Come On, You Guys Have Made Out With People Weirder Than Me

This week in the Willamette Week, I take a look at TBS' "My Boys," which is low-key, predictable, and completely watchable. It's not groundbreaking, but it is oddly comforting.

P.S. If I were a superhero, I would be Captain Douchebag.

P.P.S. This is somewhat unrelated, but always appropriate:

i love Friends... more than some of my real-life friends. it's sad, kind-of.

have you listened to that elvis costello album yet? at least check out the track with lucinda on it.

and yes, i will keep randomly commenting about listening to elvis costello until you give in or tell me to F off.

That is my favorite scene of my favorite episode of Friends.

"What was Monica's nickname as a field hockey goalie?"
"Big fat goalie!"

Never fails to crack me up.

Thanks for posting this scene. Friends ages well, n'est pas? "Ms. Chanandeler Bong." haha.

If you were Captain Douchebag the staff of Pajiba would have to stage a super douchebag intervention and perhaps write letters about how you've let us down with your douchey douchebaggery. My letter might go something like this: "LOOK AT YOUR BELT!"

Wow. I watched that whole thing. That's a funny one.

I have great love for My Boys, which, yes, does not break the sitcom mold, but which is just so damn AFFABLE. I like spending time with those people very much. The board game tournament was a great moment indeed. And of course, the trivia contest on Friends was one of the funniest bits ever in the history of TV. Absolutely classic.
