IMHO the bit at the end where Don sits weeping next to Oyster's deathbed is THE scene of the Golden Age of Television. It should feel cheap but it doesn't!

The SCDP offices are thrown into chaos by a visit from Cooper's old college roommate, a garrulous African Grey Parrot named Oyster. Don recalls a time in childhood when another parrot taught him a valuable lesson. Pete is still missing, and Betty begins talking back to the voices in the kitchen sink

suddenly wistful for the early 2000s cultural rhythm where you'd pull up one of your Gamer Webcomics to check in on the latest goofs only to find out the cartoonist saw Chicago (2002) and was so entranced they immediately slotted the whole cast into a months-long parody arc

i remember when i first posted this and someone accused me of making a Cask of Amontillado joke because it was a broadly known story from high school english that people would recognize and i was like... Yes??? Typically one makes jokes with the understanding there is an "audience" who "gets" them??

Monster Mash
Monster Mash
Monster Mash rock
From his slab rise
And to my surprise
He's mashing
And smashing
Up graveyards of fun
Now the Monster Mash has begun

You kids probably think we used to do a lot more bowling for soup. In fact we didn't. The mystery of the band's name was a part of the attraction, a bit of enchantment amid the humdrum everyday

the evil clown archetype has such staying power in culture because it allows society to articulate our inherent but repressed knowledge that laughter, fun, and joy are bad
