"Am I still a moose?"

This really needs to get more attention. So good.

Dead. On.
This would have been one of my favorite episodes of the series.

Kroll Show is doing this right now. I still think "League of Gentlemen" is the best example (and I've got a post on it), but Kroll Show started with you getting to know these characters in their own environments, and started slowly intermixing them and blending it all together. But without a doubt, this is all going…

Watch "League of Gentlemen" It's a brilliant British sketch show, that is very much just a sketch show in the first two seasons, but the third season completely changes into almost a sitcom. It's serialized comedic storytelling, with all of the characters you've known for two seasons, that live in a town together,…

Your read on the whole Bourdain situation is pretty spot on. I was at the Archer Live! event a few months back, and Aisha Tyler mentioned that she is just a huge Bourdain fan, had him on her podcast one time, and ended up learning that Bourdain was also actually a fan of Archer. Tyler told Reed, and Reed wrote the…

I wanted to highlight this as well. This whole "doc shaky cam" animation approach in this episode was first used by Reed in the second season of Frisky Dingo, during all of the election stuff. So good.
All of the "bumper" stuff tonight also felt reminiscent of FD season two's "slideshow" running joke.

Yeah, a much, much better tag would have been a study room scene with the other group of people, and just watching them banter. Even if they did stupid shit like have Vicki and Todd rapping, or "Neil and Leonard in the mooooorning" which would have been awful ideas, I'd still have preferred them and appreciated what…

I agree. The Pierce electrocution gag was the only thing in the episode that I thought was flat out bad. They really couldn't have thought of a gag that was funnier, and wouldn't need to involve effects?

I agree. I was actually very into this episode, it made me laugh a bunch, and the showing previous scenes from outside perspectives I thought was more smart than stupid. Perhaps I need to watch this season in a vacuum, because I am totally fine with this episode's quality. PLUS it was written by a new writer. PLUS I…

Nor would I say the quality jump from season 2 of "Arrested Development" to season 3. I feel this is the closest resemblance to this feeling of displacement that the show was giving off. Season 3 of AD was full of new writers that were throwing out callbacks and in-jokes, just for the sake of it, and not knowing how…

I mean, that 2001 homage in the premiere though is kind of perfect though.

I'd say this is different in the fact that the former episode IS a "My Dinner With Andre" episode, while the latter references and uses "The Hunger Games", but at no point is it trying to be a Hunger Games "episode." You know what I mean? It's there, but it's not the lens you're viewing the episode through.

I love more than anything that this series ends with the three main characters arguing and SCREAMING at each other. That's the image it leaves you with. Not some sappy, typical, heartwarming finale (not that the finale is void of emotion, because it certainly isn't); this is who these people were.

The entire scene with Phil and Hank and the eggs to mirror the OJ Simpson trial is so, so good. I mean, it ends with Hank's classic. "FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU." But it's all great.

This was the first episode I saw, and the first joke I really laughed at.

Adolf Hankler IS "My Name is Asher Kingsley."

This made me laugh so, so hard the first time I saw it. One the series' highlights for me too.
