Sweet 'n' sketchy

I tried to write something witty and insightful about this article, but the Onion AV Club does a pretty good job of explaining themselves. At the very least, they're snarky, which if I've learned anything from reading blogs 24-7 for the last six years, is extremely important. So if you want a way to waste an hour, check out their list of the 9 "TV Sketch comedy bits that should have inspired recurring characters." The list is phenomenal and inspired a great deal of nostalgia within my loins... (loins?), but the premise seems a bit wanting. Because there's nothing like having a character show up in just a slight variation of their previous situation to turn a well thought-out skit into way overdone. Even a sketch that runs on a little too long can leave a bad taste in my mouth. So yeah, these sketches are phenom, but maybe once was enough.
