It's one of those shows that even if I don't like an episode on first view I grow to enjoy it on repeat viewings

shame on an IGA posted:Science Court loving owned why doesn't anyone ever talk about Science Court I didn't think anyone else even remembered Science Court until now. The episode on polling was probably one of the most informative things I'd ever watched in my life. It really emphasized how inherent bias, skewed sampling and undersampling can return junk data.

It's ok I suppose but not something I'd voluntarily seek to watch. Just feels kind of plain and boring. Archer is the better John Benjamin show. Yes even now

it feels like somewhere after season 6-7 they kind of moved away from the "music is intentionally bad as the joke" to "we're doing this earnestly" and i don't know how i feel about that. give gene back his keyboard! also the latest buttworms episode? a crime. i hate how often the show uses puke as the joke. Big Mouth too. the sound of retching has Never Been Funny.

I don't think the music was intentionally bad so much as it was leads don't have the best singing voices. The lyrics tend to be pretty decent and the music itself is good

I broadly agree with you but Linda's retching noise cracks me up every time (it helps that my wife makes the exact same sound when she's grossed out by something) I think the only really funny part of the buttworms episode was Bob's reaction after doing an internet search on pinworms

They are claiming it was written before covid and was left unchanged. Gene eating that tot off the floor would have been funny and not the cringe / gross out reaction most people had. The entire episode was off because of it. It was supposed to seem like a ridiculous situation but it actually was a look at a less chaotic situation than we're living in. I think it's an episode that will be an interesting rewatch in 5-6 years when this is hopefully behind us.

Nah the tater-tot thing was loving disgusting regardless of the current pandemic situation. Linda's whole arc in that episode felt like a G-rated rejected Always Sunny plot.

On second watching of the pinworm episode I was already enjoying it a lot more. The tater tot is gross and it's gross that they run a restaurant and have probably been passing the worms to customers. Hugo would have a justifiable field day with this one. But I like the episode pretty well. Linda should play classical music at home and Bob and Linda should help their kids do better in school.

did everyone else know about pinworms growing up? i somehow didn't realize they were a specific thing until, uh. i saw the episode. and then it dawned on me how much less itchy my rear end in a top hat is as an adult than it was as a child. this has been a Very Special Episode of I Learned A Thing, with Phiz Kalifa.

Panic!

I don't know why but that's the funniest drat thing to me.

Don't worry, all of the kids are actually played by adults and get paid for their labor. I think the labor law exception is probably a cutout for farmers you know farmers have to have their kids work the land.

Cafe Barbarian posted:Don't worry, all of the kids are actually played by adults and get paid for their labor. that's a part of it but small family owned restaurants really commonly lean on their kids for cheap labor, for the same reason bob burger does - he can't afford to pay employees to do it, it has to get done, and getting the kids to pitch in is better than the restaurant going broke i know someone who basically grew up in her dad's pizza joint and she was bussing tables by age ten. that's just the nature of family business sometimes. it's been a norm in human existence for all but the last couple hundred years, really - having a childhood is a luxury for the modern age

I mean to an extent it's also a work-is-home situation, especially in Bob's case - they literally live above the restaurant. I dunno, my pops is an electronics engineer and I grew up helping him with minor tasks - I still remember reloading those pen-style ink cartridges into the giant-rear end plotter we had in the basement, and troubleshooting the old 28.8 modem. Plus, in the case of the show, it's been both heavily implied and explicitly expressed that Bob's lifelong dream is for Louise to grow up and take over the restaurant.

Also on the subject of Bob and Louise, their relationship is absolutely adorable to me. I dunno how realistic it actually is or isn't, but the little moments where they let slip how much they actually care for each other (the toilet seat song comes to mind) really melts my cold dead heart.

Who What Now posted:Tina. His dream for Louise is probably that she not kill someone. Louise literally says it in the museum episode, plus the way she gets jealous when Bob pays attention to someone else (the community garden episode), and the closeness they have that nobody else in the family has (Hawk & Chick, the "burn unit" stuff) Bob's dream for Tina is probably that she gets to adulthood without being forced to register as a sex offender.
