WHAS has some great bits, but like all Michael Showalter-related projects, it feels a bit like a missed opportunity.

Did you get to the scene where they go to town, Alex?
rudd ("andy") keeps losing kids and taking their buddies for a ride off the side of the road... the short dude from the state on the motorcycle trying to catch up with the other dude... the nerds rolling their 20-sided die? i mean, i just don't get how you can't like it.
yes, alex. i don't know you, but over the course of writing this post, i have decided that you ARE, in fact, old.

My favorite part is when the goth girl says "that's just one mixtape!" or something.

I wouldn't go that far (comedy is probably the one genre I'll settle for "personal preference" in the discussion), but I'd certainly take WHAS-haters' recommendations for the latest shitty Will Ferrel movie with a grain of salt.

• The uppity blonde theater talent-show directress (the one from SNL) spends the entire movie convinced that her Godspell number cast are hideous, amateur dullards that will ruin her whole show. Fast forward to the talent show, and the cast are "awesome." Though the blonde directress spends the entire number looking over her shoulder while playing their piano accompaniment just to scowl at their ineptitude, the audience is clapping and grinning and seemingly having a great time. The number draws to a close and we're building up to that "star is born" moment, and the audience immediately begins booing with sheer disgust at their hideous, amateurish ineptitude!!!
Doesn't even really work when I describe it, but the way the bait and switch is handled is remarkable.
And the gay commitment ceremony in the river (c. 1981!) is awesome.

This had some great stuff in it, but (also) think on the whole it was weaker than the first season.
The confrontation between Bush, Reagan, and the camp ppl towards the end felt like it went on for three episodes and was mostly not funny.
― circa1916, Saturday, 19 August 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
ur not funny
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 19 August 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link
The longer that sequence went the funnier it got because it just added to the goofy absurdity.
― Evan, Saturday, 19 August 2017 18:41 (six years ago) link
Yeah idk, looking forward to a rewatch. Some stuff in the first season didn't really land for me on the first go around, but I got a lot more out of it when I rewatched it a few weeks ago.
― circa1916, Saturday, 19 August 2017 21:01 (six years ago) link
I think it's a good joke...it was just the exact same joke that they used at the end of the prequel and jon hamm delivered it better

Watched the making of on Netflix the other day, really enjoyed it. Then I went to watch the original film and it wasn't on Netflix canada blaaaaag

it isn't on Netflix in the US either

loved it, though probably not as much as First Day of Camp. Chris Pine was the MVP in all his scenes. those Keanu-esque line readings....
lmao @ David Hyde Pierce's cameo too.

Not even a big fan of this franchise but the first episode or two of this was the funniest thing I've seen in a long, long time
Favorite detail: the made-up Spin Doctors song that plays during the upbeat kitchen montage
