Why aren't you out there telling us those one little secrets animation studios don't want us knowing about?

"people like you", make it sound ugly when you say it like that and I just said it's not fanservice if nobody wanted it, don't crowbar your dislike in.

But hasn't he always been conversationally distinctive? I'm not sure what flipped this episode.

Fan service to whom? I don't think anyone had ever said "Mike should totally have a baby, that'll grab my attention for sure" until I just did, nobody's thinking how it'll goose ratings or be more interesting than anything else ongoing in his life because it isn't.

Right but that's kinda been his throughline since season one, not the adoption but mid-level incompetence. I'm not sure why he's reprehensible now because of their use of a trope you don't like, he's always been something of a lousy schmuck who is somehow still in a job he's failing at, just now he has a very small…

I'm using the royal we.

They're all talking like that. You don't even need to be an 80's kid, just consider the idea that popular things from your childhood will resurface again but all new and vaguely different and there you go, retroactive childhood scarring! It's hyperbolic and makes light of a very traumatising thing but hey, internet,…

I guess… what is null porn exactly, do I want to know and why are these two neccesarily doing that?

Eh, I'll see what Rocky's upto.

He went with it!

And yet I've learned nothing.

I'm not smart.

I don't follow.

Snarky made it complex, not me.

Sure, just because Dennis wanted to keep us spoiler free though he knew we watched it doesn't mean we're beholden to keeping that spoiler rolling… unless we're specifically asked nicely not to do it.

Hmm, got a live one here I see, price for you is $300.

Hah, the joke's on them, it's neither!
