The bright green rolling suitcase screamed 2017.

I hear you've been reading a lot of pilots. It's a lot cheaper than buying a TV.

What's "ACS"?

If you didn't know in the US the FCC, the body that regulates broadcast television, has a list of "seven dirty words" that absolutely can't be said under any circumstances at any time on broadcast television. Fuck in any variation is most definitely on this list. Since SNL airs on one of the original "big three"…

I'd go so far as to say grown adults chewing gum (sugared or sugar free) at all is kind of a gross nervous habit, unless it's a way of quitting smoking or some other pathology.

It's Florida.

"never took street drugs" as marker of morality. lol.

Exactly. People complain about twists being too obvious but for any narrative to actually cohere as a good story the groundwork for the big twists needs to be there from the beginning.

I don't even look at the comments that closely and I feel like I saw multiple people theorizing that it was really the Bad Place all along since like the second or third episode.

This has been my theory for awhile as well. There are no real scores and the glimpses of the scoring "system" are merely an added torture of making people lose their minds trying to make sense of them, just as many have in these very comments.

In college I sometimes slept in the same bed as female friends who I wasn't romantically/sexually involved with. Sometimes they were girls I had a crush on or at least simply wanted to bone. Sometimes they weren't. I can't imagine doing that much over the age of, say, 25.

I thought the Bookworm sketch was weak and it, along with the Friendzone thing and the weird "to Sir with Love" bit definitely took this out of "strong"/B+ territory. There was literally nothing to the Bookworm sketch. He was a bookworm but he didn't know pop culture. That was the entire "joke"! I kept waiting for…

It was Tarran Killam leaving that did it.

Of course he doesn't want to be friends. No man wants to be friends with any woman he just wants to fuck them. That's the moronic worldview of this sketch and of anyone who uses the term "friendzone" unironically.

He was a "little bitch boy" because he wasn't the "masculine" cool guy who she wanted to have sex with. The premise was that the friendzone is a completely legitimate concept. That the weak "nice guys" who allow themselves to be "friendzoned" are pathetic "little bitch boys" is merely a necessary part of the premise.

"I'm a Little Baby Bitch Boy" was meant to show that the dude was emasculated and pathetic for wanting to hang around a woman he wasn't fucking. So, like the rest of the sketch it fully bought into the misogynistic and just plain stupid "friend zone" premise. This stuff isn't that hard to understand.

They're laughing at the guy for being a pathetic loser for hanging out with a woman that he's not having sex with which is some regressive bullshit.

I don't know maybe something other than bolster this concept that women exist purely to be fuck toys and if they merely want to be friends it's this huge hardship for men which takes away fucking that they're somehow naturally entitled to.

I think Cecily has a lovely singing voice too, particularly the higher registers. "To Sir with Love" is just a really hard song to sing and requires a really big range. It seemed like it was the lower notes which were giving her trouble.

Guess who's coming to Dinner? (a black guy)
