I know what you mean. How the hell do they even get away with half the jokes on this show? You definitely need a certain kind of humor to appreciate it.
I'm probably in the minority but I really find Jennifer Coolidge way too over the top..... Sophia works okay off Oleg but she's just too loud and obnoxious otherwise. Some of the other scenes are a bit too over acted eg Caroline dancing, which kills the comedy by becoming stupid.
I couldn't agree more about Coolidge and her Sophie character. I never thought she was any good on this show and it would be better if they'd cut her out and give Oleg her screen time. As for the overacting, I can't agree. This sitcom is built on exaggeration and vulgar stupid humor. In this episode alone there were two punchlines about anal sex and the rest were about erections.
I meant in this particular episode there were a few scenes were the 'exaggeration' just went too far... but overall I enjoyed the episode (not counting the Jennifer Coolidge scenes) and I do like the show a lot.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Holy crap, I can't believe the jokes they're allowed to get away with! Holy crap. It was funny, though.
ReplyDeleteGlad I started watching again. This was a good episode.

ReplyDeleteI see what you mean. The performances on 2BG do have a tendency to go overboard like that once in a while.
