You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

That's how I feel about Tim & Eric. I usually change the channel unless John C Reilly is on.

PSA: according to Comcast, the first episode of season 4 of Robot Chicken is repeating tonight. It was really funny and I know a lot of people missed it the first time.

Ooh. Thanks -t. I'm one who missed it, and I was wondering what they were going to do after the season 3 finale (which made me think the show had been cancelled).

Just started catching up on Better off Ted and am delighted. Of course it'll probably be canceled soon, but Portia de Rossi's character is a hoot.

It's a gem. I love the little promotional bits.

I really love Jonathan Slavin -- he was in the Andy Richter show in a similar role, IIRC.

Yeah, he's one of my That Guys that I always enjoy.

"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

Portia was hilarious keeping Ted's daughter around so people wouldn't get emotional in her office. And teaching her to fire employees!

I am neutral on Slavin's character except when he's interacting with his lab buddy.

The woman who's hounding Ted to have an office affair with her can't go away soon enough to suit me, though.

Really? I don't need for her to get with Ted, but I love her stealing creamer and throwing stuff (that people won't be knowingly eating) at her monitor. "We're not supposed to do this. They even sent around a memo. It's what gave me the idea."

Matt, you scared me for a second, thought I'd missed Better Off Ted. Or that you were posting from the future.
