But yeah, there are like three funny scenes in Brain Candy and that's one of them. And another one of them is really just like a quick dialogue exchange!

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

I've seen several of Apatow's movies but this is the first time I've ever really heard or read anything that he's said, and he sounds like a jagoff.

yeah as you could infer from my cheeky lil post/image-dump upthread, i've kind of gone out of my way to not watch this show because i'm sure it's some stupid smarmy "I'M EVERY WOMANNNNNNNNNN" </crooning-to-mental-images-of-oprah> thing where privileged daughters of, well, privilege get to go out there and try to make some superficial award-grabbing attempt at putting a ribbon on "the contemporary female experience" or whatever crap you can gleam from a show that's gotten critical acclaim for "providing a look into the lives of REAL women all across america" (you know, as opposed to all those shows about fake women or "tropes", to use a buzzword of the now ((thank you anita sarkeesian)))

so am i wrong in my cynical pre-judgment of this show being being some smarmy crap written by rich girls writing about the treasure trove of untold stories that come from the lives of trust-fund-hipsters in williamsburg? you know, an in depth look at the #FirstWorldProblems that pop up when you're trying to find your place in society with only your insecurities and ample supply of unearned $$$ to guide you through the cold unforgiving "real world" chock full of people who just don't understand your struggle as a Strong Independent Womyn? marco? ......................................you there polo?

I've seen several of Apatow's movies but this is the first time I've ever really heard or read anything that he's said, and he sounds like a jagoff. He thought the question was offensive, sexist, and misogynistic? Are people so unable to defend their actions and opinions these days that they have to resort to using these words, seemingly without knowing what they actually mean, to describe anyone who questions them? His line of questions about the TV critic's girlfriend was nonsensical.

And the producer, Jenni Konner, sounds like a buffoon:

Jenni Konner interrupted her response to another question to add, “I literally was spacing out because I’m in such a rage spiral about that guy,” she said pointing to the question-asker. “I was just looking at him looking at him and going into this rage [over] this idea that you would talk to a woman like that and accuse a woman of showing her body too much. The idea it just makes me sort of sick.”

Rage spiral? Everything isn't an outrage. Simply being critical of something a woman does, does not make one a sexist or a misogynist. The chorus of contrived "Oh my God how DARE YOU!" is disconcerting.

Another media darling/flavor of the month.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

I had this preconception too but if anything I think the show is brutally honest in its treatment of the main characters and how solipsistic they are. That doesn't mean it's for everyone but I think a lot of the generational voice hype is really a product of critics either just not getting the show or trying to make it something that it's not.

I have a well defined hatred of this show though my wife tolerated it enough to watch it so I would while surfing on my phone.

I asked her if she was going to watch this season and she quickly responded "No". She was never a huge fan but her giving up on it is interesting because she probably should be the target demographic of the show.

The Saturday Night Live skit about this show perfectly destroys it.

The show is going into its third year.

- Where's your father?
- He's upstairs masturbating to gay porn.
- Again?

That's just it. That they dressed in drag wasn't meant to be funny in and of itself. They just did it to play more characters.

So is Teen Mom and Honey Boo Boo

I guess even HBO has to have critical-acclaim loss leaders like the commercial networks.

Ugh, Game of Thrones, I don't get it. It's like dragon porn or something.

Don't forget Benny Hill.

British people aren't funny.

The first season of Girls isn't as bad as people made it out to be. Once you realize you're supposed to hate all these people (except maybe Shoshanna, who is totes adorbs), it's much easier to settle into.
