I wanted to comment Thursday night while watching the show, but was pretty much in awe by how on point this thread was. I didn't want to return and jinx it. I want royalties. I'll be happy with 7 points on DVD sales and syndication. I'm not greedy.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa0C5Uxpd3c"]YYZ - Rush ( Neil Peart Drum Solo ) - YouTube[/ame] I don't know how many times I've watched this over the past week.
Ok, I think lots of people would have gotten the Graduate ending. But the Laverne & Shirley bit? How old do they think the audience is?
Adam Reed shows tend to reference a lot of obscure or older things. In Frisky Dingo, there's some great bits involving Fred Dryer. In Sealab, there's a vending machine referencing jazz musicians.
OK... I missed the Laverne & Shirley bit. What was it? And for random hilarity, I loved the Ray/Pam exchange: "You're sleeping with him, aren't you?" "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...yeah...."
At the shooting range, Lana shot an "L" into the target in the style of the "L" that Laverne always wears:
A whorediot. Love the Star Wars and X-Men/LOTR references. I'm going to miss this show, season 4 can't come soon enough.
I think there exists some level of doucheiness where it stops being funny and starts being frustrating and Sterling came pretty close at the ending there. But they had Pam in battle armor. And mankind has never, ever, drawn anything as hot as that.
That reminds me that I need to get around to watching the Season Two DVD extra where Archer wakes up looking like Jon Benjamin.
