I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The water bottle opening and scarf snatching were the best.

I was cackling when she talked about Selina's orgasms as being either "vaginal" [with the soft "g"] or clitoral.

This show can still make me laugh but I'm just not blown away by this season. It's not holding together that well for me, especially when compared to season 5 which was all genius.
