I wanted Archer to ask the head clown: "Do you do cocaine?"

Shark, look up and meet "Modern Family."

The jokes during the opening segment were just plain moldy horseshit. Come on, step it up, Chuck.

The intro sequence/credits to the Cannon show, along with intro sequences to shows of the era such as Kojak and The Rookies, were very similar to the firing sequence in style — more foreshadowing/tying things together.

That apple made me think: When have I ever seen an apple tree on The Walking Dead? Then it struck me: The guy that runs the apple orchard is probably the same guy who mows everyone's lawn.

That, much like Dwight, is just nuts.

I see your point. I would think it becomes ironic when the show actually does something to dispel the notion.

I don't disagree. The point that makes me wince is, this stupid, running-on-fumes TV show is actually PUNCHING DOWN at one of the leading candidates for President of the United Fucking States.

Last night in L.A., Chicago, New York and possibly Omaha, there were unknown sketch troupes who did bits and sketches that I guarantee were funnier than the shit that SNL flung at us last night. If SNL doesn't want to be forgotten, it should find some better writers and a few better actors. And a host who isn't high,

I'm a lifelong Wisconsinite, ya hey dere. I am all for a good Wisconsin sketch that hits the truth. This one just fucking sucked. Slack-jawed suckery.
Here's the key to why the sketch sucked — maybe a clue to why the show sucks these days. It was LAZY.
First off, the name of the place is Fond du Lac. Wisconsinites

I dislike that there has not been a whole lot of national discussion over the years re. how frickin' hot Paget Brewster is. Pure talent, humor, beauty. Yow.

Re. opening scene:

I still hold the opinion that Smigel is the funniest entertainer in America. Brutal, fearless, simultaneously showing reverence for the history of comedy and blowing it up with dynamite. Bless his non-existent soul.

A man tells his boss "I'm going to need two weeks off work."
"Why?" asked the boss.
"I'm having surgery to have two ribs removed," the man said. "I'll heal in two weeks, and then I'll be able to suck my own dick!"
The boss said, "Better take three weeks off, then."

This was a shockingly ordinary episode of network television.

What about the episode of "Mama's Family" where Ken Berry realizes on-camera that he has signed a five-year contract to appear in this shitty fucking sitcom?

Beautifully done.

The joke that got me was seeing "Detachable Penis" on the karaoke machine song list when Paul picked "Don't Know Much." I laughed for a good hour.

Some of my best friends are white male TV shows!

And what about the show's use of the word "fuck," which is overused and often oddly used, as if to appear to be a hint of some sort.
