Forte was pretty engaging as the wastrel wannabe Satanist rock star in Extra Ordinary -- last film I saw in a theater before All This -- so the moment could just be right.

We liked that movie because it was so dumb and unambitious, but not in a typically American dumb and unambitious way. Now, the MacGruber movie, I know it's got its fans, but I remember that being dumb and unambitious in a distinctly American way. And a silly TV skit turned into a silly movie belatedly spun off into a no doubt silly TV show? That seems as American as it gets.

On the other hand, Forte is pretty funny.

I like holes

This and Observe & Report live in a similar place in my heart, since both take a standard action hero plot and amp the lead's cluelessness to hysterical degrees, while keeping the supporting characters' intelligence at standard levels and forcing them to deal with this lunatic.

hits different now

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that the Macgruber show's 2021 season is nominated in the ILX TV poll, with voting ending this weekend:

ILX's Best Television of 2021 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 31, 2022

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!
