Hah, I do love that video, and I’m bummed I didn’t make the connection myself. 

The iceberg was just there promoting its new album Music!

I wish I could forget her describing his penis as a small, sad mushroom. 

Rachel is a pill. I get that people are sympathetic to her because Shane is such a dud, but ... she married him, and has absolutely nothing going on. In fairness, it’s tough to make a character out of “I want to be doing journalism,” but aside from some uncomfortable facial expressions, she’s stuck with the worst role…

Hah, you beat me to it. I’m like, yes he maybe appears slightly happier at some event than on a promotional image where he’s in character? Also, “look how much happier he looks” doesn’t pair particularly well with “you have no idea what they may be going through.”

Why are shows set in places anyway?? This could have easily been set in a sterile white void. I will be canceling my Hulu subscription.

There is nearly unlimited evidence of Trump being liquid dog shit before he entered politics, let alone after. Too bad evidence, facts, documentation, science (I could go on) are useless to these people.

I agree! It actually does a scarily good job of exposing me to things I’m weirdly interested in, despite being perhaps outside the spectrum of what I typically watch. Not that my tastes are super unique, I’m sure there’s like a badge for NYC-based homosexuals that dumps British home restoration shows and men’s diving…

I started watching a ton of YouTube content during the pandemic, and holy hell are the comments great. They are often surprisingly hilarious and on point, even on dumb things like car reviews. And they’re also less mean and toxic than your average internet comment? Relatively, the above video being an exception.

I love the Corridor Crew videos. One thing they frequently point out, which is very true here, is how amazing things look as still images, but fall apart once you add movement. The lips, in particular, are ... not convincing. 

One thousand-billion percent this. The goal is to prevent people of color from voting. Period. They can’t change the Constitution, so they start by closing polling locations to create ten hour lines—then make it illegal to pass out fucking water. Then force them show ID, and reject the ID when their hairstyle is…

Molly Shannon could tell me to stay at a Motel 6 in rural Wisconsin and I would do it. 

Yeah, it’s a Four Seasons in Maui. Rooms are 10k a night. I’m not saying it isn’t expensive, I’m saying it’s not where those characters would stay.

To be fair, it’s a nice suite, yes. And they are basic bitches (based on the comments, I appear to be the sole person here who thinks she’s more insufferable than him). But the whole vibe is like ... dream vacation for empty nesters? Young, rich, NYC-based newlyweds aren’t going to the family friendly place in Hawaii…

We think it’s fine but keep watching to hear Jennifer Coolidge do line readings. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of Molly Shannon.

He’s acting pissy because she left him, which they’ve been setting up for, uh, every episode now. There’s no way an HBO limited series is revealing the actual victim in the opening scenes of the first episode.

It drives me crazy. The show—and this review—want us to believe these are rich people staying in a “fancy” resort. Would a fancy resort have one bitter dude running everything like it was a Disney hotel in Florida? Would a chief of whatever get a one-bedroom suite for her whole fucking family? Would a rich young…

I remember reading Cecily Strong’s essay in NYMag last year during quarantine. What a heartbreaker. Just pre-ordered her book so I can feel gutted again in mid-August. Yay. 

Oh, I so feel you. It’s hard not to get heated or emotional when you’re talking with people whose beliefs are essentially “own the libs” and “watch the world burn.” It’s nice to fantasize there’d be some magical statistic you could share that might cause them to ponder their beliefs, but there’s no rational…

I’m into it! It’s my first time hearing that expression, and I think it’s kind of great? Not least of all because it sidesteps the baggage of hate crime while effectively achieving the same result (one hopes).
