   (Well, aprt from the fact that Michael really IS as much of a

   For the open-minded and uncommitted, the proof of the test is in the   
   host-segments:   
   Joel-era segments noticed the movie enough to make scene-specific fun of   
   it..   
   While, on those rare occasions the Mike-era segments *didn't* have the   
   camera jammed up their own subplot/backstory-obsessed hinders, they   
   either A) exploited random pop-culture-stuff-that-bugs-me anecdotes, or   
   B) fourth-walled sketches about how lame and overused their sketch   
   concepts were.
