Someone needs to make a Spaceman montage for Youtube.

water cooler gag was so lame
― slow lorax (k3vin k.), Monday, 4 May 2009 19:12 (seventeen years ago)
The only fault I had with the water cooler gag was that Ellen did it on her sitcom much better almost 15 years ago.

Seinfeld did it too. Between that and the Cosby-sweater I was wondering if the episode was full of sitcom references & tropes. Since no one's pointed out anything else, I suppose not.

On Friends, Ross had a monkey the very first season.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 4 May 2009 19:31 (seventeen years ago)
Maybe it was a secret ode to "Must See TV" past?
On Friends, Chandler farted ("The One Where Chandler Farted")On Wings, Joe went to a bachelor party ("A Stand Up Kind of Guy")On Cheers, Sam had a nutsack (multiple episodes)

Any Golden Girls episodes where Blanche dated a man who was married because he could drive his own car?

"The One Where Chandler Farted"
LOL

On Cheers, Sam had a nutsack (multiple episodes)seems like such a woody thing!

This reminds me. They need to find a way to bring back Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer back for reprisal guest spots.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 4 May 2009 19:47 (seventeen years ago)
If they could get the entire "Friends" cast back on the same episode, I would lol at their mastery of logistics.

Alan Alda's listed as the guest star.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 4 May 2009 19:53 (seventeen years ago)
Which, if that's how it turns out, will be hilarious because I can almost guarantee Jack's made an Alan Alda joke at some point over the last 3 seasons.

the thing where buscemi looks likes he's going to get into a car but instead mounts a bicycle located just behind was pretty tropey, too.
― slugbuggy, Monday, 4 May 2009 20:55 (seventeen years ago)
Psst guys, sometimes its just a lazily written joek and not a reference to 'sitcom x' tropes.

they did the 'Jesus' joke again in the previous episode. "You're gonna be tempted like Jesus in the wilderness...Jesus is my stereo guy and The Wilderness is a club I took him to once"

That one must have been self-conscious though!
― Dan I., Tuesday, 5 May 2009 02:55 (seventeen years ago)
ya it must be a reference to the way sitcoms repeat themselves... so smart
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 04:13 (seventeen years ago)
possible a reference to "jesus" in the bible as well?? what a great show.
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 13:59 (seventeen years ago)
They should do a show where Liz recycles a bunch of jokes to meet a deadline that is full of recycled jokes and plotlines.

i just want to know what kind of water cooler ~doesn't~ work the way the one on the show does.
― i like to fart and i am crazy (gbx), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 15:02 (seventeen years ago)
all of them. The water doesn't come out of the bottle until the seal is broken on a nob on top of the cooler where it is put on to. So she couldn't possibly spill it on herself unless she put it on and then took it back off. Which she doesn't do.

everyone shut up about water bottles
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 15:11 (seventeen years ago)
ok, maybe you have crazy water coolers in America. Good luck USA.
― Suggesteban Cambiasso (jim), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 15:11 (seventeen years ago)
But if we really want to get into the details of this... a dude I work with had never changed a water bottle before and had to replace one a couple weeks ago. Now knowing how to do it, he actually pulled the seal off before putting it on the holder, spilling quite a bit of water in the process.
― homage is parody gone sour (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 15:11 (seventeen years ago)
jim is right
good luck usa
― zinguist (cozwn), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 15:11 (seventeen years ago)
i must have spent literally years doing it wrong then---i was instructed that you broke the seal first, and then had to carefully put the thing on top, like putting oil in yr car

really want to make a painfully-labored "don't break the seal!" joke but can't make it really come together

older water coolers didn't have the little punchy-thingy that allowed you to mount the jug without spillage. newer ones do. and jesus is a refrence to the Big Lebowski (steve buscemi - cummon people!)
