This was a short video that managed to include: whining about staying home during the pandemic, complaining about minor things like “pronouns,” his millions from Netflix, and his constant mentioning of his “greatness.”

I have thick skin when it comes to comedy, but there wasn’t much to like about version of Dave

Old Dave was more self effacing, paranoid and a little insecure, which was funny and relatable. Now all his comedy is about how dope he is.

He does a lot of social observational stuff. He’s gotten older and wealthier, it’s not all bad, but it’s less relatable. Might have a few yes men in their or people to afraid to correct him or share their actual thoughts because of his power in the comedy world. 

I tried to watch the clip above and had to quit once he started his strawman bitching about everyone staying home (during a pandemic) and whining at him about it, but screw them because he recovered from his bout with COVID. Really? He absolutely changed a while back and the new Dave is just a prick. You still see

Seriously, I don’t begrudge him from using whatever leverage he had to get a better deal but you know, the fans did get played here. 

I’m not loving the new Dave. He seems a little too self righteous, too full of himself, too in love with his own pontifications. Some of all that is a good thing but I think he’s laying in on a bit thick now and it’s cutting into his comedy.

Where’s our cut, Dave?

The final 10 episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which will surely include one Halloween Heist episode, one Pontiac Bandit episode, and one Adrian Pimento episode, is coming later this year (most likely).

Those are the same words I’d use. I’m especially sad we have to wait at least 7 or 8 more months. But it makes sense, because it was strange there was no mention of the show when NBC rolled out its mid-season schedule.

I really wanted it to go out with a nine episode ninth season.

Oh, A.V. Club, you get yourself so worked up about these stupid little awards and THEY DON’T MEAN ANYTHING. None of these awards groups have any POWER. This is just some bullshit they made up and you cling to it like it’s the word of God.  

Because it gave you something of no consequence to write about when you needed content and there was no other content.

Character actor Margo Martindale has got some (what we call in Australia) tuck shop lady arms going and hasn’t caused a stir.

“Our right." F.F.S.

I think it’s definitely a little goofy, but as soon as his former classmates started saying this meant David Hogg was now a Capitalistsupporting mass exploitation, genocide, child labor, slavery” they rocketed past goofy into patently ridiculous and unserious. Let the guy make his trolling, somewhat ill-advised

I’d watch RED in space.

Gethard did a very funny comedy set called Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese, which is all New Jersey material. (And if you get the title reference, you will probably enjoy the album.)

Luckily I think the odds of them managing to schedule both Elisabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany for another months-long shoot are pretty low: film actors usually like to keep doing features lest casting agents start to think of them as “tv actors”.

I really hope there is no season 2.  This show really seems like a great idea for a limited series but keeping it going on and on will suck

When Sanders’s campaign was petering out, she was criticized for not doing enough to save it.
