Zaphod42 posted:Some episodes I laugh at the whole time and still end up staring at a wall for a few minutes afterwards. poo poo is deep. Rosanne also had some elements of that, in a more 90s Sitcome kind of way. The very first episode ends with John Goodman and Rosanne having a really loud, really hurtful argument with the kids in the next room over completely petty poo poo, and its SUPER real. Then one of their daughters runs in with a nasty gash on her hand and they switch into Team Amazing Parents mode like instantly, fix the wound in nothing flat, and once she's gone the fights over because it just wasn't that important in the grand scheme and they go have dinner.

Roseanne was really fantastic. They did a lot of stuff that was great and real and that nobody else would go near.

Funkmaster General posted:They're doing another Cable episode for season three. Ugh. Well, every show has to have its own Debbie Downer, I suppose. You know, the premise or skit that works great the first time, meh the second time, and probably never corrects course. I guess if you have an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of jars in an infinite lightning storm, sooner or later, a second one will capture some lightning in a jar. Maybe.

It's not that I hated Cable 2. It's just that it was a noticeable step down from Cable 1, and that was with them being self-aware that they'd nailed it the first time and joking that they weren't sure why they were doing it a 2nd time. I compared it to that SNL skit because that's a good example of taking something hilarious and running it into the ground. I'd rather they not do that with Cable, but seeing as how the first three seasons are going to each feature one of these episodes, they're setting a precedent. I'm optimistic, but cautiously so.

Just saw the Simpsons couch gag with Rick and Morty. "Oh, look at the baby one!" It was pretty great. For some reason I feel it was written by the Simpsons team though. Or at least directed by the Simpsons team.

The_Doctor posted:It's Rick & Morty's paintball episodes. The paintball episodes were always vastly different each season, they only followed the idea that stuff suddenly gets a lot more pretend-"serious", then it's a different genre parody. I liked the cable episode, I don't really love them, but they're not bad. I hope the next one they'll bring something novel to it.

Both of the cable episodes have had good stuff aside from what's on the TVs. Even if I don't care for the cable parts, the rest will probably make up for them.

They compared the cable episodes to Treehouse of Horror. Like, it's not something they HAVE to do each season, it's something they GET to do. One of the commentators on that episode was an animator and he said they really love doing them because they are delivered the audio with no direction and get free reign to do whatever wacky poo poo they think fits. Edit: Also Werner Herzog and Keith David both sound like fantastic people to work with. Werner asked for a second take, so he could "get the penis line just right."

Didn't the last season of Roseanne literally not happen, as it was just a fantasy book written by Rosanne after Dan died of a heart attack?

Bob's Burgers has a similar episode for the past three seasons. It's a "the kid's tell stories" anthology episode and IMO it's usually the weakest.

I would be okay if the next Cable episode is just audio of Roiland at a party yelling nonsense for 2 hours. That man is insane and should just be let loose.

I think we shouldn't judge the cable episode before we see it. There's only been two so far, and even though I thought the most ofskits in the second one weren't as good as the skits in the first one the B story about Jerry's penis was amazing.

On the commentary, he said he was completely wasted, and it was the last thing they recorded for the episode. Which is what it felt like, and why it's the best.

Philip Rivers posted:I wonder how many drinks he had before that. Yeah I was gonna say, that feels like the drunkest take on the show yet. Man vs Car and How they're made: Plumbuses both come close but Octopus Man is the most off-take. But I love that R&M totally includes rough takes like that which normal shows would edit.

Okay my favorite detail from the commentary is that when they play Hurt in the end of the finale it was supposed to be a cover with the words dirt and hurt replaced with Squanch.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Holy poo poo that would have been amazing. They also said that in its earliest form the episode was just set on squanch planet (no wedding) and the word squanch appeared in every sentence uttered by every character. The squanchy version of the song makes more sense in that context, although apparently the only thing that held them back from doing it even in the current form of the episode was licensing issues. I would have thought you could cover something like that under fair use by claiming parody, but I guess not.
