The “Forget Me Now” episode is one of the funniest episodes of anything of all time but pretty inappropriate for 2023 of course. Bob Loblaw slamming the books in the ad read; “You, sir, are a mouthful;” The Surrogate; Tobias’s business cards; the roofies; Maeby: “I’m gonna go get sexy”; Buster accidentally…

I think it’s one of those things that falls under “we wouldn’t do that if we were making the show today” kind of things. That’s the nature of comedy. Sensitivities evolved (in this case, I think rightly). This is a pretty mild infraction in comparison to a lot of the more vile “jokes” you’d see on Friends or other…

Yeah. There’s some decent stuff in S4, but not an episode’s worth... And S5, Jesus, I couldn’t even finish it.

That whole storyline is making fun of Michael, he thinks he’s the only one in the family that has his shit together but he really doesn’t pay any more attention to what’s going on than GOB or Lindsay. 

I’ll stand up for the Rita storyline just for how it expertly takes the piss out of the “manic pixie dream girl” idea at a time before the public had really started to turn on it. The entire family so easily believing a grown woman is deliberately acting like a carefree six year old just because her accent makes her…

What show has ever been this good from the jump? Seinfeld, Cheers took several seasons to find the groove. The Simpsons first 2 seasons are a little ho-hum for me.

You could literally write the name of each episode from the first three seasons on little scraps of paper, pin each scrap to a dart board, throw 10 darts and whichever 10 episodes you hit first would make up a list that reasonable people would agree was pretty good (while still arguing for their own personal…

Good list. “Meet the Veals” has always been a favorite. The write-up doesn’t mention Franklin, Gob’s puppet, an integral part of story and to me, the funniest part. (Mrs. Featherbottom not withstanding.)

His video is so weird. He’s not actually contradicting anything in the New Yorker piece. Bizarre. 

Hasan Minhaj told fake stories to elicit audience empathy rather than laughs - and to make himself sound like an underdog hero. His video basically defends his right to do that, but it’s ultimately up to the public to decide how they feel.

This is an idiotic take.

I will occasionally shout “DVD player!” in moments of personal triumph. Such a GREAT reading. 

Sealab fell off hard after Harry Goz died and Murphy was replaced with Tornado Shanks. Not to say that one character’s absence made the show worse, it just turned out to be an unfortunate coincidence in timing - Murphy had to be written off right around the same time that Reed and Thompson were beginning to lose a…

Venture Bros is by far my favorite thing Adult Swim has done - just incredible quality all-around with great animation, stories, voice-acting, and humor. Glad it got a proper sendoff with the special that came out a few months back.

Came to make sure The Venture Bros. was at the number one spot. It’s not. I’m leaving. Loved a lot of these shows though.

I realize that Roz and Niles had a combative little friendship, but I still have never understood, in the episode where Niles takes Roz to the cabin as a ploy to break up Daphne and Donnie, why Frasier is so incredulous about the idea that Niles would possibly have interest in Roz - a smart, successful, and extremely…

I don’t think I could disagree with this article more lol. F-zero has always been about going really fast along a twisty and crowded track. The whole point of making it a BR game is to fight through the chaos and then get defensive once you’re towards the front of the pack. There’s a ton of strategy with using the CPU…

The fact that you can’t tell the difference between telling a “man walks into a bar” joke and what Hasan did is...fairly shocking. 

In general terms perhaps, but I think the situation does become greyer when it comes to the kind of Nanette-eseque “this is My Truth” autobiographical-confessional-didactical strain of stand-up comedy which has become a lot more common of late, where the whole point is that the comedian is supposed to be expounding…

Helpful Suggestion: This article would be more interesting, enjoyable and comprehensible if you included all the information in the text instead of links. I have no idea what you’re talking about for a great majority of this piece and there’s not enough context within this article to suss it out. While I’m not a…
