I do not mean that my soul has blackened, since that ship sailed long ago. My other choice for a profession was lawyer, for god’s sake. I mean that my actual, physical body is a broken husk. If I had to blame someone for this, it would be my mother, from whose side of the…
There is nothing funny about the real Donald Trump, a raisin company mascot channelling the spirit of an internet commenter. What is funny is the voice actor behind Futurama’s Zapp Brannigan reading some of Trump’s dumbest quotes (from 2016 and beyond) in character. Billy West—who also voices Fry, Prof. Farnsworth and Zoidberg—tweeted some of the…
We all know that Bruce Wayne spent years traveling the world, mastering all manner of esoteric mental and physical disciplines to become the Dark Knight. But there’s no way he can do all that and be a bomb-ass cocksman, too. There is no doubt in my mind that Batman is very bad at The Sex….
