Something cracks me the fuck up about Nadja's accent when she calls people "stupid donkeys".

Feel like Colin could have his own spinoff show.

The teleconference was too much real life, especially since my life is teleconferences now.

Colin's stuff always falls really flat for me. I guess because I don't work in an "office" environment, most of his antics just don't resonate with me.

Then again, I'm not a huge fan of most "omg this is just like real life!" style comedy. I'm a much larger fan of absurdity.

Did you hate Mike Judge movies (Office Space, Idiocracy)? Because that's essentially what his character is.

Colin is my favorite character. That was easily the best episode of the season so far.

I liked Office Space, but Idiocracy was "meh" in my opinion. I also can't stand Bevis and Butthead or King of the Hill. Did he do Silicon Valley? I liked that.

Don't get me wrong, Colin has his moments and I "get" the schtick, I just don't find it all that funny. Characters like Lazlo and Nadja are so much funnier to me because they are rooted in the absurd, like most "good" comedy in my opinion. I'm just not a fan of that "true to life" style of comedy, especially when I can't really relate to it.

Colin is also an absurd character. It makes sense for his character to not resonate with people who don't work in an office environment but he is actually an over the top, absurd amalgamation of several different terrible office colleague cliches. It's not a realistic character.

So a dude that drains peoples/vampires energy by either boring them or making them get angry or upset isn't realistic?

Lol, it's one of those things - like, if you don't find Colin absurd, you're probably a Colin IRL bro.

People that don't like Colin Robinson must hate Milton in Office Space.

Watched the movie last night. Pretty funny, but is a different set of characters. Although they are very similar in a lot of ways.

I kinda wish they had a version of "Petyr", though.

The Baron from season 1 was pretty much the TV version of Petyr I think, just a little softer around the edges lol

Mark Hamill. Very neat. Kind of wish his character wasn't as ham-ish as it was.

Fuckin' Jackie Daytona.

Head and shoulder above the rest, this is quite clearly the best show on TV atm.

What are you even talking about right now? He is the only realistic character on the show. I am Colin Robinson.
