Major Spoilers is here to entertain you – to inform you, to offer up a bit of ephemera to make your crazy day a lot less insane. On days when your hosts feel overwhelmed, or frustrated, it is always nice when Spoilerites like J.J. Valentine send us something that makes us smile…
So, Spoilerites, what about Major Spoilers makes you smile?
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

Imagining all the diffrent ways Matthew will say Poll of the Week. That puts a smile on my face.
Making my point and ending with a “Kablammicus!”
Rodrigo’s Northwestern references
The inside jokes.
Understanding Matthew’s references
The inside jokes and running gags.
Occasional shirtless pics of Chris Evans?
Ma-jor Spoi-lers Theme Song! Do-do-doo, de-doo, de-doo….
All the music really, James Kennison’s song and the old “Stop talking about comic books or I’ll kill you” one are great too, but that falsetto puts a grin on my face every time I hear it. When I’m not joining in, anyway.
Anytime you guys bring up D&D it makes me smile.
When Rodrigo says “hello, future people” I can’t help but laugh every time
Hey Nice pic! That dude is one handsome guy! You guys rock and keep up the good work! My wife and I are on the hunt to rebuild the Luke Cage collection!!! Go Luke! Also gonna start looking at this Static Shock Kid!
I think an easier list would be “When does Major Spoilers NOT make me smile.” I think the top spot goes to when you all passive-aggressively insult each other.
My girlfriend who listens with me says “When Matthew goes into nerd rage it makes me laugh. And then he says something cute about his daughter, and it makes me smile. MOAR BEANWORLD!”
But that is how you know we love each other… and in all honesty, most the time it is us just goofing around… Matthew and I have known each other for so long, we know when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em – or in Matthew’s case, pick on Stephen for being bald, or fat, or old, or fill in the blank :)
“But that is how you know we love each other”
And that is why it makes me smile. Keep it up!
Whenever Legends of the Dark Knight is brought up!
You know… they never should have canceled that series.
I loved that response . . .
The regular reminders of how awesome iPad’s are… Surprised iPad 2 hasn’t been mentioned yet :)
“IT’S TIME!!!” that part doesn’t get old, and other obscure pro wrestling references
What made me smile in a happy-kind-of-sad-way was when i reheard the “Everyone was naked all the time” episode of CH, and we learn that Torq sleeps on the floor curled up as a kitten….
Soo sad, soo sweed.
The differing and fascinating backgrounds you have all come from, yet here you are expressing your love of various forms of pop culture. From comics and movies, to D&D and pro wrestling, you are not afraid to tell us why you did or did not like these various and sundry works of entertainment. I thank you for your weekly contributions to said pop culture, and hope to hear content for as long as you are able to provide it.
The Saturday theme song. It never fails. Also, the quality of the commenters on the site. If I see the same story on another site first, and I have something to say, I save it for Major Spoilers. Cause I know that’s where it’ll matter. (at least a little.)
The fact that you all seem to have rockin’ good fun, even when we know, via Rodrigo’s twitter account, that a large part of a recording session had to be redone! :) Moreover, it seems like me and some of my friends goofing around and shooting pop culture references, but actually with pop culture! :)
Anytime the adult tag is questioned by Matthew, and it isnt approved or remembered by Stephen. We then get some toned down version of a expletive.
I remember the first time I laughed out loud at Major Spoilers, when they were saying stuff like “G-D it!” But lettering the wrong word, like, H. Fuck or sommat. It made me laugh so hard.
