I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

No way is it the stupid fucking Mel Gibson episode.

I’ll allow Hank Scorpio a seat at the table.
Scorpio is definitely in contention, but I think my fav is Das Bus

I'm legit impressed that any of you knows the series well enough to have a list of favorite episodes, let alone that you guys know the titles.

I'm not as die hard of a fan as some around here, but I've seen every episode through probably season 14 or 15. The Tomacco episode is one of my personal favorites.

Me, too. I’m damned if I can rattle off episode titles and stuff, tho. And it’s probably been 10 years or more since I’ve even seen an episode.
Let me tell you, Homer Simpson is cock of nothing!

I'm mildly obsessed with Bob's Burgers. Go ahead and judge me.

I’m trying to watch Chernobyl and just...ugh. You really have to work hard to make this material bland/boring/unengaging but they’re pulling it off. The rigid stylistic formula of TV is so exhaustingly, exasperatingly dull.

HBO is the TV equivalent of Marvel.

But on the plus side, the wonderful medium of a TV series also allows them to drag out the narrative to a mindnumbing degree, foregoing any kind of pleasurable pacing or involving momentum! The golden age of television!

I thought you didn't care about the story or narrative.
