Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

The uncensored Pamela Anderson roast was on this weekend, and I caught that one. It was pretty funny. Of course, the funniest bit was Bea Arthur reading from Pamela Anderson's book in her incredibly dry voice. They only showed a little clip of that, which I was kind of annoyed by, I would have liked to see her entire presentation.

Weird thing about roasts, the roasters seem to read from their notes a lot. Is it because they wait until the last minute so they can't use the teleprompter?

Venture Brothers: MAN! These last two episodes have been freakin' phenomenal!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I didn't get why everyone was laughing at Norm McDonald but I though the rest of it (especially Cloris Leachman) was quite funny.

Ha! I kept getting faked out by the audience laughing at Norm McDonald, then I'd turn the sound back on and he'd be saying something that made no sense whatsoever. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Greg Giraldo and Jeffrey Ross weren't that bad on rewatch, but excepting them and Leachman I'd say Stamos (or whoever was writing his material) was funnier than the rest of the roasters. I hope they do a better job when doing their regular stand-up.

Greg Giraldo and Jeffrey Ross are on every roast. They're generally not funny, they're just good at being mean.

FAQWife squealed at that line. I had to ask her to explain it.

Honestly, I just recognized the name as art-related. When I went to wikipedia, I totally remembered reading about his stuff and laughed my ass off.
