Transcript:
Monty: Wait! Stop! Gretch, what're you doing? Woman: You were in the restroom. I thought your pal looked like he could use a double espresso. Monty: He's a zombie! He's supposed to look like that! There's no telling how caffeine will effect him! The last thing we need is a perky, mindless zombie. Brad: I... I have an overwhelming desire to cohost something with Regis Philben! Monty: See? See what you've done?!

Egads! BTW, is Regis a zombie?
[Pedantic gloss: it should be ’affect" in panel 2, Mr. Meddick.]

A double espresso is a “doppio.” That word sounds somehow appropriate for its effect here.

Didn’t mean to enter the effect/affect fray, but …. now that I accidentally did…… Yeah, Sisyphos is right… It will effect his affect only if he doesn’t already have one, otherwise it can only affect the one he’s got.Was that effective?
Is pedantry an affectation?
Have I lost your affection?

I used to watch the Morning Rush clips until they stopped June 30.

I’m not going to worry about the effect of “effect”, because either way, it’s a perfect set-up for one of the funniest punch lines of all time!

Hey Kev! Great to see you!
Richard Strader Premium Member over 13 years ago
Now, that’s funny. It is a good payoff.

This one literally made me laugh out loud. Fantastic.

Hey Susan. I’m here (well, not on Monty) even if not seen, every day, I mean, who’d want to miss any day where you might show up.

Oh, SusanSunshine, the effect of your eviliness in wading into the effect/affect pool will only be noticed if someone is affected by your verse. .oh darn! That would be me!
