    I don't play fantasy football.

    But FX's shows are pretty reliably solid, so I'm excited to check this out. It might be what finally convinces me to get into FF (next year, most likely).

    I probably won't watch, but I do like that Jon Lajoie is involved. He's a funny dude.

    I can't watch at work but am I to understand that someone made an entire show about fantasty football?

    That seems... ill planned.

    First episode titled:

    The Draft.

  • VariableVariable Analrapist InsertmeanywhereRegistered User regular
    2/3 previews of seen while watching It's Always SUnny have made me laugh out loud, and I -think- it airs after It's Always Sunny, so I see no reason not to give it a few weeks and see how it goes.

    I'm afraid I just blue myself

    Football humor continues to be mostly missing, but the show got a lot better. That was pretty funny, and a nice jump from the pilot.

  • VariableVariable Analrapist InsertmeanywhereRegistered User regular
    that was pretty solid, glad I caught it this week. the song was outstanding.

    The songs were the best pieces in both episodes.

  • ElkiElki hegemon globalSuper Moderator, Moderator, ClubPA mod
    It's created, directed, and written by Jeff Schaffer, who cut his teeth over on Curb Your Enthusiasm, where scenes are only loosely scripted and the actors are giving free reign to improvise around a shell of a scene idea.
    That makes sense. In retrospect, the lineage seems obvious.

    I approve of this show.

    The show is pretty funny. They seem to be more comfortable doing a 30-something married guy sit com than a show about sports humor, but at least they are trying. The actors and actresses are all pretty awesome.

    So, essentially The Guild, but slightly less geeky. Or more. I can't really remember where fantasy football and MMO's fall on the geek heirarchy.

    Guess who's back! Tonight at 10:30.

    Pete

    MarkDuplassTheLeague.jpg

    the winner of 3 consecutive Shivas prior to last season, he lost in the Finals to Andre. And got divorced after his wife threw out his lucky draft shirt.(Mark Duplass)


    Ruxin

    THE-LEAGUE-4-550x412.jpg

    the league's perpetual bridesmaid, his failure to get over the hump is getting to his head. (Nick Kroll)

    "If we got a divorce, she would get half of my money, making me ostensibly poor, yet still paying her to just get pounded by other dudes, which will happen because she is still smoking hot, whereas I look like a Nazi propaganda cartoon of a Jew."


    Andre

    paul-scheer.jpg

    the reigning, defending champ. This longtime bottom-feeder and gullible trade-rape victim managed to pull off an improbable run to claim the title and the coveted Shiva last season. (Paul Sheer)

    "I'll have you know this is the very same sweater that Vin Diesel wore in XXX. He's the extreme James Bond."


    Kevin

    370

    his wife actually runs his team for him. (Stephen Rannazzisi)

    "I hate my friends!"


    Taco

    tacoincostumefinalized.jpg

    the non-fantasy fantasy player, has little idea what actually goes on in the league. In fact, seems to be oblivious to pretty much anything but women. (John Lajoie)

    "Three Penis Wine. It's made from the penis of a dog, a deer, and a snake. The deer penis does all the work, the dog penis and snake penis are just there for taste.



    Jenny


    05_Katie_TheLeague-550x487.jpg

    Kevin's wife, she actually runs their team. Very confident in her vagina. (Katie Aselton)

    (on her daughter picking up poop) "She's just going through a phase. I've read about this, it's called 'Fun with Feces'."

  • Namel3ssNamel3ss Registered User regular
    I know very little about football, but I loved this show last season and I have high hopes for tonight. That show where Pete goes on the couples retreat and everyone ends up their and Taco steals all of Kevins stuff after he tries to scare his daughter out of liking Mr. McGiblets. Oh, that was such an awesome episode.

    May the wombat of happiness snuffle through your underbrush.

    I hate football, and fantasy football related activities, but Season 1 of this show was ace. I'll have to find a way to catch the new episodes.

    Jon Lajoie is what made me initially tune in but god damn if this show wasn't just hilarious but it also made me want to start a fantasy football league. Can't wait to see what they've done the second season.

  • jkylefultonjkylefulton Registered User regular
    I like this show, but the actual draft board they show always stretches credibility (Ray Rice as the 13 or 14th pick in the draft? At least read some fantasy rankings, League writers). I guess I need to accept that the fantasy stuff is only a hook for wacky adventures.

    I hope Taco has another adventure in the fake-Barney suit this year.

    I love this show, been watching since the first season. The back-and-forth between all the characters is brilliantly written.

    If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.
  • HadjiQuestHadjiQuest Registered User regular
    I watched last season and the first half was fucking hilarious, but over time it got weaker and weaker so I stopped.

    I am not watching the premier. Is it any good?

  • VariableVariable Analrapist InsertmeanywhereRegistered User regular
    this thread is pathetic

    I vow to talk about this show non stop until we hit at least page 3 in honor of the third season

    still haven't seen all of season two but I'm about to catch the reruns of sunny and this from tonight.

    I'm afraid I just blue myself

    pretty weak episode for half of it, then picked up a little bit towards the end. being "locked out of the draft" makes no sense and I hope they don't pretend it's irreparable
