Yeah, maybe I just don't have the same affection for Ed Helms/Andy Bernard as some other people, but he was seriously annoying in this episode and I really couldn't fault Jake at all for cutting some corners to avoid working with him.

I'm leaning toward laziness but SNL hasn't been an anti-establishment, gonna-call-out-the-system type of show in a long time. Their most effective political sketches have never come from biting, incisive satire anyway. They've always been best at finding humor that's rooted in personality and icon (ie. Tina as Sarah…

Really? Because I'm 24 and high school/college really isn't like that anymore. It definitely seems like a time capsule of the 90s.

Yeah, it's getting old for sure. And as far as the misguided hippie 90s teenagers theme goes…I mean, is it really anything Ras Trent didn't cover?

Everything about them is so green. I know Che has experience on the Daily Show, but has Jost had ANY screentime on ANY movie/TV show/late night show? Heck, even a web series? Everything about him screams 'opening night at a high school musical'. He looks like they plucked him straight out of his mother's womb.

Wow, I almost wish Lorne had his pick of the best comedians and writers in the country to help him make those jokes.

"Curious turducken of a TV show" is a Shakespearean turn of phrase, man.

She wasn't funny on WU at all IMO, she just looked a lot better sitting next to Colin McBlandyPants.

Seth's speech at the dinner was so biting too, which is kind of funny when you think how toothless WU was when he was at the desk.

She's not really a big name, even by SNL standards, so this is kind of surprising.

Amy wants to be captain but I don't think it's out of some natural propensity for leadership like say, the show is hinting about Rosa. She doesn't necessarily want to be a leader - she just wants approval. Her running for union rep in the last episode was more about her basic competence over Scully than any actual…

Jake probably texts like Chelsea Peretti tweets.

I bet someone else in the precinct ends up fooling them both. My money's on Gina.

I know S2 - 4 were objectively terrible but Wentworth Miller's beautiful face was on my TV every week so I could've taken another ten terrible seasons, honestly.

Is this the first episode you've watched…? Because this doesn't even make the top ten as far as stretching plausibility as cops goes.

Yeah, I kind of think some people are missing the character beats of this episode? Like Jake messing up in this episode wasn't because of straight up stupidity or incompetence like it was for a lot of early S1 - it was because he has: a) an earnest and almost desperate need to be liked and b) issues with authority…

Nah, their worst episode ever was the one where Jake sleeps with the medical examiner and crosses the line from being vaguely annoying to being a legitimate dick. (Unless…is it the same episode as 'black people CAN sell drugs'?)

I just realized why Hitchcock/Scully being the butt of the joke on B99 doesn't rub me the wrong way like the Parks crew ganging up on Jerry does - it's because they still have each other.

I like S2 a whole lot better too and it's almost confounding to me that people prefer S1. Jake was so annoying in S1! And Boyle was so creepy! And they were in real danger of Amy being Ann Perkins 2.0! And they didn't know what to do with Gina half the time!

And that's the title of Terry's sex tape obviously
