maybe i just don't get it. it's like they realized they wrote a perfect song, panicked, and then added a violin solo.

I guess if you write a song that good, you can give it whatever dumbass title you want.

Big news I can finally share - season two of
'Joe Pera Talks With You' will be coming out this holiday season on @adultswim.

There are 14 new episodes, each with new topics, and I will let you speculate whether this fire hydrant will be introduced as a new major character. https://t.co/jED4yFjs7i

t the time very tired) partner said his show was "too awkward" to enjoy, it made her too anxious. i said you must have watched the wrong episode and put on the episode where he talks you to sleep. she said "actually this is amazing" and fell asleep before it ended.

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."

This is the sweetest comedy ever. I would happily watch feature length episodes of Joe going about his day.

paolo, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 12:41 (four years ago) link

He's just become 'that twentysomething guy who acts like he's in his late seventies' at this point

He's only in his twenties?????

paolo, Wednesday, 11 September 2019 12:42 (four years ago) link

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."

hope this is made officially available in the uk somehow so i'm not just boring people about something they can't watch.

oh hey this is in the uk now on all4 :)

devvvine, Friday, 13 September 2019 07:24 (four years ago) link

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

ive shared this show with about ten people now and half completely get it and love and the other half are done within about four minutes of the first ep.

de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 22 November 2019 20:42 (four years ago) link

this is back with new episodes in like two weeks!

this is remarkably sweet; joe is completely and honestly freaked out and Colbert genuinely likes this guy and wants him to succeed

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 6 December 2019 19:58 (four years ago) link

nice. just checked on my YouTubeTV account and 2 episodes have been added already.

'Kay well I'd seen and enjoyed some of his stand-up and filmed shorts in the past but only just got around to watching the show tonight and...this is something truly special.

Masters of Engilsh Litera-ture (Old Lunch), Saturday, 7 December 2019 02:47 (four years ago) link

Holy cow, I recognized him immediately and then thought 'no way is that actually hum' but sure enough, that was totally a Mark Borchardt cameo in the rat wars episode!

Masters of Engilsh Litera-ture (Old Lunch), Saturday, 7 December 2019 03:19 (four years ago) link

2nd ep of the new season really got me.

de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Saturday, 7 December 2019 06:37 (four years ago) link

i never thought a show could have me as emotionally invested in a bean arch, but here we are.

the shitty baseball-playing yooper me from my childhood was cheering wildly during episode 2.

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Saturday, 7 December 2019 06:49 (four years ago) link

This is, of course, the best show.

I hit my hands on my pants when the ice cream store is closed.

Masters of Engilsh Litera-ture (Old Lunch), Saturday, 7 December 2019 14:04 (four years ago) link

Ep 3/4 were both great and misted me up a bit even as they undercut the emotion.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 14:57 (four years ago) link

First two eps were solid. No idea if or how he could top the end of s1 but I'm eager to see him try.

Simon H., Tuesday, 17 December 2019 14:58 (four years ago) link

this show nails the sweetest midwestern sentiments of things that could or could not be troubling.

continue to love that Gene the cameraman on Seth Meyers is Gene in Joe Pera's world

friend told me that over the holidays he watched a few eps with his grandfather, who loved them and got hooked, raving that Joe was "very moral" and "should be deacon"

that's so wholesome!

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 27 December 2019 19:12 (four years ago) link

my partner L. _hated_ this show until I explained to her that no one is laughing at Joe and there's not some weird gloss of metahumor where we're all making fun of him and his world but that it is the squarest show on television and yet still very enjoyably sweet and funny. Then she liked it. She thought I was being mean by watching it and laughing!

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 27 December 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link

I shared like the first 4-5 episodes with people I'm generally very in sync with wrt comedy and, well, let's say the response was muted at best. Disappointing, but this kinda is its own unique creature so it's hard to tell who's gonna vibe with ol' Joe.

Drive Like a Demon From Steakhouse to Steakhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 30 December 2019 18:22 (four years ago) link

Ah but then a friend texted me yesterday asking what the name of the show was with the guy who talked about rocks and breakfast so I may have been too hasty in assessing the reception. I have to remember that it takes time and patience to grow a bean arch.

the moment he found out he had enough money to buy ice cream and got the gallon pail of vanilla might have been the pinnacle of midwest nods in the show's run.

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:28 (four years ago) link

i've been enjoying the new season and last night went back and watched "joe pera lights up the night with you" which is one of my favorites despite getting zero votes here

oof those last couple of episodes. when sarah took over the show momentarily to give joe space, it blew my mind

When I saw him live on this tour in DC he ended up talking to a woman in the crowd who worked in the White House and he made several asides about he was now worried about being targeted by Joe Biden.

I'll also point out that he put the special on YouTube ad-free, which is a really nice thing for him to do especially since it's getting a good amount of views!

frogbs, Monday, 9 October 2023 17:01 (six months ago) link

i saw him in madison on the tour that turned into this special, looking forward to watching
