GMM - The Best Burrito?

Rhett and Link determine the best widely available burrito.



The fact that Moe's isn't included means this episode is a contest for second place.

I also think there's a flaw in the testing methodology. When taking large bites from a burrito, you're bound to get a pocket of only one or two ingredients. What they should have done is many bites across a cross-section to get a complete sense of the burrito profile.

My own rankings from the tests that I've conducted:

1. Moe's
2. Qdoba
3. Chipotle
4. Baja Fresh

GMM - Paul Scheer

Rhett, Link and Paul Scheer attempt to match ventriloquists to their ventriloquist dummies:



And in honor of How Did This Get Made, they view foreign movie posters and try to guess which movie they're for.

MST3K Returns Thanksgiving Day

I made the title "MST3K Returns Thanksgiving Day" but if I had left it at "Thanksgiving" would people be confused? "Is it Thanksgiving Eve?" "I thought it was the Second Night of Thanksgiving!"

The new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be released to Netflix on Thanksgiving and will consist of 6 episodes. You can read about it here.

Conan - Ninja Sex Party

Ninja Sex Party perform their song "Danny Don't You Know" on Conan.



I'm sure that being the musical guest on Conan isn't what it used to be but it still feels like a big deal.

Late Show - Pat and Kenny Read Oprah Transcripts

The full collection of Pat and Kenny Read Oprah Transcripts. Almost two hours of Oprah transcripts...


I tried to research how authentic the transcripts are. They are certainly using real quotes from the show although there is definitely selective editing and some embellishment, from what I can tell.

A tidbit from the video description: "The brainchild of Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, Late Show writers and later the creators of "How I Met Your Mother.""

Back when this was on I wrote down the address to write to and kept it on a text document on my computer. I always wanted to find out what happens when you write in for a transcript of Pat and Kenny Read Oprah Transcripts. I never followed through with it, but I do still have the text document on my computer.

Conan Announces Late Night Archive



This is something I've been harping on for years - big networks will block fans from uploading clips on copyright grounds but then won't upload the clips themselves... and the end result is that no one wins.

I applaud Conan for offering a solution. Even though the idea that he'll be uploading "just about everything I've ever done in late night" sounds too good to be true, it's still pretty exciting.
