This episode nearly reached the level of comedy.

Someone must like me up there. First the return of Hot Dog and now a new Andy Daly character? Fantastic.

[NotBettyWhite 137]

Hmmm... I see the three shows that are not Portland on the Ticketmaster site. Anyone know the dealio?

[winterteeth 1]

I say, that Robert Odenkirk is quite the aggressive fellow vis a vis his questioning style. Didn't know if I was at a Rugby match or listening to one of your American podcasts, right wot?

[wheelchair girl 34]

I am outraged by the myopic attention span of the show. As if the royal baby is the center of the universe. The whole thing reminds me of the opening theme of the Teletubbies where that baby is portrayed as the sun and the center of the solar system. You cannot hypnotize me, sun-baby.

 

My issues with babies are well documented and highly publicized as the result of a debilitating babysitting accident I suffered in my teens so I now always remain seated at all times. However, I would be very interested in this "royal baby" considering that I am the top toddler pageant talent scout in the world and I see enormous potential to sway the judges opinions if the baby already has a royal title. I like to think of myself as a "baby whisperer", or kind of like a "baby talker", and also very insincere and super sarcastic, but babies understand this tone of voice, and they know where my pain comes from and that is why they call it "baby talk".

 

Whenever I interact with babies I hear voices very similar to the "Look Whose Talking" movies and it is usually

quite delightful and watchable like that popular movie franchise, but every now and then a baby will talk to

me like Tony Danza from the "Baby Talk" sitcom based on the "Look Whose Talking" movies, and I just start to feel

like, this baby is not funny and is not going to make me laugh, and the whole concept of a talking baby starts to

get real old, real fast. and also, Justin Beiber always sings about babies which is also a baby joke.....and then me and Beiber start a movei franchise called three men and a baby, and then we mix our crazy womanizing lifestyle with the comedy of all the women who cannot cope with their new lives as single moms, and then the credits roll on a freeze frame of a baby underwater swimming after a dollar bill.

It's a boy! Man, I hope it's Beetle Bailey the First!

Suuuuuper disappointed that Scott didn't steer the conversation towards Byron Denniston's planned suicide.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

Suuuuuper disappointed that Scott didn't steer the conversation towards Byron Denniston's planned suicide.

 

Or, failing that, some connection between Byron's dark wizardry and Chip Gardner's Satanic cult.

 

The whole development of the conversation/ interview between Scott & Bob and Byron was really great (explaining the American "funny papers" was my favorite part), and I had no idea where it was going.

[Andrea Streeter 110]

This baby is gonna have like 7 middle names. Why can't one of them be Dilbert?!

[JacobCrites 4977]

I can't express what a joy this episode was. Daly is absolutely genius here--how he manages to stay so quick on his feet while completely committing to each characters' distinct mannerisms and ways of speaking is beyond amazing. But Odenkirk nearly stole the show here with his enthusiasm. His past appearances have been pretty low key, but he seemed really jazzed here.
