I was surprised there was no mention of him

The man who bought the school was none other than the recently departed Kevin Samuels.

George Wallace was excellent in this.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Pair that with all of his friends talking him up and their anecdotes getting more and more wistfully admiring with every passing year, and I’m not surprised that now he’s considered a “genius.”

Except that being “a big fat guy who just kind of used his size to make dumb jokes” WAS his thing. Many years ago, Second City had a bunch of SNL writer alums come back to give a couple of talks, and they all hated when Chris Farley interjected himself into a skit. Apparently they would write something that was charact…

Farley’s reputation seems to have been helped a lot by people generally forgetting his embarrassing post-Saturday Night Live movies. Beverly Hills Ninja was wall to wall shitty “Fatty fall down and go boom” jokes. It’s a lot easier for his SNL stuff to be remembered positively when it’s not weighed down by…

I think it’s kind of neat how much Chris Farley’s public reputation has improved over the years.  At the time of his death, I don’t think the general perception was that he was a real comedic genius, so much as a big fat guy who just kind of used his size to make dumb jokes.  But other comedians seems to have been…

Substance was fired.

If anything, Cake Boss sounds like a new Suicide Squad

...or does she know more than Marvel wants leaked?

i feel like this show has lost a step. It’s still good, but it no longer has the perfect balance of reality, surreality, pitch black humor and violence. I feel like Barry has gone full blown psychopath somewhat out of nowhere and the only explanation is that they keep telling us “he’s in a really bad place”. His…

Because of Franklin and Bash, which, admit it, you now remember that it exists, but you didn’t ten seconds ago.

It couldn’t afford to move to LA.

super Bojack joke and I love it

One thematic thread that seems to be pulsing under the surface is that both Barry and Sally have been coping with their past trauma by exploiting it to further their acting careers rather than by trying to reckon with it in an honest way. 

I suppose that the best way for Hank to throw off Batir’s suspicion would be to rig the bomb so that it will take out Barry as well as the Bolivian gang members. 

Huge props for casting Mark Paul Gosselar as the Laws of Humanity attorney/series star. When I heard the title of the show, my brain immediately went to basic cable legal procedural. 

I love Noho Hank’s texting style.

Stephen Root’s “Oh hey, Hank” threw me right back into King of the Hill

a personal favourite overlooked joke in the episode was ‘mr manity’ ‘please, call me hugh’. laws of humanity’s main character is literally called hugh manity. props to the writing team with that one
