Hate Pit Continued

[Itslikeimsayin]

It's a great show! Now examine his work since that high point. And I will argue to my dying day that show was great because of Rip Torn, despite Jeffrey Tambor, and I am just barely to the good side on Shandling himself.

Okay, good. I thought on air you said he hadn't done anything good since 1990, and I sincerely thought somehow you'd never heard of The Larry Sanders Show.

Wait... whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut? Dave put Jeffrey Tambor in the hate pit? I was still reeling from the fact that you put Rod Stewart in the hate pit! Have you seen a little show called Arrested Development? Jeffrey Tambor is delightful, especially as the evil twin! You're nuts, Dave.

[Sarah]

I'm so sour and ill-tempered these days, I'm throwing myself in my own hate pit.  It's much more efficient than throwing in everything I'm currently hating.

Hank Kingsley is pretty much the greatest tv character of all time.   If anyone deserves to walk around like "made men" it's the firm of Shandling, Torn and Tambor. 

Also, what has Shandling even done that's so terrible in the last nine years?  A couple of forgettable movies?  At least he didn't shove them down America's throat.

Shandling was very funny earlier this year on Home Box Office's Real Time with Bill Maher.

Exactly.  Along with some other recent funny appearances. 

YOU NEED TO TAKE A PAGE FROM HAVERCHUCK, DAVE!

[Grilled Cheese and Shandling]

(P.S. to echo one of the YouTube commenters, good thing Garry got his teeth fixed).

That Haverchuck sequence -- and "Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers" in general -- is Apatow's crowning achievement. 

[Laurie]

I can't view youtube videos at work, but I'm going to assume this is the prank call clip in which Haverchuck calls Coach Biff a Butt Patter and directs him to go sniff a jock strap.

It's the sequence where Bill comes home from school and makes himself a grilled cheese sandwich and laughs hysterically (with a mouthful of said sandwich) at Garry Shandling's stand-up comedy before his mom comes home from work.

Okay, that makes more sense.

Tambor's not in my hate pit. It's just Shandling, Rod, J-Lo, and several sets of Differential Equations and Calc III test papers.

I'm throwing SathingTron into my "I don't want to preach - oops too late" pit.

Nah, I said "I don't want to SOUND PREACHY". There is a subtle yet important difference. I actually did want to preach.

BETH. I forgot to post the animated avatar size Blingee that you may use if you wish:
