Joe Pera Talks With You is just so weird and funny and heartfelt. I can understand if it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s probably the perfect AS show, in the sense that it’s so idiosyncratic that only 20% of viewers will like it, but that 20% will love it to death.

My take is that Reed and Thompson are polymaths that are interested in and knowledgeable about so many things that they have a hard time focusing on a project for more than a couple seasons. A glib description would be to call it creative ADHD.

I thought season 2 and season 3 (in particular) were really good, but it has gone steadily downhill since then.  I didn’t even bother watching the last season.

I bet Whitey here likes to pray

I have a visceral dislike for nearly everything that Tim and Eric did, but like you, I surprisingly enjoyed Tom Goes To The Mayor. Something about the visual style really clicked with me.

“However, when he’s not in the movie then it becomes just a boring drama.”

Just take the L, dumbass.

There is a 0% chance that the Mary Kate Carr tried to contact Rob Schneider for comment.

I never realized until now that the guy he hits is Porky.  What a perfect touch.

“It’s poetic justice how the closest thing Rob Schneider has to a comedy legacy is a parody of him made by more talented people.”

That’s what I was thinking.  Maybe Damon thought the overall crowd response was tepid, but I wouldn’t gauge that based to the crowd singing or not singing along to a particular song.  As someone who likes Blur but has never seen them live, I wouldn’t even necessarily peg “Girls and Boys” as a singalong song.

“Which is something I should rectify, considering I love Damon’s voice.”

“Common People” was a pretty big hit here, although I’m guessing the ration of Americans who have heard it vs. the amount who have heard “Song 2" is somewhere around 1-to-10.

That reminds me of the (now hoary) old joke: “Who was better, Oasis or Blur? Answer: Pulp”

“and an offbeat spaceman drama, First Man”

“One famed Bronco owner, however, has things even worse”

“Your last name is basically shit rash, be serious”

Goodyear?

Oh please, fuck off.  That’s not what he said and you know it.
