Not a widely beloved performance, but on this episode of Prairie Home Companion, he plays Jim from Huckleberry Finn, catching up with ol’ Huck. One of my all-time favorite bits.

Wouldn’t the men who were “best” at masturbation have the fewest children?
Not sure if…

…or…
Breaking: Having Brain Eaten By Worm May Lead To Trump Endorsement

Aw, yours are better!
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse:
I have real love for TNG S1E16, “Too Short a Season.”
The Enterprise is dealing with a hostage crisis on a planet where the local government wants this old admiral who had negotiated a truce there decades before to come back. He shows up and it turns out he’s taking experimental de-aging drugs to grow younger. It turns out that when he had negotiated the original truce before, he had violated the prime directive and given weapons to some rebels, but he told himself that he made it even by giving the same weapons to the other side, which led to decades of bloodshed.
The writing is just okay, and the old guy / young guy makeup is pretty bad, but the scene where the admiral dies while looking into his wife’s eyes gets me. I also like to imagine that the ep might have originally been written with Kirk in mind as the old guy, because the whole “Well I made it fair by giving weapons to both sides” seems like the kind of cowboy insane shit that Kirk would pull and then never consider the consequences. The episode feels a little bit like it’s revisiting some of the times when Kirk would do his thing and then warp off into the sunset while definitely leaving some loose threads behind.
Original Yoda looks great. That puppet from TPM has too much hair, has its eyes too wide open, is lit poorly… it’s just a laundry list of how not to use a practical effect.
Scientist: It’s for the good of the planet! [releases plastic-eating bacteria into the wild]

Former Scientist Now Pottery Shard Crusher: Okay, maybe that was a mistake.

You never actually need to use as much toothpaste as is commonly depicted. A fraction of that will more than get the job done.
Spherical cartoon bombs… kinda existed, but went out of style in the 19th century.
I suppose there might be rare instances at livestock shows where you might see fluffy white cloud sheep, but most sheep I’ve ever seen in person are about as filthy as any other outdoor dwelling livestock, which is to say, fairly.
Goddammit, when did this shit become the default?!
Also, start eating crickets! They’re a great source of protein!
That looks… a lot… like the Greendale Community College flag.
Cornelius Hawthorne: You’ve got a wide brow. What are you, Scandinavian?
Britta: Yeah, Swedish!
Cornelius Hawthorne: spits Swedish dogs. Your blood is tainted by generations of race-mixing with Laplanders, you’re basically Finns.

Speaking from personal experience, I am fucking FURIOUS that the PS5 won’t let you play any PS5 games with the PS4 controller that will otherwise happily sync up with the PS5. Apart from the haptics, there’s no meaningful difference, and you can’t tell me those are essential. Hell, I can imagine cases in which a person might want to turn them off!
I like to imagine that a mirror universe / mind swap / space madness episode is always fun for the actors. After playing the same character for years they get to try out something different. Must be a nice change of pace.
Racism and picking John “Charisma of a Pile of Wet Laundry” Kerry to run against him.
