And considering the licensing for a song like that would normally wipe out a show's entire season budget, I'm guessing that Townshend let it go for peanuts (as he did with Louis CK/"Who Are You" after he watched a clip).

This show was so lovely
Voting is very difficult but I think I will go with Breakfast, as its final line is the best final line of any episode in TV history
― imago, Saturday, 8 September 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link
Although the other O'Malley-written episode, Fall Drive, pushes it very close and actually I won't vote yet until I've seen them both again
― imago, Saturday, 8 September 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
voted "shows you how to dance" but this is basically impossible
― Clay, Saturday, 8 September 2018 20:44 (five years ago) link
Leaning towards fall drive... but also leaning towards the other 8 episodes as well.
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Saturday, 8 September 2018 23:43 (five years ago) link
I love the tension and release when he finally [spoiler lol] says what he wants for breakfast.
There are several legit beautiful moments in the fall drive episode - the photos, the decaying pumpkin, the waterfall...

I grew up in the upper peninsula during my teenage years and it is so unbelievably spot-on that there were moments when I was watching it with my wife where I would uncontrollably lose it and she thought something was wrong with me. he captured the entire vibe of living up there that it felt like I was being teleported back to those years.

I've been tearing through this the past few days, and was about to watch the last two, but Adult Swim's site is just giving me their weird 404 page now :(
Biggest laugh for me so far, was the cutaway to the deli slicer in the NYE episode. "NICE AND THICK." Something about that just short-circuited my brane. Biggest smile was when the band teacher starts beating the drum along to "Baba O'Riley."

One of my fave things about him is I remember seeing him at a few open mics in like 2010 and he was doing the exact same thing he is now, the voice, the shirts, everything. I love that he just figured that out early on and mustve just been like "yup, this feels perfect."

I'm amazed by how much I care about Joe after only nine ten minute episodes. I think it's because he's so different from other main characters in that he's so uncomplicated and straightforward in the best possible way. It's refreshing to see characters who aren't dark or edgy or complex

I appreciate his enthusiasm. Learning about the ways the gases can be channelled through the house was educational for me.
I don't want to ruin the mood, but I do have an important point to make. The tile work there is less than aesthetically pleasing.
Perhaps Eric could make another video explaining the reasons why the tile was set like that. There may be a very good engineering or architectural reason, and – though my wife hates to hear it – that's sometimes more important than how something looks.

Has his posture gotten more extreme lately? It's ironically not very relaxing and even menacing -- after 5 minutes, I had to switch to Pera's old "zero fucks" character video to calm down!
― Philip Nunez, Saturday, 7 October 2023 14:54 (seven months ago) link
Surely he’s got something propping up his shirt from the back, otherwise the man needs to calm down for his health!

well how much calmer can this man get? can't imagine another comedian able to close on "if you haven't fallen asleep yet, I wish you good night"
anyway, I loved the whole thing, maybe some parts were awkward or didn't quite work but I also think he's doing something on stage which hasn't really been done before. btw he does break character around 47:50 :)
who was the guy at the top of the balcony they kept cutting to? was that his dad?

Pretty sure that was the doorman who bonked everyone on the head on the way in. And yeah, he totally broke when talking about his female fans freezing their partners to death. Adorable.
Loved this. A little shocking when he went blue for a few minutes there but the impact of the bit was earned by the years of well-maintained sedation.
