Roland’s entire shtick as a character reminds me of when David Letterman would find something innocuous funny at the beginning of an episode, and keep on it throughout the night until it became a little funny, then irritating, and finally back to funny again. The only example that comes to mind was when he decided the phrase “shetland pony” was funny and kept mumbling it between segments

that's kind of amazing. was Mutt his real name? I don't see any other reference.

lol, feel like I would've noticed if they'd ever actually said the full name 'Mutt Shitt' on the show. That must've been a fun childhood.

Kind of an unpopular opinion but overall I found this show much more charming than I did funny. So much of the joke writing had highly telegraphed punchlines imo. A bit spoiled on the sharp wit bombardment stylings of say 30 Rock but not sure if cynicism is a sort of prerequisite for that approach, because this show was not cynical.

For me the laughs were less from the writing about more from hilarious line readings & mannerisms

Who votes Jake?!
not to indulge vote shaming, but Jake represented positive attitude towards bisexuality and polyamory and was the hottest character on the show. who votes Roland?!

Ronnie also robbed of higher standing

Probably should have a “best supporting character poll” too so we can give the Ronnies and Twylas more love.

Not a bad idea though I will cop to voting for Bob in this one, even with the main cast eligible!

Jake represented positive attitude towards bisexuality and polyamory
isn't the point of polyamory that everybody knows they're in a poly relationship before they enter into it? because he sure didn't tell David and Stevie, both of whom reluctantly decided to continue with it once they realized what was happening, only for David to feel like he couldn't.
― Looking for Cape Penis house (Neanderthal), Thursday, 31 December 2020 22:06 (three years ago) link
the issue with Jake wasn't so much the poly and more his lack of communication and setting of boundaries as a group. which is why things constantly got awkward
wasn't "at all" the poly I should say
― Looking for Cape Penis house (Neanderthal), Thursday, 31 December 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link
Yes, Jake's lack of communication was atrocious.

isn't the point of polyamory that everybody knows they're in a poly relationship before they enter into it?
i think initially it wasn't a poly relationship but rather "dating 2 people at the same time with both of them knowing" scenario.it was only later when jake asked both if they were interested in becoming a trio.
his lack of communication was part of the comedic device obv

Moira. I’m only on the first season but her commercial for the fruit wine farm had me loling irl.Also liked her line “You know exactly who are, but I don’t know who I am hour to hour” in the episode where she gets her hair done with Rolands wife.
― calstars, Saturday, 9 January 2021 15:00 (three years ago) link
*shudders* Moira is an agent of absolute chaos. Releasing her into any scene is just inviting reality as we know it to completely break down. I recognize that this makes her possibly the most important character for the story to move forward and for all the characters to find the grace and goodness they need but also I hate it.

love the part of Manhunter when Roland shows up in the scene where the FBI is approaching Tooth Fairy's house and loudly asks Will Graham if he can top off the tank in his truck next time he borrows it
