Ya that was a pretty good own I also liked it when Henry Winkler was like "you searched for meaning in death, but there is no meaning in death and that's okay :)" but having said that I disliked how Henry Winkler was all like, "I'm Henry Winkler! Playing myself on this show! haha" different strokes different folks.

Can I talk about all the cartoons I have opinions on here I have a lot of opinions like how Bob Burgers is a bad show for unfunny people and the latest season of Venture Bros was really really really bad

I actually don't like Bob's Burgers very much. The kids really get on my nerves like why are you purposefully sabotaging your family just for shits you demon child argh.

heres a plot: a zany male with a boring office job plays the main role. his friends are mostly the poeple they work with. this show chronicles their boring work lives with a few dramatic moments of conflict and misunderstanding. eventually the main character falls for one of his coworkers and the romance spans multiple seasons.

I liked Marco Polo. Yeah it wasn't the best but I'm a sucker for kung fu stuff and that's a cool intro song. Narcos was good. I like OitnB.

Narcos was good, but I didn't really find the DEA side of the storyline to be that interesting (felt forced and contrived).

Its funny to me how passionate people are about a cartoon show.

Not just here, people everywhere seem to have very strong opinions about Bob's Burgers that they are willing to argue about.

Yeah I agree, I found myself basically just waiting for those bits to end. I get the value of the PoV from the DEA but yeah it felt not super well done and I could have even done without the family drama stuff. Just an agent realizing how futile his job really is would have been fine.

For twelve years you've been asking "Who is John Galt?" This is John Galt speaking. I'm the man who's taken away your victims and thus destroyed your world. You've heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis and that Man's sins are destroying the world. But your chief virtue has been sacrifice, and you've demanded more sacrifices at every disaster. You've sacrificed justice to mercy and happiness to duty. So why should you be afraid of the world around you?

Your world is only the product of your sacrifices. While you were dragging the men who made your happiness possible to your sacrificial altars, I beat you to it. I reached them first and told them about the game you were playing and where it would take them. I explained the consequences of your 'brother-love' morality, which they had been too innocently generous to understand. You won't find them now, when you need them more than ever.

We're on strike against your creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties. If you want to know how I made them quit, I told them exactly what I'm telling you tonight. I taught them the morality of Reason – that it was right to pursue one's own happiness as one's principal goal in life. I don't consider the pleasure of others my goal in life, nor do I consider my pleasure the goal of anyone else's life.

all i remember is trying to hate watch it one night, and couldn't get past the intro. You know how like an esports commentator starts going crazy when someone makes a really strong dragon or something? That happens in the intro when some dude plays lightning bolt or some poo poo, and the announcerslike " OMG OMG LIGHTNINGBOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLT LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTNINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG BOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLT AAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA LIGHTNING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and i couldn't take it anymore

Lady Dynamite is pretty good imo. She uses her manager's real name in the show, and her and Scott Aukerman maintain there's at least a little truth to his character on the show, which I find hilarious

I agree! I've always liked Bamford's standup and she's pretty open about her mental issues. It's p cool that a legit hilarious woman has a show about mental illness and it's not a painful pity party like Girls.

It's actually pretty interesting and it doesn't glamorize MTG much tbh. It just profiles a few of the top players, talks about their motivation for playing and follows them through a few major tournaments. It shows guys (and girls) who are completely dedicated to a card game despite not being able to make a real living at it. Even the best players have boring side jobs and live at home with their parents. It's cool to see people who are so driven and dedicated to something that gives them very little reward aside from personal accomplishment.

For some reason I thought it was out later in the summer, but I'll definitely have to check it out. I like Maria Bamford too, so when I heard about this show I was pretty interested in it.

i liked where david spade whacked the mexican lady in the face with his laptop because he knew she was lying becasue adam sandlers character "Maxi Pad" would never have hurt an innocent, even though the whole movie was about how adam sandler lived a double life and was completely untrustworthy or something, but then after whacking the mexican lady in the face she just pulled a gun on him anyway, so the whole scene was just pointless

Nobody seemed to like Netflix Presentes: The Characters BUT is is actually very cool and funny, and in ~4 years when Berlant/Early and maybe another 1 or 2 of the other ones are hot poo poo in comedy everyone that rated it one star is going to say yes hmm i knew there was something special about them when I first enjoyed the characters. They just shouldn't have led with Lauren Lapkus, she's the most famous but she's also a weirdo and that kind of uncomfortable humor could have been built up to.
