I love how Jerry mentions great, non-political comedy shows like... M.A.S.H. The show about doctors working during the Korean war.

Oh, you mean the show that was an unveiled criticism of the Vietnam war? That wasn't political at all.

Or All in the family! The premise of the show is literally a conservative patriarch in conflict with his more liberal daughter and son-in-law

This is me begging to see vid of the chaos of the Stink Bug Incident, with Trav as the ranting prophet of Gaia while Justin and Griffin lose it.

Although watching Justin come up with the madness of the final segment, on the fly, would also be Very Good.

Travis sending an insect swarm to bedevil Justin for his crimes against Mother Gaia is an all-time bit

So just to hopefully get the word out before anyone gets sick, UNWASHED eggs can last a couple weeks unrefrigerated. All storebought eggs in the USA and canada are not only prewashed, but heavily heavily washed, and can last maybe two or three days at best and even that is a notable risk.

Yeah, general rule is if they're in the fridge at the store, keep them in the fridge. If they're not, you don't have to. If they have ever been refrigerated, even if they're unwashed, you still have to keep them refrigerated from then on, because condensation from the temperature difference can lead to nasties entering the inside of the egg. (Just consolidating egg info.)

He probably changes the channel before Archie has his learning moment. And I wish I was joking. My dad loves Archie Bunker for all the wrong reasons, ie., the stuff he says for most of the episode before somebody puts him in his place.

As someone who loves og Fraiser and (regrettably) watched 6 episodes of the reboot, the crew going to Mr. Kelsey (irl Fraiser) Grammer as the Fraiser fact checker explains so much about the reboot

@pooolB

14 күн бұрын

The best way I can explain it is the reboot feels like if Fraiser himself found out he had a show about him, then attempted to make a new show under his strict guidance. There is a running joke(?) that everyone knows who he is and how successful and smart he is and he naturally smells very good for some reason. The acting of his son is probably the best part, everything else is just like any other mid sitcom. It's not horrible, but it's just kinda...there

@richardreid6515

Sounds about right. The reboot is aimed at Frasier fans' nostalgia, so not surprising 'Frasier is great and amazing and popular' would wind up in the mix.

idk I know Kelsey Grammer as "The Rumble", the MFing Rumble, Darius Rumble Grouch and we're gonna take down The Money Plane

Harry Dresden reference!!! OH FUCK YEAH!!!!!

More like... Jerry-atric, am I rite?!

Nature vs wood finish was some classic brotherly arguments loved that

as someone who works in a library, getting eggs delivered to work is extremely usual

Justin: “I made it!” Griffin: “yOU DidN’t MAkE SHIT!!” That whole section had me dying 🤣🤣

This may just be the best episode so far. Immaculate unhinged energy

My parents actually told me last night that theyve been binging young sheldon and that they love it so much and its the funniest show theyve ever seen please pray for me.

That Frasier compilation is in my recommended feed below this video 😂

WHERE IS OUR MCELROY FAMILY FUNHOUSE?!?!?

The funniest part of the Jerry saga is that the funniest parts of Seinfeld were written by Larry David who has had multiple successful shows since.

One of the wildest titles we've had in a while

The comment about Daniel Day Lewis reminded me of a conversation with my two best friends. F1: “what is that one Kristen Stewart movie?” Me: “the one with house?” F1: “yeah” F2: “how does that help at all?”

Fridge or no fridge eggs depends on how they were treated prior to you getting the eggs, which tends to depend on where you live. (If they're in the fridge at the store, keep them in the fridge.)

This is the second time they've discussed breakfast foods in a library. I don't know what this means for the McElroy brothers, but it can't be good.

I really appreciate the staff-god-nature debate, really horizon-widening

jesus fucking christ ive listened to the sitcom bit at the start so many times for no reason at all whatsoever and i just TODAY noticed travis’s “strudel justice warriors” joke. i cannot BELIEVE justin and griffin just ignored it, it was GOLD

so glad to hear the Bradford pear hate

I still don't love you hating on the people who helped me get through my childhood, I said something when you crit hit rowan attkinson too. I mean you're not wrong, but they are old, and...idk I just don't like it when these old guys are outed for having a different view. I agree that how they honed their craft was for an audience that ought not exist anymore, but there is something about honing the comedy craft being an appeal to the collective unconscious that ought to still be allowed to go into sunset, cowboy style. It's on them, because they're failing to recognise that when society changes, comedy changes, but..... OK...he's not a victim, he just doesn't know, and maybe neither do I, how the tides change, and what the past meant..but comedy is on this knife's edge... Your criticism of him is funny now, because it's serious and relevant, but in the future it too will just be serious, but no longer as relevant, and not funny. I can't stress enough how much I love you guys, but truth is something which needs to grow, and I don't believe that Jerry wasn't a part of that. When irony ceases to fall out of relevance, that's when no progress is being made, but asking people to give up on irony is just beyond human isn't it? I'm not that good, I'm not that beyond. Are you? I don't know, I just know I don't like it when you slam these guys, however shitty and unrepeatable the past is/was.

I think the main fire for them shitting on the guys you mentioned is that Jerry and Rowan make so much money that there is no way they will ever listen to or give a damn about what the brothers say. The good good brothers went through the ringer for 6 episodes of a show, meanwhile Jerry and Rowan are still swimming in million dollar deals about Pop-tarts and bees or whatever. Not to say you're wrong about any of it, just fits in their motto of "punching up."

it sounds like maybe you need to take a look at the people who "made your childhood" and ask if that was rly a good thing. calling some washed up comedian (who was frankly never that funny without larry david) out for pivoting to right wing grifting after losing his relevance in hopes of grabbing just a bit more money and fame in his old age sounds perfectly valid to me.

@takisnotdead i would welcome you disagreeing with me more than this, and I appreciate getting any response, I just feel like the whole, being on the right side of history thing, is more of a pass the baton kind of deal. Which I think that both sides are failing on. I am old though, and I just can't imagine my life without either of those comedians, and the future of comedy will continue to acknowledge irony. Rather than try and be beyond it. I'm sorry I can't express this better, but I am old, I do think that the temptation to imagine that any generation has transcended irony is short sighted, I think it will remain a part of comedy until we actually reach social harmony (at the very least) and I think that pointing out irony will always be impolite, politically incorrect and subversive to social norms, whatever the social norms may be, until it becomes boring.

@rxttencandy I Don't disagree, I just think that there's something about ironic comedy that is insightful to some people while it seems insensitive to others, I don't think that comedians know everything, and I think that they often normalise terrible things to insensitive sadistic people, but offer genuine insight to genuinely sensitive people
