You don’t have the internet’s permission to enjoy them.

Bullies have to be punched in the face. It’s the only thing they understand. After they are defeated they can try fixing themselves.

Aaron Rodgers used to present as pretty normal and even thoughtful.

Yes!  That scene highlighted the difference between a first rate comedian, and a second rate one.  Shandling made mincemeat out of him, and Gervais was left sputtering, unprepared for a comedian who, rather than stroke his ego, cut him down to size.

Now that was some cringe that I can truly appreciate! Gervais, normally used to thinking he’s some sort of comedic apex predator, was clearly overmatched and in deep, DEEP shit and it was a pleasure to watch that play out!

This just makes me treasure Garry Shandling even more, for how he absolutely took Gervais out at the knees when interviewed by him.

I honestly just think Gervais cannot help himself. He wants to belong so bad. He wants to be liked with every fiber of his being. But he also resents his own neediness and the objects of that neediness (Hollywood, celebs, etc.). I think Extras is almost more instructive than The Office. Extras put on display Gervais’…

I demand that everytime someone praises the Office or Extras they strongly note Stephan Merchants writing.  Everything Gervais writes that Merchant isn't involved with is notably shittier.

Aw that’s too bad.

I guess when your life takes place largely outside of reality, a little whiff of it can feel pretty bad. As renowned journalist Alexander Knox once put it, “The rich. You know why they’re so odd? Because they can afford to be.”

Reservation Dogs was #1 of the year for me. Such a great, lovely show.

RIP Perry Mason. You were too good for this world. I hope you really are on a farm upstate for series cancelled prematurely, where you can play with Mindhunter.

Oughta be able to find a place for Fargo even though season just started. It’s shaping up to be a doozy.

What a tone deaf asshole. 

Heck she’s cooperating here!  

Asking for leniency for Masterson should be career-enders for Kutcher and Kunis.
