This Week at the Comedy Cellar (2018)
Great show, captures the Cellar Experience
I hadn't heard of this show until I was actually at the Cellar and had to sign a waiver. It was interesting because it was clear the comedians each had to put in extra work to develop brand new material in hopes that it would make it for the show. Not every joke works, but this show edits it in a great way to keep the good material and keep it connected, with off-stage comedian conversations over drinks to introduce topics.
If you like quality stand up, you'll love this show. There is so much amazing talent out there.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Rascals (1992)
Admittedly fun, but so silly
Even though I give this episode a pretty sour rating, I still have to admit that I enjoy watching it. It has some good moments. Ferengi: "I'm not stupid, HUMAN". Rike: "No, of course not." Well, the funny is in the delivery.
I think what bothers me most about this episode though isn't even how silly it is that a transporter malfunction caused 4 people to materialize as adolescents (and where the hell did that "energy field" come from that caused it?) But the thing is, this is what everybody has dreamed of for centuries. A fountain of youth. They would be able to simple grow again into adults. Chief O'Brian has discovered immortality, and all they can do is fret as if their lives are over and look for a "cure" to this problem.
Troy does mention that this "could be considered a gift". Yeah, no kidding. It's not like they have a terminal disease. All they get is a replay of youth without losing any of the memory or skills they've acquired.
And that's maybe the most fun thing about this episode, is makes you imagine how you would react given the same opportunity. And I wouldn't react like they did. (Well, maybe Guinan)
