season nine finale was incredible, from "tom hanks and tom cruise in themla and louise" to the dr. san tribute at the end. goodnight sweet prince. can't believe i'm basically at the trial now

I pretty much have just one Oscar special and one season of Decker (out of order, I know, but it wasn't in the YT playlist) and I'm done. Mister America needs to happen pretty much immediately.

I've been streaming these through the Adult Swim ROKU channel, which means no VR episodes (they literally just run footage of randos in VR gear for the entirety of the episodes) and the Oscar specials. I think there's only the latest Oscar Special up there, for some reason.

lmao at Tim's comment on the 3rd Oscar Special
What I refuse to edit out and now must live with for the rest of my life is my poor, unprofessional behavior throughout the night - I do not like to blame others but I will say that I was under the impression by a man named “Bryan” at Whole Foods in Los Angeles that the champagne marked “Organic” would be non-alcoholic. I also received the all clear from “Maria” at Rite-Aid that Mucinex would be helpful in treating my cold symptoms and that as long as I wasn’t DRINKING it wouldn’t impair my ability to do a great show. I was lied to and deceived by these two and they will pay in their own ways, separately. But, in the end, I’m an adult and must take responsibility for my own actions.

I thought this was a pretty magical distillation of the insanity that is the Annual Live On Cinema at the Cinema Oscar Special:

I've grown so accustomed to my gf coming home, for example, in the midst of that particular DKR performance and being like '...whaaathefuck'. I'm going to miss that almost as much as I will miss the show itself when I'm finally caught up.

This year's Oscar special is, uhhh...kinda nightmarish? Tim's commitment is compelling but it's a little less fun to watch when he seems legitimately unwell. Massive dark lols @ the Living Oscar, though.

Okay, it was all worth it to see what sure looked to me like Prokch breaking during Tim's batshit 'Bohemian Rhapsody' performance.

I found a discussion online the other day where someone was all 'y'know...I'm starting to suspect that these guys don't actually watch these movies' and people were like 'uh yeah, that's kinda the point' and the op was all 'what's even the point of a show about movie reviews where the reviewers don't watch the movies, why are you wasting your time'. Tim and Gregg would be quite pleased, I feel.Watched the K-Strass saga last night before bed. A+ chutzpah, there, Mark. Quite inspiring.

Hadn't heard the old Windows 3.1 startup/'ta-daa!' sound in ages, before it triumphantly sounded after they 'downloaded' and wiped Decker's memories, which had me in stitches.

Yes, a lot of comedians have been exposed as being out of their depth on this stuff in the Trump era but Tim has a great handle on it.
― Chris L, Friday, 2 August 2019 12:56 (five years ago) link
There's a video I can't find right now (I think/assume from Office Hours) where a sad right-wing dude calls in with an agenda and Tim handles him with a calm alacrity I doubt I could muster. He not only gets it, he gets how to confront and dismantle it.

More than in a way- given Tim's (and Vic Berger's) focus on that exact type of person lately I feel most of his character takes direct inspiration. And Decker is straight up an alternate universe where Trump is an even shittier Steven Seagal.

having missed previous Oscar specials I was a little confused about Mark's voice coming from his comatose gold-encrusted body - what exactly was going on there
― Οὖτις, Friday, 2 August 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link
There was a moment during the 'Empty Bottle' reveal where Axiom suddenly looks totally crestfallen and Tim lost a little of his swagger, this subtle and brief but utterly magical moment where Ax seems to recognize that this monster has taken so much more than just his right hand. And then of course everything goes back to normal immediately thereafter.

I didn't "skip" them, they are not streaming on Adult Swim!
I got that he'd been injured/nearly killed, I just didn't understand how his voice was coming out of his body. They had him wired to some contraption...?
