“WHY IS MY SYRIAN BOYFRIEND GHOSTING ME??????”

“Yeah, yeah, Syrian war, riveting stuff. But what lies beneath the ocean? And what are her ties to the mysterious Tagruato Corporation?”

“I sat next to the Syrian and he looked at me curiously. Like he was deciding if I was human, or female and if he wanted to fuck me. He went back to his phone after deciding he did not.”

The first rule of writing is, write what you know.  Lena Dunham is many things, but Syrian refugee is never, and will never be one of those things.  She thinks because she’s a super feminist, that somehow gives her insight into what it means to be a non-white person fleeing from their war-torn country. 

I liked it too.  So there’s two of us :)

I loved the episode. Ive already posted this, but I feel like anyone who is a superstitious sports fan, who has believed that you cost your team the game (because you put your right shoe on before the left today, or wore a away jersey for a home game etc) or vice versa will love this episode. Anyone who didn't enjoy…

It’s weird, I’m normally in agreement with most people when it comes to It’s Always Sunny episodes but this one seems to be hated by about 90% of people, whereas I really loved it. Just in case anyone’s interested, I wrote a full review here: https://comedytowatch.wordpress.com/2018/10/25/tv-review-its-always-sunny-in-…

He has season tickets, too, but he plans to give them away now.

I can imagine that he doesn’t ever want to feel like he did that day. 

Heidi is good at characters, but the writing on these fall into the worst SNL trait of “introduce character’s premise and do nothing else but that for six minutes with no variation”. They’re well-acted, but once you see the first 30seconds and that’s all you need to see since they don’t build to more.

Heidi Gardner is very talented actress who skillfully portrays characters that bore the crap out of me.

Yeah. I understand why I should like Heidi, and I genuinely do like her sometimes (she was good in Cuba Couple). But her pure character pieces on Update all have a similar trying-too-hard vibe that I find irritating.

I disliked Baskin Johns. She reminded me too much of when Heidi played the teenage movie reviewer. Same vocal cadence, same type of behavior.

I thought this better than a C+, and I think the body of the review did too. First of all, Simon’s backup band was phenomenal, especially on “Can’t Run But.” So refreshing to have a short, clean monologue that’s a story instead of a very strained bit of bad comedy (and singing). I think I got a crush on Heidi Gardner.…

Politics Corner is making a temporary departure from all the happy news I usually cover, to discuss the story of Jamal Khashoggi. This legal US resident, working for the failing Washington Post (enemy of the people folks, everybody knows it) fled Saudi Arabia for his own safety. Criticizing the Saudi government can be…

I thought she fell for the con too. I saw her expression even as one of relief as Jimmy was finally getting all of the grief she thought he had all season.

“You’re fighting CHILDREN?”

Mac and Charlie beat the shit outta those kids.

Perhaps the sport is experiencing some self selection, their lot just has the most powerful sweat glands and we just can’t handle it.

Hit the showers!
