Yeah, same for me. We watched the movie immediately after the show and didn't enjoy it as much. Quite the mindfuck to watch them in that order, though.

Judah Friedlander is doing standup at this year's Gathering of the Juggaloes.

Just finished.
It's a lot better than the movie, which I've never been crazy about. The zaniness had a a bit more room to breathe.
Not amazing by any means, but a lot of fun. Lindsay's hilariously dumb storyline was probably my favorite part.

Showalter/Lake Bell/Wain love triangle
Coop look as fat and goofy as possible (that hat, lol)
After four episodes, I agree with you. Still enjoying it but a lot of the humor has fallen flat for me with the occasional bit that gets a laugh out of me.
Still, glad it exists and am hopeful for the remainder of the episodes.

Kind of a bummer that
Obviously they had to accommodate for people's schedules, but it was a pretty conspicuous absence.
Susie wasn't in the last episode.

I watched Ant-Man the other day, afterwards I went to look up how old he is and was blown away. He's like 12 years older than I was expecting. Youngest looking 46-year-old ever (and cutest <3).
What was funny about Michael Cera? I guess I totally missed it.
The only thing that amused me about him was that he's the only one in the entire series who could still convincingly play a teenager, and here he is playing some old hardened lawyer.

listen to the mad man
I took that as a large part of the joke.

Anyone feel weird when writers of shows/movies write a makeout/sex scene with a hot woman and himself?

Talking about Showalter and Lake Bell? The latter has been friends/colleagues with Wain for awhile I believe as she's on Children's Hospital (which Wain co-produces). Also I don't think actors typically think about it that way.
Finally a longer version of Higher and Higher

Fantastic. That's all I've got to say. I just want more.
Are nearly all of these meant to be parodies or sound-a-likes of existing songs?
Brass Muscles sounds a lot like Brass in Pocket by The Pretenders.
Can't Stand Nothing But You sounds like Fox on the Run by Sweet.
Heart Attack Love sounds like Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar
Everybody Does and I Don't have kind of a Blondie sound (Atomic and Rapture come to mind).
I can't really place the others though.

My two favorite lines from the series were:
and
Both were really unexpected and caught me off guard
"I'll fart my way into that snatch. Just watch."
"I'm old enough to take a big fat sheeeiiit on your face."

I dunno actress that plays Abby looks like she's seen some shit. Watching episodes of The State now, if you wanna see an age gap...they look like they just got out of daycare.

Loving everybody else tho. As for the kids I think that redhead bully is having a lot of fun with this lol

Got through all of it, overall I loved it but not as much as the movie.
Some of that comes from I'm guessing schedules from actors interfering with everyone being able to be together often (not as bad as AD season 4 tho), and so it doesn't flow as well. Other comes from extraneous characters that just didn't work.
Pine's rocker in the cabin guy was one (so Bank's storyline was largely meh).
The other was Slattery. I don't know if it was just the character or his acting, but it just did nothing for me and fell flat.

I liked it, I thought they captured very well the feeling of the movie and dividied it up into 8 episodes.
My favorite parts were:
I've seen Elizabeth Banks and Paul Rudd over the years. so it wasn't a shock to see that they haven't aged a lot, but Marguerite Moreau is still beatiful and looks pretty much the same!
My favorite parts were:
Abby scene in the bathroom, just too funny.
The indoor kids cameo was amazing.
Jason Schwartzman driking the waste.
Archer!
Chris Pine story line.
The fact that we got 3 Mad Men actors.

finished up the season. some of the stories/jokes just fell flat for me. specifically, linzey/rockstar storyline got like 0 laughs from me (except when

i wish ken marino had a bigger part. his story/scenes were the highlight. overall pretty good with some highs that matched/exceeded the movie but overall the movie is still king. hopefully they do another season somehow!

I wonder why Marguerite Moreau didn't become a bigger name in Hollywood.
She's gorgeous, and I think she's a solid actor.

Really enjoyed it. They pulled off a worthy prequel
This is probably the worst TV show I've seen on Netflix so far, and I usually love the wacky and weird movie like Napoleon Dynamite. Watched it with my girlfriend who shares the same tastes and we turned it off after 15 minutes of episode one. Absolutely terrible humour with way too much overplayed jokes.

makes sense
Congrats on the Napoleon Dynamite.
15 minutes of the first episode is definitely enough to form an opinion on the entire season.
I'm gonna guess you never watched the movie.

Really wish we could've got JJ back together with Gary and McKinley.
But the Victor and Neil dynamic duo was back so can't complain too much
Also I was surprised that Paul Rudd didn't throw any kids out of the van
And Camp Tiger Claw fell flat for me more than anything else.

Just finished, really glad this exists and that it turned out as successful as it did. Not everything hits and some of the storylines drag a little but there's more funny material for just a movie, so happy it's in this format in the end. Already finding new jokes and bits I missed first time around scrubbing through. Some memorable stuff:
- The scene where Donna gives Coop a shofar and that whole storyline in episode 3. "Wow, that's such an odd way to wrap a present" "that's just, it's easier that way for multiple takes"
- The forgettable counselor with the black hair. They cut to the same shot of him saying "tell us!" three times before JJ tells his spooky Eric story
- Gene and the tomatoes apron. Gail and Gene/Jeff's wedding. Gene, The Falcon and Beth at the end. Gene.
- The cold opens for Rock & Roll World and Associate Professor Newman. I'd watch a Rock & Roll World spinoff show.
- Michael Cera's standing up to the U.S. lawyers. So out of place but oddly funny as Jim Stansel. His "I don't think so" delivery cracks me up
- The payoff at the end of Electro City: "It's the guvna! He says.. execute him!" the crowd's reaction to Andy and Katie nailing the pose, "Electro City is such a cruel place to live"
- Victor humping Neil's ear. Victor and Neil calling Gene. Victor and Rhonda at the party: "What do you do for fun, huh" "You know, like, pretty much... like fucking and stuff like that." Victor.
- "Hey party people in the house, it's me, DJ Ski Mask! Otherwise known as Ben the theater counselor. It's me! Here we go!" "Hi Ben"
- The forgettable counselor with the black hair. They cut to the same shot of him saying "tell us!" three times before JJ tells his spooky Eric story

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
This was the weakest part of the series for me, as well. Chris Pine just isn't funny.
