It gets all the way under my skin and skips rope with my every nerve. Just fucking terrible people being terribly unfunny while shoving their self-entitled narcissistic asshole affluence and pretentiousness down my fucking throat. And I get that that's the joke. I do. But....

I just have better things to do with my time. There are too many shows that are just so much better. There are a handful of decent laughs and more than a few good ideas strung across the four seasons. But overall, it just isn't my thing. I can't get past rich people being assholes.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

I never considered this until now, but the Pfeffermans from Transparent are sort of like the other side of the Bluthe family coin -- same snotty kids with the same sense of entitlement, but obviously the circumstances and tone are totally different.

I need to check out that show. Maybe once I'm caught up on Casual.

I do really identify with Buster, though. I'd probably watch a spinoff show about him. Or one about Tobias.

I can't remember if you watch Veep? Tony Hale steals the show, and it's definitely an extension of the Buster character.

I heard an interview with JLD in which she described her character's relationship with Hale's as "He's like a vine that has been growing around her for years." It was just. so. perfect.

I haven't watched all of Veep. I watched most of season one before getting distracted by other stuff. But I LOVED him on the show.
