so you should probably ignore anything else I say

Good god, I struggled through most of episode 1 because it either just felt way too forced and not that funny but holy loving poo poo episode 2 was absolutely incredible and some of the best I've seen from him.

I can't wait for next week :allears:

�In 2017 I received countless death threats in connection with my introduction of legislation involving the wearing of masks. The threats escalated to the point that my wife received threatening phone calls concerning her and my children. I was very afraid for my safety and the safety of my entire family.

"Then, on June 14th, a gunman opened fire at members of Congress on a baseball field. I knew people on that field. Now, the fears I already had became more intensified as the reality of my family being targeted by a similar, deranged, would-be assassin became even more possible. I was in such a poor state of mind that my wife and I also undertook marriage counseling with a licensed therapist during this time.

"Sacha Baron Cohen and his associates took advantage of my paralyzing fear that my family would be attacked. In posing as an Israeli Agent, he pretended to offer self-defense exercises. As uncomfortable as I was to participate, I agreed to, understanding that these �techniques� were meant to help me and others fend off what I believed was an inevitable attack.

"My fears were so heightened at that time, I was not thinking clearly nor could I appreciate what I was agreeing to when I participated in his �class.� I was told I would be filmed as a �demonstration video� to teach others the same skills in Israel. Sacha and his crew further lied to me, stating that I would be able to review and have final approval over any footage used.

"I deeply regret the language I used at his request as well as my participation in the �class� in general. If I had not been so distracted by my fears, I never would have agreed to participate in the first place.

�I apologize to my family, friends, and the people of my district for this ridiculously ugly episode. Finally, there are calls for me to resign. I recently lost my primary election, so I will not eligible to hold office next term. Therefore, I will finish the remaining five months at my post and vacate my seat."

"He took advantage of my fears to get me to say these terrible things that I'd certainly never say normally (but managed to do oh-so-easily and have a track record of saying pretty despicable things) I'M THE VICTIM HERE"

I also like the part where he makes it sound like he's resigning from the next term that he didn't win when in reality he's just confirming that he's going to finish out the remainder of the term that he has left because he lost his re-election bid.

Nice.

No way. The subtlety of this episode and the buildup was absolutely incredible. Last episode certainly set the bar in terms of in-your-face style stuffff that owned, this was much more subdued but fantastic in its own way.

The Roy Moore scene was just priceless.

The weakest scene was the rapper and former politician, by far, but everything else was outstanding.

Cops: "We got a calls about suspicious activity here."

Grown man dressed like a 15 year old girl at a quinceanera: "We're unaware."

A weak scene, but that black guy's facial expressions were amazing.

So true, the last freeze frame was priceless.

I loving LOVE this show.
