Phew, my American brain is confused. Thanks for the insights! I’ve found most of the seasons on YouTube, but it’s annoying not to be able to see the creations in HD. Beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose!

Right. He openly brags about politicians “kissing his ass” when he calls in favors. But he's not judged by the standard politician rubric apparently. Fuckin fuck.

Fabulous, thank you for the tip!

Where can you watch beyond S1 for free? Help me I'm poor.

Yep that's pretty much what I was aiming to say. You were more succinct!

Jesus H Christ. Then raise the sales tax on Axe Body Spray for crying out loud! That’s a burden on society, male and female.

Her latest show was so packed with zingers I couldn't laugh fast enough!

I can't tell which side this is for??

All I want for Christmas is a gender neutral death threat.

Whoa, you’re bang on, why didn’t that click sooner? People assume that Obama made race relations in America “worse” because the true state of affairs rose to the surface, due to his mere presence. We certainly look to be worse off, like a giant painful underground zit, erupting in a gory mess, then healing much too…

I'd be happy to engage in a dialogue with you if you're willing to drop the over-the-top sarcasm and bullshit.

What a breath of fresh, floral romantic air in the midst of all this toxic, sulphur-poisoned election-year filth.

Yup I’m gonna go out on a limb and say she’s maybe even amongst the .01% in the literary world, having had both commercial publishing success and a popular film made out of a book. I do sympathize with the idea that traditionally attractive, skinny women get an edge, but I think it can be a case of self-esteem, going…

She's a badass and she will not take shit from him. This is the one I am most excited to see. <popcorn gif>

My tits would fall out the sides. I guess this is a good thing if you’re hoping to “accidentally” get caught with your tits out by the paparazzi.

You are absolutely correct! My bad, that parenthetical was meant to belong to Sally Jesse Raphael. I can't say exactly why, as I haven't revisited her oeuvre since the actual 80s. Thanks for catching my error! Phil was indeed a prototypic woke bae.

So I grew up on Oprah, Sally Jesse and (shudder) Donahue, as many an 80s kid did. But I’m still scarred by an unanswered Oprah show teaser: Over or under — how the way you hang your toilet paper can change your life — find out on the next Oprah!

Oh that’s when he won first runner up in the Second Annual Reluctant Air-Rectal-Exam Championships.

Totally asinine to have to live up to impossible expectations, agreed. One other thing that I realized is that typically a forcibly perfect public persona comes across as robotic (Clinton) or humorless and bland (Romney), but the Obamas have always felt incredibly real AND relatable AND vulnerable at times — their…

OMG you painted that picture so accurately I want to cry. Welcome to a woman’s professional life, where you’ll be credited half as much, criticized twice as much and paid three-quarters as much. Congrats!
