it's a living
Was thinking that, given how long the Running Gag section is, and how it overlaps with both Call-Back and Shout-Out — maybe it would be worth splitting into its own page at this point? With subsections of running gags that are also Shout-Outs, Call-Backs to previously-run movies, and then just the running gags that, like Catchphrase, are original to the show. Thoughts?

Not the worst idea. On a similar note, we should decide whether references to past riffs should be a Call-Back or a Continuity Nod. The entries on episode recap pages will go back-and-forth depending on the episode.
Yeah, we really need to nail down the difference. A Call-Back drives plot, so I think that should cover the references to in-series characterization, stuff that happens as part of the host segments (even if it occasionally overflows into the theatre). A Continuity Nod is just a general reference, so I think repeated riffs should go there. It was confusing, because it feels like outside this site it's the other way around? In comedy, for instance, a callback is often pretty throwaway, while Continuity Nod specifically has continuity in the name. But that's a nitpick.
With the reboot having just premiered, I think it might be prudent to either divide the main page into "Original Run" and "2017 Reboot" sections, as it'll become very messy editing otherwise.

Rooster Teeth's Theater Mode doesn't really deserve mention on this page, as it is ultimately just a crappy rip-off of the concept which fails to be funny time and time again.

It belongs on here every bit as much as any other "inspired by" work does.
Which is to say "not really," but we shouldn't pick and choose based on perceived quality.

What's up with the main cuts? the High Octane Nightmare Fuel pages should've been cu instead and Terraria's Analysis page.

Main/-to-work redirects are no longer acceptable. We are phasing them out.

But what about the High Octane Nightmare Fuel pages? I think they have a greater cut priority over the Main-to-work-redirects.
I have no idea what you're saying.

^^That only means you need to Cut List them.

How am I supposed to Cut List an entire namespace type that is just a redirect?

By cutlisting each single article.

I Think we should add No Export for you to the page, As the show has never officially aired outside of the united states.
There are now DV Ds available of this published in sets of four to five episodes. I'm not sure if every episode is available, but several are.

Nowhere near every episode. Still qualifies for Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Did anyone have a major Dude, Not Funny! moment when watching Red Zone Cuba? I don't just mean the movie, but the whole notion of Dr. Forrester being beaten nearly to death? I know, it's just a show, but still... it was like a moment of Reality Ensues in an otherwise comedic series...
