The Rio Olympics PR company is doing a great job because they successfully used a terrorist cell to get brand impressions
The Olympics, their PR company is just knocking it out of the park still, coming up with all sorts of unique visitors and brand impressions on people with all these scandals going on. They thwarted a 10-person terrorist cell. What? That's all the terrorists, so no more of them... My understanding is there are banners saying that police officers don't get paid in Rio. But somehow these guys were working for free and they broke up a major terrorist plot. So hats off.
Parents name their kids Harper to falsely signal that they are well-read
My first one is Harper. I think a lot of people are naming their kids Harper. The reason this one makes me mad is it's kind of like a fake I'm really into book's name.

Wikipedia should win every Pulitzer Prize because it contains every book

Pokemon Go is a microcosm of many things in life because it's about the chase
Here's the deal about Pokemon. And it's kind of a microcosm of a lot of things in your life. I mean, you chase the Pokemon. You throw the ball at the Pokemon. Great catch. Got one or whatever. Look at it in your inventory. Show it to your buddy. And it's like, let's go catch another Pokemon, dude.

I don't think that Russell Wilson had sex last night. I don't think he had sex on his wedding night. Who has time to have sex on your wedding night? ... I think Russell Wilson's overcompensating a little bit. Like if you get late on your wedding night, who goes out there the next day and is like, I had sex on my wedding night. That doesn't happen.

I cannot stand his [Verlander's] girlfriend because of what she did... She was at a game, and she refused to sign autographs for a girl in a wheelchair who was disabled, and it was her birthday because she said, 'I'm not signing.' ...

Russell Wilson's sex with Ciara on their wedding night will be fast and furious because of his long celibacy
Russell has not had sex in a long time. He's not going to be, how shall we put, he's not going to be gentle with you. He's not going to last long. Silver lining. Spin zone. It's going to be fast. It's going to be furious. It's not going to be fun. Russell is going to be having sex like somebody who can get shot at any time.
Rick Reilly is wrong to say a third breast is unappealing; I think there's something attractive about it
To say that there's nothing at all attractive about having a third boob, I'm going to disagree with you [Rick Reilly]. I think that there's something attractive. We could debate this maybe, but it seems like Rick is really going out on a limb by saying that. I think that he's wrong.

The Crying Jordan meme has become 'problematic' because it mocks masculine vulnerability
Turns out there's an element of flawed masculinity at play. You have a masculine star who expresses vulnerability, and people simultaneously mock and celebrate that. So you think you're having some harmless fun on the Internet? Turns out you're a sexist, and you're basically saying guys can't cry.
The Spelling Bee stinks now because it tries too hard to be 'millennial-friendly'
I'm a spelling bee purist... I kind of like some of the new stuff that they're doing to try to draw on the millennial. No, they're trying to be too cute. It's too cute. They're having the kids dab. I like the cutthroat. I like the competitiveness. I like the pressure where you know these 12-year-olds, if they get this word wrong, their whole entire life is going to be crushed.

Here's a hot take about Drake, but I truly believe this. Drake sucks. Drake is not good... There's nothing good about Drake... Old Drake, before he became a musician, was good [on Degrassi].
Album releases should go back to Tuesdays
Whatever happened in the good old days where you could, like, everybody released their albums on Tuesday. You could prepare yourself mentally, financially, save up enough money where you could go to Best Buy and buy the album on Tuesday. It was a handshake agreement, and it was much better.

The drug option is the best way to survive Coachella as a 30-year-old
If you go to Coachella for the first time as a 31 year old... you either go all the way [becoming a Coachella guy] or you just like totally tune out via the drug option. I think I would go drug option right now.

If you are going to cheat on someone, you should cheat on Iggy Azalea
If you're going to cheat on somebody, you should cheat on Iggy. But I think that that's one of those relationships that's probably in the public eye. It benefits both of them. It's a symbiotic relationship. I wouldn't think that it's one that's really, like, organic.
Quentin Tarantino thinks he isn't racist because he uses the N-word so frequently in his films
I feel like Tarantino is going down that route where he's like he's used the N word so many times that he's not racist. Like he's one of the good white guys because he's not afraid to use the N word in his like period pieces because he's technically making fun of the racist from those periods.

I'm sorry for Gary Shandling's passing. So he did say sorry, but he did not make me laugh even one... time. And Larry Sanders stank. Strictly a media pet.
I am officially done with Bill Murray
I've reached the point where, like, I'm sick of Bill Murray just showing up to stuff. It used to be for the last five years he would just, like, show up somewhere and you'd be expected to laugh... now it's to the point where, okay, Bill, we get it. Like, you show up places where you're not invited sometimes. I don't think it's fun anymore.

The 'Suh Dude' trend is worthy of respect because of its commitment to laziness

In honor of 311, I'm going to talk about overrated bands.

And they have maybe one or two songs that I will not change the radio station to. But overall, I would say that 311 is, even when you're high, 311 is one of the top five most overrated bands of all time.
Oasis is an overrated band because they were just confusing the marketplace by ripping off the Beatles
My one overrated band, I'm going with Oasis because I honestly – you want to talk about copyright infringement? I thought Oasis were the Beatles for a really long time. So I'm saying Oasis. They clearly were trying to rip off the Beatles and make everyone – they were confusing the marketplace. And I don't appreciate that.
Michael Jordan is the worst-dressed rich person in the world

Harrison Ford's earring is the most 'try hard' accessory in life
Number two is Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford is a try hard earring. His earring is the most try hard, it's the worst. And, and he, he seems like such a dick too. And like you can't, I can't believe that he has gone this far in life without having somebody say, dude, rip that shit out.
