Sounds like somebody just likes Eric Andre.
Yea, he's definitely my favorite part of the show. I like Jay Baruchel and the girl who plays Lucy quite a bit, but they are no match for Andre.
Unfortunately, they followed with what I would consider the first ever actually bad episode in the show's history. I think the only episode that has even approached bad. Wasn't funny, wasn't original, was straight-up-the-middle, way too on-the-nose, and too squeaky-clean nice for this show.

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.

Interesting. I'll have to look into it once I'm done obsessing about Gilmore Girls.

Always, always, always! Yes!

I started Downton Abbey yesterday. 2 episodes and I'm already hooked. I don't know why I waited so long.

Yeah, my wife almost tapped out on this show because things were going so badly for Pete through the first 3 episodes; this one renewed her vigor for it. I also thought it was great.
One downside: I have had a story on the back-burner for yeeeears that I wanted to turn into something (a piece of long writing, a novel, something) but this show is basically doing it better and funnier. Oh, well.
