Yeah I thought it almost deliberately echoed Malcolm Tucker's series 4 send off. JLD runs the gamut of emotions so beautifully.

This just in: obscenely wealthy pop star co-opts radical leftist aesthetics but doesn't actually support any radical leftist ideology, pepsi-co breathes a sigh of relief.

Seriously. Despite making no attempt to hide the absurdity of the conceit, it was so cleanly done that you could still easily lose yourself in the bit.

Run boy, he's got a taste for meat now!

See, I'm actually with him on that point. It's not your grandmother in the background, the fuck you need to give your two cents on how some stranger wants to mourn another dead stranger?

Chelsea Does is a pretty good example of someone not quite as deep and intelligent as they think they are overreaching in subject material. It's like Kathy Griffin's Vice.

She's really the only one in the cast consistently acting and not just looking mopey and detached.

Since that time Betty Draper went off the deep end and started popping off some pigeons.

"But these words, “transgender” and “transitioned” are hard for me because they both have lost their complexity in their assimilation into the mainstream."

I thought it was really nice of them to give the writers a week off and let the cast do silly voices.

I thought the whole point of Clickhole was to make fun of internet endeavors like Great Job, Internet. You don't get to be in on the joke.

I think at a certain point they need to concede that unless they're going to get Robert Smigel, Louis CK, Bob Odenkirk, and a murderer's row of UCB legends back to do sketches again, anything the writers come up with won't be half as funny as Conan dicking around in a strange environment.

It's such a fucking bizarre sequence of events that three, non-conspiring people could happenstance stubble into a room and symbiotically commit two separate murders and cover ups, all three in equal measure.

This show is infinitely more compelling as David Tennant's screen time increases. I love how he's unafraid to play up the humor and dry absurdity while being absolutely menacing.

I think IP is both perfectly antithetical to the "principles" of capitalism and perfectly embodying of the practice of capitalism.

"Colbert’s drawn strong praise for not abandoning his political satire roots in the move to CBS"

Seeing Princess Bride and Men in Tights as a kid definitely colored my experience watching Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn movies. Elwes is so good at all those gestures while doing them with a wink.

Half orange juice, half club soda.

Jokes at average people's expense definitely happen, but it's not the intention and more the exception than the rule. The intention for me seems to be "If I go out into the real world and play by these ridiculous rules, how much is the real world willing to play back?" and the humor comes from realizing the real world

I feel like "Nathan Fielder" has reached a "Stephen Colbert" level of long-form character commitment.
