I liked Search Party!

Haven't seen Search Party but Wain isn't involved, right? WHAS humor feels very Wainy.

Deegs was funny

i really enjoyed the first half of this, the second half had its moments but got a little bogged down in plot and had too much reagan/bush instead of just stupid jokes which is all i care about

christopher meloni was once again the all-star, him fighting the can in the winnebago was amazing

or in the last episode when the restaurant kitchen door swings open and you see emphatically tossing a salad

xxp showalter is def the most sentimental of the 3 of them. wain is the goofiest i think? probably the humor closest to mine. ian black seems v snarky + dismissive. i love them all. (thought search party was okay but not okay enough to get past the 5th episode.)

My favorite part was Meloni and Pine bobbing in unison and saying "come oooon" when they were downloading the bunker blueprint.

Also Schwartzman's wave at Garofalo when they were watching the nuke in the sky.

Oh and Meloni meeting his daughter and not getting it. Meloni was insanely good throughout.

my favorite really dumb joke that made me laugh a lot was "can i use your bathroom? i really need to ... take a bath"

loved how the nanny murder was the one plot point that wasn't hand-waved away

these blueprints ... are literally kicking my ass

david hyde pierce calling in from home with emmys in the background was my favorite part of anything ever

Thanks for that link Evan. The song i'm looking hasn't been posted yet but hopefully soon

this is really great so far, three eps in. i am loving the 90s references, they are delivered with the perfect amount of deadpan ironic nostalgia. i think it helps that it's gen x stuff from this generation of comedians.

lol that acoustic "rrreah reeeah reaah" song

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 04:26 (six years ago) link

i bingewatched this and thoroughly enjoyed it, but think it was a lil less funny than last year's version.

Karl Malone, Friday, 18 August 2017 19:05 (six years ago) link

Alyssa Milano was a fantastic new addition

Karl Malone, Friday, 18 August 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link

yeah Milano was awesome.

they really upped the ante w the action movie stuff here. at one point Chris Pine was really OVER emphasizing certain WORDS and i realized he was doing a Keanu Reeves lol. ofc Schwartman plugs his head into a computer to hack.

lol everyone watching the download screen going "Come on! Come on!"

alo really loved the ending when the characters were asking Ronald Reagan to explain all their plothole questions.

I had the opposite experience to last season - I thought this started bad and got better as it went along. The storm episode is maybe an all-time WHAS highlight. The whole terrifying "shit on my shit, shit on my shit" bit is still making me laugh. In the last episode, "the food critic review is in - very delicious!" is like one of the great non-sequitur deliveries of our time.

Also, fight scenes were pretty good! That I wasn't expecting.

Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 19 August 2017 15:23 (six years ago) link

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.

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.

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

"Okay, I’m hearing you, and what I’m hearing is that what is bothering you is that many lives were lost. Now I don’t have an answer that I feel is going to satisfy you…"

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

-_- (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 19 August 2017 23:55 (six years ago) link

one month passes...

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.

nomar, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 22:10 (six years ago) link

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

Evan R, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 22:21 (six years ago) link

six years pass...
