I like how all the synopsis always lists Taco at the end, and it always sounds like the best part of the show.

According to IMDB (cast-related spoiler):

Spoiler:
Rafi (Jason Mantzoukas) will be appearing in tonight's episode.


Interestingly, this actor will also have a recurring role in the upcoming third season of Parks And Recreation.

This one was pretty ridiculous, but still hilarious.

Yeah, this one was probably the most unrealistic, but whatever, non-stop laughs.

Andre on the witness stand with his guns, trying to holster them, lol.

Ruxin getting Pete to admit on the stand that Kevin and Jenny were in cahoots.

The scene where Taco was posing as Andre drew him and everything that transpired afterward, haha.

Great episode. Once again The League trumps Sunny. It's like Sunny lost it's edge and The League took it.

Loved how he got him on the stand under oath to interrogate him about collusion.

Andre did everything they didn't want him to.

Holy shit. I thought the court sketch artist looked like Alia Shawcat (Maebe from Arrested Development) and it was her. Wow. She gained some weight.

That's who that was. I knew I recognized her from something.

Yeah, and the shorter haircut does her no favors.

Great episode. I loved the wife's reaction when he had the glasses on.

Maeby's not looking so good these days. Hilarious episode though, thought it was better than Sunny. Loved how Andre morphed into a child molester.

This better get renewed for a third season. I didn't realize the ratings are actually, on average, a little lower this year. (A lot lower on the late October eps)

The Herdsman. "Vinegar strokes". The origin of the Shiva blast.

Great episode. Too bad more people aren't watching - I'll bet a lot of people would love it if they just gave it a chance.

Re: The League -- Season 2 -- Thurs. @ 10:30 on FX

The main problem this show has is that people assume it's only about Fantasy Football and that if you aren't into sports you won't understand or enjoy it. Obviously we all know that couldn't be further from the truth, but it's a tough sell.

Man I love this show. It's Always Sunny started off rocky this season but has really picked up here at the end, but The League is still consistently funnier. I can't hold it against Sunny though, as it's been on a lot longer than The League.

---

Taco videotaping himself having sex in Andre's apartment was hilarious. I loved the exchange that followed...

Andre: "I can't believe you did all this!"
Taco: "I know, I'm just as upset as you are."

Kevin: "Maybe she was talking about the vest?"

Ruxin constantly commenting on how hot his wife was and the not-so-subtle gloating was great. That guy's reaction to Sofia was priceless. I thought it was great how he walks up to Andre and said, "You're Andre, right? Super successful plastic surgeon with one ball?" Andre running around trying to convince everyone that the one testicle thing was a lie, and then them doubting whether he was actually a successful plastic surgeon just as Kevin planned, haha.

The return of Shiva and the origin of the Shiva Blast! I loved the callback to Eskimo Brothers.

Taco ducking out from behind the balloons to follow Ruxin and Sofia. Him filming Ruxin and trying to get him to look straight into the camera

Nice to see Martin Starr in the episode as well. I love how Pete just couldn't let it go, even when there was a great job offer on the table.

Kevin: "The bigger question is where did you get the used condom?"
Pete: "I made it."

I agree. I actually have taken to watching this show FIRST before Sunny.

Kevin: Wow, you guys look like you're going to the opera.
Ruxin: And you guys look like you work at Fuddruckers.

Your point about thinking the show is entirely about fantasy football is well taken. That's what *I* thought it was about too. I don't know how I accidentally started watching it last season. I have shown an episode to friends on demand blindly who were like "What IS this show?!?!" It really needed better marketing.

Yeah - I usually watch this Thursday night. I don't get to Sunny until Friday. The Fuddruckers line was great. Vinegar strokes.

I love this show. I'll miss Philly nowadays but I never miss this show. The put downs are fantastic and the guys seem like they are really friends. Wish I had friends that were this funny. Mine suck at put downs.

I was gonna post the same thing. I even had a friend who was really into college football ask if he needs to be into fantasy football to appreciate the show. People assume it's a niche show for fantasy fanatics.

This show has really shot to the top of my list, it's one of the freshest and flat out hilarious comedies on TV right now. I love how all the characters have their turns for taking and giving shit, even Andre gets some great zingers in every episode.
