That terrible Avatar song ("My Heart Will Go On Even Longer") is probably going to win.

Aw, he didn't do the extended version. Either way, very funny.

If you're going to rip something off, at least make it a good rip off. This is just terrible.

I agree, I loved the fuck out of Middle Cyclone. That and Sunset Rubdown's Dragonslayer were probably my most played for the year.

Exactly. Every album she releases is pure perfection.

I feel that this is the time to mention that your avatar and name always make me laugh and hear "The Devil's Gallop" in my head. My love of Peep Show only came about because of my love for That Mitchell and Webb Look/Sound.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry about your cat. I went through that last year, and it is just the worst. If I was living in the present at all and had a twitter account I'd be tweeting you my condolences like nobody's business, but I do not so I'll just have to settle for sending this comment from the 20th century. =(

Yay for Sharlto Copley. I just saw District 9 again on dvd and he is so good. Great list, but Joel McHale needs some love. He's had a great year and he's still really awesome. I also think that if anyone from Mad Men was the best this year, it was definitely Jon Hamm. No jokes here, just earnestness!

Happy Holidays, guys. I hope your families aren't too horrible to you this year, and that your dad likes that Wild Hogs dvd that you got for him.

My hatred of Delilah is directly proportionate to how much my mother used to listen to that sappy bitch in the car, so: enormous. I can still hear that horrible theme song...

I have a version of this bit from a 2004 Yo La Tengo show and I've listened to it so many times, but it still makes me laugh. He goes on a few tangents about why the clerk won't give him the money and it is gold.
