I felt very old when the words “An SNL Digital Short” did not elicit a cheer from the studio audience. They didn’t know that meant Lonely Island.

Who decides which Delta flight cabins will cook eggs and which will elicit frostbite? Captain’s choice? The crew? The person unlucky enough to be seated by the toilets? [edit: flight, not fight…cold fingers]

It really is that simple. I feel like 99.9% of the time the people who say this shit are bigoted as hell and they know they’re bigoted as hell and they don’t want to have to explain their hate to their child. Much in the same way making them explain a bigoted joke with elicit extreme discomfort.

This “study” is little more than an infographic, lacks randomization, meaningful controls, a methods section and even axes on the plots. It requires you surrender your email address to Uplevel to access. There are rigorous ways to address these questions. But this is a gimmick to elicit chatter

And, last but not least, here's the entry in my "25 Best Movie Supervillains" list about Heath Ledger's Joker: archive.is/sPrmy

There was a time, not so long ago, when people generally didn’t want to be the Joker. He was the most iconic villain for superhero fiction’s most iconic hero, but he was, at most, someone you might dress up as for Halloween. Then, along came Heath. The late Heath Ledger didn’t just turn in a world-class performance as the Clown Prince of Crime in The Dark Knight (still the only superhero-movie performance to win an Oscar). He changed popular culture. Before the film’s 2008 release, the average person might know who the Joker was; after it, people started carrying the tortured misanthrope around as a perverse patron saint. Before, there were a few memorable Jack Nicholson–era lines associated with the character; after, devotees — many of them otherwise non-geeky — started quoting his dialogue like Maoists reciting from the Little Red Book. There are folks who build their whole life philosophies around the guy now, for better or (usually) for worse. Which leaves us with a question: Why s
And as for Ledger, well, what can you say that hasn’t already been said? The man took all of those aforementioned elements and added in a mixture of menace and humor the likes of which is rarely seen in any genre. I vividly recall how my opening-night crowd nearly vomited with shock at the pencil trick, then burst out in awed laughter just two minutes later when one of the mobsters asks him, “You think you can just steal from us and walk away?” and the bomb-wielding Joker deadpans, “Yeah.” How on earth can an actor elicit those two responses in such close proximity — and in that order? Words fail. Perhaps the most important lesson to be gleaned from this list is that — as mundane as this statement may be — the Joker is still the greatest supervillain in the canon. He ostensibly has no superpowers, but as comics writer Grant Morrison noted in Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, he possesses a kind of deranged “super-sanity”: He has few of the filters the rest of us use to m

I have nowhere near Marie’s follower count on either platform, and I’m a guy, but I have enough to regularly get replies that elicit instant eye roll. Can only imagine the effect of that x10.

Someday seeing a CYBERTRUCK in the wild will not immediately elicit peals of laughter, but this is not that day.
