Just because you lob weird tics on a character, it doesn't make him funnier. It actually makes him more grating. I think that Winston wasn't that funny this episode. The puzzle thing smacks of his bizarre approach to pranking that they foisted on him last season. I get that he isn't as instantly funny as the other castmembers, but I always found him funny as a wry observer of the other castmembers and and their inanities (kinda like Seinfeld). Making him go bananas about _________ inexplicably is a lazy way to get laughs. Hopefully they'll figure it out. But otherwise really good start. A lot of set-up for the upcoming season (I did find the Schmidt stuff to be a little too conventionally sitcom-y for this smart show). And it involved heavily what might be my favorite couple on TV, Nick and Jess, and how hilarious their relationship is. More of that please.

I did find Winston to be more bearable this ep, mainly because his comedy was actually coming from a real place (except for the cat thing, which honestly was just awkward for a large part of it). And the Schmidt stuff actually worked for me, inverting the comedic farce thing by having him get away with it but still feel lovely. I do feel bad for CeCe and Elizabeth, this plot has them coming across as total idiots and whose relevance to the show is all about reacting to Schmidt. In particular I miss CeCe's and Jess's relationship, which was always a lot of joy to watch. Don't want to seem like miser, so I'll say that I did laugh a bunch during the ep.

I think this is the best he's been in ages, along with the last episode. Popping up with believable, but hilarious little bits. This is my favorite version of him.

She's been shown to have a deep musical bench. You don't just like music you heard when you were a teenager. Go to your local bar and put Prince in the jukebox, see how many girls get up and dance.

Imagine the fun you could have being sloppy drunk at Denny's with ke$sha or some other age appropriate popstar; imagine the fun you will have taking a post-drunk Denny's poo poo/vomit only to find a passed out ke$sha (or some other age appropriate popstar) in your bathtub. Oh my god this poo poo makes me shiver. Thank god I'm not that young anymore. Also, musicians are like people. They mostly suck. Prince though I plain just find fascinating. Read about the stories swirling around him. It reads like some sort of amoral epic or something. Did you know he started a charismatic evangelical cult for a few years, before he got bored? Like it was a phase?! EDIT: Also phylodox, best posts ever. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Feb 8, 2014 |
