You're The Worst - This Is Just Marketing - Review: Now, Get Out Of My Room

"Why aren't you listening to me? I'm fascinating."


This Is Just Marketing


You're the Worst is most definitely back on track, all our beloved characters make an appearance, and things change quite a bit from last week. Jimmy is still ridiculously optimist about how he and Gretchen left things, at some point, he reads the dedication of the book, clearly having forgotten it was there: "For Gretchen, Thank you for being alone with me.", it was a very sweet moment and it made me really nostalgic for the time they were together, and maybe a little less patient for when they finally get back together.

But mainly during this episode, Jimmy focuses on work, he has a meeting with the marketing department in charge of his book and is disappointed when he sees the cover and realizes they want to sell it as erotica, not literature (I have to agree the cover for his book is just awful). But they tell him he needs all the help he can get to sell his book, and they invite him to a reading, he refuses at first, but then he shows up and eventually starts enjoying the attention of all the horny women.

Gretchen, Lindsay, and Edgar go to babysit Becca and Vernon's baby while they record their podcast, but a guest needs to be replaced so a drunk Gretchen is invited to tell her story. Becca is as annoying as usual, she also has a new gay best friend with whom she breaks into "lock-her-up" chants, so they make sure people never like her, she also seems to be struggling with her life as a mom and talks about fantasies of escaping, just like Vernon used to last season, and in the midst of her ranting she gets Gretchen mad as well, they start talking about all of Jimmy's shortcomings, while Vernon protests that his friends would never do what they tell him he did, and Becca brings up the fair point that Jimmy shouldn't be the one that gets to decide every time.

In the meantime, Lindsay seems to be re-thinking the whole baby thing, she seems to be wanting real love for the first time in her life, but in the end, it turns out she just decides she'll focus only on work for the rest of her life, or so she thinks. Edgar is also having his own personal crisis, he's trying to meet new people, and once again, the writers trick us, they make us think that since he and Lindsay always end up coming back to each other, maybe they will give it a chance, but eventually he just goes to a bar to practice his game, and it really seems to improve.

When Jimmy comes home from the reading, he's startled by Gretchen who's in his bed watching Wheel of Fortune, he asks her what she's doing there and she says she never moved out, that he decided to give her back her things but she had already paid rent and this was still her home, and then she kicks a shocked Jimmy out of "her" room. I, for one, am very glad, not only that Gretchen is fighting back, but also that she's doing it in a way that keeps them both close, everything is just better when these two share a scene.

Best quotes:

"It's making a comeback, like pubes and racism."

"Amazing news, People Magazine read the book and they want to do a profile because a little white girl hasn't been murdered in a while, but that clock is ticking."
