Does Black-ish Season 1 Stereotype African Americans?
Black-ish season one is like getting an MBA in Black-ish ideology. More than just Black culture, the issues of assimilation that Andre's family deal with are a part of every foreign culture's struggle to adapt to an ever changing society that tends to stereotype our differences. Ironically the battle to maintain identity, for Andre, is more often an individual and inward focused endeavor, than something that those around him see or feel.

Greatest Quotes by Famous Geeks
Geeks were talking like Jedis log before George Lucas thought of Star Wars Yoda speak. Stereotypes aside, geeks often are people who have a hard time fitting in to any one particular category. Not surprisingly they can become obsessed with multiple intellectual interests. Anti social only to the degree that many other people don't seem particularly interesting.

Funniest 'South Park' Randy Marsh Scenes
We should all thank the divine forces that led Trey Parker and Matt Stone to decide to further develop some of the characters that weren’t so involved in first few seasons of South Park, because that decision brought us the funniest Randy Marsh scenes. Before this happened, Randy was just Stan’s dad and not much more, having only the occasional screen time without catching the attention of the viewers. Thankfully, the creators of South Park realized the potential in Randy’s character and he quickly became an integral part of this hilarious animated TV show. South Park is still airing, so even though we tried our best to choose some of the funniest South Park Randy Marsh scenes, there sure are many that we just couldn’t include since Randy is one of the funniest characters in the show.

Where Would Darth Vader Go on Vacation?
Different people worry about different things. Families, careers, life goals, yada yada. Occasionally we worry about “trivial” things, too. Why didn’t Obi-Wan remember R2-D2 in A New Hope? Exactly how long did Luke spend training on Dagobah in Empire Strikes Back?There’s lots of things to consider when it comes to Star Wars, and consider them, I do.

Best Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Tales
What makes the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors Tales so scary is that this stuff can come out of the mind of Matthew "Matt" Groening. He is a comedic genius, artist and probably really rich. I decided to take a look back at some of the past Simpsons’ Halloween offerings that still have me laughing to this day.

Deadliest Movie Sharks
You either love sharks or they scare the crap out of you. But if you’re like me, sharks both scare and intrigue you. Like me, many people are fascinated not only by a shark’s beauty, but also by the badassery predator instincts they have. In celebration of this year’s shark movie The Shallows, where our worst nightmares come alive of getting stranded on a rock in the middle of an shark waters are told by actress Blake Lively, we are honoring the best ‘sharkplotation’ movies of all time. The following movies will either make you never want to go in the water again or make you laugh your ass off due to the sheer plot absurdity.
