I liked Friends, but I think The Comeback and Web Therapy are both funnier.
Web Therapy had a wild improvisational feel to it that is now routine for Larry David vehicles and works out of UCB and similar improv troupes.

Hardhome Depot.

They did the same effing thing for a primer on barbecue. Sensing a trend.

Sorry!

To be fair, didn't The Spin Doctors already do that a generation ago.

Douche Minutiae or Master of Pheremonies?

Say it ain't so, Trader Joe's!!

Memby when Bubba could bite him lip and pinch his thumb and folks would straight up faint?

I still laugh at his bit where he had taken off standup touring because he had newborns, but it was OK because he had some new material to try out.
Then he pulled his keys out of his pocket and jangled them in front of the audience.

The guy who plays Herr Starr has a fascinatingly Meloni-esque jawline.

Gabrus rolls with a room better than just about anyone. People throw the most absurd stuff at him and he always makes it 10x funnier than the people trying to trip him up.
The coinstar/baconator B2B had me rolling like nothing else in a while.
The National Anthem [dee duh duh, . . . dah-deeee duh duh] bit was killing

I enjoyed Norm holding court in awe of Letterman, but I much more look forward to return to the less well-behaved Norm. Even if he isn't shitting on sponsors, I want the salty talk and the shitting on Adam Egot of Queensboro Bridge infamy.

Most of the time, those kinds of gripes fall on the scale alongside Obama's mom jeans. But pundits persist in hopes of generating the next Dukakis in a tank.

No one gave a shit about Mustard-gate. It was a half-hearted attempt by Hannity to relive the past gaffes of John Kerry's Cheez-Whiz Steak-gate, Michelle Bachmann's Keilbasa-gate, Romney's 'chocolate breakfast . . . goodie'-gate, even back to Bush Sr's grocery scanner-gate.

It was too late, he'd already seen EVERYTHING. . . .

What I'm curious about is, has the age of Trump decimated or invigorated the therapy industry?
I could see people switching from the therapist's couch to the internet message board running them out of business.
But OTOH, I wonder if even the message boards, and late night talk shows, and twitter, etc. not being enough

Growing up in the time I did, I can recall two instances when the very existence of such a thing as a president impinged on my existence.
I was vaguely aware of stagflation and 'malaise' when candy bars went from a quarter to seventy-five cents in the late 70s, and I was glad a girl in JHS wanted to sit on my shoulders

When there is horseradish and there is bleu cheese in this world?!?!?

To be fair, about 1 pizza joint in 100 has an outer crust that's good enough to eat without a dipping sauce. Most pizzas I eat end up with a pile of crust stacked up at the end. People treat it like a disposable pizza handle.

Are we completely out of space for entertainment that is anything but sensitive celebrations of the travails of difference?
There seems to me a great difference between humorous observations of differences without malice, and purposefully disparaging, belittling or marginalizing content.
Having grown up with some of
