Remember when he made an even worse version of Garden State many years later?

Mark Duplass gets several lovely movie passes from me just for The League, but he burned several of them up for that turd. The one he did with the woman from Mad Men was ok.

I'm so glad that the mumblecore genre died out and Mark Duplass and Greta Gerwig moved on from that.

The League was just “Suburban It’s Always Sunny” and it felt impossible for me to ignore the many obvious and weird parallels. The shows both got progressively more mean spirited and unhinged as they grew, but while Sunny doubled down on the core cast to great success, The League went HARD into side characters and a level of wanton cruelty that sucked all the fun out of the show for me. The AIDS house thing was pretty funny tho

It didn't help that they were running on fumes as the show went on season after season. Always Sunny has managed to stay at a high level, with only mild dips in quality from time to time.

I couldn’t see it at the time I was into the League but Nick Kroll loving sucks, he’s like an energy vampire of comedy and I just hate everything he’s attached to.

I thought he was fantastic as Ruxin but you're right. I'd only disagree so far as to say maybe everybody has one good role in them and that was his. I've never laughed at his show or any of his guest spots on other, funnier shows. He was good in "Loving", playing a completely straight role, but even that may be that I was just waiting for him to bust out a Ruxin bit (he played a lawyer) and he never did

Forever Unclean and some other gags like Rafi were hysterical the first time but man they ran that into the ground hard. Taco's songs were dreadful on day one.

I think the best gags were usually something about how Andre has loads of money, absolutely no taste and a desperate need to be taken as sophisticated. So he'd buy ridiculous outfits or incredibly tacky, overpriced art, and spend the episode desperately trying to defend them.

I've only ever seen Kroll as a guest in other things I've seen like What We Do in the Shadows or Community, and he just seems to try and pull focus in any scene he's in.

Yeah, he was in Dickinson last week, and he was so restrained I didn't recognise him. So he can do it, he's just not often hired to do it.

The AIDS house thing was pretty funny tho Seinfeld might be the better comparison since one of the show runners wrote for Seinfeld and Curb. Almost every episode does that thing Seinfeld and Curb did where the episode ends on a callback from the first 5 minutes.

It’s awesome in Curb cause you’re guessing how this will gently caress over Larry.

You can see the show working on those tricks, where in Seinfeld and Curb it was artfully hidden. Lol of course Newman will burn alive in his mail truck. The League didn't have alot of jokes and relied on its cast to improvise a poo poo ton, and when it did jokes, they ran them into the ground. The show was largely unwatchable outside the first 2 seasons and the random Seth rogen Jason Manzoukas team up episodes.

I just binged through this show and I really enjoyed it. I liked that it was hard to tell if I was supposed to like a character or not and I didn't always know who the bad guys were. I really liked Stormfront's arc where she's just an edgy jerk, and then oh I guess she's a MAGA person, and then, oh, she's an actual bona fide nazi. I fully expected her to start talking in German at some point, I'm glad it happened when it did and not as soon as it popped up on the news. I did think it was weird at first that she was called Stormfront, like, they know there's another thing called stormfront, right? And then it all became clear. Also, lol when I scrolled down to the reviews. "I really like the show but ONE STAR GARBAGE because I had to wait a week to watch an episode." Yeah dude, they want you to keep subscribing.

For me it was when she committed multiple obviously racially motivated hate crimes at the end of the second episode. We all dogpiled that one goon, but there were actually 3-4 goons who were like “maybe she killed all those black people for a non-racially motivated reason!” it was more unsettling than the episode itself, TBH

That was episode 3, not episode 2. I watched the first two episodes thinking "Ugh, are they really going to have this edgy 4chan 'feminist' lecture Starlight for a whole season?"

Millions of people saw the Rodney King video and still didn't believe that the justice system is a violent, racist institution. People will rationalize just about anything.

Saying that everyone should have realised it from the name is absurd, she shoots lightening from her hands and shares a name with a weather pattern. Someone thinking that it sounds like an appropriate name without thinking "humz, isn't that the same name as an obscure US white supremacist website?" isn't being racist, especially if you take a second to remember that not literally everyone on the planet is from the same country as you.

Yeah, some people are just very resistant to recognizing racism, no matter how obvious, even if it's just on a tv show. And Bioshuffle posted early on that he'd read the comics, so he was well aware of who Stormfront was the entire time he was posting here.
