Same, but I at least appreciate the Digable Planets shout-out.

I was already planning on coming in here and saying "you guys missed 'Never Have I Ever' which I totally get because it's Unfriended," but then it was included. Well done. I loved that scene.

SING, BROTHERS, SIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Yeah, I like "Everybody's Got the Right" well enough, but I think "Another National Anthem" is a way better choice for this particular list.

If Max holding the rifle expands out far enough to the Bullet Farmer's total meltdown while "Dies Irae" is playing, then that's enough for the top spot. If not, then it's totally the Doof Warrior fight scene.

Yeah, Linda is probably the Coen Brothers character that Peggy most closely resembles, but Peggy's not quite on that level of pure, cruel selfishness; she seems willing to let Ed be part of her magical fantasy world, at least. And her path of destruction has claimed the two worst Gerhardt siblings instead of poor,

I can't shake the feeling that her ending is going to be somehow making it to California, ending up working as a hairdresser again, and not having learned a single goddamned thing.

I would watch an entire Peggy Blumquist spinoff that's just her wandering into high-stakes crime scenarios and ruining it for everyone but herself. Just this chipper, blithe avatar of chaos.

I thought he was going to somehow end up setting off a shitstorm, possibly by interfering with Hahnzee's shot at Ed. Instead he just sat there watching the whole fucking time. So good.

This is an amazing Random Roles. Really really enjoyable.

Me, five minutes in: "Aw man, Kieran Culkin's already great in this. I can't wait to see him weasel around this season fucking up everyone's plans and whatnot."

See, I didn't think the military course was all that harsh as much as it was a relatively inexperienced field, and the I-Beam was pretty tricky. To me, the real nightmare course was Venice with its wonky trampoline.

The Japanese announcer gradually growing irritated at her for celebrating for like 30 straight seconds over clearing the first obstacle was hysterical.

Especially in the way she did. It's one thing to, say, not have the wingspan needed for the Jumping Spider. It's another thing to overshoot the trampoline and just go tumbling into the water. That interview where she was breaking down over being a disappointment this year was heartbreaking.

I definitely think they're going to make stage one crueler. The funny thing is that the city finals this year were waaaay more brutal than they usually are, so when so many cleared the stage immediately after I was shocked.

I think his name isn't impossible to pronounce, but fuck if I can ever remember how to spell it.

I like it. It's in my "good enough to watch on my lunch break at work" rotation; not great yet, but I'm three episodes in and it's pretty good at doing the Norman Lear-style sitcom thing. And David Alan Grier can pretty much make anything his character does funny.

Oh right, that's the exception. The Donald Trump troll doll descending down is a winner.

I remember Dat Phan mostly because he basically exists as a go-to example for why trying to be both a skill-based reality show (a la Top Chef and Project Runway) and a voting-based reality show (a la American Idol) doesn't work. The editors basically won that season of Last Comic Standing for him.

I like Mike Yard, though I think his best stuff was actually early on and he's fallen off a little bit. Any time the correspondent is some sort of abstract thing ("And now with some perspective on the Tom Brady situation, a FOOTBALL!") I immediately hit fast-forward, though.
