Regarding the podcast, does anyone remember which episode and maybe even about what time they talk about the origin of "ya basic".

It might be the most recent Jen Statsky episode. I think it’s right at the end, that would be 14/15 with her and Joe Mande.

All I know is that it’s devastating.

Nick Offerman voices the ad in the most recent episode, I really hope this means he is part of season 3.

Mantzoukas Manzoukased the shirt out of the podcast today. Learning that a) Derek's dialogue was run through two layers of Google Translate, and b) that Maximum Derek was an on the day improv felt just right. I also was not expecting the shout out to Binge Mode in the what's good.

I'm still not the biggest fan of Zouks' style of humor, but hearing how he approached Derek means I retroactively dislike the character substantially less.

In like ep 3 of s2. When they're in mindy st clares place they look through their previous plans that the've forgotton. One of those previous plans was 'capture that magic teleporting panda and steal its powers' (a jason plan). The cgi guy addef a magic teleporting panda to tie off the joke

I’ve determined the joke is now funnier since it probably wasn’t Jason’s plan after all since the magic panda was real. They just assumed it was his because of how stupid it sounded.

I donno, Jason's a dingdong but he has his moments. It could be that it was Jason's plan and the panda was a real thing (that Michael created).

Or the panda is a good place spy :tinfoil:

Just rewatched Trolley Problem again, alongside chunks of other episodes, but drat Trolley still gets me laughing on a rewatch which most shows don't. Mike's drawing at the beginning really got me and then the Trolley simulations just kept the funny going.

Evil Ted Danson is amazing. I'm hopeful the writers bring him back to form in season 3. You could tell there was some introspection after season 1 and in season 2 they focused more on what worked (namely, more Ted Danson).

Based on the podcast it seems like the guiding principle of the show is just to use Ted Danson as much as possible.

I've never seen that. But, having been around when a comedy skit he did at the Friar's Club made the news, I'm just happy his career survived October 8th, 1993.

The fact there doesn't seem to be any video of that available anywhere might be the only reason honestly, video makes it way harder to forget...

Yep. She helped write it, and referred him to a makeup artist. They were dating at the time, and she thought that in the context of being at the Friar's Club during her own roast, it would be fine.

Yes, but Whoopi doesn't speak for all black people and he should drat well know the optics of a white man calling a black woman a friend of the family on stage and why some of us would not be here for it
