The Simpsons is the best cartoon show of all time

Number one, no-brainer, Simpsons. Best cartoon show of all time. Even though there were only like seven or eight awesome seasons of it, those seven or eight seasons were good enough to justify like 50 years of shit.

Artistic quality is subjective.

The Rock is exactly as great as you imagine him to be

He's great, man. He's everything you imagine and want him to be. It's very satisfying. He often gets himself into pickles just like we do, but he's like such a magnetic dude that he'll get himself out of it easier than we can.

This is a first-hand character assessment.

Chevy Chase ruined the reputation of comedy sets for everyone

I think comedy shows have that reputation [of being competitive or mean] because of Saturday Night Live. Chevy Chase ruined it for everyone. Chevy Chase was such a colossal dickhead. He ruined everything. Everything since then, everyone's like, oh, you have to be a dickhead to be in this show business.

While well-documented by others, this is Corddry's opinion and industry observation.

Watching the Real Housewives and the OC is okay

I'm a little more grown up, I do happen to watch and enjoy from time to time the Real Housewives series. Only the New York. Atlanta? I like Atlanta. Crazy. Countess? Crazy.

This is a personal preference.

Rachel McAdams is the number one wifey material

I think that's the meanest thing you can say to a girl because Rachel McAdams is like the number one wifey material. Like she is. Like you'd rather your boyfriend say like your friend looks like a porn star or like some crazy model or something like that. But Rachel McAdams like in Wedding Crashers. Oof, Marron.

This is entirely a matter of personal and comedic opinion.

Jimmy Garoppolo dating a porn star is like a pro-am for sex

Jimmy Garoppolo is so confident in his sex abilities, he's doing a pro-am right now. He's playing with a pro... Jordan reached the mountaintop in his chosen profession and then he chose to go try to compete against the best in another profession.

If you name your kid Blake, he is guaranteed to win at least one reality TV competition in his life.

If you name your kid Blake, you do so knowing for a fact that he will win at least one reality TV competition in his life.

The Bachelorette contestant Blake Horstmann did not win Becca's season, but did appear on several spinoffs. This is a satirical generalization.

We need more 'dog art' because it appeals to both dumb and high-level brains

My drunk idea is... dog art. We need more dog art. Art with dogs in it. Everyone would buy that. It's the art that dumb brains can buy and high-level brains can buy, so I think we need to corner the market on dog art. Dogs doing everything. Let's take all the classic works of art and instead put dogs in them. Mona Lisa, but it's a German Shepherd.

The Challenge is the number one reality show of all time

My number one reality show of all time is The Challenge. I have seen pretty much every season. I watched it when I was young, I watch it now. It never gets old. TJ Lavin never gets old.

Cops is a top-tier reality show because of its unique hook and short format

My first one is going to be Cops. Cops is a classic. I also like the format of it. It's short, and it hooks you in. One thing they do when they play a marathon of Cops, right when the end credit of Bad Boys by Inner Circle is done, the start of Bad Boys by Inner Circle just hits immediately.

Jersey Shore revolutionized reality television and is a top-tier show

The Real World is the 'granddaddy' of reality shows and a top-tier pick

I'm going to go with Real World. So the granddaddy of them all, Real World was great. Especially shout out to the Hawaii season. I remember watching... it always has a special spot in my heart. I do think it is the Godfather show.

Survivor is the most popular and broadly watched reality show of all time

Cheaters with Joey Greco is one of the greatest reality shows ever

I'm going to go with Cheaters. With Joey Greco. Listen, Cheaters was a goat. Joey Greco got stabbed, breaking up a couple that was getting into a fight. The best was before he would go and catch the Cheaters, he would be hiding out, literally sometimes around a corner or behind a dumpster, and he'd be like, those are the Cheaters right there.

To Catch a Predator was one of the most entertaining shows of all time

My last one, I feel like I'm going to sound like a fucked up person for this, but To Catch a Predator was one of the most entertaining shows of all time. All time moment, the guy who spilled the margarita in the backyard... It's a fucked up show, but hard not to watch.

Russell Wilson is currently 'killing the sexy dance game'

Russell Wilson is absolutely killing the sexy dance game and dancing with Ciara... So he did a video with Ciara doing this little weird dance and he stole the show. So you would think, oh, Ciara, she's a professional performer. She's got moves. False. Russell Wilson was in the background killing it.

This is a subjective opinion on dance quality, but the video was a major social media moment at the time.

Jesus is the greatest comeback ever because he got crossed up and came back three days later

My first one is going to be Jesus... Jesus got crossed up, came back three days later. Pretty impressive. Saved all of humanity. So a little disrespectful on your guys' account, not picking Jesus, number one.

This is a theological/historical opinion delivered as a joke.

Liverpool is the Baltimore of England

Liverpool was a dark place, burning itself down. A bit like Baltimore. It's the Baltimore of England. ... And when I grew up, it was burning itself down under Margaret Thatcher.

Stephen A. Smith's claim of being a 'bottom feeder' is problematic for not respecting the whole woman

Stephen A. Smith, problematic is the fact that you don't respect women because you should be boobs, butt, and brain. Three Bs. That's the original Big Baller brand. Why are you putting, a woman's body should be put on a pedestal?

This is a comedic segment mocking a sports media personality's TMI moment.

Darren Rovell officially killed 69 jokes

Rovell has caught on... He did it on the Browns to win the Super Bowl, $6.90. And get this, the ticket writer laughed no less than three times... This is like when your parents figure out how to text emojis... it just kind of all loses its luster.

The joke certainly felt dead to the PMT audience once Rovell tweeted it.

Miss America is no longer a beauty pageant if it removes the bikini portion

It's also ridiculous that a beauty pageant is no longer being judged on beauty. That's where we're at.

The organization rebranded as 'Miss America 2.0' specifically to move away from the 'pageant' label.

Draymond Green should get credit for the dress shorts look, not LeBron

Shorts are definitely back. But [LeBron] got co-opted by Draymond Green. Green showed up in some dress shorts, too. I think that's the new look. It's like ACDC chic. Draymond said that he should be getting credit for shorts, not LeBron.

Purely a matter of fashion opinion and credit for a short-lived trend.

There should be a reality show called 'Racism Island' for people fired for racism like Roseanne Barr

Everyone who loses a job for being racist, like Roseanne Barr... should go on a reality show together. They should make a reality show called Racism Island... and then you take all the money that the show generates, and then you donate it to make a scholarship fund for minorities.

This show has never been made, though many parody concepts exist.

The best Hall of Fame strategy is to tell them to purposely mess up your plaque so it goes viral

If you ever get inducted into a Hall of Fame, tell them to purposely fuck up your plaque to start... have it go viral and then they'll fix it. But everyone talked about you.

In the attention economy, this logic is sound, but it's ultimately an opinion on strategy.

A Chrissy Teigen and John Legend divorce would melt down Twitter

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. It would be incredible. It's like sometimes I sit up at night being like, if they got divorced, I think I'd stay up for a week straight on a meth binge just looking at Twitter and getting high off that.

Tom Brady looked like a 'plastic weird doll' at the Met Gala

Meek Mill going to prison was actually great PR because it made everyone forget that Drake murdered him in a rap beef

The movie 'Boner Dogs' will be a success if it creates plot holes for fans to find

Listen, we're going to go with 'Boner Dogs' because the way to get a successful movie is to get on that website where they're like, there's a plot hole here.

Mark Zuckerberg is definitely a robot and failed his attempt to look human in front of Congress

He looked like a robot. Like full... If Mark Zuckerberg's sole attempt was to try to persuade people that he's not a bad guy... he failed terribly. He did because he looked like a robot. He had a terrible suit. He had a bowl cut... He just looked exactly like I would expect a robot to look.

We could make money by starting fake death rumors for celebrities that claim they died the same week as David Bowie.

I feel like fake deaths could make a big comeback. And if we just anchor all of our fake deaths on saying, yeah, he died the same week as David Bowie, so no one remembered... Oprah died... two days before David Bowie. So no one got buried.

Clearly a joke and not a real business plan.

Professional wrestling is just as 'real' as professional sports because both are forms of entertainment that people become obsessed with

I think wrestling's real. So wrestling runs a lot of parallels with sport. People get lost and obsessed in sport. Sport is merely a game. ... And what we do is just an exhibition to try to drum up the same fanatical response.

This is a philosophical interpretation of what 'real' means in the context of fan engagement.

Donte DiVincenzo's old tweets aren't problematic because he was only 13

Dante DiVincenzo... some of the tweets are deemed problematic. Now, I want to make it very clear. I don't think any of these are problematic. ... It's also a 13-year-old that, like, is stupid. And if you remember when you were 13, you were a dumb fuck, too.

Shark Week sucks until they show a shark eating a human being

Until they show me a shark eating a human being, I will not watch Shark Week... I still think I saw through the fraud of Shark Week... they told me they found Megalodon and they got me all wet and didn't fuck me.

Watching porn is like spending time in the film room for baseball players

If I'm a baseball team, I would probably think about going the other way... When you're having sex... what do they tell you to think about? Think about baseball. So actually, the more porn you watch, it's like putting in more time in the film room thinking about baseball.

This is a satirical joke and cannot be factually verified.

Meryl Streep is the Derek Jeter of acting — she gets nominated just on name recognition alone

Is Meryl Streep the new Derek Jeter? Is Meryl Streep just getting voted into the All-Star game out of name alone?... Her range isn't what it used to be. When you lose your range, it goes quickly. And you know what? She won't change positions either.
