My favourite thing about this show is probably how the music score emphasizes all the drama.

ok I think this is my favorite show
I love that's there almost no build-up for laughs, it's just a steady flow and so dense w/ hilarious little mumbled lines or gestures.
Like Frankie doing that two-second rando dance in his "keep off grass" trap...I'm only 5 (10) eps in and already there are too many of these to remember

(^ every half-hour show is two mini-episodes)

I'd seen those YouTube shorts a while back and dug them but did not guess it had the legs for a longer format. It totally does.

It's like Wonko cast some strange spell over me.

i wanna say now that the thread title is a reference to the last episode of the series, which is a sort of crown jewel (though ding dong dasher is a close second)

Bradley Cooper is such a chameleon.

I am going to take your word that there is a better episode than The Handshake
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 21 May 2020 14:08 (four years ago) link
handshake is great! you'll get there.

(also for those with the tech knowhow, the full series is on ILPLEX on 77, title search is your friend)

cory's mock-punching donny in the face is the kind of inexplicable grace note I love abt this show
I guess it's a big year in comedy for carbon monoxide poisoning!
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:30 (four years ago) link
one of my fave bits is that cory always reacts to seeing frankie with the classic passive-aggressive dad "oh i didn't know you were here" greeting
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:38 (four years ago) link
ha yes
I like how Donny consitently follows up his "you know how this my house..?" line with you know how it's like that?

everybody in that group is great but Frankie feels like he could fairly easily make the leap to being a star

this is in my personal pantheon of great shows, I want more

you agree with me about the ending being better than handshake?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 3 June 2020 22:19 (four years ago) link
I think maybe—it's hard, they're all so good! But definitely ending on a high note.

having just gotten into All Gas No Brakes, i'm surprised by the shared aesthetic. Joe Pera is in the same general vicinity. Is there a name for this style? I guess "Abso Lutely chic" is close enough.
