Gretchen's half of this last episode was like getting punched in the gut repeatedly, but in a good way

i'll let you all decide what to make of that.

She's really good at playing both sides of it the turn at the dinner table and then immediately back when they left was fantastic.

Oh yeah, I thought it was Absinthe at first but they make sure you get a good view of the bottle when Vernon is sitting in the ground having his breakdown. The astrologers having creme de menthe on their liquor caddy is just a really perfect touch.

Mean PFT is soooooo good.

Glad he got to pop up on the show, I hope he got some scenes with JV. I had the chance to see them do improv in Detroit, in that I live about an hour from Detroit and have some amount of money on my person and a car, but it just didn't work out and I didn't make it out there. Always fun to see either of them in just about anything though!

oh yeah chugging straight from a bottle from Creme de Menthe is a real good shorthand for "poo poo's hosed up yo"

also the ending of that was sort of sweet and totally unexpected. I almost wish we weren't gonna see them ever again and they get their weird little poly romance family happy ending but I also know that Lyndsay (and Jimmy/Gretchen) learning about it is going to be spectacular.

How the gently caress are there only four episodes left :argh:

This was a really good but a little flawed one. I'm glad Jimmy and Gretchen didn't destroy Vernon/Becca/Paul's happiness, and I'm glad Edgar stood up to Paul F. Tompkins, though I wish it had happened on-camera.

Great episode. I could kind of see the The Game thing coming once things started escalating but it was still perfectly executed and completely hilarious. Interesting how they went from "these two shouldn't be getting married" to "things change" to "Gretchen is stealing pills" at the end there. The wedding seems to be still on based on the flashbacks so I'm really looking forward to that trainwreck.

I disagree with Edgar in this episode. I know plenty of great couples who have fairly separate lives. They've been together for years, they love each other, they always wanna go home to each other, but their friend circles have little overlap and they don't necessarily come as a pair all the time. It's OK to not wanna be joined at the hip with your partner.

Gretchen's mom gives me intense flashbacks to my family and why I don't talk to them much unless we're all drunk.

And I truly love how Jimmy finally sees Edgar as an actual friend and that fight at the end is brilliant. I haven't been this excited for a series finale in a long time.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

i was watching a random episode of Modern Family last night and I literally gasped when I saw Chris Geere show up dating the older daughter. He plays like, a super British uber-dork and it was really weird to see a guy who I've literally only ever seen play a deeply broken alcoholic smut writer in an ABC sitcom episode

it's going to be equally weird when Kether's ABC pilot gets picked up and she has to play a single mom who *doesn't* get an abobo on the reg

edit: seriously it's weird how few things I've seen the main four actors in the show in that aren't YTW. I knew Janet Varney prior to watching the show through her podcast, and Paul and Vernon are both in national commercials that I've seen a shitload of (weirdly both Progressive insurance commercials, which makes me thing someone in the ad department there is a fan of YTW), but the main people have been quiet.

Although apparently Chris Geere is in Detective Pikachu and I'm gonna watch that movie about 100 times so that might break me of this feeling

Google suggests that Janet Varney voices Korra but that just doesn’t add up because Korra and Becca don’t sound remotely similar?

now i'm really disappointed that there aren't any videos on Youtube of clips of Korra saying horrible, horrible things that Becca said.

"Whatever. In five months, I will be on a Disney cruise with my family, while you're at divorce court, looking back on the time someone took pity on you and let you sing on their stupid song."

Well sure, but usually I can place Tom Kenny or Mark Hammill or DiMaggio or Spiner etc etc etc doing their thing even if they’re really putting on a voice, but I can’t match Becca and Korra in my head at all.
