Willam is absolutely hilarious with the cunty commentary, but she's also exactly the type of person that keeps me from ever wanting to go to LA for fear of having to work around them.

Wait, Willam Belli is in this? As in, Willam from this season of RuPaul's Drag Race? Damn, I might just have to rent this now…
Harp sound effects and the creepy baby laugh were pretty fantastic. I also liked the way Carrie-as-Lance was sped up when he was rolling out from under the truck. The editing on this show is not afraid to basically own the comic timing of the entire episode a lot more than editors of any other sketch show (or even any…
You don't know Joanna Newsom? Get yourself right, son.
The part where Carrie tries to take a running kick, only to miss and fall on her ass, was pretty much perfect.
Yea, Dave has the exact cadence (and only slightly exaggerated version of the vocabulary) of the officers describing themselves & what they do on COPS. Louis nailed it.
Yea, if they had put Madame LaQueer in the bottom two, Princess would have almost certainly been saved. However, Madame LaQueer makes for much more drama (and much more interesting Untucked footage) than Princess does. Neither really had a shot at winning, so if you're going to go ahead and keep one around for a few…
Rachel’s fathers were seen, though, in the pilot (at least, they panned by a photograph of them). The gag was that she was talking about how they mixed their sperm together so they wouldn't know which one was the biological father, then the photograph showed one white guy and one black guy. The same white guy from the…
See, yer problem there is that you've been watching IFC and not downloading the episodes from iTunes.
I don't know what it is about Brownstein that makes me want to turn into her doting house-husband, but I accept that nature has a plan for us all.
While Smooth Moovers was pretty fun for the improvisations that Fred & Carrie got to do, the making jewelry now sketch was my favorite. Partially because the song itself was almost sickeningly adorable, and partially because those over-long pauses just hit me perfectly. That was some of the best timing the show has…
Yea, the Kickstarter video was pretty much pitch-perfect. (Especially how one of the prizes for donation was a "set visit", easily the lamest of all donation prizes, yet somehow something that only goes to the high-dollar donors.)
Okay, on second viewing, this episode really improves. I think the only real dud was the first third of the Grover bit. (It was a bunch of pipe-laying that wasn't really necessary. Especially with the 30 Rock episode going over the same territory so recently.) Still, there were some fantastic bits in pretty much every…
I think the end of the Grover bit was fantastic, both for the surreal touches mentioned in the main review (the even-louder shouting when only one person was in the bedroom, as well as the fact that the kitchen island shook so hard it destroyed the lego building) and for one of those characteristic Armisen spot-on…
Hey, since your head's already up there, go ahead and glance all around to see if there are any polyps. Colon health is very important.
Agreed, "Captive Pursuit" is the absolute shit. I remember watching it (back when the TNG/DS9 block on a local UHF station was required Sunday viewing) and having my mind blown. I'm really looking forward to the review.
Getting tired of the feminist book store characters? For shame! They're pretty much the foundational characters of the show, especially considering how they were some of the first characters Fred & Carrie created back when they were doing ThunderAnt. Yea, they don't always hit 100% of the time, but they are far more…
It did hit pretty perfectly, especially because I personally had a disc of Cabinet of Dr. Caligari sitting next to my DVD player for several months before I finally returned it unwatched.
They could be like me, who started watching the show with "33". That was what got me hooked. I didn't even get around to the mini-series…
Okay, seriously, how the fuck is Carrie Brownstein so funny at sketch comedy? There are hundreds of assholes toiling away through improv classes at Second City, UCB, and Groundlings; while Brownstein is just soaking up Armisen's spare hilarity through osmosis and turning into a fantastic player in her own right. She…
