Didace,

What is it I'm wrong about? That Dom is being dumb for not realizing he's posting a spoiler? That Dom is posting a spoiler? Something else?

Fabian,


Without getting into the whole concept of lolspoilers, and given that I only reviewed the most recent (at least I think it was) incident, what Dom posted was not a spoiler.

Spoilers... yea because this **** is Infinity War...

The Mork and Mindy Project...

Checks cleared all the same though

I'm not sure that 2p2ers were the target audience

For what it's worth, I remember thinking it was pretty funny the first two seasons, and then it really went south.

I like this guy - compliments the part I was around for and says it was crap after I had no influence (FWIW I never had very much influence)

I like Greg’s point that it’s not really targeted at the 2+2 (or OOT) crowd.

Full disclosure I enjoy that it’s a running joke in OOT because it very much fits in the theme of my actual life. Which is to say it’s not the first time in my adult life that I was grateful for where I was (the pay, working with people you’ve seen on TV or work you’ve watched like directors and show runners) but it was far from where I was shooting for. For example I’ve been rejected by SNL 6 times, I was told basically “thanks but no thanks” by my writing idols (the creators of Arrested Development) after they optioned my episode spec.

So I know I’m no gift to comedy but those that liked me enough to give me a chance I’m very grateful for. Having said that I’m also grateful that you guys help remind me to keep trying to do better whether that’s in writing or in business.

Note: I only kept submitting for SNL b/c I was hoping one of those times would be a slow/off year and I would sneak into the writers room. I got the clue after year 3 that I either wasn’t good enough or wasn’t what they were looking for.

I’m gonna stop talking about myself, I messed around and looked up and found myself tip toeing way too close to mbabs “making it all about me” land

Take your turn Nat. I'd enjoy hearing a bit about yourself and I'm pretty sure you'd keep the magic to less than 5%

I agree with rexx. Not even close to the line and interesting to boot.

lol

Tuma,

That was the most mbabs thing I said and also probably 100% false lol

You’re fine, Nat. Cue LKJ to tell me how bad my judgment is.

It appears that one of my zingers landed.

That said, I echo Howard and the rest that Nat's posting here was fine, and I might enjoy reading more.

Based on what I've seen (not much) of SNL the past decade, they haven't really been looking to hire funny writers.

even tho he’s a consummate dunce, nat still has some good stories to tell.

I would flip it and say that Nat is a fine poster who has the ability to lapse into instances of bad posting.

Nat, why did you fire Amanda Setton? Shauna was way better than any of the other secondary characters.

LKJ -- That's fair and accurately weighted.

Shows like Californication and Entourage have been featured programs in my life. Does Natamus see himself as more of a Hank Moody or a Runkle? I think an oot ama could be pretty good.

I think he's more like Vince's girlfriend from season 7

I would say you’re both right depending on the situation and time. I think I’m at my best in small doses or when I don’t feel some sort attachment to an issue (I’m better with mbabs than OGbabs imo).

Tuma’s position is plenty valid if you replace dunce with douche. There’s no doubt I’ve had legit periods of douche to unbearable douche.

I figure in oot we all have moments where we make each other cringe - it’s how you post the other 80-90% that matters. There are some threads I cringe at Tuma and some I love his opinions in but I try to treat each moment on its own merit because overall I see Tuma as +poster

I’m more Moody than Runkle - I’ve even been in a now going on 8+ year relationship without getting married (no kid tho). The drinking, self-loathing and talent for not staying in one job in Hollywood long. My rep at APA was the perfect Runkle clone - Jewish, bald at 35, hyper optimistic and eventually fired for accepting a blowjob from a desk girl


This reference went over my head and I was dedicated entourage fan. It’s been about 3-4 years since I saw an episode though.

ETA: was that the Sasha Grey storyline if so very LOL nice work Greg
