I didn’t realize there was a song called Redbone by Childish Gambino, so I had to look it up. It took me like 3 listens to realize it wasn’t some soul song from the 70's that I’ve been hearing everywhere lately and I’m still in shock when I realized that Childish Gambino was actually singing it.

Curb has been much more heavily directed than in the past, and I’m really enjoying the new types of jokes we wouldn’t have gotten in the past (“heavily directed” being on a sliding scale here, with “people stand in front of a camera” being the usual MO).

“Orgasms galore! That’s what I’m promising you, baby! Orgasms galore!”

Like if it is in a headline and then a clarification around five paragraphs down?

Totally lip-sync. And I listened to the guitar on the second song and it was the most basic church-camp strumming and tune. So bored with her.

So, by the lack of mention either in the article and in the comments, am I the only person who losted it at Larry David’s self-deprecating jab in the Democrats’ Commercial” sketch? “Like those comics out there, who thinks it’s okay to make jokes about concentration camps. That guy should rot in hell!”.

What show were you watching?

Had no idea who Haddish is. Seems funny though. Surprised Swift didn’t appear in any sketches. And pretty sure she wasn’t really singing the first song.

C at best. Haddish (I don’t know who she is) was fine. The writing was awful. I mean... a jerking off a dolphin sketch? This is where we are?

To many of you: You don’t get credit for “never liking (his/her/their) work anyway”! shut up, isn’t even remotely about that.

My burning question:

I hope you are kidding thinking they did this because of the bleeping AV Club boycott...

I get the sense you were looking for this to be a TV show, preferably Mad Men (where’s the dialogue, comparing the coffee maker to the chip n dip), instead of reckoning with the novella on its own terms. To me this was a devastating little book about class, and desire. It was about the fetishization of a beautiful,…

I haven’t read this yet, not sure if I will, but this review is clearly written from the POV of a critic who brought too much of his own tastes and expectations to the table. Sorry you didn’t get another expansive Mad Men world, but literature and television are two drastically different media. Why you would be…

Well it’s realy hard to find with this layout!

“I got the show. You got the season 2 Boston Public DVDs.”

Read the comments. It’s not just the reviewers who didn’t enjoy it. It’s okay to have different opinions.

I’ve watched a lot of cringe comedy in my time, but those scenes with Salomon and Maria were some of the worst (best) ever. I couldn’t look at the screen.

I couldn’t stop laughing at the end when they showed the girl completely oblivious to the lipstick messily smeared all over her face during her interview. This show really has mastered the art of cringe comedy.

This episode was decidedly not bitchin’.
