Finished this last night.
Started Vice Principals this afternoon. So far, not enjoying it as much as Gemstones. Enjoying it, yes. Just not as much.

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.

We’re watching the Season 1 finale of Vice Principals right now. What fucking assholes. I don’t like these characters at all anymore.

We’re still liking it. It’s just that after seeing that episode, it’s hard to actually root for them. Well, I never really rooted for Russell, but Gamby seemed like he was actually coming around as a person. Nope. The way Russell keeps complimenting Gamby about all the shit they did to Dr Brown makes me think he’s recording everything somehow for a huge setup of Gamby.
Russell’s interactions with his mother-in-law are some of the best things about the show.
As of right now, Gemstones is far and away our favorite. Still have to do Eastbound after this, tho.

As this is becoming an unofficial Jody Hill thread, what do you all think of Observe and Report?

i fucking love that movie. Its deranged, violent and so funny.
About Vice Principals...it really speaks of how good the writing it because i understand Wease not liking these guys, and how that will unfold in season 2.
