I always took Charlie and Zoey's relationship as if theyre both kinda annoyed with eachother but have been together so long they dont really end it. Zoey is some average woman, Charlie is a late 20s balding guy that lives in a shitty apartment, calls into work to play a new videogame, gets too drunk and makes an ass of himself, and doesnt seem to make a lot of money. Theyre realistic fictional
characters, I dont know why anyone gets so wrapped up in them. Redditor man

You had me in the first half
 
This was another great season overall. I know people are probably getting tired of the small talk gag but I think it adds to the show. Most shows always have to have constant ear grating dialogue but for this I think it fits well. They're just some regular dudes in an office that go around and make people smile.

It's probably late for this but I did want to talk about the Mr. Frog episode. I think it's a fitting end for the character. He spent his whole life conquering and destroying everything in front of him and achieved world domination. Him giving it up in the end because he's bored, while predictable still lands because of the way the showrunners handled it. I also think on any other show when his father started chastising him and telling him he's a piece of shit for not being there when his mother died he probably would have flipped out and beat his father to death. I'm glad they didn't do that. I hope this is his final appearance to be honest. They probably couldn't and shouldn't do anything else with him.

Glep is also proven to just be the guy that keeps everyone else out of trouble and while he doesn't appear to do anything on the surface, he's pretty much the fourth wheel that fits with the rest of the crew minus the Boss. It's foreshadowed pretty often that without him, shit would hit the fan. In the first episode of the season when the office starts to roll away he is the one to stop it and save everyone.

This show still has a lot of steam left. I hope Season 4 is just as good.
 
Rotoscope Dude from the party is a sleeper character on par with DJ Spit.

Also the complaints that the 11-minute format is too short is baffling to me, it seems perfect for the amount of story in each episode.

Space Jam was the shit to children that liked Looney Tunes and Basketball. Was it a perfect movie? No, but it came out in a perfect time
The soundtrack alone introduced me to R Kelly, B-Real, Method Man, the sound track was perfect for a kid to feel like an NBA all star.

Also the director apparently told Nathan Lane he was too gay for the role given to Wayne Knight so that's pretty cool.

The sequel was genuinely amazing, scouring the ruins of neo-new-york in the cyberpocalypse, brasting down gatdam animal people, bball monsters and seeing Michael Jordan going rogue. Peak vidcon gaming.

Space Jam 2 was NOT and NEVER will be canon.

I do not get the millenial reverence for Space Jam. The original was shit made to glorify a degenerate gambler who should have been barred for life from the NBA, and the sequel was just more of the same slop.

Space Jam is in the weird category of films that I remember not liking it much on first viewing but only getting better afterwards, especially with how peak late 90's it was.

I remember the video game was pretty fun too
 
IT's a shame we won't get Space Jam Gaiden 2. The first movie is a time-capsule of the 90s, for good and bad. It also has Lola Bunny, which was a furry bait like the Robin Hod fox of the 70s.
The second one was utter trash and had that blatantly untrue idea that bad 3d = better than 2d, which I bet is related to that idea of "kill the old" that it's all the rage lately. But hey, now we won't have a third one anytime soon. Success?
Actually, what happens to the Looney Tunes now? Will Bugs Bunny become an actual tranny?

I was the biggest critic of this in the second season but they fixed it up and it flowed a lot better in this season, not lingering too much. It was more how Charlie would drone on and glaze people for no reason that I got bored with, I really like that they fleshed out the characters way more in this one so you could get genuinely invested rather than redditors extrapolating from nothing. They still left a fair few things open to your imagination too which I liked more than slowly spelling it out.

OOT: there is some mad lad who is currently porting the kickstarter demo of Barkley 2 into Godot, meaning there is a non-zero chance it might get finished up.

Flashgitz posted a SpaceKing video with Zach Hadel voicing the nose related main character.

From scrolling the credits there are at least 80 people who directly worked on it, which seems wild for an animated YouTube Christmas episode. Animation and video quality definitely reflects that.

I think everyone familiar with Zach instantly recognized his iconic nasal voice.

Also, someone had made crossover fan art of the two cartoons just days before that episode. What a coincidence!

Rotoscoping can be done well in a serious style. Jin Roh The Wolf Brigade is entirely rotoscoped and is a classic.

But Jin Roh wasn't rotoscoped? Production I.G has always done very detailed, realistic animation.


The Director of Jin-Roh, Hiroyuki Okiura animated the Helicopter attack scene in Patlabor 2: The Movie.
