What Normal People Do

Gretchen makes Jimmy come over to her disaster of an apartment.

Another good one tonight. I'm glad they gave some material to his roommate and her friend to flesh out their characters a little.

This was a great episode. Also really funny to see Outside Dave from New Girl make an appearance

 

[beat]

This show is pretty great. More people should be watching this.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Episode three. Holy film grain Batman. They laid it on real think in this episode. Too much. This isn't Zack Snyder's 300.

And that ending. I clapped 10 times.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Oh god, Gretchen's apartment! And her desktop with folders everywhere and porn viruses! lol

oh yeah and by the way

Spoiler

borderlands isn't a war game

 

[Cornballer]

Oh god, Gretchen's apartment! And her desktop with folders everywhere and porn viruses! lol

I was cringing during that whole sequence. Her place was gross.

 

[beat]

I was cringing during that whole sequence. Her place was gross.

If she could drive, her car would be just like her place.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Lindsay does have a big mouth. wow

And that poor cat probably does miss the books. Gretchen's apartment is filthy.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

This show is pretty great. I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

[RatskyWatsky]

I really like this show

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I really liked the visual creativity with the letterboxing and editing style that happened when our hip crew is being followed by the full-on hipsters.

Very enjoyable once again.

 

[Linius]

Loool, what a transition for Thomas Middleditch. Going from Richard in Silicon Valley to this hipster douche guest role. Really liked the episode :lol

- Andy Greenwald's 'Summer TV Winners and Losers' in praise of You're the Worst:

WINNER: You’re the Worst
WINNER: Chris Geere and Aya Cash
WINNER: Chemistry
WINNER: All of Us

Am I overdoing it? Perhaps. But no comedy in recent memory has filled me with happiness like You’re the Worst. It’s a tart rom-com about two awful people falling into some highly sexualized version of like. But here’s the secret: All that hilarious vinegar is there only to cover the show’s sticky, sweet heart. Chris Geere and Aya Cash, who play the central assholes (Jimmy, an entitled, unpopular British novelist, and Gretchen, a slovenly publicist), pop together like fireworks and, when you strip away the cat stealing, day drinking, and genital spitting, their relationship is really no different from those that have fueled all classic sitcoms: two nonsensical people who make sense only together. Early episodes leaned heavily on the stars — which is fine, their backs are sturdy and their timing tight — but the show has improved as it’s fleshed out the supporting cast, particularly Desmin Borges’s gentle war-vet roommate and Brandon Mychal Smith as Gretchen’s Odd Future–y client. Creator Stephen Falk, who did time in the writers’ rooms of Orange Is the New Black and Weeds, has said he wrote You’re the Worst as a kind of cleansing corrective, to get all the bad mojo of years of sitcom development hell out of his system. But it never feels like a purge. Instead, it’s a bawdy celebration of all the beautiful, stupid, gross, foolish, and fantastic things we’re willing to do for sex, love, and friendship — or, at the very least, for a really good cocktail in the middle of the day.

New episode tonight:

PTSD

Spoiler

In an effort to even out their score, Gretchen and Jimmy engage in a sex arms race after Jimmy sleeps with a celebrity.

 

[Seesaw15]

I'm calling it right now. Greatest first season of a comedy ever. Six episodes in and not a bad one in the bunch. The leads are fantastic and they've even managed to make the wacky sidekicks human. Really happy with the show hope FX doesn't pull a Terriers on this one(I don't know how its doing ratings wise).

Little Rusty Venture cameo tonight... always nice to see Urbaniak pop up in live-action!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Another great one this week. Gretchen's friend is hilarious.

 

[Cornballer]

Just watched last week and tonight's episode back to back - the show is killing right now. Hilarious and oddly poignant.

By the way, the brief snippet of a track at the end is Curtain Call by Steel Phantoms.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Please get renewed.... Please get renewed.... Please get renewed.....

 

[woodchuck]

Really enjoying this show. The leads have great chemistry together.

And there's something really hot about her the married best friend

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Please get renewed.... Please get renewed.... Please get renewed.....

I'm really hoping. Stuff is damn good. I haven't seen anything quite like this show.

 

[MisterFalcon]

Showing the trail of destroyed lives left by Gretchen and Jimmy was a great way of making you want them to be together for the safety of the general public. And their great chemistry.

Also Becca = Korra. Mind blown.

 

[TripOpt55]

Great episode. I was going to ask about the track at the end, but Cornballer has already delivered!

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Caught up with the show and I like it. It has some faults, but its pretty fun and the main chick is cute.

 

[Cornballer]

- Promo for tomorrow's episode

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

Equally Dead Inside

Spoiler

Jimmy opens up emotionally which freaks Gretchen out.

 

[chris121580]

Can't wait! Caught up on all the episodes over the week. Absolutely love it. The debate of Ferris Bueller was genius

 

[Cornballer]

"I think women are intimidated by me because I have mean cartoon eyebrows."

"One time I was at a rave, and I stared at a strobe light so long that I forgot how to whistle."

Another good one tonight.

[metsallica]

That threesome scene was kind of too realistic... and amazing.

 

[Dan]

"I’m an adult male in my thirties, so yeah"

The cut to the cardboard Sandra Bernhard during the threesome was fantastic.

This show has grown on me, although I'm still frequently thrown off by the often exaggerated acting and staging, and loose continuity (in editing, not plot). And sometimes it's terrifying, like that Sunday Funday episode, which was funny, but oh god, I recognize those people as existing in real life.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Good episode. I can't get enough of Lindsay.

"One time I was at a rave, and I stared at a strobe light so long that I forgot how to whistle."

lol

 

[Colonel Nasty]

"He's never had a threesome you know?"

"Whaa, did he never go to middle school?"

 

[MisterFalcon]

Another good one, loved the 'Lost Cat' sign in the bookstore.

 

[Xevren]

I love this show, I hope it gets renewed.

 

[beat]

Any other Community fans watching this show? I really feel like the two leads on YTW are like what would happen if Jeff and Britta got together.

 

[chris121580]

Such a good episode. We need a screen cap of Jimmy's smile during the threesome

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Such a good episode. We need a screen cap of Jimmy's smile during the threesome

His smile made me laugh.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I love this show

 

[Linius]

Haha, that smile was so good.

WHAT?! The joke is on you

Any other Community fans watching this show? I really feel like the two leads on YTW are like what would happen if Jeff and Brittany got together.

I can see what you mean yeah. They were going over relationships the same way.

 

[chris121580]

I love this show

Haha yes! That last smile was amazing
