It's so back, you guys!

Epi1 was top 3 worst things I have watched in at least a month.

Yep. That was the highlight. Woof.

CNS, have you seen the original? Are you into absurdist humor? Because if not, I can see why you would think the first episode was terrible.
Have watched all eight episodes, loved every second of it. The knife fight might be the best scene in television (?) history.

Nope
Normally, yes.

I love abstract humor, but WHAS is just so up and down. It's either brilliant, or it's awful. There's no in between.
Episode 1 was okay. I'll keep going.

Look at this clown trying to watch the show without having seen the movie lololololol, yes, good call

I've watched the first two epis and i love it. I smile the entire time i watch it. David Wain does great, great work.
I'd been watching a ton of The State skits over the last week to get ready for it.

Me too, dlew. It's great. I binged on all 8 episodes last night.

It's worse than TD2. 3 epis in, I think we'll stop.

love our wacky

Guys sorry for fanningbragging but they had a premiere in Brooklyn and I went and it was incredible. David Wain handed me a Rice Krispie treat. I didn't even know what to say so I was just like thank you David Wain.
-
That's so Brooklyn Cat!

Lol ya right. It's not even close to as bad as TD2.

Intentional irony.
I meant the individual scenes. The sum total was okay. Some of it was amazing, some of it was boring. Evened out.
-
As someone who has never seen it and just barely heard of it, should I start with the movie?

Ditto here.

Honestly stunned this question keeps getting asked. Yes, people, watch the movie first. At least 50% of the jokes in the TV show are self-referential nods (or winks) to jokes from the movie.
-
Winks are so funny, and such good writing too.

lol @ asking if you should see the original first that serves as the basis for the entire thing. Also lol at diving into the tv show without having seen the movie and then being all, "durr, i don't get it"
-
i was really delighted that the radio kid's origin did NOTHING save him. he's just a bizarre little kid.
and after only seeing the first two episodes, i'm really interested to see how h jon benjamin's character becomes a can of vegetables.
-
Yeah, it's all great. I think maybe we'll keep spoilers out of this thread for like another week since I guess not everybody binged all weekend like me and gfa and apparently wondermeal.

It's a common side effect of the ol' 1-2-3-4.

the wife and I attack shows with vigor

I'm finishing season one of cheers and then it's all Wet Hot, babycakes.
-
The idea of spoilers for this show is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
-
No way. I'd be so pissed if the internet leaked who had been shitting in random swim trunks.

JK, that's revealed in the second epi :D
-

FWIW, I thought things really picked up after the first 3.
But I've seen the movie a billion times and listened to the director's commentary and even the soundtrack with extra farts, so I'm biased.

Reboulet we are brothers
-
I've never seen the movie fwiw.

Also, this show has a real Arrested Development type of feel when you consider the rewards of new jokes you discover upon repeated viewings. However it is different from AD in that the netflix reboot makes me happy instead of sad.

7/8th through WHAS. You'd have to be pretty humorless to not enjoy this yarn.
-
:thumbs:
Spracs, did you know the original source material already, or...?
-
I had given it a once over about 2 years ago. My knowledge was not intimate, but I didn't feel that the lacking diminished my enjoyment. Paul Ruud's sweet 'cycle entrance in ep1 told me all I needed to know.
-
Once you've finished all 8 episodes, do yourself a favor and listen to some of the original music:

"I Am a Wolf"! "Heart Attack Love"! All your faves are here!
-
I had not seen the movie and absolutely loved the tv show. I ended up watching every episode this last weekend while Mrs. Yard Dog was out of town. I'll be giving the movie a shot this weekend then try to convince the lady to watch the show with me so I can see any of the callbacks I missed.
-
I watched the show once and then again with the wife. Wain's work is kind of its own genre for me. Anything remotely like it is done so much worse, it hardly counts.

It's very very good most of the time but even within Wain's catalog, WH is so good that it is leagues above the other stuff iyam. Although Wanderlust was serviceable and The Ten was very good in its own right.

See I thought Wanderlust was really really bad. I liked Role Models much more.
But this Wet Hot series might be my favorite thing he's ever done (Stella included). There are a million dynamite lines.
I've had "champagne eyes" stuck in my head all night.
-
I thought a lot of Wanderlust sucked but Paul Rudd's dirty talking made me LOL IRL really hard

Believe it or not I never watched it. Like maybe I didn't have cable at the time or something? Dunno. Would watch, though.

gal darnit, ski-be. A second ago I was just thinking to myself "man...between guster and weird stadiums and david wain stuff, sb and i really are a lot alike." then you go and say you've never seen stella. :facepalm:
-
seriously though, do yourself a favor and try to find a way to watch the stella show from comedy central. There's only 8 or 10 episodes i think, but they're all that great, clever Wain absurdity. Plus MIB and Show. A few people from the State and Wet Hot make cameos too.
-
I enjoyed Wanderlust. And Role Models was great, too. I honestly didn't know who this Wain guy was, but after reading this thread and thinking about it in the shower, I pretty much Matlock'd that he must have done Role Models, too, before it was mentioned ITT. I think I love his style.
-
Confirmed. He's great. Apparently he did a send-up of rom coms recently called They Came Together that was a commercial flop. Stars Paul Rudd and Amy Poeheohler. Watched the first ten minutes last night and had a lot of that same over-the-top absurdity. Will watch the rest and report back. It's on Netflix streaming and Chris Meloni speaks very highly of it.
-
Now you listen to me mr. Kick-ass. Mr. Rub-ber-bur-ner.
That's all. Gene is such a great character. Carry on, go cats.

There are 10 episodes and they are all goddamned treasures. They can be yours forever for $16: http://www.amazon.com/Stella-Season-Michael-Ian-Black/dp/B000FZETJS (http://www.amazon.com/Stella-Season-Michael-Ian-Black/dp/B000FZETJS)
Their pre-TV short videos are all online: http://www.stellacomedy.com/shorts.html (http://www.stellacomedy.com/shorts.html). "Searching for Santa" is probably the most well-known.

I really liked it. Definitely more absurd than Wanderlust or Role Models

Holy crap. They Came Together is making me ROFL 4 srs

The baseball one is my favorite short.
Will watch TCT tonight.
-
TCT is very funny and only 82 minutes. Which is maybe a bad sign for a comedy, maybe not? For anybody not too familiar withWain/Showalter stuff, just know that this rom com send-up is one hundo percent spoof action.

20 minutes in. Love Paul Ruud's wardrobe choices. I mean, he's no that fat guy who plays that gay guy on that one sitcom, but I appreciate that he's a serial KU rep'r on the big screen.

Loving TCT. Classic Wain.

Her babydaddy running towards the wedding party with the samurai sword over his head had me irl lollerzing
-
what about that scene where all the guys were just hangin' around shootin' hoops in the park? holy crap
-
Swish!
-
If you listen closely when they cut to that scene you can hear the guys chattering in the background while they shoot hoops and they're just saying the word basketball over and over.
-
I loved the board meeting scene where MIB gets denied the big account and the corner office and eventually gets canned and the boss is like "you're gonna lose your license" and MIB is like "huh? License? I'm not licensed..." And then the boss is like "NOW GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!" and black is like "well, I WANT you to change your mind, you just fired me!"
They're just so good at tossing in cliches that don't make any sense and then just obliterating it with like a scintilla of common sense.
-
I tried to watch the movie last night and turned it off after like 15 minutes.
:dunno:
-
Did you turn it off to go do your part eviscerating mommy blogs in the thread I started for you? :crossfingers:
-
Watched WHAS Friday night and then binge watched the netflix episodes saturday night. Loved it. :thumbsup: thanks goEMAW!
-
That's whassup! :thumbs: hehe.
-
Missed the first two episodes, but watched the rest of the season last night... Pretty fun!
-
Uh...8 man? You know you can just watch the episodes on netflix, yeah?
-

Yeah, I know. 8mgf had already watched the first two, and we decided it wasn't particularly essential for me to catch up on the minor plot points from the first two.
-
'Cept for the major twist with Lindsay's character in episode 2 :eek:
I was so happy to hear the crash sound effect made it into the series, btw.
-
that court case segment was absolutely amazing. i'm smiling just thinking about how silly it all was.
-
and to think, everything happened in under 24 hours!
really loved the "15 years younger joke" at the very end.
-
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2016/04/27/netflix_announces_wet_hot_american_summer_10_years_later.html
They're coming back
-
:Woot:
-
It's so back, you guys!
-
What's really weird is I had no idea this was about to drop. Like I guess it wasn't a sneak attack or anything, but somehow I just had not heard at all that it was coming soon. Knew they were kicking around the idea of it but somehow it just evaded my consciousness.
Didn't wanna dive in tonight because it snuck up on me and I wasn't in the right place timing-wise. Gonna dedicate the entirety of tomorrow to watching the entire prequel, movie, and then hopefully the new season. Will probably be a weekend endeavor, though. Can't wait to hear wacky's piping hot takes on how much it sucks even though he's never seen the movie and watched like 2 1/2 episodes of the part that was set 10 years earlier than this new one. :thumbs:
