unbreakable kimmy schmidt netflix television show

recap culture is killing us all

ok if you know anything about how earlier generations dismissed "the tv generation" the idea of dismissing new generations as not being as good at watching tv is really funny

"kids today don't know how to shut up at stare at a screen like we did"

thank you for glossing my joke /:

maybe the writer is just really young or naive

the best part of the "country bumpkin" stuff is how it's over the top and obviously no one is like that, but at the same time there's enough truth to it to burrrrn

Kimmy being all surprised/envious that her hometown now has an Olive Garden

hahaha oh man, that echoes so closely how I felt when the movie theater reopened in my home town while I was in college

sorry thomp i follow enough 35+ year olds on twitter that i assume the worst the second anyone posts the word "generation"

knew it xp

sokay. it was a deep core of seriousness and truth to it

my favorite thing in this I think was when kimmy responds to criticism in middle school style. good schtick, on one occasion peculiarly moving , a+

are you referring to '2090 called...'?

Were people even doing "______ called, and it..." burns in the nineties?

least favourite thing was the odd joke that explained itself in case the viewer was not paying attention -- "that's why your mother and I flew here in the great shiny metal bird ... I'm kidding, I know what planes are, come on, I was in the Air Force" -- "I know what planes are" is totally unnecessary

otoh if doing this every hour or so was the thing that bothered me most ..

I think it started from David Spade's Hollywood Minute in the 90s, so, I think so?

(xpost)

a lot of times -- mostly w xan -- she responds with middle schoolish non sequitur comebacks -- the one I found affecting was a 'I know you are, but what am i ' which made no sense as dialogue but worked ~ thematically ~

i know it's been noted plenty, but Dr. Frampf is my favorite mel brooks bit not done by mel brooks ever.

My least favourite joke was that Pinot Noir song.

Logan riding the miniature horse against fake background made me laugh. This show does good rich kid jokes.

I think you mean Pinot NuuuWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

I liked the Pinot Noir song, much better homage to ridiculous viral video songs than the theme, which is too good

how is it possible not to like "Pinot Noir"

i would watch titus andromegan watch things for hours, like when he's watching the trial. the faces!

Facial expressions by Kimmy and Titus totally make this show.

Somebody with better video/audio editing skills should mash up "Pinot Noir" with "Immigrant Song."

Watched the first three eps and enjoyed them. Show very much feels like a YA introduction to 30 Rock's style of jokes/patter. I also get the feeling that they're deliberately not going getting any dirtier to change the rating away from a TV-14, even if the hyperfire refs pull from decades old pop-culture.

I dunno about that. They shot the first season thinking it would be on network TV. They're shooting the 2nd season knowing it'll be on netflix.

i am curious at what point in production they knew it was going to be on Netflix and not NBC. i'm pretty sure it was before they did episode 9, which has a winking referencing to "binge watching [a sitcom] on Netflix."

i definitely had a problem with the theme song at first - so hokey! - but i got used to it.

my gf is obsessed with the theme tune, sings it all the time

FE-males are STRONG-AS-HELL

3 eps in and not entirely sold on this, though i like most of the actors. if i remember it took at least half a season for me to really like 30 Rock though. fave part so far was "Hashbrown: no filter"

Somebody with better video/audio editing skills should mash up "Pinot Noir" with "Immigrant Song."

Obviously entitled "Kimmigrant Song."

I don't know how I'd react -- probably badly -- to a Tina Fey project with swears in it.

Guys.... Dong Nguyen is also the name of the creator of Flappy Bird

"That was the fanciest sentence I ever heard, and I used to watch Frasier"

This show is pretty cool, hits a lot of the New Yorkers-joking-about-flyover-country type humor that 30 Rock had. Lots of killer one-liners.

Cool thing is the country bumpkin stuff isn't the main focus so much as, as has been pointed out, satire of oppression, class dynamics, etc.

Can someone confirm that Xanthippe also plays Kymmi

nope

Kymmi is actually Kiernan Shipka who plays Jon Hamm's character's daughter on Mad Men

I don't understand, why would they get the same actress to play two different characters?

I guess that Netflix Budget ain't NBC budget

they aren't the same actress? unless you're having a larft

Idk man it's just kinda bizarre

Like they didn't think anyone would notice

Xanthippe and kymmi never appear in the same episode together

And then at then end in dernsville kymmi disappears

Martin Short was kind of freaking me out. Funny though! Ever since Inner Space he has been on this body horror comedy thing.

all white girls look same dot com

This show is pretty awesome! I loved 30 Rock and this has that same rhythm of comedy to it, it's so freakin' quick and snappy.

Loved them pretending to be rich in that expensive restaurant, with the cardboard laptop and the faux-French "Beyonce'"

"Who is coming to this party? Fancy Manhattan-os? They're going to notice that my cummerbund is just a piece of automobile tire."

"I've been watching you, Kimmy"
"I know, that's why I was picking my nose earlier, to gross you out. Burnt!"
