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.

Yeah they’ve upped the visuals
Big time. The parking lot scenes were beautiful. Not just the photography but damn, the framing. And the cast is superb. Im psyched about this one.

Three episodes in and holy shit this is everything i've ever wanted.

Goodman is a fucking national treasure. What an actor.

And danny mcbride? My god. His humor is right in my sweet spot.

Also, does Adam Devine also play that hilarious guy he kind of lives with and works at the DMV?

Watched the first episode of this the other day and struggled to finish it. The satire was too outlandish to have any real bite. I appreciated the turn in the parking lot in the final minutes, but ultimately I can't see myself going back to this.

You're too brilliant for such low brow humor.
