If I'm not mistaken, Ron Funches took a role on another show. But the Polish dude needs to make a comeback.

The shows are so similar, tonally, that I don't get why that wasn't the instinctual move.

Honestly, it's only been two episodes, but I've gotten more actual out-loud laughter from this than any comedy this year not named B99. The cooking segment had me giggling the entire time. And Parker Young continues to be the best part of anything he's in. I freaking love this show.

Yep. And for that, it reminded me more of Inglourious Basterds than anything else Scorsese's done. 3 hours that flew by because it was so damn fun.

Yeah, nobody wore yellowface in HIMYM.

I'm saying this wasn't racist. At all.

It's a whole lot more than I would have written, I'll say that much. I'm actually disappointed in how they kowtowed to some hypersensitive morons. If comedy has boundaries, it's a whole lot further than last week's episode of HIMYM, and if we need to bring out the apology train every time some small group of people…

It's no more racist than—gasp—putting a white person in stereotypically Asian clothing.

It's a good thing people weren't so easily offended 20 years ago, when Seinfeld had the Donna Chang episode.

Hey, something funny happened! Unfortunately, it was Jesse Eisenberg, and he won't ever be back, so what's the difference.

So THAT'S where she's from! Thank you, that was bugging me all night.

When Andre Braugher speaks, you hear the circumflex in his voice.

You joke, but Hercules is actually a really great landlord.

Yeah, guys, the title of the show is "How Your Uncle Marshall Slapped Your Other Uncle Barney a Few Times." God.

This is like going to a nice restaurant, getting the 13-course prix fixe, and having one of them just be a shitty supermarket-quality bagel with Philadelphia cream cheese, and then having the gall to respond, when you complain, "Didn't you like that this morning"?

Donna's grading has been egregious this season, especially compared to Sepinwall, who's given up on this show like we all ought to have by now. I've honestly taken to wonder whether we're watching the same show, or if she's just that easily entertained.

The only people truly distraught by Brian's death probably can't read this review, Eric.

Had to be intentional, right?

C-.

There were five storylines:
Jay and Manny: Too short to be aggressively bad, but tired and unfunny. C-.
Claire and Gloria: Easily the worst of 'em. Not a good moment. D.
Alex and Haley: On a better episode, this would've been the worst. Maybe one chuckle-worthy moment, but it beat the same joke into the ground a thousand…
