As are you, my friend.

Highlights
Chang being confused about his own ethnicity. (Seriously, it caught me off guard and I laughed hard.)

I believe it was 8=>, or an emoti-penis.

I'm not sure I'd send my kids to the "Jack and Elizabeth Donaghy High School for Teen Drama, the Arts, and Feelings."

I nearly choked when I heard that description, not because it's funny (and it is REALLY fucking funny) but because of its pinpoint accuracy.

Nasim Pedrad…
So she's basically the new Maya Rudolph? That'd be okay with me if she's as funny as Maya Rudolph was.

What took the cake for me was the shot from Ludachristmas…

I loved when Annie explained she was taking a relaxation course the following semester and planned to complete all the assigned reading over the break. Funny joke and excellent character detail.

Good God, people…
How has there not been a mention of CHORD OVERSTREET asking Santa for "Chap Stick…lots and lots of Chap Stick"? I nearly wet myself laughing at that.

@Shy R

Jessica
was kicking ass this week. Even though she had very little heavy lifting on the acting front, the self-defense training sequence was pretty cool. As was the faux-coy "Hi" she have the werewolf before brawling.

"Well, the young ladies do love a good Bieber release, even if ironic. "

Mostly a bland episode
But I did enjoy the scene on the moving sidewalk where Tanya tried to pick up the paper Ray threw away and banged her head on the pole. More Tanya slapstick couldn't hurt the show, I think.
