Yeah it was one of those cases of "In order to enjoy this, i would actually need to like the thing it's shitting on MORE than i do" Some of the reality show parodies get that way for me too.

Wow, Chair is still on the show? I would have bet on her as the absolute least likely non-main character to return.

I didn't take that as an insult. I didn't like what little i saw of it, but it was a show about aliens not quite passing as human. The comparison here seemed to be between the actors on this show and the characters on that one. It's saying that, much like Larry Bird and his "family", these guys are disturbingly off in…

I've seen the original Uncle Buck, and didn't realize this was supposed to be a remake of it based on the commercials. So yeah i don't think the name is doing them a ton of good.

Yeah that sounds more like a criticism of Trevor.

I'm willing to believe it's true once it seems to be, but i'm gonna need more than a confusingly vague non-denial appearing in source i can't find in response to anonymous second-hand rumor to get there.

The NRA is more stick than carrot fwiw. They don't really support politicians so much as they support opponents of politicians. They don't give the people they like that much campaign money, but if someone gets out of line, they suddenly get interested in pouring a ton of money into anybody credibly trying to beat…

It's also hard to pin down because for a lot of people it's a rallying banner rather than an actual power structure telling them what to do in any meaningful way. Like, are you little more than a rabid animal who hates your life and world so much that all you want to do is burn them down while lashing out at people…

Ugh. This is not what a trade secret is, and this sets a horrible precedent even though i don't care about The Walking Dead.

Hey not every character from heroes improbably came back from certain death repeatedly. One of them just kept having previously unmentioned identical siblings!

Yes, partially. Whatever you're looking for out of a comedy, this probably has at least a little of it, but if there are things you really aren't looking for, it probably has at least a little of all those too.

I don't know how the ones where you are work, but here the biggest community impact seems to actually be from the people with various barriers to employment getting jobs handling the donations/sorting/stocking/sales/etc.

Based on notifications and such i believe a lot of people are still reading things a day or two later, and then it drops off utterly if it's a newswire type thing. Otherwise there's a lull until the next installment a week later if it's a series (like me reading this right now!) at which point there's another spike…

The coolest thing about that page is the image of what pugs looked like at the time being almost reasonable by comparison to today https://upload.wikimedia.or…

That epiphany on the herpes commercial set is crazy dark. Even her decision to let people love her hinges on the idea that doing so doesn't necessarily mean she deserves it. I do love that whole sequence though, especially the way it plays against a "rushing to the airport" scene by having no time crunch at all and…

She was the only thing that made me feel bad about dropping that show halfway through.

I thought her shtick also worked well on the interstitials elsewhere in this show, and as a guest on "Not Safe" but was similarly confused about what i was supposed to get out of her thing on stage in this episode. I mean i'm not attracted to her, but it's not like she's some disgusting monster and the idea of her…

I don't understand this comparison, but i'm guessing it's offensive.

I'm embarrassed by how angry i was at the first movie. I mean at some point it starts being a character flaw if shitty entertainment can piss you off past that point without even having a message.

"Company pulls stats out ass, gets publicity" seems like a bad model to encourage. So, what sort of testable hypotheses could these guys start putting out to prove they're not just rolling dice to come up with these numbers? I'd say cancellation/renewal predictions, but so far netflix just renews almost everything.
