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.

It's a perfectly pleasant and benign show. The real hysterical moments are few and far between.

I think the characters they've created are excellent, but the writing is a little lacking.

Keep watching, man.

Season 3 is one of the greatest seasons of any TV sitcom that I've ever seen. It's about to get sooooooo good.

Oh, I will. I think I sounded harsher than I wanted to sound. I definitely like it. I've got 6 episodes left of season 2.

Seriously, you're about to hit the sweet spot. The show's best is the home stretch of S2 - S4.

But S3 is really special.
