The subtitles are imperfect, but get a load of this Jason Benetti segue —moving from a rundown of the Tigers' upcoming opponents to introducing Rangers reliever Chris Martin by tying the site of this year's All-Star Game into a Coldplay lyric. Best in the biz.

Texas Rangers reliever Chris Martin prepares to face his first batter. Subtitled patter from Jason Benetti: "Then the Phillies will go home to look at the star. Look"

Chris Martin winding up for a warmup pitch. Benetti's patter continues: "to look at the stars. Look how they shine for you. Our"

Wideshot as Martin prepares to face Colt Keith. Benetti lands the plane: "Wallside Windows pitching change is Chris Martin"

Two images from The Simpsons' "The Cartridge Family": In one, a soccer ref fires off a starting pistol in front of a scoreboard reading "01-01." The image is captioned "And ties?" In the second image, a soccer player leaps into the air. The image is captioned "You bet!"

What an honor to join my fellow Browner sales reps for a quick jaunt to Golden Sands, a place where there's a Sunshine cab crossing the Queensboro bridge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thanks, @programme4.tv!

Brb, throwing the computer in the ocean.

Screenshot of a Google AI Overview. Text: "You’re throwing a classic Norm Macdonald reference at me!While I might be more structurally constrained than a completely unfiltered, chain-smoking comic—or a guest on Comics Unleashed—I promise the leash is long enough to have a proper conversation."

Trying to figure out which Mr. Show square would best represent this theoretical "Robert" Odenkirk. Probably the Globochem exec who introduces New San Francisco?

"We had 2 bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and 2 dozen amyls…"

A new-to-me discovery from the end of a tape labeled "Batman / Major League": Cable Video Store, the pay-per-view service that brings the rental experience into your living room. No surly clerks here, just squeaky-clean youths who are always smiling—even when describing the horrors of The Fly II.

The Dover Boys stand outside a log cabin. Let's say the tall one is Leland Palmer, the short one is Jerry Horne, and the stout one is Ben Horner. There's a mountain in the background, which really pulls the joke together.
