Good improv is like good SA posting. You see someone hilarious and you're like, "I can do that!" So you spend all this money ($10) to chase your dream in L.A./NYC (the internet) but then you end up saying an artform that takes talented people decades to master is super easy. Next thing you know, you're STILL working at Starbucks and wondering if acting in a lovely web series (FYAD) well into your late 30s is worth it.

Portlandia sucks now (from what I hear), BB is cancelled, CBB is losing Reggie. It's over for you, you no longer have cred. Pack it up and show Cops reruns.

That was so goddamned funny. I couldn't look at the screen when George gave the reason for his dismissal, I was laughing so hard. Also quite honoured to have eaten at the diner where they came up with the concept for too much tuna. Pretty sure it was a goon suggestion too. I was sadly not prantked that day though.

Patton saying that the 1946 Beauty and the Beast was directed by Renoir, not Cocteau, made me turn off this episode and throw my laptop out the window, what a pity.

The idea of a late 90's The Day the Clown Cried remake starring Chevy Chase is something I never knew I wanted. I could even see a studio dumb enough to greenlight it especially after the critical acclaim that Robert Benigni's Life is Beautiful got.
