My Name is Earl -- Feb 2

Adam Goldberg is awesome!

My lust for Joy grows and grows!

“BOYS, get Mama’s plastic stripper shoes out of your Lego box!”

“You look at my breasts when we’re talkin’ about 'em!”

My love for Darnell grows and grows- he’s freaking adorable.

Tinkle? What does he call pooplies? :smiley:

The matter of fact and deadpan way he walked into the pool to drown himself had me laughing way too loudly.

I hope Adam Goldberg becomes another recurring character.

“I still don’t like him”
“I don’t either Randy”

Nice ending. :smiley:

“Joy is married.”

“Yeah, but she’s always yellin’ at her husband. I can tell she’s not happy.”

“That is Joy happy. She’s just a bitch.”

Me too. Head Cases was cancelled too soon.

“I found a blanket we can all three sit under.” Heh.

They’re all adorable, really. They have the charms (and faults) you’d normally expect to find in toddlers.

Except for Catalina, I guess. She’s that other flavour of adorable. The friction kind.

Catalina: “Excuse me! I’m hot!”

Filo:“You’re OK, but compared to my girl, you look like one of those things from Lord of the Rings that crawl out of the ground and attack the castle.”

Catalina: “This uniform is not flattering. You should see me in jeans and a bra.”

Randy: “Ewoks. Those things are called Ewoks.”

“You’re wearing underwear again.”

This show is just getting better and better.

There was an article in the Times today about how Fox passed on it, despite Garcia’s bugging them to the point of obnoxiousness, because their salesmen didn’t think Earl watchers would be in the market for BMWs. NBC took it out of desperation.

Heh.

Randy trying to convince Earl to leave Adam Goldberg in the road.

“I can’t watch him die.”
“We won’t have to. We’ll get in the car. If we hear a thud and a scream it’s none of our business.”
“We can’t just walk away.”
“We can run. C’mon, we’ll make it a race.”

And the classic: “It feels like blood is rushing in and out of my heart.”

And: “That’s a lot of Classy Ass. I bet even the President doesn’t have that much.”

The whole carpet thing was funny.

He was vaccuuming it to get dirt off it (“I should have bought brown”) just to go lay under it to kill himself.

But, the grey perfectly matched the road. I thought it was funny anyway.

(does anyone else think the guy playing darnell is a pretty weak actor?)

This week’s hidden high-definition audience in-joke:

When Earl was at the bar talking to Darnell (just after deciding to help Filo) the draft pull handle was labelled “HD Draft”.

No, he just happened to be cleaning it when Earl and Randy showed up. When he found out that god hadn’t been intervening to save his life when he was trying to kill himself in the car, he realized he was “supposed” to be dead, so then went and tried to kill himself with the carpet.

I’m trying to define the humour of this show…the scenes of Philo trying to kill himself with carbon monoxide poisoning and the car kept running out of gas because Earl and Randy were stealing it had me screaming. (Gas eats through plastic, by the way.) It’s almost like a horror humour, that you’re not laughing at something funny, but something stupidly awful.

I told my dad about this show…I hoped he watched last night.

And the bathroom was disgusting. I can’t believe Darnell and Joy wanted to do it in the stall. Ick ick ick.

What was funny to me was that I just watched Adam Goldberg in The Hebrew Hammer and was wondering how this guy who could hardly be more upper middle class Jewish in his demeanor could play a redneck (I hadn’t seen his earlier appearance). I left thinking “Why isn’t Adam Goldberg a household name? The guy’s awesome (and his underwear scenes in Hammer are pretty awesome too)”.

Don’t worry… the carpet will protect him!
