2.  Dammit, why do I always have to ask Mr. Noodle? That retarded mime never knows jack shit!

3.  Mr. Noodle, why do you dress so nattily, have a mustache, and live with your "brother," Mr. Noodle?  What are you, French?

4.  I swear, Shade, if you screw with me one more time, it's curtains for you.

1.  Anakin, in his initiation test for the Dark Side, eviscerates Jar Jar, slices off his tongue, and waves it around in a drunken victory dance (not that wouldn't like to see that anyway, hint hint).

2.  Time-traveling Jedi Silent Bob embarks on a secret mission into the future, to a galaxy far, far away, and stops Kevin Smith from making any movies after Clerks.

1.  Samuel Adams Light.  We suspected a slippery slope when the faux-techno, mild T & A commercials started, and the Ben Affleck ad campaign was further evidence. But this?

2.  Jane's Addiction reunite for MTV's 20th Anniversary party, and play... "Been Caught Stealing."  You waited 10 years to do that?

3.  The unrelenting avalance of oh-so funny, ever-so-slightly different "ready for a cold one?" Coors Light commercials.  This is the best ad campaign hundreds of millions of dollars can produce?

4.  Fuel's "Bad Day."  How can music this dull, lifeless and insipid be this popular?  As for the video: Dude, if it hurts you that much to sing this, maybe you should just stop.  Seriously.

5.  The True Dork Times is one year old.  True, some of these jokes are even older, but wow!  It's all downhill from here.

6.  "We make USA Today look like the New Yorker"

7.  "Happy news: by happy people, for happy people"

Back to the Top

1. Thanks to lack of paid commercials, becoming critically unaware of the latest annoying McDonalds jingle.

2.  Urge to gnaw off own leg while being stuck with a full hour of the alleged humor of "Whad'ya Know?" with Michael Feldman.

3.  Frequently find yourself humming irritating "Fresh Air" theme, rather than irritating jingles, er "songs," like Smashmouth's "All Star."

5.  Urge to move to New England, just to hear more people who sound like the "Car Talk" guys.

6.  Endless suspense, unaided by their web site, wondering if Bob Weston, production staff member of Chicago-based "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" is the same Bob Weston who plays bass for Chicago-based Shellac.

7.  Lingering suspicion that the Car Talk web site is considerably funnier than this one.

8.  Listening to barely-comprehensible British cricket and soccer players trot out endless tired athletic cliches on "BBC World Service" spoils the illusion that American baseball players do it as an homage to Bull Durham.

1.  "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" commercials for Walker, Texas Ranger, featuring senior citizen Chuck Norris, in black cowboy hat and trenchcoat, throwing phantom karate chops and kicks.  Sadly, aired only once.
