A real world social network would have seemed trite coming from anyone except Taco. He really, truly believes this is a great idea — that’s what makes this part of the episode work. Like his storyline last week, MyFace was a story that blended into the other stories more than a focus of the episode. The League is good about bringing past instances back (just tonight Andre used last season’s safeword “Fidelio” again), so I’m hoping MyFace isn’t going way … there’s plenty of potential there.
With the super spooky third half of the episode, I’m guessing they’re counting this as the Halloween episode. Mundane Ejaculation Man, Crawdad Man, Bobbum man … where do the writers come up with this stuff? Perhaps they were inspired by the weekly mind-bending creepiness on fellow FX show American Horror Story. Lord knows a murdering rapist that talks like a nursery rhyme is pretty damn frightening. All I know is, Rafi is both the worse and best person to ask to be a psychopath, depending on if you’re the mark. Oh, we finally see Rafi’s place, and the excrement stained mattress, toilet/kitchen/ice tub and wall of haphazardly stacked chairs did not disappoint.
I will say, it is nice to see the “forgotten anniversary” trope be used in a different way. It would have been very, very easy for them to have Kevin forget their anniversary and Jenny getting upset with him, like every sitcom with a married couple ever. By having Jenny forget their slightly less official anniversary, it’s still the same relationship issue but in a fresh light.
