You're overestimating how easy it would be for her to bounce back, and underestimating how much women have been encouraged to let that shit slide.

It helps to think that FOX employees are not literal Devils and should be held accountable for acting like them.

That would be great! But the world we live in doesn't act as such, and trying to counter an oppressed group's complaints with "Well, shouldn't this not be an issue?" is like champion-level missing the point, and one rarely made in good faith.

Undergraduate Student Under Graduate Student.

Ditto. I think it's great that the show can address it as if it were the case in terms of emotional fallout and recovery but omit the actual portrayal. That's like the inverse of most rape on television.

Coke-fueled karate sparring sounds like assault, so if that wasn't listed, I assume they weren't giving an exhaustive list of all his charges.

That "I gots to treat you" line was oddly sweet. I like that night Andrea is both wildly irresponsible and yet a pretty competent therapist who just wants a worthwhile patient to work on.

Since binge-reviewing this show must be like chugging an energy drink mixed with pop rocks, I think we can forgive Gwen the occasional typo.

I never didn't lose my shit when the camera cut to puppet grandma. She would've been hilarious were she not a puppet!

That back-and-forth of maniacal laughter and sobbing was a thing of beauty. She is batshit insane in all the right ways.

This was the reaction I had about the Westboro Baptist Church patriarch. It feels wrong to feel so good about someone's death, but if you had to, wouldn't he be one of the first people you thought of? (I had this same conversation with myself earlier today about Donald Trump.)

Not just any sex toy, but a sex toy with a Post-It note that said "Tuesday 2 PM" or something like that. She schedules her masturbation! It was a very specific character beat, but most people don't read past "sex toy" and this is why we can't have nice things.

Can I guess that you are not a woman? And that you wouldn't have to put up with the same shit Samantha Bee has/had to? And that if you were a woman, it would still be misdirected anger to throw up your hands and say "that's the way the world is"?

I think the sad prisoner's dilemma of internet modern discourse is that if even one asshole puts their two cents in, everyone feels the need to put their two cents in, even if they're just bog-standard insults or meta-comments on the banality of the conversation.

You should tell her that! If only there were a number you could dial…

Fifty years from now, people will only know Rob Schneider as the guy who indirectly named Roger Ebert's collection of reviews for awful movies.

I know! I love how cool she looked during the entire clip, while Jimmy Fallon is scanning the horizon for validation.

Ah, damn. I don't know why I want all my favorite characters to have Marceline-level sad backstories, but I do.

I think in an "Ask Me Anything" session, Hirsch mentioned Wendy's mom "isn't with us anymore". And another commenter here noticed a Suicide Prevention sticker on her dad's truck. If that's true, while I'm really interested in that story, there's no easy way for them to explore that within the show. Especially since

You have to applaud Hirsch for ending the show on his own terms, and when it made the most sense to. Does any other show runner have that kind of self-restraint nowadays?
