Look, nobody is ever obligated to like anybody else, just because they want them too. Todd loving Melissa does not obligate her to love him back. Tandy loving Melissa does not obligate her to love or like him back, especially since he's lied to her and disrespected her boundaries over and over again.

That's . . . the worst insult you can think to throw at me here? Come on.

I bet you guys have lots of successful dates with attractive women!

Romantic relationships aren't like chess games; one isn't bound to any specific rules (other than legal ones, like "not murdering each other.") Todd's jealous, nagging, needy behavior made him very unattractive (on top of how, well, he's not a perfect 10.) Even given that, Melissa wasn't going to dump him—until he…

Gus, when you have a kid and a new baby and are a stay at home dad, I will come crash on your couch for a month and then we shall see how you feel about this question. Also, if your wife isn't a size 4 six months after giving birth, I will yell "frumpy!" at her every time I see her.

I disagree. I actually like all the characters on the show (even Brett!) Brett sort of is a wet blanket and sucks, but you can see how his very technical, very rote job has worn down his spirit. Given how depressed he is, and how he's married to someone very different from him, I actually think he does okay.

Um, yeah. Google ANY "kids or family" fundraiser in your area. Whether it's a fundraiser for a school, children's hospital, library, day care center, or whatever, there is always gonna be a fucking bouncy house, fuckin' ice cream, fucking face-painting, and so on.

Maybe you're both bad at watching the show and reading reviews! (And understanding how fund-raisers work too, apparently?)

That was Britta's line, not Jessa's.

You're pretty bad at watching this show, if you don't know who Larry is and you don't know that it was a fund-raising party when it was referred to as such IN EVERY SCENE, plus the reviewer also mentioned it? Like, maybe you should be consuming some less challenging material?

Adults in relationships don't take psychedelic drugs and then crash their spouse's important fund-raising parties.

Go read a comic book.

Neither of you guys get fucked very often, do you? Have you ever wondered why that is?

Uh, Brett is a godawful wet blanket nerd. The show's not unsympathetic to him, and not utterly blind to Michelle's faults, but like . . .

LOOK UP WHAT "APPROPRIATING" MEANS, MAN. ALSO DON'T CALL YOURSELF A LOLITA UNLESS YOU'RE A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD FUCKING AN OLD WRITER. ALSO LEARN ABOUT OTHER CULTURES AND RESPECT THEM INSTEAD OF BEING A WEIRDO DICK. THX!

Dude, there have been millions of words spilled on the Internet about the pacing issues of ALL of those shows (with the exception of "Breaking Bad.") MILLIONS.

I wish the AV Club would spring for copy-editors. I respect that it's very hard for the writers to get these up as fast as they do, but it's ridiculous for a publication this size to be publishing work with this many mistakes. Subject/verb agreement, sentences with a billion clauses that are like hacking through the…

Insightful article, but for God's sake, fucking copy-edit it.

Ugh, it's not an either/or. As I explained above. You CAN be making comedy that's ABOUT pain and self-indulgence.

Look, fedora, humor can be "about things." From Jonathan Swift to Louis CK, humor has a long history of being topical. Your either/or dichotomies are autistic at best.
