Joe Pera Talks with You

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.

this was so good.

oh man the ending of the bachelor party episode <3

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

End of this season broke my heart

watched s1 last nite, loved it v much. reminds me of my grandparents

There are still 4 eps left this season, thank goodness

Oh cool! I thought it was ten eps.

connor o'malley has a special screen presence

this is my favourite show

if you haven't seen this standup routine it is definitely worth your time

lol, thank you for that

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

only watched a few eps but yes it's my favorite thing this year. outside of On Cinema $11

has anyone seen that YouTube series he did with Connor O'Malley called "How To Make it in USA"? 9 episodes, about 40 minutes total, but its really great. Pera is hilarious but Connor steals the show

This topped my (short) ballot for that poll.

Really needed the “Joe Pera Shows You How to do Good Fashion” after the 1-2 gut punch of the previous episodes.

Ok I’m at the part where he starts talking about Dragon Ball, this show is amazing

tried introducing this to my wife the other day

"so this is the whole episode? he just goes to the grocery store?"

"yeah its one of my favorite ones"

"huh.....you know this guy is exactly like your friend Tim"

Someone needs to put out the Joe Pera haircut style poster immediately

Sarah: "Guess it's back to the rat race tomorrow"

Joe: "Please don't mention that movie anymore"

Sarah: "Sorry...guess it's back to school tomorrow"

Joe: "Now that movie, you can mention any time"

There are certain performances and rhythms in this show that make me think of it as kind of like a Midwestern, live-action King of the Hill.

I realized this specifically in the episode where they go to Milwaukee.

ok it was always bothering me that this guy reminded me of **someone** and I finally figured out who it was

about 10 years ago there was this middle aged Southern guy named Steve Sutton who did a daily video blog even though he led a totally uneventful life and never really had anything to say. occasionally he would post little tutorials. a friend and I used to follow this guy religiously because there was something weirdly relaxing about watching him. it was like a daily moment of zen. anyway looking him up on YouTube again it looks like at least one of his videos got kind of famous

They just added this to the All 4 streaming service in the UK/Ireland. I've only watched two episodes: the Church announcements one and the very first one. I can't decide whether to just mill through the whole lot in one weekend or save them up for when I really need them. I just love it.

just plow through and then watch them multiple times when you need a pick me up

That seems like a good plan.

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!

I had to convince my husband of the same thing. He was really worried that it was some super-extreme comedy of embarrassment. But he relaxed when I assured him nothing bad would happen to Joe.

I feel confident in saying that Steve Sutton knows jack shit about making sweet iced tea.

Look, I know I've had a drink, but Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep almost made me cry.

considering Sarah's main personality quirk I feel like recent events absolutely have to factor into season 3

in that recent "showrunners write a corona episode" piece in vulture there was a joe pera piece

JOE and SARAH sit on their respective cots in Sarah’s fortified basement, each reading big books. Joe looks up, asks …

JOE: “Sarah, do you think they’re still gonna do Movie Night at the library next week?”

SARAH: “What?”

Joe removes from his mouth the cinnamon stick he’s been chewing on.

JOE: “Do you think that there’ll be Movie Night at the library next week?”

Sarah opens her mouth to respond but pauses. Of course, it’ll be canceled, but she knows how much Joe looks forward to the event each month and doesn’t want to give him the disappointing news.

Unfortunately, the pause lingers long enough for Joe to figure it out and he nods and returns to reading, disheartened.

Sarah sees the sad look on his face and begins to hum the tune of “Good Time Girl,” used in the opening credits of The New Pope, a television show that they have been watching this week — one episode each night before bed.

Joe doesn’t look up from his book but begins to move his shoulders up and down to the beat. Though he will never be able to dance like the attractive nuns at the beginning of each episode, Sarah and Joe imagine him doing so and smile.

They go back to their books. —Joe Pera

dang tho

Naturally, I bought Ladies of the Lights, by Patricia Majher. And, naturally, I can only hear Joe Pera's voice as I read it.

I am growing mange tout peas up the side of a gazebo, which is the closest I can get to a bean arch this year.

We finally watched the first day of school episode, and with everything that's going on at the moment, it straight up made me cry.
