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.

Anyway, since we're treating this thread as a kind of catch-all Bob Odenkirk thread, here's a charity auction where you can bid to have Bob Odenkirk and David Cross join you for dinner. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186072286633?h ... 8c27960c98

hard pass on David Cross, $100 says he's annoying in real life

Spoiler: show

The scene where Jimmy and Kim are being held hostage in their condo by Lalo after Howard got shot was embarrassing for both Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn.

Not laughable for me. I think BCS is much better than Breaking Bad

I appreciate BB because it gave us Saul basically.
