AS went light this year. They aired "Portal People," which was neatly-staged reenactments of Rick and Morty bits: They followed that with a quick clip from the upcoming season, which premieres on May 25. That was it. I guess that was enough.

Right now, it is technically April Fool's Day, which means Adult Swim drops unexpected stuff in fans' laps. They showed some avant-garde stuff where scenes from the show are reenacted on stage, followed by a new clip and the announcement that the eighth season will begin on May 25. ETA: Here's the show . . . . . . and here's the clip:

Coffin Dance meme. They disrespected the Coffin Dance meme. If anything was to happen to these assholes, I bet the fellas from Ghana would fly out to the States and do their thing . . . and not ask for money for transportation. Send those bozos off with the style they don’t deserve.

Lovely. Is Tennessee a red state?

To review: in his second go as President, Trump has sought to exceed the misery brought on by his first term. He’s punished poor folks that voted for him, he’s seceded power to an unelected foreigner, and he has damaged the nation in ways that may never be repaired. Two months and change. And that’s all the time some people need to start squawking about a third term. Honestly, Obama needs protection. If anything were to happen to him, the MAGA set would react faster than Ol’ Mitch putting up that letter after RBG died. He probably had that on his laptop for years, yet he couldn’t wait for her body to get cold before posting it. And the Trumpanistas would raise the flag full-mast were the worst to happen to Obama. He’s the only Democrat with the clout to take on Trump right now.

I rewatched the episode. It didn't pull me in. If there HAD to be a crap gimmick for a leg, Driver's Seat wasn't too bad. It produced the proper result of Jonathana getting shit talked about them by other teams on the mat. And, yeah, that was a waste of an Express Pass . . . though tis better to use it in haste than not at all. #OyVey I like the massive pile-ups on the mat. Everyone's usually so happy to just have completed the leg.

This week, Erik shows the awesomeness that is Lagi camp ("Milking It"): Yes, I looked up Wikipedia to get that tribe's name.

Well, that was fun. Well, not really “fun,” but it felt like a topic that’s been on the shelf for years that is still relevant to bring up. And they ended with an “avatar” of John dancing and showing ass, while the real John made the “make it rain in da club” gesture. If they’re not not going to end on a sketch, that’s a good way to do it. The episode tapings have waivers? I used to attend talk shows for story material. I vaguely remember the legal stuff being on the ticket. Now audience members have to sign a form? Actually, for this show, I shouldn’t be shocked. (#rimshot) Nice restraint in not showing the “Don’t tase me, bro!” clip. In other news, life is still depressing, the Trump administration continues to suck, and not even Paddington is safe.

They probably do. He probably stares blankly until they go away. The Democrat response should be Obama reenacting training scenes from the Rocky movies. Someone asks why he does that, he just shrugs and says, “No real reason. Yet.”

Reminder: tomorrow night leads to the morning of April Fool’s Day. I just set up the DVR to catch potential hilarity and possible sneak previews. Or maybe AS will just run the whole run of Women Wearing Shoulder Pads.

Saw a Cybertruck. Shouted a really unflattering word. I know that doesn't make things better and the driver has probably heard that word a lot lately, but it felt good. Like I said: MAGA changed the rules. No holds are barred, no blow is too low, and mothers are totally in play.

If anyone from Peanuts would be MAGA, it’d be Lucy. She’s that mean.

To channel Shaquille O’Neal: “Hey, Mickey! Tell me how Trump’s ass tastes!” Seriously, why should a company not directly involved with the government be investigated for (*clutching pearls*) DEI?

“Secretary Smart, can you confirm the rumors that Vladimir Putin was a target of assassination?” “We missed him by that much!” That’s before my time, and I dunno if anyone from Gen X forward would get it, but it’s a good reference from the Governor.

I don’t think she got where she is because she slept around. She got to where she is because she murdered her own goddamn dog, and that gave Donald a feeling in his soiled boxers. If you are a horrible person that can carry the MAGA banner, Donald Trump wants you. And those selected by him pay it forward by picking the worst of the worst (the crème de la crap, if you will) to follow them. She killed her dog, and she’s not (figuratively) buried somewhere out of sight and mind. I’m not a happy camper at the best of times, and people like her don’t make things better for me. I went to a comic show today. Wound up getting three sketches and I set up a commission. Even while checking the news and cringing at what we’ve become, I had a decent time. Bonus: while driving, I saw a groundhog. Big guy, too.
