Have you ever loved that one movie that just gives you line after line after line of great things to say? "Give him back the beer, man." That's how you know you've seen a great movie. If you can walk out of the theater and turn to your friend and say, "How about that scene where..." and you've got five of those "how about wheres" then you've seen something good. Take Jarhead for instance. No less than 10 scenes off the top of your head as you walk out of there.
That's how you know if a TV show sucks or not as well. And that's why "Joey" will NEVER be as good as "Friends." Have you ever turned to anyone and said, "Did you see Joey last night?" No. Matt Le Blanc is funny, but not on his own. I'm BEGGING for a Chandler guest appearance.
Same goes for great games. If you can say, "I couldn't believe.." at least five times after a game you know you've seen a classic. Even touchdowns that get called back count. (See Dante Hall at Oakland Raiders 2005). Having attended a great game, your ears must be ringing in order for it to count as a great game, and there must be at least two jaw dropping plays. (See Jacque Vaughn vs. UCLA, Kevin Ross vs. John L. Williams, etc.)
Politics is a little bit trickier. You should not vote for a candidate if on more than one occassion you've said, "Can you believe he said..." If this is followed by laughing and cutting up you definitely don't want to be voting for him. (See "Want to buy some wood?" Presidential Debate 2004).
JKL Man, JKL.
