There’s only one week left until October 31st — time to panic!

Well, it’s over. Not the election, certainly, but the next two weeks will be like a piece of cake now that we’re finished with the lengthy, exhausting and frequently frustrating presidential and vice-presidential debates. Now that those are done, the process of reflection (and detoxing from all of those debate drinking games) can begin. Here are ten women-centric moments from the three presidential debates and the vice-presidential debate that made us laugh, cringe, cheer and scratch our heads.

If you could go back in time to pick up a floppy disk drive, would you want to? Exactly. And yet, there is technology all around us that persists even though other, clearly superior and mostly digital inventions have taken their place. And I take that personally. It’s the equivalent of me hanging on desperately to the phonograph. Although the phonograph will never be obsolete in my heart.

The commercial parody is not the most sophisticated form of humor out there — usually it’s some variation of the same joke over and over again — but done well, they can be very, very funny. In the last few years, especially since we some of us now spend about 17% of our workdays emailing funny videos to one another, the commercial parody has become even more widespread. Here are a few of the best.
