Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't remember how it arrived, but this was definitely first season Smallville. Maybe it was the episode Zero, where Lex was trussed up and hung upside down? That thread was fun.
It might have been.
Man, S1 of Smallville was one hell of a good time.
Maybe it was the episode Zero, where Lex was trussed up and hung upside down?
That's how I remember it.
I also remember Kristen coining it, though I thought it was making fun of all the "his cold flesh" stuff in fanfic.
To celebrate Mr Skilling's sentencing, the "Enron Explorer" offers access access to the whole corpus of 200,000 enron emails released during the fraud investigation.
The system generates a visualisation of each executive's social network and analyses the thematic signature of their communications. you can access each person's mailbox, read individual messages, or take a thematic slice through the archive. clicking on someone in the visualiser zooms them to the centre and loads their information.
My personal favourite from Mr Skilling is:
"Fuck you, you piece of shit. I can't wait to see you go down with the ship like all the other vermin. Smug, paranoid, unhappy mother fucker. Eat shit."
Heh.
Maybe it was the episode Zero,

I didn't watch Studio 60 yet, but I did read the whitefont, and I gotta say -- Who's on First is NOT funny. It makes me want to slowly, methodically kill whoever is doing it.

I laugh pretty much every single time I hear it, including the Slappy and Scrappy Squirrel version from Animaniacs.

Me too.
Also, Michael Mackean and David (memfault last name - the guy who played Squiggy) had a funny version using rock bands: YES, THE WHO, and THE GUESS WHO.

I think the reason I don't find it funny is that it's the embodiment of frustration borne out of shitty communication skills.
I know, I know. But there are whole areas of existence that are humor blind spots for me because I'm such an annoying pedant.
To prove that I do have a sense of humor, here is my list of Things That Never Stop Being Funny:
* Dick Cheney SHOT A GUY. In the face!
* "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." (To be fair, the funny part is the dude getting clocked in the head with the wrench 2 seconds later.)
* The Nextel commercial with the guys dancing to "Push It". (Hint: for best viewing quality, let the whole thing load first and then play it.) I can watch it on an endless loop, and it's funny every. single. time.
The Animaniacs routine used band names also.
