Too bad Deadpool has already claimed X Gonna Give It to Ya's usage in superhero movies.

I think you can just say "comic book look" there and still be totally accurate.

That sounds more like the director's job. I mean you know your boss is the one firing you even if HR verbally breaks the news.

Sort of like how The 12 Disciples thematically mirror the 12 Tribes of Israel by virtue of both of them having inconsistent lists that don't always add up to 12 in different books.

The world is not funny. Guy Fieri has two successful restaurants.

I've noticed that too, but i'm glad he has. I prefer this to him and Ben being mostly indistinguishable from each other and smaller characters in similar roles. Being the stats guy also helps quantify what the hell Kent does beyond "another guy in the room yelling an opinion."

True, i can imagine almost no scenario today where a democrat/republican congress person votes for the other party's candidate and still has any job in 2 years. We've seen how cravenly people who hate him have lined up to support Trump, and that's a guy almost nobody in the party structure actually wanted to see…

I assumed they actually had a pool table somewhere at that bowling alley, which is reasonable, but carrying them over is still a bit of a stretch.

What do you think would actually happen here no matter what the rules say? I'm thinking a run-off would be too hard to organize on the fly whether people demanded it or not. Maybe a big popular push for congressmen to pick whoever won the popular vote? Something other than the election deciding the president doesn't…

Wait, i could be getting recreational drugs on behalf of my cat? Why is this how i'm finding out about this!?

Was that supposed to be a screw-up on his part, or are we meant to think the administration has just done another one of those things where they decide up is down and yesterday's frivolous distraction from what matters is today's lifesaving distraction from what matters?

Huh, i recognized him from MadTV, but didn't remember his name/ thathe was that voice actor.

I think that case was an honest misunderstanding for a change rather than someone being awful. With the response being "We don't want our relationship politicized" i expected Selina to just laugh in their faces. Like, of course we don't want things politicized, but seriously, given reality, how do you want to play…

The facial expressions on some of Ralphie's lines got me too.

Yeah as far as i know, if you'er a civilian and you pay a stranger to kill someone, that guy's actually a cop a gigantic percentage of the time. Organized crime groups have people on the payroll whose jobs include occasional murder. Some intelligence work includes occasional assassination. And sometimes civilian…

Yeah i'm gonna rewatch his other specials apropos of this one. I wish it was possible to get more exposure as a standup rather than it just being a stepping stone. Because he's fantastic but he can't farm.

Birbiglia's pretty good in that space too. One reason it might seem like nobody does themed standup with a real coherent arc to it is that if you get too good at that, people start labelling it a different form from standup like a "one-man show" or "series of satirical monologues" or something.

So who do you think is the closest to being their character on that in real life? I figure it's gotta be Norm.

Right, this guy does sketch comedy, like that dude who wrote Cloud Atlas.

I enjoyed Bridesmaids but really resent its success making everyone try to just make that character the center of several movies when McCarthy can do other things.
