The best part of this gag is that Claire Danes' father-in-law is actually an ethics professor who has taught a lot about moral particularism. This goddamn show.
Haha holy cow, I had no idea the two Dancys were related! That's amazing.

I liked Jason Mantzoukas' in the HBO drama Enlightened, but that's about it. I did like a few of his lines in his second episode on this show, though. Particularly when the fight started to break out.

He's great in Big Mouth. So is Nick Kroll, who people also dislike.

I think he was well cast here. The reveal at the end of "Michael and Janet" made me laugh a lot because I wasn't expecting it but he's pretty much perfect for "Janet's attempt to create a person".

Yeah, Mantzoukas almost exclusively plays these type of characters:

Hi everyone, I binged the show while at my parents' for the holidays, and have caught up today! It is very good! Seriously I love it.

Also here's a shot of everyone's ethics papers from a recent episode:

Or you can see me at The Riviera. Tuesday nights.
Pillowfights with Dominican mothers.
It's so adorable that Jason put his age on the cover sheet too. This show is packed with great little details, and has so many character-based gags. Too many shows skimp on that kind of thing.

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
I love Jason Mantzoukas' one character but I can understand why you'd dislike him. He kind of takes over the later seasons of The League since the writers basically fell in love with him.

Jason pulling a C- on his Ethnics paper is pretty good.

Right? Even if it was a bit of a gift, he had to have been paying at least some attention! Good job, Jason!!

Michael would be the one who would know how much time they've earned, or at least a good guestimate. How long would it take to enter the Medium Place to search for them, how long is Vicki going to be kept in a cocoon, etc.

It's still possible Michael was just doing this to save himself. The most likely people to rat on him were Vicky and the humans, now Vicky is discredited and the humans think he's on their side.

Actually no the humans were going to have their memories examined so he'd instantly be found out, unless he came up with a pretext for erasing their memories before Shawn came back, but that would be narratively uninteresting so they probably won't do it.
