I'm sorry, I just don't understand how Kristen Schaal gets ANY work where you can see her face. She isn't an actress in any sense that I can tell because she literally only ever plays herself, doing her own speaking voice, at shrill or shrieking decibels. Like, I know the kids are all kind of hilariously one note, even 7 years into the show, but the most emotion Louise ever seems to muster is speaking... quietly? She is looks-wise the female equivalent of Jack McBrayer (Kenneth from 30th Rock) and even plays a foil to him in later seasons. Like, I just do not understand how someone that looks and sounds like her is so ubiquitous and prolific when so many more talented and attractive people go unnoticed...

Like Steve Buscemi is breathtakingly talented and has untouchable range despite being circus people ugly... I just don't get why anyone would look at Kristen Schaal and go "Oh yeah, that is the FACE & VOICE of the product I want people to not IMMEDIATELY associate with a hyper-active, whiny, kinda strung out 30 year old woman..."

Just some goon being a weirdo, pay them no mind. Also I would not call Steve Buscemi "circus people ugly", he's not hollywood attractive but he's still a decently normal looking guy, if a bit 'bug-eyed'.

I assure you I am not one of those weird r/incel goons who look at gorgeous hollywood starlets and declare them fat and unnattractive, I'm saying that specifically this woman:


has a goofy face and a silly voice and never really does anything except play silly-faced goofy voiced women and I genuinely don't really get why anyone is into that as much as some people are. Like this is a nice headshot for her promo for Bojack Horseman, I get that she's selling a zany, wack-a-doo persona to make money, but I just do not get what (if any) mass appeal there is, unless it's just fantasizing about their Jhonen-Vasquez cell-shaded monkey-cheese waifu. Like giant nose/teeth/cheeks all at once, its just too much face for me, I guess.

As for Steve, he lived in the town I grew up in in Upstate NY, and every once in a while you'd see him at the grocery store or whatever, and let me tell you, the face you think you know in your mind as Steve Buscemi is literally pounds of make-up and foundation getting him up to movie/TV face. Like yes his eyes are really wet and buggy, but also the entire rest of his face is just like acne scars and creases.

Like this:

is him much closer to the guy that I would see in my town, and this is like 4-5 years after the fact. His car broke down outside of our teen community center and he hung out with us for like 2 hours after school while he waited on triple A. We were all in theater/drama club and it was a VERY BIG DEAL because loving Mr. Pink was just hanging drinking soda and playing Madden while we prattled on and on about our school play (the Crucible).

Kristen Schaal is goofy and kinda cute, but by no means super model pretty. It's not like Hollywoo is raving about her range and casting her as a lead in some big drama. Everyone, including Kristen, knows what she's good at and she sticks to those roles, like basically every other comedian who acts, it's fine. Like most comedians, you either enjoy their schtick or you don't. When was the last time you saw Will Ferrell play a deep, impactful role with a lot of gravitas?

Unironically: Watch 'Stranger Than Fiction', it's sweet and sensitive. It's not Jim Carrey-in-The Majestic levels of ham so maybe light on 'Gravitas' but it's a good film. It's also 11 years old, and it's clear on the DVD commentary that while he loved making this movie, he basically gave it everything he had because he knew he would probably never do another serious-ish role again.

Also, people who were talking bout Teddy's character getting tainted by his stalkery habits... dude, that ship sailed for me years ago in the Bed & Breakfast episode. The image of Teddy, sitting in a chair while his wife fucks a guy in a seal costume... that was way too concrete of an image for me and now I view Teddy through an eternal lens of :gbsmith:

Muta's Mating Dance Rates a 5 on the Muta Scale
I really like when Louise has to deal with the fact that she is growing up and developing human feelings, which she finds gross but unavoidable. Tina and Jimmy Jrs relationship actually existing is also very good. I know there was some worry about the parents and kids storylines not crossing being a problem, but I think when it's like this, as a part of several vignettes, it works. I wasn't crazy about Bob and Linda's though, cause I want things to go Bob's way at least once. And Gene's story was basically just a Gene story, which is usually pretty week.

Watch her on Modern Family. Girls got range.

Only problem I have with this episode was the "Bob forgot to get a gift so had to pretend he had a big surprise then try and do something last minute" trope. Wasn't there another episode this season where the same thing happened?

I don't think it's so much that he forgot to get a gift. He had the exact gift in mind. He just didn't get around to doing it. There was no normal panic around it which is the real trope. He just sort of accepted it and knew Linda really wouldn't mind that he flubbed up.
