I thought this was a much better episode than last week's. Though once again they just had to say something like, "Hi Jay Glazer. What are you doing here Jay Glazer?"

Well, it looks like Kroll has officially tapped out. The old "weekly check-in via phone/Skype" thing is time-honored TV code for "this cast member is heading for the exit".

I believe it's because The Kroll Show is limiting his availability.

keep your height power thoughts to yourself.

why is it that paul scheer looks better as a woman than a man?

I love that Taco lucked into another million dollars.

This show probably should have cut Kroll when he got his own series. I would cut some of the cast and focus it around Taco's adventures.

With Taco, I am on the fence. But I do agree we do need a little re-shuffling of the the cast.

Same here for the most part.

I thought this episode was another clunker, particularly Jenny and short people. Mark from Cuba was obvious. Andre and the lack of punishment stuff was the most humorous for me.

Was anybody else attracted to Andre dressed as a woman? I'm asking for a friend.

Wow, did that ever suck? They must be thinking just having Seth Rogen on the show makes it automatically funny. No

I chuckled a few times... and drooled over Lizzy Caplan... but yeah, this wasn't all that.

Yay! Another Rafi and Dirty Randy episode! Just what the fans clamored for.

He's not the problem. Without him, Rafi alone is intolerable.

Honestly, this was bad, but it was better than the two episodes that preceded it. I don't know if I'd say the show is running on fumes anymore. It really is just a shell of the first few seasons.

It wasn't an episode of The League, and though wasn't horrible it wasn't that great either as most of the jokes were telegraphed from a mile away. Rafi works much better in small doses amongst the humanoids.

I dislike Rafi, so this was easily worse then the previous two episodes. While the start was mildly amusing because of the deaths, the rest was just crap. I don't get why they bothered doing another episode featuring these two when it seemed obvious the viewers disliked it last time around.

I think I would go crazy watching an entire season of Rafi and his wacky adventures. This episode however had me laughing at several points and was more entertaining than anything I've seen from the main cast in a long time. I was dreading it going in as I knew it was a Rafi episode but it was fairly entertaining. That nurse had great comedic timing, some comedy should snap her up for its cast.

June Diane Raphael - she's part of a rat-pack of comedic talent that includes Paul Scheer (Andre), Adam Scott, Rob Corddry, Martin Starr, Ken Marino, Rob Huebel, and several others. They are responsible for a slew of comedies, most of them very good.

She's also on NTSF:SD:SUV with Scheer, who is her husband.

She's great in Burning Love. (And so is the rest of the cast - highly recommended)

I hated the first Raffi/Dirty Randy episode, this one, I laughed quite a bit.

The blonde nurse made it.
