Hell of a memory you got. I know I watched the PJ ep. But I don't think I saw the Jackson ep.

I recorded both episodes at my girlfriend’s place so I wouldn’t miss anything if we happened to be in a coital circumstance.

Ha!

Remember when you had to think about and pre-plan shit like that? What a world we live in now.

I know, right?!? And if the time on your vcr wasn’t the exact same as that of the network you were doomed to miss at least a few seconds.

Kids today have it made

but none of them want to work

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.

The Behind The Slime skit was funny.

it was soooo much better than the typical, bring out two or three characters and have them be interviewed where the skit goes on waayy too long. i really wish they would bag those things for good.

Those two sketches were my favorites too. I like Mulaney’s monologue and he made Monkey Judge work. Update was quick & brief due the time the 5 Timers and Subway review took up. I liked the steady, quick jokes too.
Lobster Bisque was so good in a new & unexpected way for Mulaney’s first hosting gig but now that a big, costumed song production piece with NYC references is expected from his episodes they have not been as good. This one was fine but once you saw the subway set you knew what was coming.
Good episode all around, or at least above average for the season.
