Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

On Studio 60 I was pretty darn eye-rolly. a lot. but what clinched it for me was the kid whipping out a copy of "Who's on First". a SEVENTY EIGHT of "Who's on First" that he apparently keeps in his desk. Or possibly Sorkin's butt.

What is even happening?

I just saw my very first bit of (any) Dr. Who the other night (aside from a vague memory of the 70s Doctor with freaky big hair)
Probably Pertwee.

Trudy (Studio 60)

Yeah, that was bizarre. I just chalked it up to him being the type who might have bought it for himself--a collectible of sorts.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Probably Pertwee.

ACK! The Elder! The younger Pertwee is sexy, hottt! And sans fright wig hair.

70s Doctor with freaky big hair

More likely Tom Baker, who, while I adorerd him, did have a lot of hair. I like my Doctors with a touch of multiple personality disorder, flashing from manic cheerful to dangerous.

Baker had the 'fro. Pertwee's looked like a bad rug. Sad all those Doctors had such awful hair.

I thought I adored CE. Then I saw David Tennant. Damn.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Robin Williams doing his impression of oral sex in his HBO comedy special a few years ago

Sweet fancy Moses -- the first time I saw that, my friends actually paused the DVD because I couldn't stop laughing and they (1) couldn't hear Robin Williams over me, and (2) they thought I might hyperventilate. (I think #2 is an exaggeration.)

Steve Martin as Ruprect in Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels

Oh HELL yes. My bro and I can send each other into gales of laughter with: "Mother? .... Not mother?"

Studio 60 "Yeah, that was bizarre. I just chalked it up to him being the type who might have bought it for himself--a collectible of sorts. " And kept it in the writers room?

And who takes his boss to see a guy he hasn't seen himself?

Because books.

70s Doctor with freaky big hair

More likely Tom Baker

I just checked the site -- definitely Tom Baker. Was it on PBS back then? Here, I mean?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In Anchorman, Steve Carrell saying "Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident," after the news team gang fight reduced me to howling laughter.

Just so you'll understand why the one with the 'big freaky hair' isn't so specific: [link]
