i appreciate this and I agree. There is a lot there about platonic dude friendships. Patriot also in its first ten eps passed the Bechdel Test, which is a low fucking bar.

ahem, fuck you: BP.

if you’ve touched the queen, dearest Agamemnon, you have committed. you must move the queen.

Phil Hartman was in the original stage show, The Pee-Wee Herman Show, which was not a kids show. And he was in the kids’ show.

I know this sounds obvious, and it’s an old meme from Reddit, but you REALLY need to check your home for carbon monoxide.
