I found an article from 4 weeks ago that says Archer returns September 15. I'm guessing this is wrong? - Guigue Sep 7, 08:20 6
- No, that was last year. (There's weird confusion about season numbers.) -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:25 1
  - The article is from 4 weeks ago, and Season 3 started in January... - Guigue Sep 7, 08:31
- They supposedly showed the premier episode at Comic-Con, so maybe. - JaxSean Sep 7, 08:24
- At the bottom of this article it says it premiers on Sept. 15th. at 10:30 pm. Yay!!! -- (link) - Krusty Sep 7, 08:23 2
  - Damn it, probably the same article. Sorry. I'm not getting much else either. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:24 1
    - Yes exact same article. Nothing on the official page or on the facebook page, so I'm guessing it's not right - Guigue Sep 7, 08:30
My cousin linked me to this. It's funny. Does have some swearing at one point, though. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 7, 08:19 [youtube]
I hate that places switch to winter clothing in August. I need some new shorts but no one has my size in stock. Not even the website has them. - sycor Sep 7, 08:17 6
- ebay -- nm - peglegpete Sep 7, 08:23 1
  - what I'm looking for isn't there. Thanks for the idea though -- nm - sycor Sep 7, 08:26
- It's like when it's July and you can't even find bathing suits for sale anywhere. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 7, 08:19
- Racks are still full of shorts here, not even on clearance yet. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:18 2
  - Lucky. -- nm - sycor Sep 7, 08:23 1
    - Nah, I have more than enough summer clothes. Maybe pick something upon clearance, so bring on the winter clothes!!! -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:24

- Their list is supposedly based on laughs per minute. -- nm - LMS Sep 7, 08:24 2
  - Yeah, I should have said that. Kinda silly though. *Every* comedies goal is to keep you laughing the whole time. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:28 1
    - Not really. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:31
- Airplane, Meaning of Life, Young Frankenstein, Porky's, Something About Mary -- nm - ceregon Sep 7, 08:22
- Airplane, There's Something About Mary, Naked Gun, Anchorman, Spinal Tap - Inigo Sep 7, 08:22
- Not sure of my entire list but the one I do not see listed here yet that is in my top five is Harvey. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:21 2
  - (the movie my cat is named after. as he was invisible for weeks when we got him, plus, he looks like a Harvey) -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:22 1
    - I just love that movie. In my top 10 faves. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:23
- High Fidelity, Shaun of the Dead, Groundhog Day, The Hangover, A Christmas Story -- nm - Don Homer Sep 7, 08:20 2
  - aw crap. A Christmas Story would be my #1. - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:23 1
    - I know! This is one I can't believe I left off my list. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:27

  - I did! -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:18 1
    - *high five* -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:20
- This is the hardest list in the world to make.I can come up with a long list of 16 and it's really tough to cut from there... - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:14 7
  - Gun to my head, I guess I'd pick Ghostbusters, Anchorman, Better Off Dead, Tenenbaums, and A Fish Called Wanda. - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:22 5
    - "KKKKKKKKen. Come to kkkkkkkkkill me?" That one is just outside the top 5 for me. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:24 1
      - i just watched this again a few weeks ago. it's still wonderful. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:29
    - switch! A Christmas Story, Ghostbusters, Anchorman, Better Off Dead, Tenenbaums. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:23 2
      - If I endorse one of these, are you gonna mark that one off the list too? *narrows eyes* -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:26 1
        
        Heh heh. Noooooo. Of course not. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:27
  - It kills me to leave off Grail and Princess Bride but they are 6 and 7 for me. -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 08:16
- Wedding Crashers, Something about Mary, Ground hog Day, Hangover -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 08:13
- Hard to choose - Blazing Saddles, National Lampoon's Vacation, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Holy Grail and Spaceballs. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:09 2
  - I had you pegged for a Cheech and Chong movie. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:09 1
    - Meh. Up In Smoke was funny but not in my top 20. Half Baked would probably be my favorite stoner comedy. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:13
- Off the top of my head, probably Caddyshack, Three Amigos, Galaxy Quest, Super Troopers, Dodgeball, Office Space, Anchorman - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:04 5
  - Crap...Vacation, Clerks, Josie and the Pussycats, About a Boy, 40 Year Old Virgin. This is tough! {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:05 4
    - Josie and the Pussycats????? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:06 3
      - I know, right? But it is a smart, funny, snarky movie inside a bubble gum pop wrapper. {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:07 2
        
        I enjoyed it, but I would not put it in my top 20 comedies, for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:08 1
        
        I think part of my love for it is how mainstream it is not. It never makes any lists, so I give it extra credit. I'm weird. :) {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:13
- Their list: 1) Airplane 2) The Hangover 3) The Naked Gun 4) Superbad 5) Borat -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:02 6
  - I could see a real case for 1-3....it's #4 where things go wrong. - Will Hunting Sep 7, 08:05
  - The first 3 I can agree with. Superbad was OK not great and I never saw Borat -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 08:04 3
    - I loved 1 and 3. The rest are just recency effect, imo. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:09
    - I tried to watch Borat once. Made it through about 20 minutes. {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:06
    - you have to see Borat. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:05
  - honestly, I do not think that is horrible, all things considered. - groiny Sep 7, 08:02
- Spinal Tap, Groundhog Day, Fletch, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers -- nm - volnelk Sep 7, 08:00 8
  - With a lifetime achievement award for times watched and enjoyed to Princess Bride. -- nm - volnelk Sep 7, 08:02
  - Oooh...take Holy grail off my list and put Fletch on. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 08:01 6
    - Fletch over Holy Grail? What are you smoking there Jimmy Bob Jimmy? -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 08:05 4
      - I take points away from Holy Grail for the cop out ending. Fletch was hilarious from start to finish. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 08:10 2
        
        Oh, but Blazing Saddles doesn't have a copout ending? -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 08:11 1
        
        yeah, the worst part of the movie by far. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:15
      - I am not a big fan of Monty Python. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:06
    - It's all about ball bearings. -- nm - volnelk Sep 7, 08:02

- Airplane, Ghostbusters, Hangover, Dr. Stangelove -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 07:53 3
  - I should kick myself for not including Blazing Saddle -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 07:56 2
    - Or, you could kick yourself for listing 4 when he asked for 5. nm - Jim Sep 7, 07:56 1
      - or just kick himself just because. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 07:58

The Atlantic is tweeting to death this morning about Obama's "dull" speech -- (link) - ty97 Sep 7, 07:42 11
- Clinton's speech had you all orgasmic. Obama's speech had oneish board of discussion last night. - spamlet Sep 7, 07:57 8
  - I thought it was very good. I'm not getting where the disappointment is coming from. If anything the crowd was just tired after 3 days of it, but I - pmb Sep 7, 08:12
  - "Not as good as Clinton's" doesn't really equate to "dull." -- nm - mara Sep 7, 08:05 3
    - Would you prefer "letdown"? - spamlet Sep 7, 08:12 1
      - And I don't see how you can think I'm arguing anything. I'm saying I didn't find it dull. -- nm - mara Sep 7, 08:15
    - and it was a completely different type of speech with a different purpose - znufrii Sep 7, 08:08
  - [deleted]
  - He could've come out WITH Clinton last night and said, "I accept your nomination for President and...what he said!!" -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 08:01 1
    - Right, but he didn't and his speech didn't really live up to the Clinton speech in the eyes of the people he was trying to fire up. - spamlet Sep 7, 08:05
- It wouldn't call it dull, but it was definitely short on policy. -- nm - mara Sep 7, 07:56
- I enjoyed his speech...However, the unemployment news today could be trouble - amoxy Sep 7, 07:47
