Ya, the fact they're just 12 year olds isn't considered by me enough since they sound like they're older and say things way beyond any 12 year old I know. They come off as honest to God teenagers to me sometimes, especially Dipper, which made the whole thing less effective to me than it should have been. My complaint…

You misunderstand me completely. I don't mean they aren't dealing with tough things now, I'm referring to how Dipper and Mabel grew up. They never really faced anything that would make Mabel's position to want to stay in a fantasy world understandable. She just comes off as petty at this point, and the fact that…

This type of episode would have been sooo much better on a show where the main characters went through some actual significant hardships.

I wish they'd just go ahead an make that scrapped Helga TV show instead. I was always more interested in her life and family than Arnold's.

"When did The Good Wife become a comedy"

I guess you can say that he's an acquired taste.

This episode could have just been everyone in the main cast chilling in an apartment somewhere and I would have dug it. Seriously, the main cast is kinda incredible. They should have a bottle episode.

Nathan Fielder's reaction to Dean when he assumed that he was the marriage pass for Fielder's wife was amazing. Biggest laugh of the night for me.

Winning?

The way you phrased that post made me imagine Eli, Alicia, and Peter in a three way, and I'm not sure if I want that image erased from my mind or ingrained in it forever.

The fact that Louise has to tell Gene he needs to tuck his dick away on the way to school is more disgusting than it is funny, kind of like Gene's entire character.

"Welcome to civilization boys, and remember, we walk around on 2s not 4s. Try it, you might like it."

*Jennifer Aniston smirks in triumph*

"Worse, the big lesson Stewart learns in this episode also didn’t ring true."

Love this review, got a lot of what I wanted to say and really contextualized it. The show is feeling itself way too much, and completely misunderstanding its own strengths. The Grace - Chanel pairing is nowhere near as effective as the Zayday - Chanel one.

Any time this show is reviewed below an A-, I imagine an indignant Rogelio telling the reviewer off for being way off base.

Gayle falls into the same category as Gene does for me. Too much of an objectively terrible human being to be funny. You can be a morally bankrupt person and still be funny sure, but these 2 are just terrible all around. They aren't nice, they're incredibly stupid, incredibly annoying, and they only think about…

Gutting? Peter, YET AGAIN, betraying Alicia's trust during a time when she thought she was growing closer with him is one of the oldest tricks in this show's repertoire. It has lost so much of its impact by season 7 I swear.

I'm glad I chose this season to jump back into The Simpsons on, it's been pretty good for the most part so far. Even the weaker episodes have been super quotable.

What the shit does working "blue" mean?
