You might even say that the viewer's indifference matches Jerry's and drives a lot of the humor. 

The role requires that she keeps a lid on things even while it is clear there is quite a bit raging below the surface (season 3 happens to been her best season for this).  That said, bringing comedic timing or even a very ebullient presence isn't something she has ever done well.  A very reserved sort of performance…

Plus, for good reason Larry David leaves his commitment to CYE as open-ended enough that he never commits to new seasons until he actually has ideas for it.  Not that NBC would have gone for it, but had they worked out to do new episodes every other year or only when they felt they had good material, the show could…

I should clarify that I have mostly avoided those discussions because I couldn't shake its association to other young-adult novels.  I suppose I am just shocked to find out that someone even attempted to make a PG-13 version of that movie/novel. 

I can keep track of spending much easier by checking when I have made withdrawals from ATMs.  Unless it is something work related, you could really do without the whole concept of receipts and still know where your money is going. 

Having only learned what the premise of the books are quite recently, I am surprised it doesn't draw more comparisons to Battle Royale. 

"Feels like an Arby's night," is my go to suggestion whenever eating out. 

He had to work in the effusive praise of the Chinese Restaurant that he never fails to mention, but it was a much more fair review than usual.  Plus, Sims comparison to the Simpsons and the Office were spot on. 

I would like to point out that Jerry's 'I got jiggy with it' line was bad enough that it more or less justifies saying they had run out of funny things to do.  Of course, the Puerto Rican Day Parade is the best example of why it was a good thing the show ended when it did.

"I think the best comparison is the ninth and tenth seasons of The Simpsons, where the show was still really funny but suddenly seemed to be lacking whatever magic it had before."Although season 9 of the Simpsons still counts as Golden Era to me, that comparison does work well.  Oddly, the post David years of Seinfeld…

Mad Men was the perfect role for her stilted delivery, but it wouldn't be some loss for the world if she didn't find much work outside of that.  She really has gotten farther than she should have based solely on her looks. 

I think he is trying to back off his reputation for films like Wicker Man. 

'Drugs.'  In spite of being both simple and innocuous by this show's standards, I laughed the most at Francine's admission that she was stealing to buy drugs. 

He is German, a fact that the writers have gotten an impressive number of jokes out of.  I don't want tons of Klaus-centric episodes, but it was nice to see just one. 

Kenny was right though; it was the perfect time to use a identical twin to fuck with someone.  I guess it just suffered for comparison in terms of terrible behavior when the funeral was the next scene

The use of Candlebox and Pearl Jam was another stroke of genius too. 

The Iranians I have met have all been in the midwest and they tended to have more nuanced politics.  All were resolutely anti-regime, but they also regard the Shah as a poor guarantor of secularism and thought he had more in common with the secular dictators of Uzbekistan and Kzyghstan than any sort of actual…

At least they didn't discriminate by gender.  Persian women are also several shades more gorgeous than those women in the picture, so it isn't as if they just picked some slobs with hot wives/girlfriends.  

Based on us all being fat dudes who never leave the house, Game of Thrones seems like a much better guess. 

@avclub-ff106e6c37bdf72c1903080b91d5b2c8:disqus  He actually gets a big of range out of the characters he voiced on Home Movies.  People associate him with McGuirk so strongly that they tend to forget that he was also Jason.
