Yeah, but I mean, it’s incredible that it has a score that high. I mean, geez, we all know how terrible the average person’s taste is. This show straight up should not be as successful as it is, because it’s so perfect. It is, quite literally, too good for this world. This is a world where Two and a Half Men, Two…

Hey, you leave Larry Hemsworth out of this!

I agree. But in the context of the original post, which set the bar at Parks and Recreation, I felt it still fit. I mean P&R was fantastic, but in the end, it was another workplace ensemble sitcom, and therefore nothing truly unique, even if it was one of the absolute best ever to grace that (already lofty) genre.

What impresses me about The Good Place’s joke writing (plot writing aside) is that, delivered by lesser actors, the lines wouldn’t be nearly as funny. William Jackson Harper serves as a weekly example of this, but so does every cast member. This makes the episodes not just funny; they also hold up to multiple repeated…

I literally just said “oh thank God”. Out loud, at work. But damn, this is great news. Can’t wait to see what they come up with — after I’ve seen what they come up with for the rest of season 2.

I think you may be giving short shrift to Michael Schur’s other currently-running sitcom, Brooklyn Nine Nine, which is every bit as good as this, albeit in a completely different way.

Side Note: We’re legit into the nicknames Eleanor gives Tahani. Pause to get yours!

Which she continued to eat. :)

“Yippee-Ki-Yay, Heathcliff!”

EoT is the first true video game movie.

Whaaaaaaat? Dr. Strange was not mediocre.

No, entering a project that late in would be difficult even for the most skilled of filmmakers. If the next movie he makes sucks then it would prove Age of Ultron wasn’t an aberration.

Oh for fuck’s sake, I thought “pedophiles are bad” was at least one thing we could all agree on. Like, it shouldn’t matter if you’re a democrat or a republican, people who have sex with minors are bad and you should not elect them to the Senate.

I’m not going to deny regional animosity is a thing in the US, since that is demonstrably false. I will go ahead and point out that a not insignificant number of Alabama residents are ready to elect an actual monster to the US Senate. I will also point out that this is not the first time this has happened in that…

I really don’t want to know what falls out when you break open a pedophile pinata.

I live literally twenty minutes from the Gadsden Mall—it’s the mall I use when I’m forced to go to a mall (when Birmingham isn’t an option). And those stock mall photos Colbert used are WAAAAAAY too nice to double as the Gadsden Mall.

Where do your local pizza places rate for mouthfeel in Charles’s email blasts?

I’ll heartily defend the Little Caesars Deep Dish. That stuff is great.

Oh man. The office conversations and the "funny guy" were satired so well in this episode.
