for a hit.

@jeskeets.bsky.social Rough first half for Dunk the Halls! 😂

We are so back.

Line from CBB Best Of Part 1 that made me laugh the hardest - "He's a life-long criminal, a bug-eyed creep!" #ganz

Today's Strands theme hint might as well have been, "I don't know, literally anything".

Tbh the most realistic interpretation of the commercial is that the people using the AI have never seen a book IRL

Is this an episode of U Springin' Springsteen on My Bean?

@thetransferflow.bsky.social You guys write about the Spurs midfield's lack of ball progression a lot, but Bentancur hitting a shot that literally travels backwards feel a bit too on the nose.

Mild spoiler for today's Wordle - "Hey, remember that one time we did a seasonal themed word, and everyone hated it? Here's a much worse version of that."

Who is your favorite player to have played exactly one match during the duration of your minority ownership stake in LFC?

Scott unearthing four separate Helen Mirren quotes about Kurt Cobain not experiencing modern technology is peak Threedom.

When Grayson Allen commits a flagrant foul

@thepressbox.bsky.social On the NBA Cup quarterfinal on Prime, Eric Collins is trying to coin "Tony Orlando" as a nickname for Anthony Black of the Magic. This feels like a corollary to the Sliding Doors phenomenon, i.e. a reference that no one in the audience will get.

You just know something good is coming after this.

I would've gone with "The orangest of balls".

Was this program description written by Chief?

I have absolutely no memory of this Bob's Burgers episode, but this B story is so good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL1t...

I don't believe in Simulation Theory, but this is the second straight day I've listened to a podcast that discussed all the famous people named Woody, so who the fuck knows.

If you have a podcast, you have to post proof that at least three people listened to it a lot this year, it's the law.

I can't help but wonder if "one of our top players" just means I've played every day for a long time, or that I'm actually good (and if so, how good).

I almost made it to December without seeing the Corona Feliz Navidad commercial, which was cute for about two years and incredibly grating for the multiple decades since.

The most annoying thing about sports increasingly moving to streaming is that I fall asleep watching games and then shows that auto-play when they end get put in my "Continue Watching" section.

A Man on the Inside gets my highest recommendation if you want to see two of the greatest comedy performers of all time talk about a guinea pig diaper.

"Friday afternoon" feels like just about the worst possible answer to "When will your upstairs neighbors come back from being away for Thanksgiving?"

Everyone, during fall: Leaf blowers are the scourge of humanity. Property managers, during winter: Our staff should use leaf blowers instead of snow shovels.

Is it just me or is this antithetical to everything QT supposedly stands for?

@brettmorris.bsky.social @howardkremer.bsky.social You guys talked about various streaming platforms using AI or not...Just within the last week or so, iHeart podcasts added "Guaranteed Human" to their opening sting.

This "servings per container" might be the funniest thing I've ever seen on a label. Guess the product! (Part of serving size redacted)

Some incredible shit in the opening segment of this week's Neighborhood Listen that the transcription absolutely does not capture.
