Hmm. I will admit I was expecting sharper jokes, as I really believe that he is usually quite clever. But again, I think that's just because his main goal was to tell a story, not to have the audience in stitches. Meanwhile in his standup, Aziz is mostly going for laughs. And when you think about it, MoN is more…

I'm surprised that not everyone agrees that this was a funny show. I thought it did an outstanding job of weaving humor into serious storytelling, almost on par with Mike Birbiglia. Gethard had me laughing out loud throughout and gasping for breath more than once.

I agree with some other commenters that this was not a hilarious special, but I also don't think that was the point–it's more of a one-man show with a comedic flair. As for those who didn't find his stories interesting, I want to put some pressure on that reaction. You can't help how you feel, of course, but I think…

Nah, I mean…Valencia and Heather don't really say anything, and Paula's reaction actually bothers me a lot - she should have realized at that moment that Rebecca has much deeper problems than she realized, and should have been trying to calm her down rather than rile her up.
Meanwhile, her father's cruelty is…

Oz's stoicism is legendary but Patrick wasn't dealing out sick zingers

I loved the Winston & Aly bits, I'm glad it was the A story. But jesus, the hike was such a let-down. Having Jess and Robby break up because they're related totally diluted the message that being similar is different from being compatible, and deprived the separation of any emotional impact. It was also totally…

Well I think usually we're led to believe that everything is happening in her mind and that Rebecca herself understands that - but in this moment, it seems like she genuinely loses her grip on what is real and what's just in her head. That moment when the wind disappears isn't her coming out of the fantasy - it's the…

Are we not gonna talk about Rebecca fighting with the Wind? How it disappears and we see her yelling at nothing, suggesting that she's literally interacting with her fantasies as if they're real, suggesting she's worse than ever? No? Ok.

This week on Reading Too Much Into It: Jess and Robbie both wore red this episode, while Nick wore green - possibly an indication that Jess and Robbie are too alike, while Jess and Nick are, so to speak, complementary.

honestly Holt's windsor knot bit was the funniest moment of the season

My favorite item on Jody's list of grievances: "My alcoholism is too high-functioning for anyone to intervene"

"Ping Pong Girl" was amazing but I couldn't help feeling it was a missed opportunity to send up "Pinball Wizard"

No one else seems to feel this way so maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm a little troubled by the Nick/Reagan storyline for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I think it's really trashy of Nick to try to get with a girl by inviting her to live with him (pretty extreme in my opinion, even though it made some logistical sense…
