I need to watch it again, I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

"What is a choir if not a sorority for The Lord?" Ava speaking true words once again. Also loved her naming the gym the Ava Coleman Memorial Coliseum. "You think they can keep me away from a place that gives out free money on a free plate?" Oh my god, I'm dying. The sub screaming was a hell of a mood. And I wasn't expecting the reveal of the sub to be that they were nonbinary and changing their name messed up the records. I'm glad Barbara finally got her moment to shine. Not surprised that SHE was too modern for the church ladies. I have the feeling Ava related to Barbara so much was that she was in her position in her sorority. I know exactly how ruthless sorority mean girls can be (And Ava is definitely the type to have been in one that ONLY let in mean girls) Loved Mr. Johnson in this. He just wants to be included, but he does NOT want to be part of a thruple. That he was listening in through a bucket against the wall was gold. Jacob, woof, that was painful, trying to be so awful that Zach breaks up with him because he was too scared to do it himself. She's totally not bored because she misses their shenanigans together. She's just bored bored. ; )

That HAD to be on purpose, and that miscalculation is gonna bite Larry in the ass, I'm sure of it.

Loved that 60s style commercial at the end. Letting Moon use the bunker but he insisted that he still had to go to school first (even if Moon ran away) is something Bob and Linda would NEVER do. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing a lesbian prepper aunt that had been living in a bunker since the 60s. And since the bunker isn't locked anymore, it gives an opportunity for the cast to come visit her, and vice-versa whenever the plot needs her. Mean Streets and Hubie Halloween is a hell of a double feature. With taste like that, I'm not surprised that Wolf was unaware that they made movies before 1964.

It might be easier to write a list of who wouldn't call Larry an asshole. (EDIT: and yes, I do realize that's the joke. Who out of everyone called him an asshole? Larry's not gonna let that go.) It's also because it's the closest one to his house! Jeff's house can be seen from the golf course, as shown last week.

And according to Michael Price, all accurate!

That whole Breakfast Loophole bit would've fit right at home on Seinfeld, including someone bringing their own eggs. But only Curb would have Larry going so far to go into the kitchen and bringing Willie Geist with him to find out why they're not cooking his eggs. "I am not Big D. Little D all the way!" Larry IS disgruntled, but Jeff being Disgruntled took me by surprise. Of course being married to Susie, he'd have to vent in a Martin Luther way. And OF COURSE Susie knows he's Disgruntled, and hates that he's too spineless to sign his own name on the letter. I liked how a I Am Spartacus moment saves the day! But then the couples therapist accidentally outs Jeff anyway. I got a feeling that the Willie Geist interview is gonna bite Larry in the ass in a big way in the coming weeks. Oh man, they called out the Seinfeld finale! They're definitely setting up the ending of the show being a callback to it. "You ain't a piss doctor! You're an ASS doctor!" Man, Leon was slaying me this week.

Boat: You're Kriling Me, Smalls Shirt: Farty in The USA Jane Lynch as the long lost Aunt Dirt was fun. Living in a bunker for 60 years, and the first thing Wolf wants to do with her is show her the Look Who's Talking cinematic universe. And what sticks with her is the slang. Sure, "lol" means "lots of loss." "What if a hamburger could help you?" Moon getting straight up rejected by Quinn was devastating. And taking a pig to the practice prepper prom?! Man. But at least they made up in the end. And man, I've been feeling like Moon lately, so I could relate hard. Wow, they were eating Tostitos Scoops, and I was eating Tostitos Scoops while watching this!

There's a Kidney-pper AND a Kid-napper? I like that they exchange each other's mail. Marvin becomes McGruff the Crime Dog as the new cool vigilante to solve all the cool crimes he can't work on was fun. I liked the reveal that it was all a setup by Lt. Kang to teach him a lesson. That isn't learned. Also loved how no one knew that Marvin was McSnuff. I like Mr. Flesh as a sort of greek chorus for Stan (I liked all his outfits in this, like the lunch lady), but eventually someone else is gonna be able to see him. This seems like the type of show that'll go in that direction.

EDIT: Whoops, posted in the wrong thread.

Hippocampus revealing that he was an orphan himself was a surprise. (EDITL And nothing really came of that reveal, unless he really did eventually find Schlub after he built his wheelchair apparatus) And oh no, Hippo inventing school taught kids to be bloosthursty revolutionaries. And Tyrannis's crush on Annarkis turns into a revolution he accidentally started and then ended because he brought her into the system and the status quo. (Oh, she's named Annarkis. For anarchy. How did I not piece that together at first?) I was hoping we'd see more of Mr. Straw and how they'd make some allusion to him being a literal Straw Man, but apparently he'll return someday.

Lisa's full of anxiety that stems for her parents. I feel seen, as the kids say. It felt weird to see actual sponsors on the Go-karts. I caught Pokemon Go, Lunchables, and Pampers Pull-Ups on some of them. Poor Yoshi. He really is the Milhouse of Mario Kart. All the car crashes were beautifully animated. Matt Berry really does make everything better.

Season 35 ep 12: Lisa Gets an F1 Airs 2/25/24

If I read right, "Go Packers Go" is owned by NBC Universal by way of RCA, so they were able to use it.

We got ourselves a cut for time sketch. Criminal that THIS was cut and stuff like the GB Packers butt plug was kept in.

Apparently that was his signature bit... He's big with the Joe Rogan crowd. That alone should tell you everything.

A friend of mine LOVED this sketch because he has a Jamaican boss that sounds and acts exactly like Ego's character. And I don't watch The Floor, but apparently it was making fun of contestants who can't identify the black people.

Cold Open: Even when he's not in the sketch, Trump just looms over these sketches. Devon Walker is still great as Tim Scott. That didn't need to be five minutes long without so much as a punchline. Monologue: You know it's gonna be a long 90 minutes when Shane's opening statement is "Don't Google me." He definitely does have that high school football coach energy. That was...awkward. I have no idea why he's hosting, and I don't think he knows, either. Jamaican Church: Ego was the best in this. I have no idea what was happening, but I liked Ego in this. Those were spot-on accents. Rock Bottom Kings: A gambling app about gambling about what your gambling addict friend's lowest gambling moment will be is something I'm sure will exist eventually, as if that in itself isn't YOUR rock bottom moment. I'd take those odds on the friend faking their death but get caught immediately because they used a gambling app. HR Meeting: I thought Shane was allright here, but the rest of the cast really shined here. White Men Can Trump: Trump shoes sketch! And here's the requisite Trump impression sketch. Shane's impression IS dead-on, and loved him dueling Trump with JAJ. Shane's voice is more accurate, but JAJ's cadence and his rambling are funnier to me. The tie getting longer was the best part, and the Air Bidens gag was funny. The Floor: Shane and Ego had good chemistry here. "Game show contestants always get stuff wrong" is hard to pull off well, but Ego really made it work. I can definitely buy Shane's character only being able to identify Cleveland from Family Guy, and Ego calling Michaelangelo's David "Mr. Penis." Also liked Bowen calling milk "clam chowder without the clams" and "white orange juice." WU: Donald Trump: undefeated everywhere except court. And if this was a few years ago, Kyle Mooney would've played the frozen embryo. Bowen as Truman Capote was an impression that definitely wasn't on the bingo card this week. 20 Year Reunion: Oh wow, a Forrest Gump sketch in 2024. Centering the sketch around one of his classmates that peaked in high school was a good premise. Shane was giving off a vibe of Brendan Fraser playing Danny McBride. Fugliana: Sarah Squirm sketch! She sells "weird sex doll" so perfectly, she was just trying to make Shane break. Love how all the girls were just so gung-ho on looking so weird as the Fuglianas. "I'm 36 but look 52" is 100% the vibe Shane Gillis gives off. Targeted Ads: Shane delivering lines in a way that he was trying to activate a sleeper cell. Just awkard, and it definitely feels like everyone was watching the clock to try to finish the sketch before time ran out. To be honest, I think Shane Gillis definitely would've worked as a cast member, but WOOF was this episode rough. "Problematic heavyset white guy" is a niche this show hasn't filled in a while. "Wish dot com John Candy" was where my mind went to, especially during the HR sketch. Next week is Sydney Sweeney, so expect the writers to dust off those "this host is hot!" sketches again. Sigh.

Airs 2/24/24

I think in season 1 he mentioned switching from cigarettes to herbal vapes.

"Church and home are the only places where I'm lit." I liked the callback to the fire episode. "I do not want to live in a world where white people explain dance moves to me." Barbara saying "GYAN-JA" and "THE DEVIL'S LETTUCE!" were just the best. I don't think she had a bad line tonight. She was on fire this whole episode. Janine smokes weed?! Wasn't expecting that. I loved that Mr. Johnson thinks that's why "her feet so big." That FADE assembly was wonderfully cringey. And Aparna Nancherla was there! She is of course an Energy Vampire (see this past season of What We Do in The Shadows), so she was perfect here. "That belief interferes with my perception of reality." Mood, Janine. "This oxygen is bussin'!" He got got with a $200 oxygen whistle. Oh yeah, that was all incredibly sweet. And I went to a college where the one big major was child study, so I have tons of stories of now-teachers drinking and doing every drug under the sun.

Come on, it was Susie's. It was a gift from Cheryl and Ted. It was cute. That dog was just asking to die, and wow, it didn't! On that note, I for sure thought the homeless guy was gonna get hit by a car! It was just a setup for the bagel getting tossed.

Oh yeah. And here I thought Larry was in trouble for the bathroom lesson. Susie going ballistic over being spoiled was great. Larry's "you never got anything in two!" at Ted was great, too. It was great to see him again.

Oh good, Kid Kree's not gonna be a one episode wonder. I've been loving this season so far, but I don't like they're running two a week. And the whole show hinges on everyone binging this show on D+ the moment it dropped.
