Andy Rooney Accidentally Plagiarizes 1981 SNL Parody Of Himself

Andy Rooney Did That Thing Again

Sigh. We all love Andy Rooney, but these "Must fill two minutes with random sentences tenuously connected by a common word" columns are ridiculous. This one isn't quite as bizarre as 3/01/09, but close: "Because I've been counting I know...  CONTINUE READING ANDY ROONEY DID THAT THING AGAIN»

3/01/09: The Day Andy Rooney Ran Out Of Things To Complain About

We all love Andy Rooney. That's a given. And we've all watched and noted, in recent years, that Andy Rooney seems to have, either due to advanced age or simply a dearth of annoying things in the world, begun to...  CONTINUE READING 3/01/09: THE DAY ANDY ROONEY RAN OUT OF THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT»

Andy Rooney Gets His Hair Brushed

Being Andy Rooney isn't all glitz, glamor, and poorly-designed umbrellas. Before the last ungraciously mocked fan gift is laid out on Andy's desk, he's forced to have his hair brushed by someone forced to brush his hair: It isn't the...  CONTINUE READING ANDY ROONEY GETS HIS HAIR BRUSHED»

Andy Rooney Says What No One Else Is Ever Thinking

Have you ever noticed how Andy Rooney is old and kind of nonsensical. I do love his powerful essay about how he has four different cheese cutters in his kitchen because his wife keeps buying cheese cutters, a topic that...  CONTINUE READING ANDY ROONEY SAYS WHAT NO ONE ELSE IS EVER THINKING»
