Gaiman's the biggest recent fall, but there's a special flavour to the feelings I have as a fan of Newsradio, a sitcom with an episode that doesn't only have Joe Rogan and Andy Dick but Scott Dilbert Adams.

Why is that marine riding the leopard the wrong way around? Was that not covered in basic training? Yet another fuck-up by America.

Pagliacci ends with a stack of bodies. Who would deny the stress relief of dead clowns?

The war ads bring me so much joy, and take away so much hope.

Thank you for keeping the culture alive. You're welcome/I'm sorry for the war ad riffs, they're a gravity well I can't escape.

Welcome to the cult. The episode I'm editing has a joke I'm very proud of that will also destroy my career.

Harder question? The Spectre, but don’t get me started on that.
