One of those George Lucas Star Wars changes I’m not a fan of. In the original version of Empire Strikes Back, Vader tells his troops “Bring my shuttle.” You can feel his anger after Luke rejected him. There was no need for Lucas to add anything else. Less is more here.

This joke from Hey Arnold has been stuck in my head for 20 years. In the episode Family Man, there’s a running gag about a chef who works with Mr. Hyunh and his unhinged way of making a taco.

As a kid, I thought Oskar from Hey Arnold was the most hilarious character. Now that I’m older, I realize that he’s meant to represent failed adults who don’t take responsibility. He’s still hilarious though. That laugh has stayed rent free in my head for over 20 years.

Rewatched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for the first time in probably ten years since Gene Wilder died. One underrated scene is the computer who refuses to disclose the location of the Golden Tickets. Hilarious, especially for 1971 and the AI world we live in now.

SNL is very hit or miss but occasionally they’ll do something that’s legitimately hilarious like the sketch about a real politician named Harvey Epstein.

The Coca-Cola commercial spoofing GTA from 18 years ago is miles better than this soulless AI slop.

Watched Austin Powers in Goldmember. I liked how they capped off the trilogy by lampooning the repetitive cliches often seen in third films, while the celebrity cameos are genuinely funny. Loved seeing Michael Caine. Comes full circle since AP is a parody of Harry Palmer.

Wow, this is a huge loss. Taiki Matsuno was very famous as SpongeBob, voicing him from Season 4 onward. He brought joy to so many Japanese children and adults alike. It was seriously impressive how much he matched Tom Kenny’s cadence and demeanor. RIP. ご冥福をお祈りします。

One of the most underrated Monty Python sketches is when they made fun of Australians with exaggerated accents and everyone being named Bruce. I always find it hilarious watching Brits and Aussies making fun of each other as an American 😂

The Japanese dub of The Simpsons doesn’t get enough praise for how well it adapts the material. Here’s the scene where Ned Flanders snaps. The disparaging comments he makes about each character aren’t 100% the same in Japanese as in English, but the translators did a good job.

Everyone knows the famous Cantina Band theme from Star Wars, but often forgotten is the mellower second theme. Really shows off John Williams’ talents for jazz too.

Cautiously optimistic because of the director and I think exploring the character during his early years is an interesting concept. But that title “John Rambo” is hilarious considering the history of this series.

NHK is currently airing footage of a video game music concert! Greatest hits from Mario, Chrono Trigger and more. Masahiro Sakurai was there as a host too! Really moves me seeing video game music reaching this level of prestige, though Japan always appreciated ahead of the West!

Michael Caine on his working class roots. Many today would probably be surprised to see him so passionate, but at the height of his popularity he really did break class barriers. Before films like Zulu and The Ipcress File, you simply didn’t see Cockneys in those roles.

Hey Arnold probably has my favorite Christmas episode of any television series. The story of Mr. Hyunh being separated from his daughter during the Vietnam War is so heartbreaking. Even moreso after learning that his voice actor Baoan Coleman was present for the Fall of Saigon.

Seeing Michael Caine this angry and shouting “fuck” at the top of his lungs is hysterical 😂 Someone should edit these scenes from A Shock to the System into the Dark Knight Trilogy for maximum effect 🤣

The Manchurian Candidate is one of my favorite films of all time, but the train scene with Frank Sinatra and Janet Leigh has always stood out to me. The non-sequitur dialogue makes no sense and is never explained. It’s lifted from the novel, which also never explained it.

Billy Mays Suicide Putty is one of the most classic videos of golden age late 2000s YouTube poop. It has everything. The low resolution, the intentionally choppy spliced audio, and of course a “This is Sparta!” reference. We didn’t have AI in those days, kids. This was art.
