Dorothy doesn't seem quite that calculating. And heaven knows, I have, in the past, looked at apartments I knew I couldn't afford. Not sure why. Maybe to give me something to shoot for?

What? Not a Tinder rando?

Yeah, from what we know of her sexual history, she has had encounters involving other women more than once (and there was, of course, the aborted 3-way she was willing to have with Jimmy and her work friend), so that scene with her and Nina was so good.

The cool trick was the "I love you" happened off camera, and we got the "I love you too." Perfect indeed.

This show has a good track record of steering away from the cliche whenever possible. For instance I loved how they started the episode just openly talking about Jimmy making out with Nina, then later in the episode similarly talking about Gretchen's encounter with her (although Jimmy was drunk, I would imagine sober

Paul even makes sex sound nerdy.

And the little touch in the previous scene of Gretchen eating a french fry off a passed out Jimmy's chest. Oh my God, that was so wonderful.

And the fertility toss featured beanbags wrapped in white fabric with a tail to make it look like a sperm. Becca has an amazing attention to detail.

I second the notion that this show still brings tons of funny despite the general change in tone on the dramatic end. I mean, the opening where Gretchen thought a "bronze metal" was a butthole had me rolling.

Vernon and Paul have become such an incredible combo, haven't they?

That flew by so quick I almost missed it, but yeah. Wow.

That last scene with Edgar and Dorothy was so sweet. Of course they didn't break up. And whether Jimmy influenced him or not, Edgar's probably right in that he's not ready to move in with her. That was the mature breakthrough for him.

Becca pounding down the wine was so in character and so horrifying. And they didn't show the cake, did they? My guess is it was a layer of pink and a layer of blue, i.e. twins.

This show rewards the careful viewer. When Lindsay saw the motorcycle with the sidecar with the horrified look on her face, I was immediately reminded of the sidekick conversation line: "I’m not a sidekick! I’m Beyoncé, not Kelly Rowland. If I’m on a motorcycle, I’m driving the motorcycle, not riding in that shitty

That was awesome, my eyes are still moist and I have goosebumps.

Next issue: Rita Hayworth or Ava Gardner, who would you rather nail? I disqualify myself, because I've done 'em both.

Have Steve Lawrence kick her ass.

How about the worst spoken word section of a hit song by two pop stars of the first rank?

Yes! I love his Randy Newman too. Last seen in one of the Honest Trailers

Caliendo makes a tremendous living imitating and hobnobbing with sports guys. You gotta hand it to him, he created a niche market that only he inhabits, and gets tons of money from corporate gigs (they pay amazingly well.)
