If this was an American movie, it would star Jason Segal and I would watch half of it on tv one afternoon. But it’s made in India and I want to watch it twice.

Look at this Milhouse
I honestly can’t decide what part of this is the grossest. Here are some options:
1.) The look on the guy’s face
2.) The fact that he’s writing an article about having pants fun with a “normal” in his Sonic the Hedgehog-themed apartment just to see if he could.
3.) His Glee haircut
4.) The fact that this got published, even if it’s just on cruddy ol’ Kotaku
5.) “Once you get tied down everything starts looking more and more like an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.” Has this guy had more than one serious relationship ever? Probably not many.
6.) I’m not even going to look at the comments.
Oh wait I found it. It’s there at the bottom
7.) [Editor’s Note: We’ve taken some heat for this story. Some didn’t find it funny. To that I expect condemnation only for our taste. But to those who feel the story supported a view that our readers are all straight, male gamers, I do apologize. I should have caught that in the editing process of what was intended to be a light, humorous story. No article on this site should make you feel that you don’t count as a gamer. If this article made you feel that way, I apologize. That’s not on Kris, who was simply trying to entertain our readers. That’s on me. -Stephen Totilo, Editor-in-Chief, Kotaku.com ]

Why oh why am I obsessed with the Paul Reiser show?
There aren’t even episodes of it up on youtube. There are episodes of V.I.P. up on youtube. Did anyone besides me even watch the damn thing?
In case you missed it, which you did, It was basically Curb Your Enthusiasm except with Paul Reiser. And he has kids. And Andy Daley was in it, not doing the kind of intensely bizarre character work that he excels at (NSFW audio). But still. Dude’s gotta eat. I’m not mad at him. I’m not mad at anyone!
The second episode featured Henry Rollins as Henry Rollins, who’s kid goes to school with Paul Reiser’s kids. And Henry Rollins is mad at Paul Reiser! Oh no! And then it got cancelled. Two episodes. It barely happened, in TV-years. V.I.P. had 4 whole seasons! Also episode one actually ended like this.
For such a blip on the pop culture radar, it really made me ask a lot of questions. Most of them boil down to “why?” There are so many decisions that go into making a TV show. What happened? (OK I guess one of them started with “what.”) This show is baffling. Paul Reiser managed to get this entire TV show off the ground, and it’s essentially a vanity project where he pretended to be Larry David, who I’m assuming is one of his major influences. This is a thing that happened.
Also I just learned this tidbit from Todd VanDerWerff:
Tonight’s episode, which goes out of its way to set up just who Reiser is in this show’s universe and how that Reiser intersects with our Reiser AND tries to set him up as a cranky curmudgeon, very much feels like a pilot for this show. In particular, the moment when Larry David suggests to Reiser that he should get his own show like Curb Your Enthusiasm feels like a sly wink at what we’ve been seeing. It’s weird, then, to see the show’s fourth episode (airing May 5) and realize that this is ACTUALLY the show’s pilot. Paul meets a character he’s already talked to as an old friend in two earlier episodes, the show ladles on exposition about who all of the people in his life are, and some of the sets and actors are different. It’s the most blatant case of a pilot being shifted to later in the order I’ve seen in ages, and it only contributes to the overall sense that this is a sitcom produced by aliens who have observed our Earth traditions and wish to recreate them.

i interviewed warren ellis. he talked about a lot of things, not least of which was the question of whether he has common ground with newt gingrich when it comes to space exploration.

Draft of a sketch I wrote in class
BRITISH
Cast:
Dr. Barnes- a doctor
James- Young British man
Debbie- a nurse
(Hospital. James is lying in bed)
(Dr. Barnes enters with a file folder)
DR. BARNES
Please sit down. (looks up) Oh. We got your test results back, James.
JAMES
Did you figure out what’s wrong with me, Doctor?
DR. BARNES
I’m afraid there’s no easy way to say this. You’re British.
JAMES
I’m…British?
DR. BARNES
We checked the results several times to be sure. I’m afraid you’re definitely British.
JAMES
I can’t believe it. Are you sure I’m not just anemic?
DR. BARNES
That’s usually how it presents at first, but your other symptoms all fit.
JAMES
Does my wife know yet?
DR. BARNES
I thought it would be better if she heard it from you. You’re actually lucky, you know. Before we checked your Dubstep levels, we thought you might be Australian.
JAMES
Dubstep levels?
DR. BARNES
Yes that’s actually what helped us make the diagnosis. You have the highest Dubstep levels I’ve ever seen. It’s a wonder you’re not dancing awkwardly.
JAMES
(sits up)
Oh god! Can you cure me?
DR. BARNES
There are treatments available, but you will always be British.
(Puts his hand on Jame’s shoulder and looks in his eyes)
Sorry, I mean a British Person.
JAMES
What am I going to do, Doctor? What am I going to do?
DR. BARNES
Now James, there have been several people throughout history who have gone on to live practically normal lives despite being British.
JAMES
Really?
DR. BARNES
Yes, really. There have been British musicians, British actors, British nurses, and maybe some day we’ll have a British president.
JAMES
What about my children? Will they be British?
DR. BARNES
They’ll be half British. It’s very likely that they’ll never exhibit any symptoms of being British at all. How old are they?
JAMES
The oldest is five. The youngest is three.
DR. BARNES
Those are fun ages. What are their names?
JAMES
The youngest is named Anthony, and the oldest is named Margaret Thatcher.
DR. BARNES
Oh.
JAMES
(standing up)
What do you mean, “oh?” What ever is the matter, doctor?
DR. BARNES
It may be nothing, but I’d like for you to bring your daughter in for a consultation.
JAMES
Do you think she’s…
DR. BARNES
It’s too soon to say. Is your wife British?
JAMES
No.
DR. BARNES
There’s a test you can conduct at home to see if your daughter’s British. Ask her to say “aluminum.”
JAMES
Aluminium?
DR. BARNES
Maybe you’d better let your wife conduct that test. Here’s a prescription for a Willie Nelson album and a can of chili. Try to head down to a Wal-Mart and get that filled as soon as possible. And if you have any other questions, feel free to call.
JAMES
Thank you, Doctor Barnes.
(Debbie bursts in)
DEBBIE
Sorry to bother you, Dr. Barnes, but there’s a patient in room 213 with a severe case of 1950’s Greaser.
Dr. Barnes
I’m sorry, but I have to go.
(Dr. Barnes pulls out a switchblade and exits quickly, snapping his fingers)

Here’s a guy …
When I started standup in Philadelphia, Todd Glass was a hero to me. Now he’s a hero to me all over again, in a different way. I am proud of him and happy for him!
Todd Glass: “It’s time that bullies stop bullying and we bully them.”
WTF with Marc Maron - Episode 245 - Todd Glass
This is a watershed moment for comedy. We love you, Todd!
