There was one in ivory at the effing supermarket the other day.  Almost forgot to go shopping.

Know what they should call it?  I know what they should call it . . . . Box Office POISON!!

Thought the cold open pre-emptively snarking on the rut they got into last year was a solid choice, and it gave Teller good lines and Hamm a chance to do a cameo that actually delivered comedically.

I took the sentiment as snark.  Kind of like South Park’s cuttlefish or asparagus conundrum.

Ah zigga zig Asaaaah!

It felt like so much of a 2022 iteration of ‘Episodes’ that I thought Levitan had to be involved in that show. But that was Klarik and Crane. Maybe Levitan watched it and thought he could do something juxtaposing ‘90s funny with contemporary funny like K&C did juxtaposing British and American funny.

I knew Wendt; was from Chicago, and was Sudekis’ uncle, and Sudekis grew up in KC suburbs. . . But didn’t know how those connections coalesced.

I remember those girls in high school who would keep their boyfriend fully occupied in social gatherings pointing out other guys at the bar or party who were supposedly ‘eying them.’ Always seemed like testing said boyfriend’s chivalry and machismo was intended to both soothe their co-dependent anxiety and serve as…

Particularly since it brought to mind a little jingle from Kevin Smith’s Hollywood Babble-On.

The owl’s gaze is bad juju.  Last season one of the kids freaked out that Uncle even kept that shit hanging up at his house.

Chickashay, shaw, shay, SHIT!

Michelle can go strident, but she’s a seasoned standup. She has a sense from travelling the nation’s ‘chuckle huts’ of when to push that stridency and when to step back and deflate her own aura with a self-deprecating punchline.

I tried, I really tried, with Chad.  I have a ton of affection for Nasim, she seems lovely and talented. . . But Chad was dire.  Best I can analogize is the difference between Chad and funny would be the difference between David Brent being his usual obtuse self, and David Brent sputtering and flailing to win the…

Wait, wait, . . . I’m worried what you heard was . . . . 

It’s a lifelong source of amazement how many people, no matter how popular or powerful, never evolve past the insecurities of adolescence.
