Um… before.

less laugh-out-loud funny

That said, I thought there were more subtle jokes than usual in relation to the overall spectacle. The final punchline to Leonard’s interview aside(“I know the sound of crap hitting the fan”) was the expectation that he’d blow a raspberry…. and then he went all serious with it. Awesome.

[hide][/hide]

Nope, didn’t laugh. The GIF is mildly funny, IMO.

Thing is, I tend to laugh out loud more at inane silliness and the like, hence why Happy Endings makes me laugh so much. The slower pace of Community and lack of things I find ridiculously silly enough to laugh keep it from being laugh-out-loud funny.

MAYBE IT’S FRIENDLY!

!!!!

EDIT: Sorry about that.

bq. WHY do you TYPE these things?!

Sorry, man, it's gone now.

What am I looking at, a pillow monster?

Last night’s Community was about a campus-wide pillowfight war between Troy’s blanket fort and Abed’s pillow fort, framed as a pseudo-PBS/History Channel documentary. The gif is the superweapon designed and piloted by Chevy Chase’s character.

It’s inappropriate and so it probably shouldn’t be funny. But it is.

Success.

GIANT MUSHY FRIEND!

TIME TO WAVY ARMS.

I need to watch this show.

Yeah, no shit :P I’d say it’s locked in a duel to the death with Archer for best comedy on TV right now, and Archer is the lovechild of Frisky Dingo and Arrested Development. A stronger pedigree there ain’t. Community is live action, though, so it gets degree of difficulty points. It’d be much easier for Archer to make a compelling episode about, say, a Dungeons and Dragons game or a zombie outbreak or a Battle Royale-style paintball game since it’s not that much different than animating regular scenes.

Thing is, as great as last night’s episode was, it didn’t even sniff my personal top 5 in either concept or execution. I need to rewatch it again, though.

campus-wide pillowfight war

Alas, from my sister’s reports of community college, this does not happen in real life. :(

Thanks for the offer, sansa. My break has been very disappointing in terms of watching TV, and with AP exams coming up, I’m going to have no time until after May.

Re: Game of Thrones- WHY is there still sexposition? Whyyyyy?

Supposedly Dany’s actor refuses to do any more nude scenes, so that’ll definitely reduce the amount of notsuitableforparents scenes. Of course, we still have Shae and Cersei…

It wasn’t the sex that bothered me. No, what bothered me was that Littlefinger wiped the lovejuice from a lady’s face and two seconds later she’s making out with another gent.

I've given up on Doctor Who.

bq. Any reason in particular?

He's a self-righteous hyprocrite.

bq. The Doctor? How so?

Okay, so he get's all over the clone Doctor for 'genocide' of the Daleks, never mind what he and the other Time Lords did the same thing to the Daleks or that Doctor personally exterminated the last of that red spider thing's race in the christmas star episode then when Donna says that the guy who tried to feed her to red spider-woman thing deserved what he got, he gives this reproving look, despite what he just did and then when Harriet Jones ordered the destruction of that Skigarax ship he gets all over her.

bq. Well, skip ahead to series 5 and it fixes that.

Really?

The Doctor’s infamously self-righteous anyway, but I think Eleven improves substantially in that regard.

With self-righteousness? Sometimes I think he is, sometimes I think it’s a result of different writers wanting to portray him as the pacifist hero and the cold, does-what-he-has-to type, and forgetting that the two are difficult to reconcile. Maybe that’s the biggest thing, really, is that we don’t want the Doctor to be this vicious killer, but we don’t want him to be passive either. So they try to show both things and just ignore the elephant in the room that the two do not, in any way, shape, or form, fit together nicely.

Man, the last few minutes of Community tonight made my heart hurt again that Donald Glover will never be Spider-Man. It took all my will not to give my TV a comforting bro-hug.

Avengers EMH and Young Justice are satisfying the superhero fan in me.

So the season finale of Young Justice, anything I’d post would be a spoiler, but I’d just like to say, “Wow.”

That show is the bane of my existence! I can tell the acting’s mediocre and the sets are crap mediocre and the storyline is glacial the worst thing ever…and yet I keep watching

This is me and Glee.

I’ve just started watching Sherlock BBC- the brand new modern adaption.Amazing cinematography, acting, scriptwriting, etc. Benedict Cumberbatch is also now on the long list of British people that I want to marry.

I’ve watched a very little bit of Young Justice (I have a lot of it recorded, but no idea if it’s the whole season. >.<) and it was so good. I think I nearly exploded with plot bunnies the first two episodes. Unfortunately my tolerance for anything intense was really low at the time so I’m at episode… 4? Something like that. Keep meaning to pick it up.

Pity it’s not like the original comic, but it still sounds pretty good. I should watch some episodes sometime, then.

Glee.

/joke thread

^ Ahahhahahhaa. Good one, Inky.

I don’t know, I’ve been watching pretty crap TV lately because I’m constrained by what’s appropriate for my little brother to watch and Avatar hasn’t been on. Are you open to movie suggestions? Though statistically speaking, you’ve probably seen more than me anyway.

On a TV-related thread, my dad didn’t like the Buffy episode The Body. There’s no hope for him.

Glee.

I feel like I should shove you in a locker.

Young Justice

How many episodes are there?

Are you open to movie suggestions?

Yes, though aside from my Kurosawa backlog, I don’t really watch movies anymore. If you think one is really good I’ll consider it, though.

Dead Like Me is quite awesome.

Well, you generally have pretty good taste, so this is the leader right now I imagine.

How many episodes are there?

26, so far.

26, so far.

Oh, that’s not too bad. Do you actually need to be a DC reader to appreciate it?

Detective Conan would keep you occupied for a while…

FOREVER MAYBE

Also, you can watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

FOREVER AND A DAY MAYBE

If you think one is really good I’ll consider it, though.

Have you seen Pan’s Labyrinth? One of my all-time favorites.

Just got hooked on Carl Sagan’s Cosmos.

Dammit I have work to do and it is distracting.

Just got hooked on Carl Sagan’s Cosmos.

We watched a few of those in my high school astronomy class. He has a quality that makes him kind of adorable, but I’m not sure what it is. Maybe it’s his enthusiasm for what he’s talking about?

Yes, I was thinking that as well.
He’s like Miser Rogers, only with science.

I just started watching Portlandia. There’s only a half dozen episodes (at least on Netflix), but it’s freakin’ hilarious. I remember that we looked at moving to Portland right after we got married and after driving around there, my husband was greatly weirded-out and said in an almost shell-shocked voice, “It’s like a world where Kurt Cobain never died.” We didn’t move there.

How could you not want to live in the same city as those awesome people?

It reminded me of what the my college town would look like if it grew into a metropolitan area. When they have signs up saying, “Keep Portland Weird!”, they mean it. ;)

It’s certainly not a bad city, it just wasn’t somewhere that I’d fit in.

Just finished Christopher Eccleston’s run as the Doctor! I can’t wait to get acquainted to the new one, as he seems to be the fan favorite (all the gifs and images I see are of him).

Didja stick around for 30 Rock? Donald Glover made an appearance as young Tracy.

Marathoning WITCH for some reason. Used to love this shit back in middle school.

I found a few(“so fucking great”), but I’ll concede they probably fell a little bit short.

Hmm, seems like we’ve got a Jeff over here.

I saw the Law and Order episode.

...meh.

There were shitloads of jokes about it.

...meh.

I’d suggest a drinking game for this, but I’d like to retain use of my liver into my late twenties.

I’m afraid to watch USM. I loved the comic back in the day, and really liked Spectacular so as a combo of the two there’s no way USM can be good.

Shadowbabies as in that thing in Game of Thrones? I watched my first episode last night and it happened to be that one. What. The. Hell. What. The. Bloody. Hell.

I might make efforts to catch up and continue watching it, but if creepy shit like that keeps happening…

You should probably read the books if it’s at all possible.

Yeah, I forget that not everyone knows the, um, reputation of ASOIAF. It’s through that series (although I haven’t read it personally) that I first learned of a number of interesting terms, like “twincest”.

Maybe I’m just more cynical than usual, but I feel like the acting in Game of Thrones feels really forced and awkward. It’s like watching a bunch of Americans attempt a British accent. That said, I think the actors of Tyrion, Davos, and Jorah are doing a good job.

I see what you mean, yeah. I actually notice this more with Littlefinger than anyone else, but I may just be biased.

I would add Arya and Varys to that list. I thought that the actor for Viserys was also really good.

I didn’t really see the purpose of having that. It was just gross. It looked like demonic pond scum was coming out of her or something. I don’t see why it would be that hard to connect the dots between

It didn’t have to be so long. Same thing with Stannis/Melisandre sex scene. That was just weird.

Although, I’m liking the actress who plays Melisandre better than I thought I would. Her accent works.
