Certainly, none of that will come back to bite him in the rear end in a horrible manner. No sir.

Four episodes in and Forrest's dad isn't dead yet, but has lost two houses. I wonder how much worse life will get for him before the end of the season. I feel like killing him anytime soon would be way too easy so the show is going to have to be inventive. Also, Lennon Parham with an RPG was hilarious. She was great in this episode. And James Urbaniak continues to wreak havoc with just a few words.

I love the little throwaway jokes they put in there, like how the guy was interested in a cult because he was starting a Crossfit gym or last week's episode where Mrs Greenwood states that the kid who wanted to sleep with her was super creepy.

Don’t shoot the orange hulk! He’s a good boy! Andy Daly and the writers of this show should get all the awards if the rest of the season keeps up this kind of quality.

I like that not once did Forrest ever call her something other than Mrs. Greenfield, even when talking directly to her.

Daly mentioned in an interview that the "perfect body" was absolute hell to wear because it was a full body thing that went all the way up to his neck.

He knows what he's doing and he knows what the show actually is, essentially what we know it to be, and I sorta wonder if that'll ever come to light for Forrest. Granted Forrest's very nature pretty much means it won't unless he overhears Grant talking about it but I doubt that'd happen.

I hope next episode has both MacNeils living in Forrest's office, unless his dad has a third house somewhere.

NowonSA posted:Any way you slice it, those vetoes are going to have a hilarious payoff. I'm hoping for a review request to come in that's so horrible that Forrest literally runs immediately to the veto booth in response. Bonus points if his reaction is to something seemingly innocuous or not that difficult, so we can learn a bit about some weird trauma from his past. I'm starting to feel like it's going to be the latter. We've seen that Forrest will do almost anything, and he's already so low that I can't see him being too concerned unless it's something ridiculous (What's it like to commit Patricide?). So it'd be great for something to come up like "What's it like to own a pet spider" and see Forrest immediately hit one of the vetos. Or something like "What's it like to do <something insurmountably boring>" where he would have learned a skill from doing it that turns out would have been extremely useful in the next Review. Also I don't think "Commit Suicide" would be considered a valid review by Grant. As he told Forrest in the "Quit" Review, if he quits Review, he can't review quitting. If he commits suicide, he can't review it. Illinois Smith posted:One person comes to mind AJ is my second favorite character on the show. Her reactions add SO much.

In a nutshell, the best thing about Forrest is that he did the silicone muscle implants before even considering steroids, apparently. I loved this so much.

If he commits suicide, he can't review it. He could merely attempt suicide. Slit his wrists "across the street" and call his father in the room to call for help or something. Super doubtful they'd go that route at all. If I could ask him to Review something it'd probably be "What's it like to pay off a lot of debt?" like say 50,000~100,000 worth. Checking wikipedia next episode is fishing and sleeping in a haunted house. The possibilities for either of those going horribly wrong feels pretty great. Edit: Also wiki reminded me about "All there is aching" which was great and makes me want to rewatch the first season now. Brightman fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Aug 21, 2015 |

I think we need to keep a tally of how many lives Forrest has ruined (and will ruin) over the course of the show. On a related note, his father is probably my favorite character on this show.

Discovered this show just this weekend and have watched everything up to the latest episode already. It's incredible. The way they've presented this amazingly dark comedy in such an earnest manner is wonderful and hilarious. It would have been funny if the reviews were self contained, but the ongoing story takes it to another level. There are so many details and callbacks (the poop guy in the mental home in "There all is aching" holy poo poo) it really rewards repeat viewings, and the gradual reveal of things like the producer manipulating Forrest in the pursuit of footage is great. Was a bit worried about season 2 because the first was so good but it starts off with a bang and has just got more nuts as it goes on. Pretty much wet myself when he hulked out, dropped trow and then watched his Dad's second house get blown up. And yeah calling her "Mrs Greenfield" never stopped being funny. It's genius and everyone should be watching.
