No, I agree, I've just seen people elsewhere (maybe also here? I forget) latching onto that line and what a good point it is while pretty much ignoring the context. It's a good and generally true point but in this case it was really just Abbi being flustered and taken by surprise at his sudden shift in mood. There are

Plus the whole "I want to live like you!" thing that turned Frank into what he is now, there's a milder version of that happening with Bobbi's fascination with Ilana and Abbi's lives

Her chemistry with both Ilana and Abbi was great and believable, and she was able to be very much herself while still playing someone so different from Susie on Curb. I love when "oh that's a GREAT idea!" casting ends up actually working out so well.

Yes! I saw a comment from him last night (that was gone by the time I tried to reply to it) about how Always Sunny was better. Oh okay and here I thought two great shows just gave us some of their best episodes yet and anyone who watches either or both should be happy but, okay dude whatever.

Yeah, sometimes it's just such a relief to be free of liking someone even if it is disappointing

Yeah, I mean, it's one thing to be upset at losing something like that and all but to get mad at her was ridiculous, similarly his line about "bragging about not judging something just means you think it should be judged" was good but like, she just took a big step outside of her usual comfort zone because it meant a

God I wish I could remember it exactly but Bob Balaban saying "my mind is open, but my asshole, that's another story" just made me glad to be alive

She was so wonderful, I'm now already hoping for a guest actress Emmy nomination

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the Broad City review, what a great couple of episodes of both of these

I honestly thought this would get an elusive rare A+!

Just because the gang are assholes in a certain way doesn't mean you have to be. Carmen is a woman.

I wonder how much, if any, of it is commentary on that type of sitcom character. Because the womanizing cad who's secretly loveable and soft-hearted is such a common trope, going back to Sam Malone on Cheers and earlier, but guys like that in real life would be/are pretty terrifying. Not necessarily Dennis-level

God, I really hope there's some Artemis this season

Also I think it depends on which you have more of a tolerance for—terribleness on a personal level (the way Dee treats people) or terribleness on a larger scale (Mac's views on various ethnic groups).

I'd love if they worked in the Taxi theme somehow, for the reference but also because it's just a fuckin jam

Yeah, the few times it doesn't work for me are things like earlier appearances of Carmen, before the joke shifted from "haha, Mac had sex with a trans woman!" to "haha, the gang is insanely ignorant to and about this trans woman!" (though I didn't love Dennis' line last night, because it goes back to the joke being

You might have been thinking of Grosse Point Blank, which came out around the same time and where the reunion is held at the school

True, that one single part of this movie was very far-fetched and unrealistic…

Uhhhh…

That's the one part of this movie I never got, because while Mary is great, honestly who wouldn't rather be Rhoda?
