Yes, that's how I think it's going to go down as well, but this show constantly fucks with one's expectations.

Oh I'm pretty sure I've got more than 20, but it took me 3-4 years to acquire that many. It's buying games in bulk that makes no sense to me.

I've been into board games for the last few years and I'm at the same point - I just want to play the things I have for now. Sometimes I go on r/boardgames and these weirdos who've just gotten into games display their collections - it's 20 games that they've bought in 2 months, half of which are still in plastic; I'm

I don't think the consistency has gone down - although I think WYR could salvage an otherwise blah episode, now I just skip most eps where I don't know the guests - I just think that without WYR and the other games, Scott's comedic voice gets a bit lost on his own show. WYR reversed the flow of the interviews and

I think the format of the show has changed, though I'm unwilling to do any research to back this up. I think in the days of WYR, the format of the show was often regular guest/character guest/WYR/plugs/end, and that more often now the format of the show is regular guest/character guest/character guest/plugs/end.

Haha, I remember when Dana Carvey made a crack about Seeso and Aukerman quickly responded that he was an EP on two shows there.

While I've talked about how CBB has changed for the worse over the last few years, Scott still gets some of the best improvisers to do silly bullshit for 90 minutes every week. There's no reason to end the show.

Oh, for some reason I really loved the line from Pete's friend who was to be baptized - 'We rent something every Friday - we call it 'Movie Night'. I know the Office and Parks and Recreation play in this space of regular people finding cliche things to be clever or cute, but I liked how it was done here.

Pete's and her trajectories seem to be moving apart - she's going with God, he's moving away from God. Maybe she'll drop in for an episode next season, but narratively it does not seem to make sense that she would be in the show as much next season - Pete and her live in different places and move in different circles.

I think she was making the somewhat trite point that strippers and comedians aren't very far off from one another in terms of their jobs' requiring their self-debasement for strangers.

Yes, I get it, but I got it the first time the pastor started mentioning gossip about Pete's life, then it continued for 3 more beats on the same topic that were just more elaborate. As a commentary on Christian 'forgiveness', okay, sure, though it's not exactly a revelation. As comedy it fell mostly flat (although

A few thoughts:

Since basically every show now is about a toxic person, I like that they're kind of eliding the fact that Pete is not a good person. I certainly don't think we are rooting for Pete to e.g. tell the open mike guy that he opens for Rachael Ray, or for him to get back with Jess, as he proposed in tonight's episode. I

This seems to be a series send-off for her but I thought she was great in this episode.

I kind of like the heel turn for Leif's character - it's pretty easy to have a 'chill vibe' and pay for your mistress's husband's notebooks for him when you think you've got a ton of money in the bank. That said, I really didn't believe that Leif and Julie could be married to one another - the implication was that it

While I don't need any more Trump in my life either, I suggest you at least familiarize yourself with the work of Atamaniuk as Trump to date - in his first public appearance doing Trump in 2015, he says he wants to fuck his daughter. He's consistently cut through the buffoonishness of Trump (which is itself easy to

Remember, Daly did those characters on stage before he ever did them on Comedy Bang! Bang!, so he's been playing in that space of looking like a regular, boring guy but saying insane things for a long time.

Yeah, this has started to frustrate me as well. Mitch doesn't have a good memory for what stories he's told and Nick can't remember either.

I mean, that's the thing - I don't care about Star Wars, the only Star Wars movie I've seen start to finish is Phantom Menace. But I still enjoy the Doughboys' discussion of it and the Oonkar Plutt references etc.

I've heard this from her in other places/interviews. It's definitely real.
