I love the idea of a labor union for villains. One of favorite lines, "Help, I'm caught in a cliche"

Episodes devoted to villain-good guy collective bargaining. Chef's kiss.

It was a fantastic series that, despite being cancelled, ended in a pitch perfect manner.

My buddy got me a cameo for Xmas from James Urbaniak who seemed like such a nice guy.

When I taught kids, I would often use the borrowed phrase "We're getting waylaid by jackassery"
