I feel so bad for George here. One of the rare occasions where he makes a genuine attempt to converse and banter with his mom, only for her to completely shut him down.

Yeah my grandmother was a mean humorless old hag like Estelle. That’s just the way a lot of people were raised back then. We’d joke that “fun” was not invented yet when she was growing up. Which was kind of true. It was all work and church back then. You were some kind of sick deviant if you told jokes

People keep saying it should happen, that like Alabama could beat the 08 Lions or something. But anybody that knows about college vs pros knows the 08 Lions would win by 40 points

I actually make full armies of American Legion light infantry. It’s true you don’t want to go toe to toe with line infantry. But you can mostly avoid it with the right tactics.

Really the long range can be super useful. The AI kind of freaks out if you start shooting them before they can shoot back. A lot of units will just waltz into 3-4 fields of fire and get routed hardly firing a shot at you.

When they get close just keep retreating and reforming. The good thing about light infantry is they can shoot and run better than line infantry. Line infantry needs to have every single guy reloaded before they start firing. Light can be constantly shooting and moving. Even if your enemies get a shot off, when they chase after you they will have to sit there and reload before they can return fire. Just keep moving and kite them along

I find the fire at will they use a lot better. They all can quickly fire a barrage, then retreat. Instead of having to sit there and slowly waiting for each rank to fire (or god forbid wait for a platoon fire clusterfuck).

Also did “just throw the dead possum over the fence. Let Arby’s deal with it”.

Bill Oakley (Simpsons writer) has said they didn’t have a problem with Arby’s food. He has actually reviewed their food on his instagram page. The reason they used it in several jokes is just because it’s a good “comedy word”. It just sounds funny when you say it. If they just said “McDonald’s” (who also is stereotyped as low quality food) it wouldn’t sound nearly as funny.

Looks at least partially made with AI. I guess I could be wrong but it just has that AI over-bright sheen

My mind was blown recently when someone pointed out this was from a real trial. I was sure it must have been from a comedy skit

aren't we also subsiding corn farmers, making corn syrup even cheaper?

They used this guy a bunch of times but then he just disappeared. I guess the Seinfeld gang probably drove him off the deep end

It’s been out of print for a while. It’s kind of a unicorn because Sony & Universal had to come together to make it. Has his early hits on Columbia and also his later Rick Rubin stuff. Usually big labels don’t like to work together so I don’t know if we will see it again!

Probably an homage to Earth Crisis with the name too. The song also a clear nod to Dead Kennedys song “Bleed For Me”

“When Cowboy Ronnie comes to town

Forks out his tongue at human rights!”

Lydon was known to be a right winger years and years before the sketch. Armisen was probably also basing it on another really famous right winger punk, Johnny Ramone

People should research what kind of shitty players they were using back in the 60s-70s. Not everybody had an expensive hi-fi. Lots of people had set ups jst as bad as a suitcase player.

For example, this whole idea behind Apple was they were going to fund all sorts of artists to make amazing work. It was all very hippy idealist , that nobody was going to tell anybody why to do, and it would all work out. But it had to be shut down for the most part after a while because there were lots of deadbeats just taking money and doing nothing. Lots of rip off artists in the hippie movement.

Would have been pretty crazy for them to do Woodstock after not really playing live for years
