also a young Zooey Deschanel and, inexplicably, Seth Green

You brought up some good points so this just became a Ted listen!

Stay off Twitter. The anti Ted trolls are out en force.

A disaster happens and suddenly everyone (not an attack on you, the exact opposite - referring to the people you’re speaking about) is a structural engineer and an infectious diseases specialist and an expert in whatever calamity happened next.

I often compare Lee to Eastwood. As personas, they’ve become predictable self-parodies, molding their images seemingly to fit public perception. As filmmakers they’re empathetic, idiosyncratic, and unpredictable. I don’t think it’s performance art though - I think artists often can only access that part of themselves…

Counterpoint: I’d rather sit in a room full of people who can sit through Babe, than listen to the conversations I’m inevitably going to have with a room full of Joker fans.

Spoiler alert for his post down thread: He is.

“Assless chaps” is funny; just “chaps” is not (or at least less so). So the former is worth using in relevant situations, but especially in irrelevant situations.

Bring back the zany animated series, please.

Sorry Denis, but I’m not going to the theater for you. I’m vaccinated, but that vaccine only works so well against the delta variant. And even if it protects me from getting very sick, I might be contagious, and I live in a building with elderly and infirm people and unvaccinted children, and I’m not going to risk…

Ok Piers.....

That’s the face of a man who has definitely tied Polly Pureheart to the railroad tracks at least once.

It’s also fun to see BD Wong as this blue collar, down-to-Earth guy, after associating him with classy, intellectual types for so long. 

Please take your misinformation elsewhere...

Speaking of songs, it was a bold move just going and crushing everyone’s Whamaggedon in August like that.

I watched it and it felt like a warm hug, and I’m as cynical a bastard as they come. I honestly watched the entire episode on the verge of tears. Then I looked across the room and both of my parents (including stoic dad) were misty-eyed. I swear I’m going to watch it again tonight before I go to bed. 

This was kind of the quintessential Ted Lasso episode.

Because the dentist generally can’t (or shouldn’t) diagnose an issue over the phone, and because getting in to see a dentist - particularly on a holiday - is not the easiest thing to do on short notice. Finding a neighbor who was a dentist and having her take a quick look at Phoebe also circumvented the whole process…

I laughed really hard at this exchange:
