Relax tingletrent. Besides, Temptation said lowercase "apple", so I'm pretty sure he's referring to the time Jimmy Fallon tried to sell him a piece of fruit on the street in New York as he is often seen doing.

I was lucky enough to be in attendance at The Courthouse on the night of this performance; set the bar incredibly high for the remainder of the NXNE festivities over the next few nights. Great video.

I know that not everyone feels as strongly about Beyond as I do, but it may have been my favorite Dinosaur album since You're Living All Over Me; needless to say I've been eagerly anticipating their next effort ever since, so it's really nice to hear that it's at the very least solid. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture, so obviously I need to hear this for myself, but thanks for the advance coverage nonetheless.

Bill should be on more shows; or perhaps just one show, about him shutting down Ann over and over. I'd watch that.

I can deal with most of his comparisons; not necessarily agree, but I can deal with them. However, "Wayne is Hendrix" needs to be addressed, and by addressed I mean never uttered or even considered as a reasonable comparison again.

I went on a wilderness adventure very similar to this one recently. It rained the whole time, we forgot things, lost things, people got eaten by things; but overall the trip wasn't quite as bad as there wasn't a Killers song playing in the background the whole time.

I always judge overall musical quality and song-writing ability by quantity of follicles too; stick it to the man! (Or just to the balding man, apparently)

I didn't see this movie, so I don't have much to add other than that "Gushers, son!" is now my go-to greeting / expression of excitement.

Every time he was just Joseph Gordon-Levitt he was awkwardly over-excited; he shook Al Gore's hand so hard at the end of the show that he knocked his teeth all out of place. However, as other people have mentioned, he was quite good in the sketches, and the show was consistently funny for the first time in a while. Keenan's delivery of lines such as "and a penis" and "swinging like my balls" in the digital short killed me.

"Don't worry, I'm all over the butt one." I'm sure there's a joke to be made here but I couldn't think of anything that was funnier than the original phrase, so I figured I'd just take a note from youtube commenters and rewrite my favorite part. You're welcome.

It was nice of you to apologize to The Department of Good Taste, but they already have their hands full with Sofia Vergara... pun intended.

I seem to have missed the word "not"; "not receiving any sort of funding..." that makes more sense. I do that when I'm talking sometimes too, but it's far easier to just ignore it when that happens.

As pumped up as those clips made me about the idea of bringing down the Saw franchise (it doesn't take much to get me excited about the idea of bringing down the Saw franchise), might I suggest "Champion of My Heart" by Richie Cunning as another possible theme song? Quick! Exercise montage! Let's do this!

I don't think Jimmy Dickens even had knowledge of the incident that he was coincidentally mocking. Did you hear the emotion in his voice when he said "of all time"? He just genuinely loved Taylor's video, and clearly what you do when you love a music video is jump on the stage at an unimportant award show to defend it. The difference is being cute and old as opposed to obnoxious and drunk.

Gabe, the new barfing image you've been using lately is fitting of your plight as an entertainment blogger. She is clearly vomiting due to a poor decision on her part: partaking in some milk drinking competition that was sure to turn out awful for her while entertaining others. You watch shows and movies that are sure to be horrendous in order to effectively keep us monsters entertained. Therefore, e-barf, everywhere, and I just want you to know that I speak for all monsters when I say I'd hold your e-hair.
