This season is the Empire Strikes Back of the show. I hope next season is Earn's rise from the depths of L

If this season has taught me anything it's that Paper Boi is the real hero of this story. Earn ain't getting shit outside of more L's.

Before this episode I was thinking that Earn was secretly an amazing manager (but looked like a shitty one to the viewer) and Al was the one holding things up. Saying no to deals, etc. In the first few minutes of this episode that illusion immediately vanished. Earn just sucks. He might have good intentions, but he sucks.

What's even funnier is that Earn set up them staying at that crazy girl's place to save money on a hotel, and then Al just gives Tracy $200 to be his security. Tracy didn't even ask. That shit was ice cold.

Title Town
Wow.

Damn Earn.

That laffy taffy scene had me cracking up.

That frat scene is so weird. Never did get why people would degrade themselves, because hazing initiations are probably something similar to that scene and people just go ahead with it.

Love this season. It blends comedy with surreal moments into a artistic blend, it just works.

So this allergy question by Darius to Earn is coming back in the next two episodes, right?

This season is too good.

I love Al's expression change when the Instagram girl reveals the crazy. It's not a shock face, but a "of course" face.

Tracy is a dickhead. Funny and infuriating at the same time.

Seriously thought the girl would turn out to be a witch after that dream talk and the footprint on the ceiling.

Crazy episode, and great like usual. Al and Earn's talk was coming sooner than later. Very curious about where Earn will end up by the end of this season. Hoping he becomes aware of his shortcomings and how certain parts of his personality are bringing him down.

It's refreshing for an American-made show to have a flawed protagonist in Earn. However, with how busy his actor has been with Hollywood, and the resulting reduced screentime this season, I wonder if they're moving towards an Atlanta without the character. The story is certainly headed in that direction currently.

Can't stand Tracy. I know someone like that.
Lmao you're right, it isn't, but it sucks for us because the disappointment hurts every single time lol
LOL. Yeah.
Yes. No way Earn wasn't getting his ass kicked. 100%
Probably.

I mean Tracy is a complete shit lord but I knew Earn was out of his depth.
When Earn started yelling and getting serious in the car. I thought he was one of those people who usually can't fight. But when they're pushed past they're breaking point, they can hulk the fuck out on mans.

Hopefully that makes sense. LOL.

Tracy is a good character but he's also a piece of shit who i hope gets roundhouse kicked by the universe.

Not gonna lie I thought he had a shot against Mike Vick

Like I said, that's his superpower lmfao, I fell for it both times as well. Although the Mike Vick one was just dumb in hindsight, Idk what I was thinking with that one

Same. Though I did kind of feel bad when he didn't get that job he wanted.

I'd probably pass on the race I'd clearly lose, but do infinitely better with that one German event they did earlier in the season lol

Nothing was stolen in the Teddy Perkins episode right?

I think that's the only episode where someone hasn't gotten robbed.

Lmao, I was telling my friend that I hated myself for thinking this despite her being crazy af

Great episode. Hard to watch Earn take 3 straight L's back to back to back.



Truue.

I respect that.





Lol, I am not alone in this world
You guys are too weak, it would have been your footprints on the ceiling

Next to mine
Childhood was stolen.
And a life

Earn is an ineffectual piece of trash that slides by on a mix of callous indifference towards others, ignorance and undeserved arrogance.

He's just the worst.

And being a complete idiot

Sure instead of a hotel you know it's safe let's stay at a strangers room just because she's a fan without checking if she's crazy

But hey they saved money

Lmao this episode. Earn just totally fucking up. I don't even know where they could take the character. He just seems soooo stubborn. That frat house, jesus. Gotta give the pledges a mudbath what the fuck. I love the weirdness.

Tracy is a good character but he's also a piece of shit who i hope gets roundhouse kicked by the universe.
Yeah I feel this. I sorta don't want him to get fucked over, but something has got to happen to him. Like Drake comes looking for that jacket and lightly hits him with a invisible car.

Childhood was stolen.

I can see the metaphors for lots of things stolen in the episode but most of them have been spot on on and not metaphors.

Maybe the cops took the piano away from Darius as evidence could be considered stolen.

Im fine with the Perkins episode not having the stolen motif in it tho... it's definitely an outlier of the season and as such doesn't need the motif.

As for the recent episode... I wonder if this is like based on a true story when Glover was touring when he was small time.

Tracy's not a mean dude. He's loving life. He didn't want to fight Earn and went easy on him. Didn't boast about whoopin him in the car none either. Good guy Tracy.

Edit: yeah he stole that gun from the frat, but they were confederates so he did good as far as I'm concerned.

Teddy's plan to justify shooting Darius was to pretend he was a robber (IIRC). Nothing got stolen but still goes nicely with the theme.
