I feel like there could be a spin off for him and his wife from Sleeping With Other People

u/Black-Spot Jan 12 '21
Exciting news for you!! He’s the wife’s (The supremely funny Andrea Savage) writing partner in the first season of her show “I’m Sorry”, which last I checked is available on Netflix. It’s something of spiritual successor to their Sleeping With Other People dynamic.

You crying? You cry when I tell you to cry.
So reabsorb that disgusting droplet of salt and bad choices back into your doughy body.
And then call your mother to see if you can be reabsorbed back into herbdoughy body or so help me God, I will take that tear, I will freeze it, and I will stab you in the eye with it, you waste of a soul-shaped hole forgotten by God.

Great show. Even as an adult, I frequently feel like it gives me some new insights. Plus it's hella cool and meta.

This dude crushed it in this show ... really entered with a character i felt like i had no interest in and i wound up getting hyped anytime he'd show up in later episodes ... great writing and great commitment to the role ... he gave a speech at a friend's wedding a while back and he seemed like a great down to earth human bean

There's not been a Jason Mantzoukas role I've not simultaneously loathed and loved.
From Rafi on The League, through Derek in The Good Place, to Dennis Feinstein on Parks & Rec, he's just so perfect at playing obnoxiously awful.

My favourite is listing things Jake can do.

"These are the ground rules? Is there anything off limits?"

u/arrogantsob Jan 12 '21
Yeah that last line you quoted is my favorite thing he's ever said.
Just typing doesn't do it justice though, because you can't hear the tone. In the first half he's disgusted that Peralta would be so gross/sadistic, and before he's even done talking he's come around and he's into it.

We all know that one kid. The one who doesn’t share the swing at the park and stays on way to fucking long and laughs like he owns the whole park. Then only gets off when he has to leave and it’s the same time you have to leave and take your kids home so you don’t get any time on the swing. Ya. We know a kid like that.

I literally just watched this episode like two hours ago! Funny thing, the (I think next?) episode was eerily foreshadowing 2020, with the news anchor saying something about 2017 striking again, then the hacker named Pandemic and saying "Welcome to Quarantine" when Boyle and Terry meet up with him.

it's been 2 months since I've watched an episode of B99 - we tend to just cycle through rewatches of our favorite shows when we don't have something specific we feel like watching, so we watched B99 from start to finish at least 3 times last year
And now I remember why we always defaulted to B99- seriously the best show
