this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My sister indtroduced me to Bob's Burgers, an animated comedy on Fox. Now, i dislike fox as much as the next liberary Whedonista, but it's hysterical. The first episode was a little offputting, but it grew on me like Portland moss with Kristin Schaal's dulcit voice.

Sweet Jesus, we LOVE this show. Did I not pimp it here? Maybe just Facebook. For the first few episodes I was just in it for the kids (especially Louise, who is AWESOME, and I have -- very seriously -- started looking for a bunny-ear hat of my own), but around the taxicab/Tina's birthday party episode, I realized I love them all. Even the mom with her annoying voice.

That show is twisted as hell and funny as fuck. I expected it to be cancelled by now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I guess we should note that the lead on Archer, H. John Benjamin, is also on Bob's Burgers.

Also, I somehow have a song about ecstasy by H. John Benjamin. (You know, the song that goes, "This is so fucking great!" with the background singers chirping "This. Is. So fucking. Great.")

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I like to play that song at the F2Fs. It's fucking great!

I am a non-cable-having cheap-ass. However, I hear there are these nifty things called DVDs, so perhaps we should check them out.

He also did Home Movies on Cartoon Network back in the day (for all "back in the day" values of >5-ish years), which I loved. But man, Bob's Burgers is FUCKED UP. It is pleasing to me.

Archer is the funniest thing in the world right now. So...get it.

No. Is it funnier than Archer?

Time for a cross show challenge! Winner? Us!

I'll have to check out the DVDs to compare. And you watch Bob's Burgers to compare.

Andrew Jackson would have loved this kind of duel.

Okay, maybe not.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Andrew Jackson would have loved any kind of duel, as long as it cut into time not spent duelling, his least favourite category.

"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

Maybe it's due to having recently lost a cousin to cancer, but most of Archer just fell flat to me. Though I did laugh at the sight gags with the X-rays.
