Vhak lord of hate posted:Did you entirely miss the point of the episode or was there some post that implied this? Harry posted:I loved how like a minute before that they were talking about how you don't want too many and then it cuts to like 15 thugish looking black guys at the bar. I thought it was a great episode. The bar scene was also a spoof on actual bars like that that are just terrible.

Is anyone else with DirecTV having trouble getting FXX now? The first two weeks of Always Sunny/League recorded fine, but not last night's episodes. It's telling me I don't subscribe, which is weird since everything else is working.

According to this http://news.directv.com/2013/08/30/fxx-free-trial-sept-2-sept-13/ you have to have the XTRA package or greater to get FXX. I guess they were just giving you a free trial from Sep 2 - 13.

Ah well there are definitely bars that are bright and colourful that serve bright colourful drinks staffed by bright colourful people, but emotional drama tends to vary on a case by case basis

This might be a dumb question or not the best place to ask it but I will anyway. I have Verizon FIOS. I get FXX. Is there no way to get FXX On Demand? I get FX On Demand. Searching for it also turns up nothing so am I pretty much out of luck? As I'm writing this it already occurs to me that FXX On Demand doesn't exist yet because they want to maximize revenue from people watching the actual channel or something. Damnit.

Irish Joe posted:No one under 25 should be excited to hear the Spice Girls considering that their first and only hit was released 17 years ago. Anyway, when the gang was discussing if their location was all wrong I wondered for a second if they were going to look for an even more obscure location, but I guess they didn't feel like bringing more attention to the FXX move. It would've probably made the episode too bloated anyway.

WeLandedOnTheMoon! posted:The only moment I didn't enjoy was the burlesque subplot because the scene with Frank and Artemis came out of left field and the plot wasn't given time to develop. I think the whole burlesque subplot was a stab at darker themed shows that win awards for being "deep" when they're really just hosed up and dumb. IE: 24

What's funny is FX has a show just like that in Sons of Anarchy. There are constant rapes and murders, someone's (adult) daughter was set on fire, and just last week there was an elementary school shooting. There's no real point to any of it, either.

I probably should have focused more on this episode. I was doing other things at the time and it just wasn't really keeping my attention. Now that I'm looking at posts about it, I'm starting to catch the jokes I missed and loving them. Should probably watch it again.

Although I was linking it to American Horror story since every other episode involves some sort of bondage gear, amputee sex, or other general deviency.

I thought "dimly lit, tasteful nudity, period costumes, serving martinis" was meant as a dig at Mad Men or Boardwalk Empire. Shows that aren't as huge in terms of ratings but are constant critical darlings (not many people there, but it's won a shitload of awards)

Great episode. Taylor Swift being the soundtrack to Paddy's Pub was so goddamn bizarre and hilarious. Also good to see Artemis again. And by good I mean disturbing like always.

Just chiming in to say that this was one of the funniest episodes of IASIP ever! It was especially funny if you watched some of the Comic-Con 2013 videos where the crew mentioned that they never won any Emmy Awards. IASIP Panel (with special mention for Kaitlin Olson never winning one) Rob & Charlie Interview Kaitlin & Glenn Interview If Kaitlin doesn't win an Emmy this year, I WILL STRANGLE THEM! I WILL STICK MY GODDAMM THUMB THROUGH THEIR EYE!! fake edit: I just came at them... hard..

I'm really loving the idea of Taylor Swift watching that episode and thinking, "Hey they like my song so much they put it in their show that's so great!!!!" and not getting the joke.

I think it might have been more geared towards lampooning shows like Game of Thrones or True Blood, that are full of hosed-up sexual poo poo, but still considered art and awesome (and I say this as a big Game of Thrones fan, mind you, but agree that toning down the needless sex and nudity wouldn't be terrible.)

Like it was not at all even possible to be about anything besides not winning awards I'm not going to even cite any of the parts because it was literally pretty much every part.
