The only show last night that seemed to capture the true spirit of the holiday was It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Halloween is just a sloppy, drunken mess populated by broken people dressed in slapdash trash costumes and someone gets pregnant. (Oh, and also delightful children engaging in the wonders of the imagination, but I’m talking about Halloween: After Hours.) It is NOT everyone wearing costumes imagined by a team of professional comedy writers and executed by a highly-skilled team of Hollywood production designers, and it is NOT a hilarious adventure. (And as someone who has actually attended a corporate Halloween party in the workplace cafeteria, I can tell you that The Office got a whole LIST of things wrong.) Honestly, Halloween is a lot like New Year’s Eve: intense anticipation with the fully-formed knowledge that there is nothing at the end of that road but disappointment, and yet, the road must be traveled anyway. The difference between Halloween and New Year’s, of course, is that New Year’s at least carries with it the promise of a fresh start, while Halloween is just people dressed as sluts. (If there was only a way to COMBINE THE TWO!) In any case, let’s be safe out there this weekend, you guys. And let’s discuss last night’s television!

If it were my decision, Troy would be shirtless is every episode. Right, ladies? (Also: fellas.)
NO SHIT. Troy shirtless was a highlight of the night.
What is the deal with the guys on this show? “Hey, I’m a nerd. Oops, lost my shirt. I’m a ripped nerd!”
My expectations of nerds’ bodies are now totally unrealistic.
Is Community holding open casting calls anytime soon? I think somebody’s ready for his close-up!
Awwww – the pinup photo without which I would not be a commenter on this site today.
Oh yes more Troy pretty please!
Troy is my shirtless toilet paper sexy Dracula zombie punching nerd boyfriend.
I don’t have anything really concrete to say, other than that last night’s Community was the best episode they have ever done, and also sort of scary? Scary enough to make me shiver my timbers, at least!
“What is up with this cat? IS SOMEONE THROWING IT?”
I COULD not stop laughing DURING that cat scene and that line KILLED it.
Me too. Thursday night belonged to that cat.
Dear GIF Gods,
This Halloween, I request a cat throwing GIF, please!
Wow…ask and you shall receive huh?
I’m worried that this looks like I took a little too much time on it.
what time was it on? because it wasn’t on my dvr! i thought it was on at 8:30 but instead i got some local halloween costume show – which promises to be amazing in its own way – but i cant believe our stupid local news trumped community!
i am the cat. the dog is local news.
TECHNICALLY Shrek trumped Community. It came on immediately after the Shrek halloween special. I’m working on a flux capacitor to make this right for you. It might take a while, but I think I’ve got plenty of time.
these are the things that await you in michigan, facetaco. i’ll be sure to save the click on detroit halloween costume special for you on my dvr.
they were kind enough to show it at 1:36am. Good time slot!
Um, yes! I legitimately had a nightmare last night that I was being chased by zombies in the subway. I blame Community.
I thought it was really funny how Troy thought his Ripley costume would defend himself against the zombies.
I also loved “Okay! Okay! I been bit, ya’ll. Congrats. You did what zombies do.”
HAHAHAHA oh man that shit killed me too. Last night was so good for IASIP.
I’ve been pretty down on Always Sunny since last season, but that moment made it all worth it. I died.
agreed, definitely the highlight
That scene was hilarious. I loved how each scene had Dee progressively turning into a bird
for the record: “browning out”… its public domain now guys!
“…and now let’s go over to Matt Berninger, for his reaction to the latest episode of Outsourced”
“Thanks Matt.”
I wanna do him
I “accidentally” caught ten (TEN!) minutes of Outsourced because I was ironing and I could not be bothered to walk to the remote control, and I will admit that I actually laughed at one joke. (One joke only.) Someone kept suggesting scenarios involving jumping out with a chainsaw, and then confessed that he had already bought a chainsaw. I chuckled. GUILTY, YOUR HONOR.
But then I turned it off because of everything else.
Obligatory upvote for attention paid to one ‘KajusX & Chainsaws.’
I thought Outsourced last night was less racist-y than normal. Except for the part where the white manager guy keeps telling the traditional Indian girl how stupid arranged marriages are.
OR the squatters LINE? Or the RIVER LAUNDRY line?
Also, THE SHOW fucked up big BY TRYING to make the main DOUCHE someone WE IDENTIFY with and “likeable.” If they HAD THROWN a real sumofabitch who WE WERE supposed to actively DISLIKE IN THERE it would work BETTER because THEN they could simultaneously ADDRESS differences WHILE illustrating HOW GETTING caught up IN THOSE differences makes you A CHILDISH asshole.
If that was less racist-y than normal, and that being the only episode I’ve ever watched for more than one minutes past the office ending up, THAT SHOW MUST BE QUITE RACIST-Y.
RACISM IS EVIL!!!!!!!
I am guaranteed to enjoy any show that replaces a character with a for-real-life ostrich in a one-sided conversation of incoherent squawks. It just makes SENSE.
*for-real-life-emu?
**for-real-life-large-flightless-bird.
There. FIXED.

LAST NIGHT MADE ME WISH MY NAME WERE KEVIN
Today, we are all Kevins.
With a beard and a hat, he really does look like Michael Moore.
STOP MAKING FUN OF FAT PEOPLE!
I wanted to give him a hug so bad when Michael made him cry. WHY DO FICTIONAL CHARACTERS MAKE ME EMOTIONABLE?!

“fuck you, gabe”
To anyone WHO DID NOT like last night’s Community, WE CAN no longer be friends.
“OKAY, you bit me. Congrats. You did what zombies do.”
Oh, my bad AnAmPat (even though I’m commenting two days late on this thread). Shoulda scrolled before I hit submit. Upvote though, because I still LOVE that line.
best lines of each show
make me proud, be the first black man to make it to the end, honorary mention to Jeff still cool as a zombie
Best Edward James Olmos costume I’ve ever seen, like freaky good
She incorporated a bun in the lovemaking…she took the dough and rolled it into a ball
I DIDN’T much like LAST night’s Office (SERIOUSLY, could Jim and Pam act any LESS LIKE actual human BEINGS these days?) but CREED was fucking OWNING the hell out OF THAT episode.
Everything needs more Creed! (the man, not the band)
OH? ARE you sure, shoogyboom? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Ft599XBZA
Let me clarify further: the comedian, not the musician.
The Office is actually going to come full circle before it ends. Everyone will hate Jim and Pam and Dwight and Michael will be the MOST sympathetic characters.
Are you saying that in season one everyone hated Jim and Pam? I really don’t think that was ever the case – I see them as very irritating now (NON-STOP PARENT AND MARRIAGE “HUMOUR”).
I definitely see what you are saying about Michael being the focus of our sympathies, however.
CREED’S GOING??
Appropriately, he looks so much like Simon Pegg in this .gif!
Come on people, for the last time, I’m not dressing up as Spiderman! I’m going as Manspider!
Not Thursday related but who is watching Eastbound & Down? Last Sunday’s was one of two funny episodes this season IMO. I want Kenny to go back to the US.
JOBES, if you’re thinking THIS SEASON of Eastbound & Down ISN’T any good then YOU NEED to fuckin UPGRADE your eyeballs FROM JPEGS to motherfucking TIFF files, son cause THAT SHIT is awesome.
^ That was hilarious. But i still feel like it isn’t nearly as quotable as last season. Keep in mind i still like the show very much. However i definitely liked season 1 more. I distinctly remember the episode that ends with them riding the rollercoaster to be more sad than funny.
I am loving season 2 more than season 1. It is terribly depressing while being hilarious. I love pathos and laughs.
it pains me to say it, but have been so disappointed by this season. i get a few chuckles each episode but nothing close to the second-by-second brilliance of season 1.
It still has its moments, like Stevie getting shot, Stevie having an open ended ticket, Kenny’s entrance and first strikeout in Mexico. But those moments were few and far between for a while there.
Is it weird that both actors dressed as Lady Gaga actually looked better than they usually do?
Also: “Welcome to the Liscary” is the best and worst pun I’ve ever, ever seen.
This guy completely wins over Gabe on the Office. (I do not even know who this guy is, and am a huge Office fan but I am admitting it!)
He totally wins…and he wore the lacy tights too. Totally committed to the costume.
Community was great…the Office cold open had me laughing for a good 5 minutes after it was done and The League continues to kill me.
now lets see some Senior Chang gifs….
oh and how did Mondo get robbed? gretchen!!!! NOOO!
You are kidding me?! I didn’t watch yet, and now that I know the truth, I don’t think I will be able to take watching the smug bitch win over my cuddly Mondo.
It was seriously the worst. I fast forwarded through half it and then turned it off the second Gretchen one.
GRETCHEN WON???? This is how I feel about this news:
“Just been proven racist by the RACIST PROVER.”
No doubt. I need one of his “Ya bit? YA BIT???”
IS ANYONE else finding THE LEAGUE to be the SLEEPER hit of THIS season? It’s been SO FUCKING good.
Some great lines on The League last night:
Stephen: “Can I get you something to drink?”
Andre’s Date:”Do you have any ecstasy?”
Ellie: “Is that a Brownie uniform?”
Andre’s Date: “Like a-half of one… that unzips!”
But my favorite was Taco in plainclothes and Stephen in full “Fat Russell Crowe” gladiator garb:
Stephen: “You’re not wearing a costume?”
Taco: “Too scared. Why aren’t you?”
Stephen: “Oh, I didn’t know it was Halloween.”
“five for fighting?! nickelback?! what is it?!”
“You guys don’t like Raggaetron”
“Pandora is awesome. What the hell did you put in there to make it play this?”
“Kesha.”
“this sounds like the pet shop boys raping erasure”
The League is good, it would be great if they stopped letting Taco sing. He consistently ruins the pacing in every episode.
I’m a fan of The League, but last night was a problem for me because:
1. As a former Chicagoan I am sick of being displayed as homophobic (hahaha! Pet Shop Boys!) and incapable of understanding non Judeo Christian faiths (hahaha, WIccan, what’s THAT?).
2. Monkey? Really? Was this Friends?
3. The continued awkward shoehorning of Jonathan Lajoie’s novelty songs (honestly, there is nothing worse than comedy songs; the 2 or 3 exceptions prove the rule beyond a doubt) into the plot line.
4. Kind of a miss for me. It almost seemed to border on My Boys territory. Better luck next week.
Jeb, I’m with you. I’m not fully onboard with The League every week. Then it’s on and I like the episodes as a whole. But it’s not quite all there for me and what I like in a show. There are a lot of pieces, definitely. But the arrangement sometimes is weird to me. Last night had a lot of good lines though, which is what impressed me most with the episode. Some of your points I didn’t even realize were happening in the show.
1. Had no idea that was happening and/or didn’t realize those were slams on Chicagoans.
2. Friends didn’t copyright having a monkey on a show! When it jumped on Taco’s shoulder my first thought was Y: The Last Man, but I didn’t go, “Monkey? Really? Was this Y: The Last Man?”
3. I agree with this point, although I have enjoyed his songs and videos on youtube, which is where I first saw him.
4. Every episode I’ve seen leaves me feeling like there were quite a few near misses along with a plethora triple twenties in the forms of some great lines and deliveries. This show hasn’t hit a bullseye for me yet though. The sum of its parts hasn’t hooked me, but the parts by themselves have added to my LOLk very often.
OK, Community was excellent, but did anyone else forget to fast forward through the commercials and happen to catch the ad for the Women of SNL special? What is going on with Cheri O’Teri? I think someone took her FACE. . . OFF. . .
Yes, I literally screamed when I saw her face. Something like “OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO HER FACE?” “…maybe she’s having an allergic reaction?” hard to break that SNL contract even when your face is covered in bee stings I guess!
I noticed that too. She looks like a completely different person. A person who has gotten a face transplant.
Gabe, I found something that combines SLUTS and FRESH STARTS. I’ll call them up for you.
Ugh. Looking at this logo reminds me of all the custom artwork I had to prepare for them that would get printed onto all the sex lube products the company I worked for made. This is my nightmare!
No hard feelings?
It’s cool. If I hadn’t had worked there I wouldn’t have ever found the custom artwork for something called “Nipple Gloss.” SO you know- there were perks.
Yes, what can I help you with KajusX?
OH. Um.. well, this is embarrassing! I meant, well… uh, I meant that the situation was like a terrible dream to ME. I didn’t mean to call on you, thisismynightmare! I’m so sorry to have wasted your time. I should have been more careful with my wording.
Hey look over there- what’s that?!
*runs away*
Concert_addict gif request: Any scene with Troy shirtless, maybe him climbing up on top of the shelf, OR the cat flying across the dudes’ path a million times.
I got ya:
Troy: “You ARE pretty.”
Shirley: “Abed!”
Jeff: “Cold piss!”
Abed: “I’ll open it.”
Doctor: “Already?”
Britta: “Our penny!”
Annie: “Oprah!”
Oh god. My heart is melting.
I #literally applauded that line. I even almost stood up.
(the “I love you” / “I know” line(s))
Troy + Abed 4ever!
(in a non-fanfictiony kind of way)
I’m gonna add this is if that’s okay
and this
SHIRLEY AND CHANG. SHIRLEY. AND. CHANG.
Sheñor Changley
Troy: “Why did he call ME?”
I FELT like the RACIST PROVER could BE Gabe’s alter-ego.
(JOKES Gabe, LOVE YOU!)
I really like how Mac told his story compared to everyone else. More of that, please.
OK I think I got all the gif requests. Any others?
THANK YOU!
Um…. Angela’s costume on The Office?
Also, anyone else watch the new Parks & Rec promo? I tipped Gabe so hopefully he posts it. I can’t wait for it to come back.
Seinfeld style.
WHAT’S that up THERE? OH IS that your mind? BECAUSE IT’S BLOWN?
Yes! I would pay $15 every week for this
True story I was in vegas a few weeks ago and they offered me $15 to watch an NBC show and tell them what I thought about it. I was really worried it would be Outsourced but luckily it turns out it was the First Ep of this season’s Parks & Rec. Hell I would have paid 15 to watch it but instead they paid me! I held the LOVED IT button down the entire 20 minutes and then told them how much I love amy, adam, nick, aziz, etc.
The only consolation for Party Down being canceled is Adam Scott becoming a regular on Parks and Rec. I have a big nerdy crush on him.
I miss Bones.
But at least Psych is coming back on Nov 10!
Next week, so far away….
Just started power-watching Psych on Netflix and love it.
Makes me wanna change my name to Bruton Gaster.
Or Lavender Gooms. Or Bighead Burton. Or Gus T.T. Showbiz. Or Methuselah Honeysuckle. Or Hummingbird Saltalamacchia. Or Clementine Woolysocks. Or (my personal favorite) Ghee Buttersnaps aka “The Heater”.
I am so frightened that we posted that at the exact same time. Maybe WE are Psych(ic)!
And Guy is spelled Guy, btw.
Yep, “Ghee” Buttersnaps is actually a character on Outsourced.
The extra T is for extra Talent.
That’s so funny! My real name is Guy Buttersnaps (a.k.a. “The Heater”). #season4
Psych is amazing. I can’t decide who is funnier–Shawn or Gus.
Here is my prediction for “The Office”: Darryl is going to take over as manager.
Also, I love “Sunny” flashback episodes when they have to piece together what happened and call in Artemis for help. Remember the “Who Pooped the Bed?” episode? So great.
In related news, I watched “A Quiet Little Marriage” starring and co-written by The Waitress (Charlie and one of the McPoyles are in it too) and would like to nominate it for WMOAT. I should have known better since it’s an IFC film and all IFC films are the worst.
“I did the poop.”
i did all the poops
Community was the best thing since their last Halloween episode. Followed by The League and then IASIP. Like someone else posted, I’ve also been down on IASIP but they’ve been picking up recently. That emu scene was tremendous.
Also, Darryl Philbin will be the next boss…? Just cancel the show already. Or make it all about Andy.
Best bit of Community? When Troy screams “in your face!” and punches Pierce in the ass.
Also, no 30 Rock Halloween? What the what?!
Can we talk about the hellscape that was the Project Runway finale? Seriously, it was the worst.
“I just helped get 2012 back on track!”
Heidi was really great last night. Though when MK was telling her to come out in that polka dot dress if she loved it so much, I wish she would have told Nina to come out in those crocheted granny panties she loved so much.
Seriously. I usually can’t stand Heidi, but last night she and Jessica Simpson were the clear voice of reason! And it seemed Gretchen was really only excited for the money. What a waste.
heidi would have rocked that polka dot dress. and omg jessica simpson. she looked like she was beaten about the face with a steel pipe after hours of painful dental surgery.
I don’t hate Gretchen as much as everyone else does, but this season of PR was a train wreck in general and the fact that she won is further proof. Seriously, everything is black black black, let’s design sad, gray workout clothes, Ivy, just….blarg.

Was Troy’s “I don’t need to know what kind of Dracula I am!” a reference to the “My Name Is Twilight And I Am A Dracula” guy or is there something even bigger than that that has totally gone past me?
And the Winner for…
Jeff Winger, for “Oh snap, the man who went there.”
I hate really hate to be “that nerd guy” guy, but did anyone else while watching Community think “Oh, just set off the sprinklers to lower the temperature and stop the zombies… LIKE IN FRICKIN’ ALIENS!”
isnt that kind of the point? the whole episode was poking fun at zombie/monster movies.
Timothy Olyphant’s handsomeness continues unabated.
It would have been great in the episode if he came to work as Seth Bullock OR Raylan Givens OR Seth Givens OR Raylan Bullock… OR Todd Gaines.
I haven’t read anything anyone wrote, and I don’t want to make any jokes. I just wanted to come on here and say:
My god, Community is a great television show!
Also: I sat through Outsourced last night and I can confirm that even through a whiskey-soaked haze, it is still THE WORST.
I can’t believe no one mentioned how Erin had the best line on the Office last night.
“Two apples! I ate two whole apples!”
Also, VIJJO MORGANSEN!
“Has anyone started calling you Gabewad yet?”
“Not here.”
If someone could PLEASE make a gif with the McPoyles on the couch making sex noises and hand motions, that would be amazing.
Sweet Dee continues to be the funniest woman on television. I say that in full knowledge of the fact that Tina Fey is out there, exists, and actually has a show on the same night as It’s Always Sunny. “And then I was on the toilet so long that my legs fell asleep, so when I tried to stand up I just fell down into my own throwup.” Gold. But Sweet Dee dry heaving – what’s funnier than that?
I’m no Doctor (Octopus), but wouldn’t Man-Spider have a Man logo on his chest?
That threw me for a loop…
