Justice League Action "Time Share"

learned:

* thank you for this, show. it's not a time machine but it's something.

* Chronos: this isn't just a thermos, it's a Rocky Mountain Tumbler!

* Batman: shit, those words will bite me in the ass later on this episode. this is why i don't talk.

* Blue Beetle: where do i begin and my Siri ends?
Siri: let's watch Her again after the takedown. i need a break from all this masculinity.

* Batman: y'know when i ascend the wall in a direct vertical line with the rope, i'm really doing it horizontally. it's all a camera trick.
Blue Beetle: i didn't know you were a lifecaster, Batman.

* Batman: the first time i posed the lightning struck me. i forgot all of the '90s.
Blue Beetle: that is a bigger tragedy than your parents.

* Blue Beetle: please tell me you got a shot of that.
Siri nods.
Batman: you could have just asked me for the DVD.
Blue Beetle: what's a DVD?

* Blue Beetle: if we're not careful you could be erased from the timeline.
Batman: at least do it before Batman & Robin comes out.

* Chronos: look at me! i'm doing parkour!
Batman: this is the '90s, that isn't cool yet, it's just trespassing now.

* Falcone: i'm Falcone, the greatest crime mind Gotham has ever known. you mean to tell me some freak in a bat costume will surpass me?
Batman: i'm afraid so. you are clearly smart but we went in another direction. we're tired of generic villains.
Falcone: o why did i have to be born into la famiglia?

* Superman: good job, kid. he never says someone did a good job. can i borrow your phone?
Blue Beetle: sure, Superman. what for?

Power Rangers Ninja Steel "Presto Chango-O"

learned:

* it should have been titled "Preston Chango" obviously. they really whiffed on that one.

* in this mythology, the zord conforms to your deepest desire. my zord would be a big dildo.

* i love how the giant red robot zord moves by walking fast. prediction: Redbot is somehow this giant red robot zord after all.

* Preston: i'm a fucking Power Ranger but that's not enough for me. i also want to be a magician who pulls rabbits out of hats.

* i like how's there's a Calvin in the group, Calvin's a regal name befitting a Ranger. Mick should have been called Mech. no way would the bully be Victor Vincent and the nerd be Monty, those two should have switched names.

* Brody: you just gotta believe, Preston.
Preston: thanks, Brody. i will surpass my brother Yoshi in handsomeness some day.

* Calvin: i love you, Hayley.
Hayley: i love you, Calvin.
Sarah: awww, you guys are so cute! have you fucked yet?

* Sarah: you like my jeans, girl?
Hayley: those are my jeans, girl.

* Madame Odius: i have a plan, master.
Galvanax: say that again. your voice is so smooth and buttery. pure silk. have you ever considered modeling?

* Sarah: you're a chump!
Galvanax: i've been called worse.
Sarah: chump means something different in Brazilian.

* Monty: help! put my halves back together!
Preston: sorry about that. you're a nerd so you don't matter.
Monty: wait hold on. i look better as this square-shape person. according to my calculations, our ratings just spiked 1000%. the Minecraft audience is watching us now.

* Brody: thanks so much for the brand new range rover! i love you guys!
Sarah: i hope you're satisfied. this thing was so expensive Calvin had to take out a second loan and got into some money issues with Hayley and they broke up.








Justice League Action "Galaxy Jest"

learned:

* i wanted to do that clever nuclear-family one but oh well

* the Joker? again? oh Awesome Joker. Awesome Joker's awesome!

* Batman: why are you always smirking, Diana? it's annoying.

* Superman: i am not familiar with this clown.
Batman: i know but all we can do is wait for the midterms.
Superman: no, the Joker.
Batman: read The Killing Joke.
Superman: grown men shouldn't still be reading comics.

* Joker: it's a good thing i didn't wear a skirt today.
Batman: but you still didn't wear any pants today.

* Mongul: make my men laugh, they are monsters, their lives are so sad all the time.

* Joker: i heard Mongul has trouble going to the bathroom.
Mongul punches Joker.
Joker: what was that for?! it's a roast, man, it's a roast.

* Flash: can we make this fast?
Wonder Woman: very funny.
Flash: i gotta be somewhere.
Wonder Woman: no one is interested in your bedroom conquests.
Flash: no i have to go to the bathroom. number 2 takes a lot of time for me.

* Wonder Woman: is this the part where i kick ass and take down all of Mongul's men by myself?
Mongul's army: we surrender. here, take this pink pussyhat as your reward.
Wonder Woman: wow this is nice! soft to the touch yet durable. fine craftsmanship.
Mongul's army: thank you. we do a little knitting on the side to stave off the unremitting boredom of space.

* Joker: you're too late, Batman! i've set the gas to go off by timer.
Joker looks at his silly Apple watch.
Joker: 3-2-1.........*fart*
Joker farts.
Superman: thank god you're too juvenile to be a real threat.
Batman: it seems you still haven't read The Killing Joke...

Power Rangers Ninja Steel "Live and Learn"

learned: (get it?)

* uh so yeah, sorry bout that. i thought this thing started in February. whoops.

* i'm sure this will all make sense once i see the first two episodes...

* first impressions: ass. and tits.

* i knew it. the aliens are watching us. they knew about reality tv way before we did.

* so this is Degrassi: Next Class huh. i just couldn't keep up and dropped Degrassi from my life. i still regard the ending on TeenNick as the proper finale.

* the scientist helper sidekick dude is like a more mature Ziggy.

* wow, the jock and the nerd are best friends? progressive.

* robots. there's always gotta be robots.

* "that's for me to know and for you to NEVER find out!" you got me, show.

* it's only cheating if you get caught.

* yeah that's the point of tech. to make life so comfortable for us we are lulled into a false sense of security. that's when the robots invade.

* please, you are modern women. take off those white and pink shirts.

* alien: i'm on rollerblades. i'm cool.
Ranger: have you heard of an Earthling called The Most Interesting Man in the World? he thought differently. i'm sure you haven't. he's on Mars now. he's a legend. they replaced him with some skinny punk with a pencil beard.

* jock: so this is what it feels like to get bullied and have it broadcast all over the internet.................how many views?
nerd: more than the Rangers.
jock: how many views when it was remixed?
nerd: it got LESS views after the remix. when will people learn?

Doctor Who "The Return of Doctor Mysterio"

learned:

* do i have to?

* *dusts off blog*

* *can't dust off blog, rusted shut*

* i enjoyed the break, thank you. i really enjoyed the break.

* Mysterio? come on, Moffat.

* when 90 minutes feels like 60 minutes...

* this takes me back to the golden years. the '80s, my introduction to Superman, my introduction to film in general, movie popcorn when the butter was still real, pre-instagram, glorious pre-instagram.

* i never got into comic books tho. found that whole scene creepy.

* back when superheroes realized how corny they were. see everyone was Deadpool back then.

* boy: mom there's a strange man dangling from our roof.
mom: stuff his pie hole full of cookies.
the Doctor: is your mom hot? i mean ho ho ho.
mom: how dare you!
the Doctor: no i was adding the flimsy Christmas theme to this.
mom: forget the cookies, Peter, you need carrots. you're looking a little gaunt.

* Peter: whatever you do, kid, don't swallow this gem which will grant you the power to fly.
the kid swallows the gem.
the kid: i'm a kid.

* Peter: puberty hit yet?
young man: yep. it's embarrassing. i don't want to look at my crush naked.
Peter: so? what you reckon?
young man: you need to work out.

* Grant: i'm a male nanny. got a problem with that?
Peter: no only the part when you slip into that male-escort costume.
Grant: gotta make a buck. superheroing doesn't pay the bills. hey can you lend me some money?
Peter: no i'm getting sick of these bad scripts, i think i'm done after this series.

* Grant, get it?

* Lucy Fletcher. the most British name ever.

* Big Bad: the non-romantic plotline here which no one cares about is that there are brains or something, alien brains with eyes, that i can see out of, and misdirection, false flag, nativism, and i'm gonna take over the world.
Peter: why does everyone want to take over the world? what's the point? haven't you seen Before the Flood?

* Lucy: i'm not a bad mother i just really need a date night.
Grant: have you tried Care.com?
Lucy: so you're seeing someone? i'm jealous, but i don't know why.
Grant: it's the same reason Chi-Chi is attracted to Goku...

* Peter: please, no guns. no guns in Doctor Who. we're like Batman.

* Nardole: hi. i'm Nardole. i look weird. i have a weird face. and a weird bald head. here for comic relief. and wisdom.

* Nardole: you're lonely.
Peter: no i'm not! i follow Maisie on instagram!

* Lucy: i'm intrepid. i know when you're lying, Peter. squeeze.....................no, not there! the squeaky chew toy thingy!

* at their rooftop dinner date:
Lucy: why are you called The Ghost?
Grant: cos my hard-earned cash keeps disappearing...
Lucy: what's your favorite pizza topping?
Grant: super. does that red dress mean you want to have sex?
Lucy: no it's to show that pepperoni is my favorite. Goku was a bad father.
Grant: look i tried my best acting that thing, okay?!

* Peter: so basically if Grant doesn't get a boner before the bomb explodes, he saves the day. but he's with his childhood crush.
Big Bad: ingenious, no?
Peter: hold on i'm getting a tweet from realdonaldtrump saying he thinks this plot is a disaster.

* Peter: i'm over my girlfriend okay. i don't think about River Song anymore. endings are both sad and beautiful.
Grant: cookies?
Peter: i can't eat sweeties anymore.
