Yeah someone change this dudes name to WOAT plz.

If you ever decide to start it, if you dont care much for Season 1, i understand. It REALLY gets in its groove at Season 2. I think season 1 is still enjoyable but during my watch of season 1 it took me awhile to understand the humor of the show. The entire thing is improvised so it made the acting seem weird to me, but the show really improves at Season 2. Still loved the first season tho.

Lol i did the same thing, years ago. I didnt retry until maybe 2 years ago when they announced Season 9 was coming. It will take a few episodes, but out of nowhere it just clicks somehow and the shit is fucking hilarious. Such unique story ideas lol and its hilarious how much of an asshole larry is but you can still relate to him even if hes being a super asshole. Most people just repress those feelings, but Larry doesnt lol.
