The gags about Eleanor understanding nothing about the life or perspective of a nine year old girl (how old are you, three? well, good luck on the SATs) were ridiculous and perfect

“No, mom. Ya basic.” Delivered so sincerely.

Jack McBrayer is the Don Knotts of the 21st century.

Not sure if anyone else caught the Manchester by the Sea and The Legend of Zelda Fitzgerald arcade games at Funtime, but damn, do I wish they were real.

Please do!

“They put the “anal” in “artisanal.””

The best thing you can eat in Detroit isn’t some artisanal doughnut or vegetable carpaccio or pork belly sliders—it’s a freakishly good $3.38 egg roll filled with corned beef and cheese

You made a lot of great points, but of course it was the last comment that made me do a google search, especially since I have a friend who owns one.

Yeah, I’m not feeling this review at all. I mean, the montage of Tina’s boys through the seasons at the end alone (hello, zombie basketball team callback!)...

Not really the same thing, but the Airplane reference reminded me of the time at my first job when they had received a fax (yes, it was that long ago) that had been garbled in transmission. I walked into the office and the manager pulled it off the fax machine, handed it to me, and said, “What can you make of this?”

One of my all time favs goes, unsurprisingly, to The Simpsons:
“Come on Homer, you enjoy Japanese culture. You liked Rashomon.”
“That’s not the way I remember it.”

It’s not complicated—you can explain the joke in about five seconds to someone who hasn’t seen the movie—but if you have, it’s just instantly hilarious.

You can argue who comes off worse in the Dan/Chevy feud that got Harmon fired for season 4. They were both assholes. The difference is, Harmon has grown, and Chase hasn’t. I imagine one of the things that pushed Harmon into therapy was that Chevy Chase was basically like his Ghost of Christmas Future. Spirit, is it…

This show is most definitely a tragedy. There’s a nervous tension because of memories of older seasons and the previous show that we know anything can and will happen.

Gotta love how they’ve turned montages into an artform at this point. 

Evidently my German is complete scheisse.

Wer ist Kai? Kai ist tot, maedchen, Kai ist tot.

Honestly, I think dating profiles for straight men should have a box to check if they’re housebroken.

Why is Kristen Bell there and not Mary’s home girl from the hood? They should have had her tiptoeing across the stage with her plate of food.
