Crazy Ex-Girlfriend : Why the scatological humor in the last episode?

It was gross.
And not a good moment for the hunky Scott Michael Foster.

It was gross. Maybe they wanted to humanize him and show how his OCD tendencies lead to bad choices. Sound like anyone else we know?

I laughed And I usually hate scat jokes. It was a great moment for 'the hunky Scott Michael Foster', because he got to show his talent for physical comedy. You could tell exactly what was happening just by his face

"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll justassume the worst."

Are you kidding? It was hilarious and much less over the top than usual. They could have done so much more with the Foley artists but they kept it relatively classy.

I loved it. It was hilarious and well-acted. And rebecca can't pretend she hasn't done the same thing!

Yeah, Totally gross.
Hated it.

You can see from the varied responses that mileage varies when it comes to fart and poop jokes. It's overused in film & TV and it kind of annoyed me that they went there (I appreciate the sex jokes in this series a lot more, because a lot of the time they're cleverly sly, really pushing it for network TV, and some of the stuff Rachel Bloom brings up in this series just isn't talked about on The CW's usual slate of shows).

On the one hand, it feels like a mediocre portion of an otherwise solid episode (that turned into an AMAZING episode by the end, probably from Valencia's involvement and Paula's phonecall to Naomi/Rebecca's mom, onward), but maybe it helped the rest of the ep seem that much more awesome by comparison and helped set me up for the surprise of it turning into a great episode.

And I'm not squeamish about discussing this sort of thing in real life. Besides just the common sense of "it's no big deal/everybody passes gas and poops (though hopefully not in their pants after the age of 3 or 4 or whenever most kids are potty-trained and not again until they're senile in a wheelchair) and everyone should grow up about basic bodily functions that every animal on this planet shares in common", I studied nutrition in college and that covers eating, digestion, and elimination. Just think it's kind of lazy comedy and I dunno why American fiction more than any other country's seems to rely on it to a disproportionate degree (I'm Canadian and up here they seem to like it almost as much). That said, I guess it further humanized Nathaniel, in addition to his perfectionist streak stemming from his daddy issues ? But there're other ways to humanize him.

One of the writers is a hack.

I hated it too

I thought it was funny. Scooting through the office on the chair was cracking me up.

I think that was the whole point! taking this supposedly "perfect" guy and humanizing him in the most humiliating and humanly disgusting way lol! I don't care for gross jokes like that either but I can see why they did it. He needed to become a sympathetic character.

ma ink

I guess I'm immature because his face when he "made" was hysterical to me. I felt like it wasn't over the top because it humanized him. Here he was this perfect robot of a person and he "pooped" himself And because of that he showed a more soft side to Daryl.





The above is purely my opinion and not fact.
