TV: The Chair Company

[VinylGuy]

yeah, and Mike is on another league of weird.

[Mecca]

It reminds me of the actors in Tim and Eric’s projects

[Farmer John]

The real special sauce for this show is the casting. Where the hell do they find these actors? The guy who uncovered the short-sleeve-to-long-sleeve resold shirt was amazing. He gets thrown in a scene with the shirt salesman who was a highlight of a previous episode. There are like 3-4 of these roles per episode.

It was nice to see the shirt salesman make another appearance. What an odd fellow.

finally caught up on this last night and tonight. tremendous

I can see you as Ron.

I can see you as jeep tours.

I'll fucking waste you.

I'm not especially fond of Tim Robinson's sketch comedy but something about how it's applied to long-form narrative makes this much more enjoyable, compelling, and -- yes -- funny, than I Think You Should Leave. It took me a couple episodes to really latch on to what the show was doing. It also helps that the show has a lot more going for it than just the comedy

Baffling finale

[Jorge]

So glad Minnie Mouse is back in a house where they SCREAM AT HER EVERY NIGHT

[Simple Torture]

Shout out to Rhode Island getting mentioned in the finale (sort of).

This show’s weirdness just getting layer upon layer deeper until the final moment of the season is just A+-level commitment to a bit that I can’t get enough of.

[The Argonaut]

Too good

[spike]

That was the finale?

[Mecca]

This show, man. I’ve been singing that red ball market global hold music for weeks

[Simple Torture]

I mean, rank the finale reveals:

Spoiler: show

1. There are apparently vampires in this world?
2. Amanda has telekinetic powers and masterminded the chair breaking as payback for Ron throwing a hot dog down her shirt in high school.
3 LDP can really sing!
4. Mike is, in fact, a creep and not some sort of harmless ne’er do well.

[Simple Torture]

Also I’m glad Mike learned a lesson from A Christmas Carol XXX.

[Strat]

Speechless

[bart]

Spoiler: show

3 LDP can really sing!

It’s like you’ve never seen La Bamba

Shit I actually have, but it's been years.

[VinylGuy]

Holy shit that finale was amazing!!!

Mike´s revelation was spot on. I loved it. That creepy dude at the end !! Jeff´s singing!!

This was probably the best series of the year.

[Mecca]

I would try Wendy’s Carvers

I just want to re-highlight this. It's really true. Mike, obviously, holy shit. The shirt salesman was also stupendous. But, like, in a way that I don't know if I've ever seen before. I'm being hyperbolic, but he was just operating on a whole nother level. Just phenomenal.

I recognize the daughter's fiance from Instagram, she's very funny on there and funny on the show, too.

Jim Downey, obviously

I might just rewatch the dang thing again right now

[Farmer John]

What a finale. What in the hell. Talk about unhinged! I shudder to think what season 2 might be like.

The biggest laugh, besides when it cut to credits, was when he was posing with the dog for instagram.
