The cold openings are the best thing about the show now. The great thing is they're just tiny bits of well-observed human behaviour. About nothing really. If only The Office could go back to being a show about nothing.

I compared this episode - which was nicely done - with the trial in Season 1 held in the college pool with Jeff defending Britta against a charge of cheating. I kind of think the earlier, simpler episode was less forced and, well, funnier.

@ Jimmy

I could give you a few names.

Oh, I didn't read it as him thinking *all* marriages were like that. And being 'sexually withholding' is something both men and women do.

Agreed. Compared to other debate or presentation episodes - like the one where Leslie gave a presentation while zonked on flu medicine - this one seemed overblown and artificial.

Yes, but I'm not interested in you. You're replying to my post, duckie.

Deary me, still angry because the bad man didn't like the television show you like? Oh the humanity.

Apology accepted, cunt.

How about the campaign team not ensuring there was a live feed to the remote meeting until the very minute the debate started?

Jesus, you Americans are so sentimental, you'll swallow anything if it's coated in enough saccharine. That must be the weepy Irish side of your heritage.

I thought that was infantile rubbish.

An 'A'? I must have been watching the wrong show.

I don't mean to be a dick but please don't underestimate the desires of women. I met more than one or two who wanted some pretty arcane stuff.

Dude, respect his his experience. It may not be yours but it's real to him and maybe to others.

I'm interested why no-one seems to have asked feminist anti-pornography campaigners who say that *all* porn degrades *all* women performers: 'OK, what about performers in the type of porn that apparently makes up 37% of all online porn traffic - gay porn?"

I think Cartman is Lucy with Kyle and Stan as Linus and Schroeder. and Kenny as Snoopy..

I a;ways kind of think Nigel Farrage missed a trick by not putting a ton of hidden cameras in the house and then having a *third* episode every week of the tensions, dynamics and motivations of the group, a reality episode that shows us the performers as real people rather than the 'I don't know, Ryan. i just hope…

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Phillip Phillip's face, contorted with effort, wreathed with sweat, grey-green with tension, suggests nothing more than a violent, drunken frat date-rapist.Of course, all the girls love that.
