I like how they're showing so little of this guy they're setting up to be some post-apocalyptic badass that the reveal can't help but to be that he's some horrible fat nerd or something.

I wonder how long it'll take for TV Tropes to add this to the Hoist by His Own Petard page? Because this is the most spectacular example of it I've seen in a long time.

And the orgasm announcement! Love it.

BTW... every single Todd I've ever known has been an idiot. And I've known, like, three Todds.

Of course new guy is hitting it off with the girl. Of course. Those idiot Todds I know? Up to their ears in pussy.

(And my favorite part of Shawshank Redemption is the part where Shawshank is redeemed, too. I don't know why they gave him those funny looks.)

Todd is the perfect storm in every possible way. The thing that makes it even sweeter is it's all Phil's doing.

Phil is the Chinese finger trap of shenanigans. The harder he tries, the worse off he is.

Two more episodes next week, which both makes me happy (I think TLMOE actually works better with two episodes back to back) but also nervous (because it means that, yeah, Fox is burning it off).

Something something brightest light something fastest.

As much as I find Phil incredibly unlikable, I don't really like the apparent message that he has to stick with this marriage that he was forced into because of the sanctity of said sham marriage. He's unlikable because he wouldn't leave Melissa alone when she clearly wasn't feeling it and he tried to cut down Todd, but the through-line of his relationship with Carol being so important doesn't sit right with me.

It's because Simpsons and whatever the 4th show that isn't Family Guy on Sundays is are repeats again next week.

LMoE is the 4th show.
Bob's is in the 7:30 death slot and B99 is probably in repeats too(or Simpsons and FG repeats score better than any of the former two)

That was so drat good. They way they'd cue the sad piano music every time Todd told a super depressing story was amazing, doubly so with Phil zinging tennis balls by in the background. When he yelled out "Let!" I lost it.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
The first half hour was really awkward because I knew based on the fireworks that Todd was going to show up before they had sex. So I kept hoping they'd just get his reveal over with so the show could move on. The second episode was pretty good.

Really glad that Phil finally got to talk one-on-one with Melissa in a realistic manner so she could let him down gently, because although Phil just kept digging that hole deeper and deeper, it was wearing kind of thin on me.

Still, drat good show. The addition of Todd is great. Really hope it gets renewed and they're not just burning off episodes :ohdear:

I meant that I only know Simpsons, Family Guy and this. Making B99 the 4th. I forgot that was on Sundays.

I dunno, that was kinda really gross to watch with Phil being a tremendous rear end, and I usually have a high tolerance for poo poo like this. I guess the last minute save was okay but I don't think he deserved it.

I guess this show always needs one character to be an insane unlikable horrible rear end? First it was Carol, but when Melissa showed up it switched to Phil. Now that Phil did his confession and got shot down, I'm assuming next episode he'll go back to normal we discover that Melissa is a child rapist and anti-vaccination activist?

I think the forced saccharine ending really hurt this episode- if after all of carols little sappy speech Phil look at her and went "I want a divorce" it would've been a lot more comedically resonant

As it stands it's Phil being a creepy shithead for 20 minutes than magically learning how to not be in the final two

Except he didn't learn that.

I don't think I've ever gone off a show quicker, the first 3 episodes were superb and then it just turned into the story of an utterly irredeemable oval office puling some kind of sub Jonny Bravo act.

The last 3 episodes have been just horrible.

Clearly you're all able to overlook that but I don't think I can which is a shame because from the first 3 I want to love this so much.

This. And I don't for a second believe anything from the last 4 minutes of the episode, I'm just assuming it's another scam.
