I didn't know that, but I can kind of see it. Huh.

I really could not handle a whole hour of Andy Samberg. I barely handle 10 minute sketches.
You're made of sterner stuff than I; I usually muted the sound when he was onscreen.
Halloween already? Oh, right, October 19th, that would have made sense.
I think I vote thumbs down on that one
I didn't love it. I liked the emotional throughline, I think, but some of the dialog seemed off. And the camera work was different, though they were doing something stylistically so I'm not sure if that's a bug or feature.
I liked Annie's misinterpretation of "ring girl."
And, as much as I hate Pierce, I'm a damn sucker for Pierce and Gilbert's new brotherness.
But those were only a couple of moments in the whole thing, so I was meh on it.
We thought it was way better than the first ep anyway. Still...
Loved seeing Gilbert again! Such a treat.
Eta: I also enjoyed Annie's "If this is supposed to be like that movie where something like this happens..."line, although the "I hate reference humor" didn't need to be there.

Yeah, I honestly don't know whether I'd notice if I didn't know there should be something off, but there was definitely something off. A lot of Jeff and Britta's dialogue, mostly. The jokes didn't land the right way.

Agreed.
