The Tommy Lee Jones of browsers

"Chrome is the Tommy Lee Jones of browsers. Effective hero, yes. But does the guy ever get kissed by the leading lady?"

The McLovin of halftime performances

"What’s weird about Nipplegate is the way it obscured our memory of the remaining, fairly impressive slew of musicians. It was like the McLovin’ of Halftime performances."

The Natalie Portman of Israeli politics

"Here's a fun fact: Ariel Sharon's birth name was actually Ariel Scheinermann. So that means that even in Israel, celebrities change their names to sound less Jewy. He was the Natalie Portman of Israeli politics. Well, is. See? I still forget."

The Tom Brady of collecting belly button lint

"Oh, sure. Go ahead and mock this guy. But he’s the best in the world at what he does. The BEST. In the WORLD. And how many people can say that? He’s the Tom Brady of collecting belly button lint. What UB is to soft core porn or Dalton is to being a cooler, Barker is to bizarre, worthless, mentally unstable hobbies."

The Christina Hendricks of spuds

"That said, if they fuck this one up, there will be consequences. Cloud Atlas is certainly in my top 10 for books, maybe in my top 5 (on a good day). I know that, in the past, I've threatened consequences for things like Harry Potter (ha!), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the newer Pride and Prejudice (worst. movie. ever.). But that's small potatoes compared to this, the Christina Hendricks of spuds."

The Donald Duck of petty crimes

"So just how do you get arrested 154 times without going to jail for your whole life? Keep your offenses small. Baldwin’s been nicked in the past for eight trespass notices, 75 citations, having four Social Security aliases, as well as convictions for thefts, receiving stolen property, arson and criminal mischief. Baldwin is like the Donald Duck of petty crimes!"
