Man, Magnitude was kind of heart-breaking.
I'm going to have to dedicate some rewatches to reading the blackboard.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They almost took Magnitude's pop-pop! That was a surprisingly potent threat.

Man, Magnitude was kind of heart-breaking.
I'm adopting one of his potential but rejected catchphrases: "Schneep! Schneep!"

Not in MY backyard!
That was Emmett's favorite.
Also, I gotta say New Girl has been KILLING it this season, especially over the last three or four episodes. Just a show that seems to have hit its sweet spot. Very funny, memorable and quotable every episode.

Kazak the giant dog is my new favorite character on Archer. I hope he sticks around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope Archer gets a new tattoo.

I agree, Hec, the last few New Girls have been very funny.

I was a little distracted watching Archer because JZ took a class with the guy how is the Number One Hollywood Voiceover Person For Animal Noises, and he taught her how to properly do a dog panting. And it was exactly the way Kazak was doing it.
(Side note: Laraine Newman is the Number One Hollywood Voiceover Person for doing baby cries. That's her gig.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not the Number One guy (I'm pretty sure that is Dee Bradley Baker), but definitely a very good one -- he grew up in a small town in Iowa (or possibly another one of the vowel states) and used to entertain himself on his way home from school by picking a field or backyard that had animals wandering around within earshot, and then practicing their sounds until he hit the one that made everyone on the other side of the fence stop grazing or pecking, lift their heads and look around to see who was missing. And his greatest moment of triumph came the day he did a lost, hungry calf so well that a whole field of usually placid dairy cows looked up anxiously at once.
He was also really good at ineffectual grownups (he claimed that he and his wife could afford a kid and a house pretty much solely on the basis of his ability to yell, "Hey, you kids, you keep out of there!" and then sound like he'd just fallen in a hole or walked into a closed door or taken a frying pan to the head), and had a technique he called The Oscar Winning Drippy Nose.
But his panting dog was genius, it's true.
