The fact that he has the fucking Roots sitting right there next to him is the biggest selling point for me.

Larry's TV resume is pretty impressive, and he seems like a great guy, but he really isn't very good in front of the camera. I can understand why he's jumped at the opportunity to do that, but his talents definitely lie elsewhere.

Are there any other bankable actresses who fit the profile (honestly asking, I'm drawing a blank)? I'm sure she'd kill it.

I never saw the original commercials, but I quote the Calvin sketch with a buddy of mine constantly. It cracks me up just thinking about it.

That scene was a flashback in 1980.

I wasn't big on that DJ Shadow track the first few listens, but it really worked here.

Is it Uber backlash time already?

His local news morning show spots are hilarious.

I think that was just Patrice O'Neal bullshitin' on Opie & Anthony. But who knows.

The whole interview is a really great look into Louis' creative process (he gets a little melodramatic about it, but the work holds up). It was a nice surprise after Maron's fairly awkward talk with JLD.

If Casino was any indication though, he sure loves gettin' blown

That was some seriously incredible sound design during Mike's final scene. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that the crew honed their craft so well on BB and now they're even better at it.

I hope Ernie doesn't get fucked over by all of this. That was a serious bro move in the hospital.

Was Kim genuinely impressed by the commercial? Looked like kind of a forced smile to me, slightly ambiguous at least.

I was holding out for another guitar solo

The fact that there was never any closure on Melfi's rapist upset me the most.

I was watching Boyz n the Hood the other day and realized that Larry Fishburne at that age also looked a hell of a lot like him. He had to have been their backup choice.

My Shazam is very active during HBO shows lately.

Hannah: "The last thing I want is another long sanctimonious speech from Ray."
Me: "…I would love to see that."

These headlines keep bumming me out thinking it's an actual new season, since I already saw this months ago.
