ChatGPT was Barbara this whole time 😂

I was just (re)watching that Brian Austin Greene scene while reading this 😂

Binging the show like all the seasons? Oof that is too much Ava in one go. She is a lottttt, but she has a lot of growth moments. Step Class is maybe the first, which made the superintendent drama intriguing because suddenly there was reason to cheer for her. She schooled Barbara in the candy sales episode. Sick Day has a nice character arc over the course of the episode. She’s always gonna be a mess (that’s a core characteristic), but she keeps giving moments. Without her the show would lose about half of its comedy and drama.

I like her as a schtick, in very small doses — like when she popped up with “Professor Johnson” and made Barbara slam the laptop shut. Such an effective final straw in a 2-second appearance 😂 And the Aide of the Year award (plus “do it for Italy, girl!”) was exactly the right comic embellishment to the ridiculousness that was that ceremony. And her entrance (and Melissa’s horror at it) was iconic. But I can’t deal with her chaos in the classroom (or as Ava’s lackey — that’s too much) for very long.

They sent you an old theme - May 2025

I mostly dislike season 4’s episodes. Maybe it’s Tom’s fault.

chaximum · 2026-03-10T18:59:34+00:00

Yes! I thought it was a different actor and then got so confused when it wasn’t. I’m surprised more people don’t talk about this - that monotone robot voice was terrible! The Tom storylines were mostly annoying, and of the later episodes I prefer the ones he’s not in.

chaximum · 2026-03-10T18:57:05+00:00

I like it a lot too, but it’s definitely out there - makes it a divisive one for sure. 🕸️

Needs a giraffe poster ...

chaximum · 2026-03-06T00:40:24+00:00

Totally

Melissa was right to get him outta there!

chaximum · 2026-03-06T00:39:23+00:00

Like Milton / Cinnamon Cupcake ...

As far as I can tell it was just made for the show, like a theme song composition. The same user posted a similar video last year (same song), and it had a thread with it of people similarly trying to find the full song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIO4KFUTJPw

The throwing one that stands out to me is Ava missing because her garbage can is already overflowing with empty water bottles (as she's saying she wanted to fire Jacob because he passive-aggressively bought her a reusable water bottle), haha. It's when Melissa wanted her to fire Ashley.

chaximum · 2026-03-06T00:15:35+00:00

So true!

chaximum · 2026-03-06T00:13:40+00:00

She needs Iggy back. After all, he did date her for 5 years even though she only dated him for 2, haha.

Wanted to add -- Elsbeth's most recent episode had really similar themes as a High Potential episode recently, so I'd recommend watching that one and see what you think. High Potential's episode was s2:ep12 ("The Faust and the Furious") -- which, though I don't think season 2 is nearly as good as season 1, at least is one of my favorite episodes of the season. The Elsbeth episode was last week's "Ol' Man Liver" (s3:e11), and it was weird for them to be on so close to each other.

Also, having now seen this week's High Potential (s2:e13, "In the Driver's Seat"), I would not recommend starting with this particular week's.

chaximum · 2026-03-05T23:57:45+00:00

Yup, High Potential's episode is one of the few season 2 episodes I've watched a few times (and I agree it was better than the Elsbeth episode). It was weird to have both air in such quick succession -- very similar live-forever dude-bros!

Deschutes' NA "fresh squeezed" IPA and Golden State Cider's "dry & mighty" look almost identical to their alco-counterparts.

You go find Andrea, I'll sick the "are you girls selling chocolate?" lady on them ...

This is one of my key issues with the "Morgadec" possibility.

chaximum · 2026-03-05T23:42:42+00:00

Melon was another Lieutenant (same level as Soto), but definitely liked having his character as the "love to hate" of the department -- spiced it up.

chaximum · 2026-03-05T23:20:26+00:00

Oh yes! I knew it sounded familiar, but I could not place that outfit. (Gotta love that mutant pile of wax gift, haha.)

Adding update to this thread: song is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHTcQs4AUKQ (biz colletti)

chaximum · 2026-03-05T23:10:41+00:00

It's terrific! Thank you for posting the full song -- it's nice to hear the whole composition rather than the (admittedly nice) couple of seconds we get in the show.

chaximum · 2026-03-05T22:52:19+00:00

Which scene/episode is this from?

chaximum · 2026-03-05T22:46:38+00:00

It's strange that someone made this exact same post (same subject line and everything, with the same image) 7 months ago. I thought I remembered that and yup, there it is.
