Tim on Majority Report today, dumping on Tim Pool idiocy

I can't believe Gregg blew the production budget for Pep Boys: A Baboon Story on the broom from Mrs. Doubtfire

god the look of utter anguish on Joey's face

lmaooo Gregg's gift to Kaili is in an old catheters box

Someone has gone and added Tim and Gregg’s (+ special guest) ratings for each movie in every episode. Cackling scrolling through this

5 Bags, 2 Dirty Acupuncture Needles

4 Bags, 6 Oscars

Finally got off my cheap ass and subbed again, lets go lucky season 14!

IT'S THE KNOCKOUT!

just realized amatocom.com is a real website, lol @ the "guest list" including the Dilbert guy

I know it goes back a ways but I still think the creation of "Special Agent Kington" is one of the shows funniest moments

"we overextended ourselves with our counter service which we provided in over 34 locations..."

Very ominous news at the end of this week's ep lol.

Yep a Chekhov’s gun as it were

Did joey patron botch the hit

uhhhh wow

ever since the G. Amato character was introduced I've been waiting for something like this to happen

This season has been so good

They really excel at introducing new characters with vaguely unplaceable deals, & the soap opera of it all means they burn through comedic premises at an irresponsible rate, and still the core cast is maybe funnier than they’ve ever been: mark, larue, dekkar, joe (who deserves an Emmy or an Oscar whichever is greater). That bit last ep when gregg rinse-chewed the popcorn for ages before launching right into his review fucking murdered me, that’s the kind of T-1000 implacability you only get by being Neil hamburger

Amatocom.com

...."com dot com"

what I love about the cast is that they all seem to come from different backgrounds and skill levels. none of them are really comedic actors. some of them are just basically themselves...the Dekkar guys really are Italian musicians, Joe is just Joe, a lot of the bit characters for the Oscar specials come across like they don't know what's going on - I still don't think the Rat Pack guys really 'got' what OC was about, and I'm pretty sure some insider mentioned that the Tim/"James Dean" confrontation at the end of one was so intense because the James Dean actor thought the real Tim was actually yelling at him

the reason why this works so well is because On Cinema is, at its core, sort of a reality show. I mean we know it's scripted, but the movies are obviously real movies, most actors use their real names and are clearly playing versions of themselves, and the saga plays out across the episodes and various social media things, so it seems way more 'real' than say an episode of The Office. like the ending of this one really did make my jaw drop, which wouldn't happen in a regular comedy where everything is based around punchlines, nor would it in a drama series where you expect dramatic things to happen. but in the OC world it feels just real enough to give you some sort of emotional reaction.

I’ve often thought G. Amato was just an insane old man but now…

its amazing how little is known about Kaili despite her appearing in like 15 episodes now

Definitely tries to keep her distance from Tim and Gregg and the circus around them

gregg trying to bond with her over harry potter is so sad and also hilarious

gregg exchanging his unused extra ticket at the dollar theater really got me

not sure if I’ve seen anything since the Hei Network move. how lost am I likely to be if I go to the cinema for the Oscar special / Amatocon?

well an awful lot has happened but I bet you'd still enjoy it anyway

I think even if you're not completely caught up on everything it's still fun to gawk at this insanely convoluted world they've established. That's more or less how I got into it.

I watched most of the trial and the 5th special before really knowing anything about the series, it's still very funny even if you don't know what's going on

most of the new characters are introduced without much context anyway - i don't think there are any super specific details you need to know to understand what's going on

we may be getting some details on Joey fairly soon though

It’s amazing how this thing has been kept going for 13 years, and always comes up with something new and unexpected. THIS is prestige TV.

I'm still catching up, have just reached the 10th oscar special and couldn't contain my fistbump when Hank Friedman came back on screen to explain the planned expansion of his Tom's Original Chilli business to the minor league team the Rancho Cuacamonga Quakers

oh hell yeah you can see Tim beginning to return to his true self.

I love this saga of Tim being "good" showing how terrible everyone around Tim really is. This special has killed all the romance I previously had in my gregghead-dom. I wanna see this buff stumped!

"oui oui monsieur uhhhhh i was born in chello mississippi"

watching that live was a hell of a trip. cant remember how it went down exactly but I think people had 'discovered' the dashcam footage right as the special was starting which made the live chat go nuts

“What movie were you watching?”

holy shit

The actress who plays Toni is so good.
