S01.E02: The Trainee


Recommended Posts

I don't think I've ever considered that there would be clown discrimination in the rodeo business. Clowns piss outside!

 

I loved Martha trying to find ways to make it easier for her boss to fire her. Would it be easier for you if I just went missing?

I love that despite the fact that Chip is a dick to Martha, he immediately offered to buy an executive membership as soon as she said that she could lose her job. I also liked that even though he can be really grumpy, he was sincere about helping the new clown. Ha, the juggalo guy was hilarious. I liked that he was so eager to learn. And I love that he kept his hair while working at Arby's.

I wonderful if he knew his mom would offer to pay for it. Chip gave a quick little glance at his mother that led me to believe this.

Yes, Louie's awesome in this. I love that she loves Martha, and admonishes Chip for denying Martha's his GF just because of one psychotic episode.

Of course Chip knew his mom would pay for the Costco plan.

I loved the scene where the mom broke down the bathroom door and said something like, "I have a history with crazy people". I WANT TO KNOW MORE! I was lukewarm about the first episode but liked this one more as it seemed like an ensemble cast rather than just Baskets. Still not sure ZG is strong enough to carry the show.

Thanks for that article. I didn't know he based her on his own mother.

 

I saw him do standup way back in the early 80s in Vegas (along with Yakov Smirnoff and someone else I can't remember). I laughed so much during that show.

I know it's awfully early to say this but I SO BADLY want Baskets Mom Louie Anderson to have his own full hour show every week.

 

I am loving Louie Anderson!  I honestly never really thought I liked him - I never watched his stand-up, thought he was cheezy.  I am cracking UP at everything out of his mouth.

 

When he was breaking the bathroom door down and then Chip came from around the corner and scared him, I about died.  The look on Louie's face!  I rewound that a few times.

"Get me a Kirkland and a Klondike bar." DIED. Just died. The Costco-isms on this show are awesome. (I like Costco -- and I hope they're OK with the characterization that they're ready to fire a decent employee because she hasn't sold an executive membership.) Louie Anderson is a treasure in this role. Even though I know it's him, the character still looks like it's some random lady I'd run into in a suburban grocery store.
 

Still hate clowns but love this show. Just love it.

The Juggalo clown turned out to be so cute without make-up.

Louie as Mrs. Baskets is phenomomenal. I agree that he has to be ad libbing stuff. I watched it with captioning on and about a third of the dialogue was missing.

Penelope is horrible, but she told Chip from the get-go where she stood on everything.
