Neighbor: Puttin' on the mitts Oven Mitts Exterminator: Gnat-ural Born Killers I had a cricket hidden in a crevice that wouldn't shut up recently, so that whole plot was incredibly relatable. I think we ended up spraying the crevice and then the noise stopped. I really liked all of Gene's weird lucid dreams. I loved all the weird animation when Gene was trying to play his keyboard. No shock that his dream song ended up being lame. Questioning your creative efforts is a hell of a mood. The one he wrote at the end was actually really good! But Gene was right, that contest would've made him sign the rights away. It was a good call, but maaaaan, it made the whole plot a shaggy dog story. I missed Mr. Ambrose and his loud whispering.

Daphne had no business being that good looking of a character. I liked that there's another manticore, also voiced by Matt Berry. And he's horny for Deliria. I did like how Tyrannis's superpower of being a boring stick in the mud party killer ended up saving the day.

That Dramatic Chipmunk meme is old enough to vote. As are references to Jim looking at the camera in The Office. Really wish I hadn't read that episode summary, it ruined the twist for me. I was waiting for the reveal that Lifeboat was all a scam. It took me a bit to realize the plot is all a reference to Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, whose only crime was scamming rich people. Which, in this country, is the worst crime of all. Honestly, that tattoo gun that was able to suck up the tattoo ink back into it without pain was the billion dollar idea. Honestly, I trust Persephone to run Twitter more than Musk. Of course Burns' issue with her wasn't that she was evil (he loves evil!), but she kept insisting she's good. I did like that he somehow got her high school friends in the divorce. I honestly could've watched more of the fake, mundane Get Back clips.

Season 35, ep 4: Thirst Trap: A Corporate Love Story Airs 10/29/23 I mean...I really do wonder why they're holding off the THOH until next week if they've been airing new episodes without interruption.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's why Pedro Pascal can come on, as long as he's like "hey guys, I'm Pedro Pascal" and be in sketches where he plays Marcello's mom.

Cold Open: Biden Halloween sketch! Mikey Day is playing him now? JAJ wasn't even Trump to justify that, it's weird. Man, what a way to cover John Mikeson Mike Johnson and his adult black son. And then here comes Walken to save the sketch! Please tell me he's here to introduce the Foo Fightahs. (he was) Monologue: It's been a long time since we had a standup that wasn't either a castmember or someone that hosted already. Was Amy Schumer the last one? This is what we get when there's an actor's strike. But he was funny. Chef Showdown: The reveal that Nate made the perfect soul food dish was fun. Him being all apologetic is totally a mood. Even Padma couldn't believe it! Kenan outright saying "kill yourself" to this offense was not on my bingo card tonight. A Stab At Love: A Hallmark Christmas movie but it's a Halloween slasher was a great premise. Honestly it's an untapped market. Washington: Yeah, our units of weights and measures are weird. And yeah, taking out the "u" in words except "glamour" was only to get away from the British. Drinking on a Lake Beach: This was a fun song. Yeah, lake beaches are lame. Dave Grohl really brought it. Fran Drescher: Here's our Sarah Squirm sketch, taking the piss out of those SAG-AFTRA strike rules that seem really really pointless, like dressing up for Halloween or not doing NY Comic Con panels for shows that ended years ago. (Yes, I'm still bitter about that). "The wig is fake but the wine is real!" was line of the night. That little kid dressed as Hoda is going places. WU: Of course they had plenty of material on Mike Johnson. Generated by AI and "looks like every MSNBC Host combined" are perfect descriptions of him. Apparently Sarah as Colin's agent was cut from last week. That wig alone was killing me. I loved it. The Kenya joke was upsettingly great, as were the Vermont and Olive Oil jokes. Airplane Lawyers: I laughed at everyone booing the teacher and applauding the mother (before dunking on her). Liked Dave Grohl showing up at the end (honestly, why couldn't he host?!). Fun premise, and it was short! Feels like Dave got cut off after delivering the punchline. Apparently the real ending got cut, according to someone who was at dress. Please Don't Destroy: They invented Bachelor Chow! Just the boys eating dog food. Just stupid as all hell, I loved this one. Apparently John was only five years old? (in dog years he's about 35) Aww, they had a tribute to Matthew Perry at the end. All in all...okay show. We all want the SAG-AFTRA strike to end, most of all Fran Drescher Sarah. Timothee Chalamet is hosting on November 11th, and here I am wondering how that's possible. He'd be on promoting Wonka, so maybe it's okay as long as he doesn't talk about it? I don't know.

Honestly, It'd be criminal if this show didn't have a Valentine's Day episode.

In small doses she's great. Definitely trying for Boston, she was channeling her Zazu character from SNL.

So Rick and Jerry were simultaneously each other in each other's bodies. Totally not confusing at all. I really liked the dynamic of their fused selves. Jerricky was horrifying, but hilarious especially since a Sideshow Bob-esque rake to the face is what snapped them out of it. Man, this was a good one.

She WOULD keep shrimp tails.

I honestly love the image of Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck in a mustache themed hippy band. So of course they're rivals. That was not Tom Selleck voicing himself, sadly. Of course Peter's idea of NYC is the M&Ms store and the ESPN Zone.

Neighbor: Bohemian Hat City Exterminator: Do I Make You Hornet, Baby? Burger of The Day: A League of Pear Own Burger Of course Gene would name Bob's hemorrhoid. And his butt. Aww man, Nat's busy, so Bob's driving the limo. I wish they brought up Bob being the cab driver back in season 1. Loved seeing Jen again. And she's teaching night school! Rachel Dratch was perfect as Gretchen's sister. The ending was really sweet in that Bob's way. Linda reminded Gretchen that big sisters aren't perfect, the strippers got to come, and Tina didn't get to see anything. Loved Gretchen passed out on the floor during the credits.

“Maybe I’d rather be Oedipus.” “Ha! Not a chance, stud.”

Title: Agnes as a pterosaur! Couch Gag: Loved Homer's sports car daydream. With Dick Van Dyke in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I was shocked that it was actually the couch gag! And it was called back in the episode! So the new neighbors moved into Ruth Powers's old house. I appreciate Hank Azaria using his Brockmire voice for Thayer. I love a lambo that can detect and blow out unpleasant thoughts. Loved Lisa's idea of cyberbullying Nelson: having video footage of him nursing an injured hummingbird. I can buy that Evergreen Terrace was where Jebediah Springfield founded the town, as much of an asspull as that is (Fieldspring sadly didn't stick). I did like the flashforward acknowledged Homer being an astronaut, and Lisa still becoming president.

Season 35, ep 3: McMansion & Wife Airs 10/22/23

Cold Open: Jim Jordan sketch! Man, he sucks, and he's on a loooooong list of Republicans that suck. Like George Santos. And Lauren Boebert. And Trump. JAJ really is the best part of these sketches. Monologue: "I've never seen or heard of Bad Bunny." "He was the musical guest on the Regé-Jean Page episode." "...still doesn't ring a bell." He was charming, though. I see this being a banner week for Marcello. Bringing in Pedro Pascal was the right call. Fuego: Mikey as Eminem is something they've been saving for a while, haven't they? It was okay, and then it just...ended. The Age of Discovery: Surprise Fred Armisen! And the llama is actually in a sketch and not hanging out back stage! [A horse, but worse!] was the best of the sketch for me. Telenovela: Punkie leading a sketch! Bad Bunny is way more of a natural in Spanish, I have to say. And random Mick Jagger cameo?! And he was the best part! I'm gonna quote the previous sketch, why didn't they lead with that?! Please Don't Destroy: Wasn't feeling this until they cut to everyone in costume. The terrible CGI had me dying WU: "Sleepier than 20 Cosby's" definitely was a Joke Swap joke. This was a fun one, but it was actually short! Something must've gotten cut. Marcello's Family: As soon as Pedro Pascal showed up in the monologue, I KNEW a sketch was coming! And of course Benito was gonna play his aunt. We got the chancla and putting the sewing supplies in the cookie tin! Benito was like the third banana in his. Pedro is just that good. The Right Track: Subway stuff was great. It's a sequel to that Waffle House sketch, but the NY version. "Why is this seat wet?!" was a hell of a mood. Sister Theresa: A sketch with all the women! Really liked Sarah in this. Horny nuns might be an easy premise, but I laughed. And then Mick Jagger showed up. Burt's Bees: We've all had that one co-worker who can't stop talking about their lives that has nothing to do with anything. All in all, I was right about this being a banner week for Marcello. But man, Mikey was in every sketch it felt like. Well, they tried their best, let's hope the actor's strike ends soon and they get what they deserve. Nate Bargatze hosts next week. It's been a long, long time since they've had on a stand-up that either wasn't a castmember or already hosted half a dozen times. They're nepo babies. One's Tim Herlihy's kid, another is Steve Higgins's son.

He also rejected a sketch revolving around how he named all his kids after himself.

1) Hugh married Gene's cousin, so he's an in-law. 2) Most likely got him because he also played a character on Koala Man. The new voices were fine, but it really sounded like everyone was off, not just Rick, Morty, and Mr. Poopy Butthole. I also liked how there was no B-story in this episode. Rick portaled to assemble the crew and we didn't see the rest of the Smiths for the rest of the episode.

I just loved the absurdity of Robo Ghost. We got the gang back together! Mr. Poopybutthole (whose name is Wayne?!) is messed up! Squanchy's alive! And Birdperson found his daughter! And then everyone got high with Hugh Jackman and fought a Predator. I wasn't expecting any of that and loved it. So how to improve the show: Don't let Justin Roiland anywhere near it.

Kenan somehow managed to be awake in time to show up to the Good Burger 2 panel with Kel at NYCC today. It was a real good time, and we saw the first ten minutes! There was also a big booth that recreated the Good Burger from the movie. You sat in it and played a rhythm game about burgers against someone else, and you got a sweet Good Burger pin if you won. I didn't win.

"Damn, Sailor Moon" was the only thing I could make out. Speaking of NY Comic Con, Kenan somehow managed to be awake in time to show up to the Good Burger 2 panel with Kel today. It was a real good time, and we saw the first ten minutes! There was also a big booth that recreated the Good Burger from the movie. You sat in it and played a rhythm game about burgers against someone else, and you got a sweet Good Burger pin if you won. I didn't win.

I was praying real hard that the show wouldn't come back this soon. I've been at NYCC all weekend and I am drained and I was hoping to sleep for once. Nevertheless, I am here. Cold Open: Oh boy, a serious one. But very well done. Hey, Please Don't Destroy is in the intro now! They made finally made it! Monologue: I liked this. Laughed so hard at him losing the audience at "one for two." NFL Sunday: Okay, it's a Taylor Swift sketch. I honestly love the premise of everyone on NFL Sunday being a Swiftie. And then Travis Kelche showed up for two seconds. I'm Just Pete: And now the Barbie spoof. Pete is Kenough. And I've seen enough Barbie and Ken cosplayers the past three days to last a lifetime. It had to end with Pete driving into the Barbie Dreamhouse. That was great. Wired Autocomplete Interview: I can see Pete ruining a Delta flight with terrible diarrhea. Trudy: Smashing the desk was the biggest laugh for this weird sketch. Please Don't Destroy: lol, love watching kids at Showtime At The Apollo. And Mulaney bombing there. And yeah, the PDD guys are the whitest people that have ever been on this show, and that's saying something. WU: Oddly big pop for Colin Jost. Got a laugh of "Gay's Porn For Kids." That "Ebony Alerts" joke was a pure joke swap joke, I'm sure of it. Loved it. Kenan as Deion Sanders was worth it for constantly trolling Colin. Marley: Oh, it's a Bowen sketch. Now he's a weird alien that used to work on a spaceship. I also couldn't take my eyes off of Pete's fingers. Are they naturally that long? Beach: Andrew Dismukes having to console Pete while buried in the sand was fun. Glamgina: Sarah Squirm time! Loved all the ladies popping up out of nowhere. New girl got a line, too! Roadhouse Bar: Dismukes with an OnlyFans would definitely clean up. Definitely weird how he and Pete seemed so adamant to see Kenan's feet. So all in all, fun premiere! Bad Bunny does double duty next week because the studios won't pay actors their fare share/can't let go of AI.

Went to the NYCC panel today! We got to see the trailer, and then the opening (which was great), and then a scene from ep 1! They gave everyone tote bags at the end.

Archer: Into The Cold. Airs December 17th! I was at the NYCC panel. After they screened the finale, we got to see the first ten minutes of the first ep, it really felt like a return to classic Archer. Also, they gave everyone tshirts!

So, this ends with Archer doing what he does best: hating Fabian's guts. Those punches, vomiting, and hand chopping were a long time coming. And now we know why Zara was kept around: to use her Interpol ID to break Fabian out. Of course Cheryl purposefully screws up her paperwork so she's technically not an employee so she won't pay taxes. And also rat everyone out to the UN. And private spy agencies are now illegal. Hell of a way to end. It's been an honor. 14 seasons, and I've been here for all of it. The NYCC panel is on Friday and I'll be going to it. They'll either announce another season OR a grand finale movie. They wouldn't advertise the panel on TV if the announcement was anything else. This wasn't supposed to be the last season, FXX outright cancelled it.
