Adam Ruins Everything

New series by True TV. Pretty good, the finale went in a direction I was not expecting.

Yeah that got dark fairly fast.

Dear God.... Adam ruins death gave me nightmares. Cerberus Syndrome doesn't begin to cover it.

It went from "adam makes you feel like a fool but you'll feel smarter" to "adam will give you depression".

The Mood Whiplash at the beginning of the episode was great, though. It seems that was used a LOT in this episode.

Edit: Also, looking back, it seems they've been building up to this since at least episode 2. "Little bugs" was on the side of the truck. Nicely done, Conover.

So was "Adam Ruins Death" the season finale? I don't think they were clear about that.

Yes, I think he stated that on his Twitter.

Jesus. What a harrowing note to end the season on. Has the show been renewed for another?

I don't know but it seemed like it was doing pretty well.

The end of the episode with him at the funeral had something I think the episode needed: human emotion.

I mean, obviously it was a pretty emotional episode but if you go on You Tube (yes, I know it's You Tube, but still) and look at the first clip you'll find a bunch of comments going "I'm not afraid to die, only arrogant stupid people are" or "Only children are afraid of death" and other such nonsense. The end of the episode really hammers in that you can totally accept death as inevitable but that does not mean you aren't afraid of it, and that's okay. I liked that part.

So, did you learn anything new from the show? I didn't know female developers were in gaming so early.

I learned something new basically episode. He didn't really go over anything I hadn't heard in the election episode and I think each episode probably had something I'd already heard but for the most part watching the show was indeed a learning experience.

That part nearly made me cry. Seeing Adam Conover, the arrogant know-it-all smartass, crying and trembling and confessing that he's still afraid of death was almost too much for me to handle.

It made me realize that... well, I'm afraid of death too. I always have been, really. I remember when I was little, I confided in my mom about it, and she reassured me that it's, "like a deep, deep sleep."

I know it's okay to be afraid of death, but I don't want to be. How do I go on enjoying life with my own mortality hanging over my head?

I really didn't know some of the stuff in the pilot episode or in the finale, but here or there I went "oh yeah I knew that." Really, it's just a funny and interesting show.

So this show was renewed for another season, 14 episode this time, starting in August. I figured as much but I'm still glad. I like this show.

Yay! Maybe they'll do an episode on pets or something.

He's Back....On August 23

Some new topics include an adaptation of the "Purebreed Dogs" sketch from the original College Humor short. In addition, movie ratings/censorship, immigration, fitness (hydration) and another adaptation involving Weddings.

Rachel Bloom (Crazy EX Girlfriend) stars in a edutainment cameo from an upcoming Hollywood-focused episode of Adam Ruins Everything. The clip:

New season starts tonight at 10 EST with the episode "Adam Ruins Hollywood", with guest stars Rachel Bloom and Ariana Madix. Another clip:

And a mini recap of some of last season's notable culture exposures:

The "Oscars" Segment is up on College Humor 's official channel.

Tru TV has a clip of next week's "Adam Ruins Football" involving myths around dehydration.

I found the award's segment great, especially when it mentions the For Your Consideration stuff, considering that Rachel Bloom herself put on an awesome For Your Consideration for Emmy voters:

Anyone still watching the show? I just caught up on it earlier today and still can't get the one on animals off my mind.

I'm watching the clips on Youbtube and planning to binge that last couple of episodes of the new season I missed.

I watch it every week. I consistently choose it over Atlanta.

What part of the animals one has your brain revving, Odd?

Well, the Election Special is done. Pretty good, but I'm sure that last segment rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. The guys in the U.S. politics thread would definitely hate that part.

I'm still watching, though I'm going to have to wait til On Demand (or at least, CollegeHumor or Tru TV's Youtube pages) upload the full show/clips of the Election Episode.

And I think some people are already rustled with the Hillary segment uploaded on Tru TV's page.

And this clip featuring how typical ad hominin attacks appear in a Election cycle:
