I rated the Hayley Was A Girl Scout? as my fave on the poll because it was the only one whose plot I could remember just from the title alone at the time. Voted Francine as fave character. Mostly the comments I gave were along the lines of "AD can do wacky, completely bizarre stories, as well as everyday stories equally well, and the writers find a good balance between the two extremes most of the time, so keep on doing that."

There was one question and I can't remember exactly how it was phrased, but my answer was something like "this might end up sounding sarcastic but in a season that featured space/time travel and mall ghosts, the show still makes sense" The_Doctor posted:You know it!

Gold Top Nuts was the best. However, since that episode aired I've been hoping to find a can of nuts that size with a gold top so I can buy one but no success so far.

I actually went out and bought myself some cashews the day after that episode aired (because I am highly susceptible to advertising) and specifically tried to find a can of them that had a gold top, but sadly one doesn't seem to exist.

Isn't it based off the original planter's peanut design? The blue base with the bright yellow top?

Huh, I was wondering what happened to Rupert Grint and apparently one of the few non-ron roles he took was Liam (the kid Steve follows after) in Killer Vacation. I really admire the range of actors they get for bit parts.

I really admire the range of actors they get for bit parts. I tried to narrow it down to one favorite but there are just too many. Jane Krakowski as the woman who seduces the boys into flipping her house, Missy Elliott as one of the Stan-Dan Deliver kids, Josh Groban singing Steve's vigil song, Laurie Metcalf as the oology director... edit: Sometimes I feel like I post in this thread too much.

I just noticed Terry Crews in Rubbernecking, but it's an episode I usually skip during the first musical number. Craig Robinson as one of the security guards in Kiss Kiss Cam Cam, too. (Open. The gate.) And I think it's perfectly natural, but then again it's the show I've probably rewatched the most. Little one liners or scenes from the show just pop into my head and I'll just grin like a dumbass. Hell, just now; the bit from the Krampus episode where Santa throws a knife and it hits a wall that turns out to be alive.

A big difference for me is that season-wise, I prefer the first half of Sunny while it's the opposite for AD. Still solid gems in every season though.

FireWorksWell posted:I just noticed Terry Crews in Rubbernecking, but it's an episode I usually skip during the first musical number. I love Rubbernecking so much. The entire town is revealed to be filled with weirdos & pervs, and everyone's totally okay with it. Plus, Steve's Oedipality, which I think if hilarious, is on full display here. The rest of the episode makes enduring the musical numbers worth it (also, Terry Crews as the insurance guy as DMX is pretty drat funny imho). quote:And I think it's perfectly natural, but then again it's the show I've probably rewatched the most.

It's not like I was going to stop anyway.  Nichael posted:It's Always Sunny premiered the same year. IASIP debuted when I lived in Philly, and I'm pretty sure the fact that I didn't like it helped kill one of my friendships.

Odenkirk also voices the pizza bagel guy, the politician who threatens to kill his mistress, the fast food manager whose shoes Stan steals, and the homeless guy trying to watch Stan and Francine have sex in that episode.

The weirdest Bob role was when he played the host of a TV show where you would send in a scale model of your house and he would burn it. Best out there guest star has to be Chris Pine who has been on multiple times.

Klaus really crossed a line there it was a good episode and okay it's very Klaus never ever give Klaus more adjacency than the body a fish will allow. He's a loving monster. But also can you really blame him? Stan did kind of sit on his body until it rotted.

I had met a white dude named Kareem like maybe a month before I saw that episode, so it made me laugh even harder Also, Roger offering to let Jamal keep his spot in exchange for the price of his lessons & getting his soul banished to hell as a result is one of my favorite B-plot endings
