Adam Riff™ Clip of the Week

23. Q (Fantasmas, S01E01)


Stray Observations

  • "Before I took this job, I was a professional actor for a long time, and so I still dabble in it. Here's me as Shrek." (Ren Faire, S01E01)
  • "I have to take Viagra and Cialis, and I have to have a shot of testosterone once a week. And I'll tell you, that works. And if you get a shot every week, you can have an erection until you die. And that's my goal. And if I really, really wanted to die the perfect way, it would be to have a woman screw me to death, and that should end of it, and I would just be dead. That would be the perfect way to go, other than sodium pentothal." (Ren Faire, S01E01)


(Clipped, S01E02)

  • "Elgin Baylor, arguably one of the top 10 players ever in the NBA, and he's the first dude to ever really play above the rim. And then he went to the Clippers' front office for a long time. Today, with a discount pork cutlet in his basket, he looked like he'd had a curse put on him." (Clipped, S01E02)

Inspired or creatively bankrupt?

Hmm…

Is the incorporated Roman numeral IX larger so it doesn't read as "Resident Evil X"? In which case, I would just use an Arabic numeral 9.

Do you think Capcom kicks itself for missing the opportunity to incorporate a Roman number VI for RE6? It's the cleanest incorporation.

Which came first: The decision to set RE8 in a village, or a way to incorporate a Roman numeral VIII in its title?

Capcom also could have split the L in "Evil" into two Roman numeral Is, à la Scream VI:

What words feature "IX" in them?

Resident Evil Helix.

Steak tartare quesadilla?

Is it filled with raw meat, like fried ice cream?

No, it's raw meat on a bed of cheese.

I book a table to try this steak tartare quesadilla.

Server: Uh… Have you ever had our steak tartare?
Jon: Years ago, and not on a quesadilla.
Server: Okay…

Our server begins walking away and then U-turns.

Server: I'm sorry. I can't let you order the steak tartare quesadilla. It's disgusting. It'll make you sick. We're taking it off the menu.

It pains me to heed her advice.

Ty: We can make it at home.
Jon: Home-made steak tartare?
Ty: Order steak tartare to go from somewhere. Spread it on a quesadilla. Bone apple tea. It's not like that fancy carpaccio I tried. Probably cheaper than $32 too.


That fancy carpaccio.

Ty: Steak tartare quesadilla challenge.

Jon: Steak tartare Crunchwrap Supreme?
Jon: No, steak tartare Mexican Pizza! Raw beef on a bed of ground beef.

Ty: Panera Charged Ceviche.
