Back in 1990, before 30 Rock and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip NBC considered picking up a different show about an entertainer managing a variety show in New York. Pretty normal, right? Did I mention that this entertainer happens to be a poorly-constructed marionette that looks suspiciously like Conan O'Brien? The pilot was never picked up, but you can watch the opening credits below. If the show was anything like the theme song, it was immediately off-putting, completely inane, and about twice as long as it should be.

The shows that were so exquisitely terrible that they got to stay on the air forever.

Three quick notes before we begin:

1) None of this is actual criticism; it's nerdy, "Genius At Work"-shirted nitpicking purely so we Simpsons-obsessives can talk about The Simpsons. Think of it like a Bible Study, but with more important source material.

2) The examples here are confined to seasons 2-10.

3) This list doesn't include out-of-character moments where the out-of-characterness is the joke itself, like when Homer puts on glasses and instantly recites the Pythagorean Theorem. This is a very important distinction (in a very important internet list).

That said, onto the weird moments in the best thing ever made!

Coolest Movie Invention

10. Inception Machine

Inception introduced all kinds of crazy concepts though its shared dream briefcase that's never really explained. It's a dangerous process, though: people can get injured, die, and even get trapped in a terrible fantasy realm that renders you an insane octogenarian by the time you're rescued. But I'm not looking to topple a multinational corporation, I just want to make sure someone else is down with where I want to go for lunch today, or maybe just take a Ski Break one Sunday night with a couple of famous dogs. I could handle that just fine.

I always stand around and wait for someone. Not because I have plans or anything, I just read where people are on Facebook and then I stand around and wait for them. I don't even want to, like, join them, I just want to say "hi." This doesn't mean that I don't have any friends to hang out with, or to make my own plans with. I guess it's because I'm a people-pleaser and I know that nothing makes me happier than when people say "hi" to me, so I like to go out of my way to make people feel the same way. Sue me.

On Christmas Eve, Charlie Calvin's dad startles Santa Claus, which makes him fall off a roof and die. That is the premise of this family-friendly Christmas movie. This is horrifying. The kid sees Santa DIE, then his own dad becomes Santa, which leads his mother and step-father to revoke his custody because he's crazy and they think he's made Charlie crazy. That's bad enough, but the movie ignores another traumatizing thought, that Charlie probably thought of somewhere between the horrors of The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: the Santa he watched die was probably somebody else's Santa Dad. Try stay well-adjusted with all that in your head.

Sometimes the cast of one show reunites on another, and even though they're all different characters in a different world they still reference their shared history outside the show's universe. Here are some of the best examples:


1. Parks and Recreation references The West Wing

On the Parks and Recreation episode "Live Ammo," Bradley Whitford guest stars and reunites with former West Wing cast member Rob Lowe. Their characters in The West Wing, Josh Lyman and Sam Seaborn, worked together as senior staff under President Bartlett. Though they're still working in the government in Parks and Recreation, they seem to have been massively demoted to Pawnee. Whitford plays Councilman Pillner and while he's never in the same room at Chris Traeger (Lowe), the writers at Parks don't forget to throw in a little tribute to The West Wing.

Baby Years- Sliders
You have just arrived in a new world. You slowly adjust to being out of the comfortable womb, where you knew what everything was. Much like Quinn Mallory and his group, everything is new to you now. Just like them, you're trying to find out where you are and what surrounds you. Hopefully, you'll be able to figure it out on time, and not die in the process. Thankfully, you won't have to slide into another new world in 12 hours, 28 minutes and 38 seconds.

For a few blissful years, "sex" is nothing but something to laugh at whenever an adult doesn't say "gender" instead. Fast forward a couple of years and it defines everything about you. It's terrible. Suddenly, you can no longer fight with someone of the opposite sex, or invite them over to your house to play, because you feel weird about it for some reason. Yeah, having sex is great, but that only happens sometimes. Sex is like taking a pill that makes you more stupid, more nervous, and less able in just about every situation. Getting it on is just a side effect.

10 Things I Shouldnt Have Put In My Cover Letter - Image 1

Self-promotion is a very strange thing. The idea that you must make a commercial of yourself so that someone you've never met might give you approval is a bit alienating. How do you navigate this? What are you really all about? Who are you even? These are the types of questions you must confront when writing a cover letter, and I can help you out. Don't get the wrong idea though! I'm not going to tell you how to write a successful cover letter, but what I will do is tell you how not to write one. After all, knowing what not to do is how you reverse engineer your way to success.

Here are some excerpts from different cover letters I have written over the years. Most of these seemed like great ways to introduce myself to a hiring manager, but now I understand my follies in retrospect.

But, travelers beware, within the depths of Craigslist lays some… pretty weird offers. Here's a list of some of the weird things people are offering for free or for barter.


1. Locking Stocks recommended for "witches and strippers"

There is nothing it loves more than nostalgic lists about things 90s kids remember from their 90s childhood. Well, there's a lot of seriously dumb sh*t creeping onto these lists that weren't at all from the 90s. Allow me to give some examples:

1. The 90s didn't invent school supplies, you fool

Those Mailboxes That Aren't Really Mailboxes

You know, those grey or green boxes that look like mailboxes and are usually nearish mailboxes, but don't actually accept any mail. What are those? You've wondered for years, but never bothered to look up because you didn't know what they were called and didn't really care that much. Well, according to a bunch of unreliable answers on the Internet, and this somewhat-more-reliable message board from 2003, they're called "relay boxes" and are where letters are stored by one mailman to be picked up by another mailman so the second mailman can deliver them. Or something like that. They're mostly not used anymore because they seem highly inefficient, but the boxes are still there to taunt you when you're trying to find a mailbox so you can pay your rent.
