Has Tina Fey EVER been a Girls’ girl? Historically, a lot of her humor has involved performative White Lady Feminism while simultaneously sniping at and slut-shaming other famous women.

Is...Tina Fey...not a girl’s girl???

My first 10 years of work life were in restaurants and food service. It was wild, and fun, and crazy at times. This show...this fucking show... distorts and exaggerates and just makes me miserable when I watch it. It is absolutely not a comedy. I don’t give a fuck what the creators say. Especially after that abusive…

The Bear should compete in the Anxiety Inducing Series category.

Yeah, agree. Terrific show, not a comedy. It is funny often, but that's not its primary mode. If it's a comedy, so is Uncut Gems. I think of both as primarily dramas with off-the-charts tension; that tension, strangely, is what makes both of them also kind of funny. 

Except there are any number of more traditional comedies on the air/streaming. This is not what comedy shows look like. This is what *some* comedy shows look like. It's a bigger field than these awards imply.

I’d like them to explain why they, and not the superior Reservation Dogs, got nominated. I like The Bear a lot but it can't touch Res Dogs.

I like thinking of The Bear as a surreal horror.

If you have to explain to people why you’re a comedy...then you are not a comedy.

For people who haven’t worked in hospitality: it’s a dramedy.

The Bear isn’t a comedy. It just isn’t. The only real counter people have had is that it has had a few funny scenes like the kids passing out on drugged punch or Fak bickering with Richie. But having a few funny scenes doesn’t make a show a comedy. The Sopranos and Mad Men had humorous scenes too (I’d argue they had…

The simple answer is that the producers knew that if they submitted the show as a drama it wouldn’t stand a chance of winning, especially up against a juggernaut like Succession. It’s the same reason there are more than a few actors who have won major awards in supporting categories when they were clearly the leads.

This is really interesting to me, because Fey was just on Seth Meyers and they talked about how some of their writing for SNL hasn’t aged well. You would think she would be more conscious of how something like this would land, both in present day and in the future. It’s a weird joke in either context, tbh. It’s…

There is no logical debate here at all. The Bear is a fantastic show, but it shouldn’t remotely be considered a comedy, and it’s not fair to the other actual comedies to put them in that category.

I love that this slide show complained that the someone should do more research about Ariana DeBose before making a joke of her not being able to sing, and then proceeded in the very next slide to refer to Keri Russel as Matthew Rhys’ “TV wife” and not his actual romantic partner of 9 years (and mother of his child).

Hear, hear.

What. The. Fuck.

I feel your pain. It felt so obvious though, it had to be intentional. The lever being the first clue, then the clunk of the rifle hitting the wood, the overhead shot showing the rifle and well, then Dot looking back with the gun in sight. It’s like she knew this was a bad idea but had already committed to the hiding…

“No daughter of mine”

They’re buying them Prada, and they’re buying them gifts, and they’re going to these events and they’re meeting Kanye and, you know, all this big stuff,” she said of the Kardashians. “I can’t give them that. I don’t have that. I don’t have access to that. I don’t have the money to do that
