Damn, that was good. There was a reason why there were only three pictures on the wall.

Bob: "Dad's back, too." Tina: "Good to see ya, man!" That caught me so off guard, that was probably my favorite line of the episode. Bob has his obsession with the turkey, Linda has hers about the Christmas Tree. Honestly, same. I wanted to see more weird rooms and gadgets. But love that Bob and Linda got stuck with the one with the kid beds while the kids got rooms with real beds. I bet Felix was forced to bunk in the twin bed room.

Yes, singing a new song. I work in retail, I am VERY familiar with that song.

And teaching Camille to lie created an algorithm, which is what ruined everything in the end. That was honestly clever.

"There, you happy? Loud Man like variety." So Klaus is canonically 58? That tracks. We've had a "Stan can't deal with Steve becoming a man and overtaking him," but this time combined with his intensity towards Christmas. We even got a new Scott Grimes song out of it. I knew Nice Santa couldn't be trusted. Oh, THIS was the virtual world that's been in the trailer. Love that Hayley's model was just Matrix code. I appreciated the show taking advantage of Roger's super speed to get to the North Pole quickly. Gotta love Klaus and Rogu saving the day. And everyone having to smell Stan's nog farts the whole way home. Honestly, I would've died if this was the last line of the episode:

Starting at Carnivale in Brazil already seems like a return to classic Archer. It was great seeing Barry again, now a demon fridge by way of a Game Boy interface. And now a demon vacuum. LOVED the reveal that his new body was action figure size. Caught the old ISIS sign among the trash pile. Archer jetpacking naked through the skies of Rio just to get back as Slater and destroying Christ The Redeemer at the same time? Gotta be one of the craziest things to happen on this show. Slater just HAD to drop the "I know who Archer's Dad is" bomb just before he died, didn't he? I liked that Archer chose not to find out. So, the final bosses of the show are Slater and Katya. Man, they're just bringing back everyone for the finale, aren't they? Borris, Rip Riley, AJ, even a "sploosh." And Archer finally doing with Katya AND Barry in one mind? Loved that. Krieger can't remember how Tom Sawyer goes? Yeah...that's totally not good. Loved how everyone got a time to shine. And Archer and Pam ride off into the sunset, in a cat and mouse game with Lana. I really want to see more of Krieger's werewolves. People, it's been a pleasure. I hated to see this end, but this was a way more satisfying end than what that last season was.

Definitely not him. Also, this was the last episode to air on Sundays. The show returns Wednesday March 6th.

So the death of network tv means Kevin James is out of a job and has to live with the Griffins, and he needs an audience or else he fades away forever. Merry Christmas, everyone.

People didn't like the fourth Thor movie. That's all I can think of.

Neighbor: The Towering Intern-O Tall Temp Service Exterminator: Gnat If I Can Help It The Fischoeder hunting mansion was 90 miles away. Judging from the beautiful scenery, it had to be in Pennsylvania. I loved all the creepy falcon imagery, and all the beds. Loved that Bob and Linda were stuck in the twin beds room while the kids all got rooms with the big beds. "We did our best." "That doesn't sound like us." Once again Linda is so obsessed with the Christmas tree that she was willing to risk her life to get hers back. But good on her for finally leaving it behind.

Chalmers: CBG ate his DIN-NER!

I'll be honest, I would've loved the Nerd Boat cruise. The Pacific Princess Leia was a grade-A pun, as was Flando Calrissian. I was too distracted looking at all the cosplayers. I caught Sherri and Terri as the Wonder Twins, and Milo and Strawberry as Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl. Also loved the guy dressed as Hedonismbot (voiced by Maurice La Marche!) I also loved the Avatar volleyball game (Na'vi vs Last Airbender!) and the Doctor Who Pickleball game with Doctors that weren't Tom Baker (it was One and Thirteen vs Ten and Eleven). The starfucking of Taika Waititi didn't age too well. People don't like him now for whatever reason. I knew he was the culprit. But I did like how the motive was because his show got Zaslav'd.

Tyrannis is obsessed with validation. He truly is Deliria's son. I liked how Camille the Hydra was the show's take on introducing smart phones/the internet with all of her interconnected heads. That was hnestly a clever idea. Complete with social media, online dating, conspiracy theories, and incels. "What do you want?" "Love, the making of it!" I honestly loved that the whole episode led to the origin of Cancer (the constellation) The Crab (the public lice) and how the tangent involved the death of Carrie Fisher and why fall comes after summer.

Season 35, ep 9: Murder, She Boat Airs 12/17/23 (34 years to the day of the first episode!) at 8:30pm again.

Cold Open: Christmas Awards! Finally, something different! I really liked this one. Loved that "Most Dangerous Plug" was awarded posthumously. Monologue: I love seeing Kate again. "Freak Next to Hot Person" really is the role she was born to play. I did love her playing the tiny piano (had to be callback to last week) It was great to see Maya again. And Kristen Wiig, too. Weird that Maya showed up, since she wasn't in the cast at the same time as Kate. Were Aidy and Cecily not available? North Pole News: This was an excuse for Kate to channel Quint from Jaws and throw up some skittles. The best bit was The Grinch posting the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif on twitter. Nothing's beating Eddie Murphy's "IT DON'T MATTER WHAT MY NAME IS" version. Pongo: HE JUST IS. Yeah, Pongo creeped me out. I loved this the more unhinged Sarah got. ABBA Christmas: Oh, Kristen and Maya are in this. Yeah, Bowen was the perfect addition to this team. Yeah, they were all just trying to make each other break by being on top of each other. That's what saved this sketch for me. Presents: Kate was totally channeling my mom every Christmas. The best gift giver of the family, yet every gift is the worst thing she could've given. "Pu me in a home" "Write God a letter and tell him to take me early." Probably the hardest I've laughed at this show in a while. Tampon Farm: This was a silly one. Definitely Kate channeling Melissa Ethridge. Billie Eillish 1: Don't know why there was a montage of baby pictures of all the women cast members (and Maya and Kristen) over the song, but I appreciated it. WU: Jokes about Giuliani will never get old. The Mayor of "$9.11" indeed. Also loved how salty everyone got over the New Jersey/Albert Einswein joke. I knew that a Joke Swap was on the Bingo card, but I don't think anyone saw bringing in an old lady and having them do the jokes in front of her coming at all. I take it back, THAT was the hardest I've laughed at this show in a while. Yankee Swap: And here I thought the twist was that someone was gonna steal the cure for Sickle Cell from Kenan. That everyone wanted to trade it for Boogie Woogie Santa? That was great. Meet Me in St. Louis: First Cass Elliot, now Judy Garland. Chloe Troast is certainly swinging for the fences. Honestly this could've been better. If anything, Kate wasn't unhinged enough. And that's in a sketch where she chainsaws a snowman that still had a person in it. Whiskers R We: Yay, I missed this sketch! The cats were, again, adorable. And Billie Eillish is somehow Kate's character's daughter. Man, this was a fun one! The show returns January 20th with Jacob Elordi. Whoever that is.

Can't wait! I really loved the first season. There's really no show that looks or sounds like this, it really needs all the love it can get.

Got a giant laugh out of Stan not getting out of bed for the theme song and everyone waiting for him. I love how he lost all his money investing in, of all things, porn pogs. And I got an even bigger laugh out of the image of Stan's caved in face. The taped up face was slightly more horrifying to look at. Man, Hayley's selling out by pushing snake oil armadillo arthritis medicine onto doctors for Big Pharm. And taking it attracts bears, coyotes, and komodo dragons. I loved the chimputees, and that one showed up at the end.

So like Rick to have Bigfoot in a Poke Ball. And somehow the Vikings know what Dragonballs are. Oh man, that Bigfoot kills Rick prediction came true after all. It took seven seasons, but Rick finally fought The Pope. And then caught him in a Poke Popey Ball. Loved Rick gathering the classic Universal monsters together to fight The Pope (and somehow all of Frankenstein's parts made it to Valhalla). Loved the underground Pokemon battle at the end, with Clone Rick becoming the New Pope.

Cold Open: Interesting choice for Cold Open. Yeah, the president of UPenn resigned a few hours ago over this. Chloe Troast and Kenan did their best in this but...I was not feeling this one. Honestly, what were they thinking with this? Monologue: "I know Santa watches SNL. He hasn't liked it since Kattan left." Much better than the cold open. I got vibes of Steve Martin's Christmas Wish, in a good way. Trying For A Baby: This was fun. Bowen and Adam trying so hard to have a baby. Somehow. Old Friends: "My old friend is a sex offender" was a wild idea. That it turned out to be an ad for Facebook makes sense. Beep Beep: Loved this. Just taking a dumb social observation like "beep beep" and going all serious about it. ShopTV: 26 bucks for a big chocolate penis. I saw that coming when we saw the big Santa. But damn was I laughing the whole way. WU: Gotta love jokes about blurring out Colin's face in January 6th fics, and jokes about Nick Cannon's many kids. Chloe's Julia Stiles dance didn't do anything for me, even when Julia Stiles showed up. Baby Plane: This has to be a Sarah Squirm sketch since everyone was commenting on how weird the Adam Driver baby looked. Sarah being pregnant with him for two years was a great reveal. Elder TikTok Prank Victims: Liked this one. And it was an excuse to see the cast in old person makeup. "I blocked doors with Governor Wallace" was a joke that went over everyone's head. (It's referring to George Wallace of Alabama. hardcore segregationist) Tiny Ass Bag: "My bag is little and my ass is fat. I'm king of the world." I liked Adam's stilted acting here. Gave me vibes of those old "Chandelier" sketches and ones like it. Pretty okay, but the man had big shoes to fill after his last two stints. Kate McKinnon closes out 2023 next week. Aww, Normal Lear tribute card at the end. Bowen should've been in that last sketch.

I was about to say the same thing.

Roger was hiding in the wrong car this week! He was with Francine as The Gambler (from the Kenny Rogers song) teaching her how to have a poker face. All to show up her "no good kids." Loved the callback to Frog Ross's Foie Gras-teurant. I do hope we see Frog Rose again, she was a fun villain.

I can't believe we actually got the full episode of Rise of The Numbericons! And it's an episode about Mr. Goldenfold. I liked the design of the episode, how all the Alphabetrium and Numbericon tech worked. And how the Scribbles were Ewoks and the missing link between the two. Again, a gloriously stupid episode, I loved it. This was also the first episode Rick wasn't in at all, right?

Kelly Clarkson's show is funny with women who clap when the plane lands. Makes sense. Gotta love episodes where Meg abuse is integral to the plot. Her tears make cookies taste delicious, until she couldn't cry because her life was actually good. Peter's talk show was something out of PTV back in the day. But yeah, they're spot on about guys running out of stuff to talk about after twenty minutes. Even sports.

Neighbor: What I Lick About You Lollipops Exterminator: Something Weevil This Way Comes Burger(s) of The Day: Broccoli Rabe-in Hood Burger I know there wasn't a proper Halloween episode this year, but this ep certainly could've been one. This one was damn clever, a "documentary" about Louise being an archer which turns into a zombie movie. Honestly good editing skills when the camera panned outside to clearly Bob and Linda and zombie makeup (and all the makeup ended at the neck!), then panning back inside to Bob and Linda totally nonchalant about Teddy turning people into zombies. I'm also with the zombies on this one, I'm not a fan of mustard. Loved that Bob objected to the mustard slander. Jimmy Jr. as a zombie (doing Thriller moves!)...It's like all of Tina's fantasies came true.

There were two signs! Hugh Laurie as Stephen Fry was one of the shows. That's why I said "combined," since they were never in the same episode until now. EDIT: They were in the same Doctor Who episode! Fires of Pompeii.
