Ugh-listening to Jack McBrayer is like nails on a chalkboard to me

[greekmom]

Yep. Nope. Couldn't watch it. Jack McBrayer grates on my nerves and Jack McBrayer as an Amish dude grates on my last nerve (sorry Jack!)

Did they get rid of him?  Is it going to be the whole "who is the new baker this week?"

[cinsays]

Think I fell asleep thru part of this.  Did not enjoy this guy at all. This is not what they need.

Jack McBrayer as an Amish dude who is apparently too stupid to live is even worse. I understand Amish are not always familiar with the ways of the English, but seriously. I, too, hope he isn't staying.

This new baker guy is already annoying, but it looks like he's here to stay. Damn it. Although he's just listed as a guest star now, so maybe they will just start bringing in a new quirky baker every episode. No wonder Kat's business struggles, she hires people that have no idea what they're doing just because they like her jokes and she relates to their backstory. 

Some funny scenes and lines at least, I like how the story with Sheila played out, and I am not normally a big Sheila fan. Her at the retirement home gives her more to do than be mean to Kat. 

"A telegram? Is it news from the front? Have we liberated Paris?"

I live near Lancaster, PA-where there are a lot of Amish, kind of known for living here. Jack McBrayer’s character wasn’t like any Amishman I’ve ever known.

[CrystalBlue]

This show has now officially become a cringefest.

[Stats Queen]

I’m done with this show. 
Jack mcBrayer is just as annoying as he was on 30 Rock.

Tired of these stereotypes he plays. What a bad choice. 
of course, no one could ever replace Leslie Jordan, but to replace him with Jack McBrayer, just sucks,

 

[Yeah No]

If Jack McBrayer becomes a regular on this show it will ruin it for me.  I almost can't believe they thought this was a good idea.  I don't even like the Amish but felt that this was insulting to them.  Heck, it was insulting to ME as a human being!  The sad part about it is that I laughed several times during the episode, just not at him.  If not for him it actually wouldn't have been a bad episode.  I hope he was a one-off like Phil's mother.  Even she was more tolerable and that's not saying much.

[Prairiemakeup]

Ugh! I’d rather they have a guest baker for the rest of the season and find “the one” in the final episode. This character is going to ruin it for me if he stays.

I like that idea — kind of like Murphy Brown’s secretaries.

That mouth-held cat groomer was weird and kind of crowbarred into the scene. I wonder if it was a product placement deal. My cat saw it and had this reaction:

 

[possibilities]

It looked to me like you could have held it in your hand just as easily, but Kat was being quirky to use her mouth to groom the cat like another cat would do.

[Johannah]

Add me to those that don't like the new guy.  

Man, I used to really like this show, but it's getting really stupid.  Someone said new "quirky" bakers.  That's being generous.  I like quirky.  Stupid beyond reason, not so much.

Please get better, show.  I don't want to quit watching.

No, no. It's meant to be inserted in your mouth. I kid you not.

Wow. 

I have never had any trouble bonding with a cat, and I've never had to pretend to lick them in order to do it.

[realdancemom]

Agree that the new baker does not work.  I like the idea that someone above had where they rotate guest bakers.

[HyeChaps]

I wonder how that baker even knew to apply for the job. 
 

I wonder too much
