lol I missed the first half of this and tuned in just as everyone was passing out

somebody's going to end up in court again, right? maybe w Greg as co-defendent

Greg's turn to be convicted of murder via negligence

Gregg will pay. He is in big trouble . I am alive

i made the mistake of watching the actual oscar last night so: when will this be streaming somewhere help my family is dying

Axiom arriving was such a perfect callback, I spent 15minutes fully convinced this was how it all ended.

My prediction is that Greg will be arrested for murder with much grandstanding and public moralizing by Tim, but DA Rosetti the Rat will drop charges or engineer an acquittal as a way of getting back at Tim

I really don't see how they do another full trial

I've just finished Mister America and am only five episodes into season 11, so apologies if this is addressed later in the season or the special: do you think are we meant to take at face value Toni's explanation that it was her own decision to acquit Tim? I always assumed he paid a juror off (presumably with Delgado funds or a job offer, hence campaign manager). OTOH, she seems like a Trump voter so could see her genuinely responding to his insanity.

my feeling is that she decided to acquit him and only after the trial did they hook up but i don't think it's clear

it's never cleared up - I assumed the juror payoff as well

my partner and i have spent the last year catching up on this and finished just in time for the special last night. some thoughts:

* we both agree that the funniest thing they've done so far is when gregg showed up in the giant suit at the end of season 1
* the victorville season was the best
* the trial was amazing-- the fly and tim getting gregg to lie under oath re: star trek was incredible
* this is the best comedy of the moment but it's a really hard sell to people. "no no no trust me, it's incredible. but you gotta hang in there for the first 25 episodes"

"here's my ticket stub, i'd like a seat in the front row!" is a close second for funniest thing they've done

do you think are we meant to take at face value Toni's explanation that it was her own decision to acquit Tim? I always assumed he paid a juror off (presumably with Delgado funds or a job offer, hence campaign manager).

hard to imagine Tim could pull something like this off without it getting immediately revealed during the trial. he is not exactly a cunning person. my view of it is that Toni is one of those people who gets really into stuff like QAnon - seems normal on the surface but has beliefs that are totally fucking crazy

i thought it was interesting that she liked Parasite and didn't think it was Chinese psy ops like Tim

Is the whole special up to watch?

my view of it is that Toni is one of those people who gets really into stuff like QAnon - seems normal on the surface but has beliefs that are totally fucking crazy

yeah this is my take too - she presents as normal/competent enough to be Tims liaison to the world as his campaign manager/assistant, but the more time spent listening to her the more clear it becomes that she is a complete mess

I think the fact that Toni was sucked into a prosperity church says a lot - the pastor is (was? lol) a bullshit artist like Tim (though maybe more self aware)

i can't find this year's special on adultswim or on youtube?

I think they said they’re going to try and have it on YouTube in the next day or two

^ that's missing the intro

like the first few minutes - gregg's entrance etc.

Was the car audibly running during the AS stream? I can't really tell from the capture^^

there are faint motor sounds being picked up by mics throughout

my fav thing about that capture is that it keeps the trivia questions intact!!!

I, uhh, was not previously aware of that charming bit of Cuba Gooding Jr trivia

One thing that impressed me were the "Gosford Park"-style multiple conversations going on at once, which I'd imagine is pretty hard to pull off live and they did it more than a few times successfully.

The trivia cards feel very...Neil Hamburger.

out of desperation i started watching that unofficial stream and immediately saw gregg in full jack nicholson joker makeup and i think i have to wait to experience this whole

'Kay, guess I know how I'm wasting my Saturday!

this one was really the biggest shitshow yet

gregg's wedding speech...

*everyone dying of carbon monoxide poisoning*

*"mt btl 2.0" plays*

i also love the way every oscar special somehow extends the chaplin's chili saga

gregg literally taking up all the oxygen in the room

incredible show, but yeh the 2.0 version playing next after the incident is all time
