I don't know how Danny Pudi works as the lead in his own show as opposed to a zany supporting character, but I sure am interested to see him try. The premise sounds kind of cool and edgy and Nightvale-y too.
So I was looking on Netflix for something kind of campy and zero-calorie to watch while I did my laundry and…wow, I have to say this show is absolutely not that at all. It started off kind of ridiculous but quickly took a turn into something genuinely compelling and I'm really impressed at their command over a lot of…
Yeah, Jake's face after Amy admitted she kinda sorta maybe did like him back was a really nice understated moment. We rarely get Samberg *~ACTING~* on the show so it's always kind of a surprise to me that he can do it pretty well.
I think you misunderstood me? Jake can be childish and immature, but it's really not the Sandler prototype of a manchild a la Billy Madison, which is what Samberg's comic persona since SNL has been. Jake is more of a smartass which means the show lets him crack wise and be witty which is what I think he's better at.
Since the show started, I've always thought it strange that Samberg's comic sensibilities tend to lean on the Adam Sandler "manchild with funny voices" side, because I honestly think his humor and line delivery work best when he gets to be very sarcastic and dry.
So it wasn't just me that died laughing every time Gina used her sweater to cover her mouth? I have no idea why I found it so hilarious.
Eh, I personally despise the way Community handled both of those relationships so subverting a trope for subversion's sake honestly doesn't win any points for me.
All three plots were exceptionally strong tonight, but the Terry/Gina/Rosa plot was probably my favorite. Eveything about it made me cackle out loud like a crazy person, from Rosa high on cough syrup and spinning around the precinct on her wheelie chair to Gina trying to exorcise Rosa's cold with two crossed pencils…
Ellen Page was really wonderful in this movie which makes me sad that she's sometimes been boxed into the same snarky, fast talking Juno-esque roles by people who think she has no range.
Melissa Fumero continues to be a treasure. The Type-A overachiever is such an annoying, tired trope but she's so effortlessly charming and genuinely earnest and the fact that Amy remains so funny and likable when she really has the two worst roles of the show between 'the love interest' and 'the buzzkill' is a feat in…
Me either. I don't know if he's getting better or if he's like a bacterial infection that I'm just becoming immune to from more exposure.
I think what the music videos in the post Samberg era lack is that they're not parodying something very clear and specific. 'Back Home Ballers' (as well as that 'Dongs' one they did with Anna Kendrick) has a very generic glossy girl-group feel to it, but it's just not enough to carry the premise because they don't try…
Nah, I didn't like them last year either. Not my comedic cup of tea, I guess.
I literally feel like I'm taking crazy pills whenever people talk about how whatever weird, alt-comedy thing Mooney/Beckett do in the ten-to-one slot is so hilarious and game-changing. Like, I went to high school in the nineties too, I get what they're going for but their stuff is always so painfully unfunny to me.
So you like Rafael?
I think Gina Rodriguez could have chemistry with a plank of wood, but I honestly don't think she has any chemistry with the dude who plays Rafael.
I don't know, I actually like Michael. And I know they talked about Jane's judginess in a past episode, but her self-righteousness in this episode about Michael being dishonest while also lying to his face about Rafael was a little eyebrow-raising.
I'm probably the only one but I loooove Chelsea's weird, fried voice. It sounds like she's perpetually thinking, "I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck."
Amy would totally be a little yapping pomeranian. Jake would be a giant slobbering golden retriever and Boyle would be a little chubby corgi not unlike Cheddar.
