On This Chubby Kid Is Married to Katy Perry

Bear in mind the tilt of the page is accentuating the chin, and changing the shape of his face. The properly ratio-ed picture is a little more flattering: http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00389/SNF1532C_389423a.jpg Also, here he is as a teenager minus the puppy fat: http://www-movieline-com.vimg.net/images/assets_c/2010/07/teenage-russell-brand-thumb-500xauto-16261.jpg

On Community Recap: "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons"

"When last we saw the then-unnamed Fat Neil" - he was mentioned by name earlier in the season, but not seen. Then he was seen but not heard. And now he is both! It's great of Community that even though they could just put out these great self-contained episodes, they still weave in jokes and references that span the season.

On Eight Times The Simpsons Have Made Me Cry

No "I choo-choo-choose you"? It's a shame they dumbed Ralph down, he had promise.

On Why Comedy Movies Aren't Very Funny

This is a really good point; I'd never noticed that before. Arrested Development or Curb can usually get a few laugh-out-louds from me when I'm watching it alone - but I don't think I've ever laughed out loud at a film when watching it on my own.

On Why Are Comedies Still Using Gay Jokes?

"People laughed, but was it even a joke? The entire joke was that he called him a faggot. That was it." But that wasn't it - the joke is clearly that his partner has called his friends immature, he is about to rebut, then his friend interrupts with a very immature statement. The intended joke isn't 'Hurr hurr, he said faggot', but 'Hah, her criticism is valid'. Still, they could maybe have found a better word, I'm not sure.
