That was kinda meh. The sketch with the Trump guys went on way too long. I did lose my poo poo at them all pretending to have sex with the Trump dummy though and the two guys giving compliments to each other.

The OJ sketch wasn’t that great since he wasn’t really biting.

I’ll miss this show and would like to see more if he can get away with it still. At least I hope we can see cut stuff someday.

I thought that was great the whole way through. The gangbang they did with the dummy was :stonklol: as hell and that guy apparently believing he had successfully killed a member of antifa was... something!

The fakeout with the ending credits makes me hope that this being the last episode is also a fakeout and next week the Palin episode is going to appear out of nowhere at 10:15.

I don't think this has registered for some people yet, that one dude thought he actually killed someone he just had a face-to-face conversation with. All because he didn't agree with their political ideologies.

I could see what he was going for with OJ but he wasn't biting

He said "You shot two people!" hoping that OJ would correct him and say "actually I stabbed two people"

That was pretty drat scary. Cohen did yet another great job showing how people will do absurd and evil things if they think they’re following someone with authority.

The Antifa segment was good, the rest was meh.

OJ wasn't biting in the slightest so it was just the character saving off colour stuff while he was in the room.

The show peaked with the Georgia representative in one of the earlier episode.

I kind of got the sense Glenn wasn't all there after that. Him not being able to remember which liberal he murdered later was pretty messed up too

The show definitely peaked early with Dick Cheney and the Georgia state rep whose name I can't remember, but I enjoyed it to the end. Maybe I'm pettier than some of you but I'm fine with segments like the OJ segment where it was less about tripping up the mark (though kudos for his attempt with "you shot two people!") and more about dunking on bad people to their face for several uncomfortable minutes

Yeah none of the Truthbrary poo poo really worked. Everything good on this show came from Erran Morad or Gio.

Not all of Gio's segments worked but the same can be said of Dr Nira, imo. They were both pretty hit or miss, I just found the Gio character funnier on the whole than Nira.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Nothing beat the town hall segment for me. In a lot of the other scenes it felt like he had to lead people too much into saying something terrible while the town hall comments were just racists being racist, albeit with a hilariously over the top setup.

Yeah the Town Hall segment was great and peak Nira for me. Though I loved every time he mentioned the Yurt in which his family dwelled.

I LOVED that. When he was saying he sterilized the tube (not the needle), so it should be fine! Didn't want any discrepancies, so we used the same needle.
His scientific method is so beautifully hosed up

The whole season felt like it was leading up to the Antifa segment honestly. Getting a wildly racist person to actually commit "murder" in a way that would make Derren Brown blush. Granted it's very different to push a button than to do it in person but he still did it and he did it on camera. It's loving wild.
