Also, given how much he professed to despise Gary Trudeau for Duke in Doonesbury, the mind boggles as to what Hunter S. Thompson would have thought of the character that's blatantly based on him in Venture Brothers.
That's insane troll logic!

I just finished the first series of SPACED, and I think I want to have babies with this show. It's more wry than LOL, but occasionally it just makes me lose it. And the dance at the end of the last episode made me really teary even as I laughed my ass off at Daisy asking is she could borrow Tim's porn.
It's also one of the few television shows that's made me laugh because of the style it's filmed in.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh yeah, there are so many great visual jokes. And Star Wars references.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Which begs the question: Where will you find the most Star Wars references?
Spaced?
Venture Brothers?
Robot Chicken?
Family Guy?
Kevin Smith movies?

Heh. Or the WWII aviation films he stole all the dogfight bits. I can't remember the title but it was about the use of a bomb that skipped along the water so it could blow up a dam. That was the basis for the attack on the Death Star scenes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Tom ftw.
I was just reading an interview with the Spaced crew on AICN and they pointed out all the special guest stars in the commentary. I hadn't even realized, it's like a whole other show waiting for me in the special features! Here it is.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Dam Busters? "It's this movie about guys who bust dams. I don't know what it's called."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Well, dammit, today was supposed to be the last day to get the t-shirt, but orders are already closed. ::shakes shaky fist Venture Industries-ward::
