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.

Jimmy and Sean recreating Summer’s dis song is everything that’s wrong about this show.

I’ll keep watching for Brian though. Amazing character.

The gay guy sucks. It’s like he’s trying to be the love child of Jack from Will and Grace and Mitchel from Modern Family, and he’s making me homophobic. Chill, dude! Let a scene fucking breathe.
