So what funny shit is gonna fall apart at the main office without glep there? Do you think the Boss is gonna megaclog the toilet and cause an overflow?
Nah I think it's going to be that everyone is going to start killing each other. Glep's greatest contribution is being the voice of reason. Sure, sometimes he goes off and does his own thing like in the Mr. Frog episode but without him in the long term could you imagine Charlie not throttling Allen? I thought not.
So Pim isn't in the group chat? Wouldn't that explain how he fucked up the Brazil trip? How is he supposed to coordinate anything?
Ok but Charlie still told him to do it I don't think that just because you're not in the group chat you get a free pass. In fact maybe this is why you're not in the group chat.
Seeing that clip alone on YouTube shorts got me into the show because I was like "holy shit he's literally me!"

And then I found out he was an alcoholic and a Catholic! I love Charlie, by far my favorite character!
 
Don't want to shit up the thread, just wanted to post this little gem, that I've found while browsing torrents for the episodes.

I'm not mentally prepared to say goodbye to my smiling friends tonight. THEY'RE MINE YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME! :'(
 
It's almost impressive how literally every other title looks like the most uninteresting dogshit imagnable
3 of those instantly speak "Morally Grey Drama slop" and one says Autistic Man and Chairs and the last one is "DURRR FLORIDA MAN"

I hate western entertainment.
 
The IT series is just another example of production studios or networks or especially streaming services grabbing an "intellectual property" and trying to squeeze it dry with prequels, side-quels, sequels, soft reboots, etc. - I guess what we have been seeing with that in the past decade or so is a product of media consolidation and film and TV no longer being culturally important enough to draw in competition, which leads to a lot of hacks who stick to established IPs which have built in audience awareness and try to spin more of a franchise out of them.
 
An excellent end to an excellent series.
First off, having a Jew (the barkeeper / Tomar) pronouncing AD instead of going for CE/BCE was a good little in-joke. Having Glep be some sort of harbinger of destruction was also enjoyable. As someone raised in a nondenominational setting I cringed when they guy started a little prayer circle, but they played it straight and it was funny. The story felt kinda' rushed, the curse of only having 11 minutes to tell a story, but they never wasted a second. The ending, talking about 'that group of people' (you know the one) was the icing on top. Overall a great ending. Not the best of the season but a good note to end on.
 
Honestly? That was the first episode of the show I would classify as undeniably middling. All the jokes felt like retreads of earlier ones that had been done better and it was an inferior character focused episode to the last mr. frog ep. I don't really think we needed a return of the "you're so old guy" outside a background appearance. Not bad by any means, but I really only felt the dining room end was totally fresh. It also felt weaker to the last two Christmas episodes. The prayer circle did get a chuckle out of me for being so sincere, I'm honestly surprised the bartender didn't say something about being jewish.

An excellent end to an excellent series.
There are suppose to be two more episodes this season. They won't be in regular season rotation like the brazil ep though.
