Ha! The video that clip comes from is a great setup for the pilot episode of the sitcom:
Jennifer Marlowe was not only hyper-competent, she was a very caring person. Unlike The Trumpberg.
Motorboating Rudy Giuliani?
Pass the brain bleach, stat!
I can’t remember what motorboating is (thankfully I guess) but just the thought of gouliani without sexual references requires brain bleach and more.
Rudy can get into a hilarious legal battle over whether the funeral parlor or the sex shop gets the name “Stiffs.” Wacky shenanigans ensue.
In another wacky episode, Amazon misreads Rudy’s order of one bottle of cheap, runny hair dye and delivers one ton of it.
And in a freak accident, the delivery truck crashes into their apartment and spills one ton of hair dye over the boys.
So I actually had a moment of schadenfreude, although it’s more about Republicans in general, so I’ll have to pause the sitcom for a moment.

What got me angry, and schadenfreude-y is the following line:
He [McCarthy] said that it’s up to the conference if the House GOP should consider expelling Gaetz and added he doesn’t “believe the conference will ever heal if there’s no consequences for the action.”
In response, Gaetz shot back.
“Thoughts and prayers to the former speaker as he works through his grief,” Gaetz told CNN.
Which confirms to me, what others have been saying for years, is when a Republican says “Thoughts and Prayers” they are ACTUALLY saying “Sucks to be you, too bad!”. Seeing fellow Republicans troll each other with it though? Schadenfreude.
And now back to our sitcom:
McCarthy appears as a special guest star - promising to help our buddy-comedy partners back in the big leagues, to much rejoicing, only to find out by the end of the episode that he’s been fired, and askes if he can couch-surf for a few days.
MTG as the crazy, stalkery neighbor who is only seen staring in through the windows. Over time, her tapping on the window will get louder and her gesticulations wilder as she tries to get their attention. Maybe halfway through season two, there’s a huge commotion and cops called for a hostage situation that just turns out to be domestic violence with her roommate Boebert. Someone’s going to the hospital, and someone’s going to jail, but which will be which?
Can’t it be jail for both-- hospital optional?
Better yet, the series finale of this proposed sitcom features everybody going to jail-- à la the Seinfeld finale.
That could be A Very Special Episode indeed.
Final shot: they wash it away and Mike and Rudy both appear with fluffy yellow Trump-dos.
That absolutely requires that their hair springs up with a cartoonish “BOY-YOING!” sound effect.
Then there’s the special two-part vacation episode, ‘Return to New York’ featuring trump and Guiliani.
trump shoots someone on 5th Avenue, then shrugs & mugs for the camera, saying “did I do that?!?”
Regular guest appearances by that loony drunken duo, Jeanine Pirro and Kimberly Guilfoyle, a la Ab Fab.
And a Special Guest Appearance by Greta Thunberg as The One Who Knocks.
I see the Kevin McCarthy role as being akin to that of Gil Gunderson. Here is a collection of his best work.
Didn’t somebody on here christen the aborted Chesebro / Powell trial “Chese ‘n’ Crackers”? I don’t know what the plot would be, but we can’t let that title go to waste, maybe an animated show.
I thought it was Cheese & Krakens.
