And so funny.
I thought for sure that the fall through the floor was going to snap him out of it somehow, but noooo. Heh.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Rescue Me:
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

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!"?

Yes, but only because something with the word "fuck" in it (fuckwad, fuckstick, etc.) is about the only language that FX ISN'T letting them get away with.
Signed,
Still just about does a noser every time I think of the "twunt" discussion.

Yeah, about that. I was watching something on... TNT, FX?... the other night. I can't remember the name of the show, though it wasn't Rescue Me, because I'd remember Dennis Leary. A gritty "we fight crime" thing. Anyway, I swear I heard "shit" a couple of times. Is this new? Used to only hear that on the pay cable stations, right? Or have I just been out of touch?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
"Shit" is still mostly off-limits, but not on all shows. The Shield, on FX, has a lot of cursing (it's rated TV-M for that reason).
Funniest thing evar: watchign a VH-1 retrospective on South Part, where they discuss the episode about saying "shit", but neither the animated characters nor the VH-1 talking heads are allowed to say the word. It was a whole discussion about bleep.
