Any movie made before 1990 sucks

Any movie that's made before 1990 can just piss right off because I don't care about it... It's movies with subtitles and movies that are either black [and white].

Video games and social media have killed the camaraderie and road life of modern wrestlers

The guys nowadays... pretty much stayed to themselves. A lot of video games, a lot of stuff like that. Social media is tough. The guys don't go out like they used to. It's just different times... it's a different time. And the scrutiny of social media... we all have fun but it's in a place where we're safe from scrutiny.

I've never been with a woman in the wrestling business

I've never been with a wrestling girl. Never, no... and then all of a sudden they want a favor, and I don't like when it holds it back... Don't crap where you eat.

This is a personal claim that contradicts many industry rumors over decades, but it remains his stated position.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's only job is to tweet nerd shit

By the way, you know what Neil's job is? Just to tweet nerd shit. To just look at stars, right? His job is to stand inside a planetarium with a laser pointer.

While Tyson is a public communicator of science, he is an astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium, not just a Twitter personality.

The Starbucks green cup controversy proves that 'coastal elites' don't understand real Americans

Jeff Fisher's fashion sense is stuck in the early 2000s NBA 'Double-XL Tall T' movement

I think he really caught on, like, the early 2000s in, like, the double XL tall T movement and just, like, never really moved on. Always wearing sunglasses indoors and stuff, wearing big old T's. I think he's pretty, like, he's pretty hood, actually... He's like early 2000s NBA.

Visual evidence of Fisher's oversized apparel generally supports this humorous characterization.

LeBron's leadership and teammates calling Tristan Thompson 'Tris Kardashian' caused his breakup with Khloe

LeBron's leadership... people on the team were calling him Tris Kardashian, and you can't have that sort of fraction in the locker room. [LeBron's] crime syndicate is to blame for this.

Talent shows are ruined by forcing contestants to have sad backstories.

Ken Bone should immediately cash in and do a 'Prego porn' video

Ken is definitely going to get some propositions from a porn company to be like, hey... do you want to do some Prego porn? And you got to do it. Cash in. Just got to cash in.

Ken Bone did not do porn; he largely faded into obscurity after his 15 minutes of fame.

The 2016 creepy clown sightings are a viral marketing stunt for the movie 'It'

What's behind all of this is that Stephen King's movie It is coming out in a couple months. They're doing a remake of it. That's it then.

While it was a popular theory, New Line Cinema and the producers of 'It' denied any involvement in the sightings.

The creepy clown sightings across the US are fake videos staged for views

I really dove into the clowns. They're all fake. It's all videos of people recording themselves driving. When in your life have you recorded yourself driving? It's them trying to turn around, freaking out like a bear is coming at them, and then the video stops right before the clown comes at the door. Until the clowns take action, I'm woke.

Most 'creepy clown' videos during this period were indeed staged or viral marketing attempts.

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.

The security concerns in Rio were real, making PFT's satirical praise for their 'PR' very sharp.

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.
