this week's Rescue Me is fun
Thanks for mentioning that -t. I've been meaning to say how I thought that Shiny Happy Denis Leary was simultaneously one of the funniest and creepiest things I've ever seen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good lord. I am freezing and bored and I thought I'd do some filing (that's when you know it's bad), but I can't get into the office with the file cabinets. BAH.

I thought for sure that the fall through the floor was going to snap him out of it somehow, but noooo. Heh.

I'm still getting the giggles when I think about Tommy doing "the passenger" to Mike's (Probie's) "driver" in that silly dance. And I'm with you guys on uppers!Tommy. Creee peee.

Oh, I was sure that that was the something horrible that happens when you're happy, even if it's chemically induced, and he'd be in a coma. That show keeps surprising me.

Oh, I was sure that that was the
Yes, and instead it validated how he was feeling.
I also loved how Tommy just casually told his pal "Oh yeah, it was the goofballs." It's doubly funny because I can't hear "goofballs" with thinking of Chief Wiggum talking about Flanders on THE SIMPSONS.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
However, the Jerk-O-Meter also could be set up to test the voice on the other end of the line. Then it could send the tester such reports as: "This person is acting like a jerk. Do you want to hang up?"
The telemarketers better plan to add a "Quick—hang up! This person is formulating a plan to kill you even as you speak!" option if they want to properly reflect the experience of waking me up on a Saturday with a phone service offer.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think it's always pretty fucking funny, but not having seen Tuesday's yet, I still agree it's totally hitting its stride. If I get obsessed with it, will that be "Rescue Me likes carrots, asshole!"?
