It’s gotten a little heavy around here this week. It’s only Wednesday, and we’ve already touched on issues like racial diversity, political bias in entertainment, and television’s influence on important social issues. For the most part, this is just the way the TV news has worked out over the last couple days, but I do think these are all discussion that are worth having. That said, I suppose this would be a good time for us all to take a step back and focus on something a little lighter and less controversial — like, for example, “Community” star Alison Brie performing a cover of “Rich Girl” by Hall & Oates. It might also be a good opportunity for me to type a bunch of words like ALISON BRIE HOT LEGS SHORT DRESS STAGE GIRLS HALL OATES PERFORMANCE COMMUNITY CANCELED MAYBE MAD MEN RABBITS PLAYING TENNIS AVENGERS DARK KNIGHT SPOILERS FREE BEER TEBOW and let the pageviews roll in for a little while. I think that would be the prudent thing to do.
In conclusion, Alison Brie remains adorable and Oates had a pretty dope mustache (see below). Have a great day.

I’m so happy that enough years have passed that I can stop pretending I don’t like Hall and Oates, and start pretending that I like them ironically.
Seconded
WHERE ARE THE RABBITS PLAYING TENNIS?!
Ms. Brie’s heartfelt commentary on the indifferent rich and their evident corruption really opened my eyes. Was this perchance taped at an Occupy rally?
heheheehehehhehe.
Comments like this make me wish Warming Glow had a film drunk style “Comments of the week”
I just melted in my chair and I fear I might leave a stain.
I just left a stain, but it wasn’t in my chair.
Also, if you like ladies singing Hall & Oates, I highly recommend The Bird & The Bee’s album of Hall & Oates covers.
Word.
Girl I have been looking for this album for three years now because I forgot the name of the band. Thank you.
Like.
As youtube commenter Internationale7 said, “Hall and Oates were never the same after Keyboard Cat left” One of the greats: [www.youtube.com]
I truly believe that if Brie asked North Carolina to lift the ban on gay marriage, they’d do it. She’s just so magical!
*swoons*
Is Brie being backed up there by Hipster Batman?
“That Oates fella looks vaguely ethnic, let’s have Fred Armisen play him.”
-Lorne Michaels
(This belongs in Filmdrunk but still)
That Hall & Oates picture is missing a “Prepare Your Anus” caption
wow can she really sing? or am I just being blinded by how cute she is? Because I think she’s doing a great job singing here.
“Boo boop be do, SEX!”
Patton Oswalt has a great bit that if “I Want A Famous Face” were around in the 80′s, there’d be so many people running around looking like John Oats.
I want to marry Alison Brie.
Look at all those white people! This is worse than Girls!!
