The constant speaking in quotes this episode definitely took me out of the show. I guess I can see it as a character choice by a nervous fella who feels he has to constantly assert his intelligence.

I had misgivings about Hank not checking on Peggy last week, but his recognition of his fuckup + the things you mentioned made it work fine for me.

So many it took me past the point of them being "nods" and to the point of Hawley et al. just straight up lifting material from the movies.

So identical it took me out of the episode.

I laughed out loud at "You're a shit cop. You know that, right?" I had thought Schmidt falling for Simone's obvious advances was too stupid for him, but maybe I just hadn't been as observant of him as Lou had.

Unfortunately I didn’t care at all, because Simone’s plotline is the weakest element of the show thus far

Oddly enough, Todd himself isn't very good at this.

Or, probably more accurately, as candid as we would like.

Yeah, but that's because you don't have some bizarre grudge against the "Tandy Fan Club" and come here every week to rant about what a horrible person he is and how the hell could anybody like him or root for him.

I lost it when Phil was retelling When a Man Loves a Woman, then slipped into When Harry Met Sally, then decided the right voice for Andy Garcia was Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.

…are you saying it's time for the Tandy Fan Club to wise up to the fact that Tandy is not an amoral sociopath who has no compunctions about engaging in mass killing to protect himself?

…what?

This explanation just raises further questions!

Yeah, he kissed his brother!

Probably mine too, especially because I fucking hate "Tears in Heaven." Although, at any given moment in time, I'm more prone to bursting into "Talkin' 'bout the weather report, ohhhh YEAHHHH…"

Search for "David Cross open letter to Larry The Cable Guy."

Speaking of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I just caught that the bad guy in last week's episode was named Grady Lamont. Was Mike Schur watching a lot of Sanford and Son when he wrote this?

Sounds like your neighbor has an Amazing Mom!

I'm surprised none of the comments I've read have mentioned the Mr. Show "Recruiters" sketch, which was a similar realistic-feeling documentary about a totally absurd premise.

Promise number three: Our spokeman will NOT try to have sex with your child if you bring it to the store. That's the Jimmy Johns difference!
