Mortified! Episode 151: Best of 100-150

It's clip show time! Please enjoy the best of Mortified over the last 50 episodes! I think it's a great smorgasbord of silly bits, personal anecdotes, and genuinely good media criticism. Can't wait for the next 50!
Notably I did not include the Way of Water episode because that cannot be removed from its original context, if you want to see how the Avatar watch saga concludes, just listen to Ep 127.
