Dammit - two comments and someone already beat me to it.

I tried to write a joke about the Jonestown massacre once but the punchline was too long.

Technically it was Flavor Aid

It’s a reference to the show “the studio” homes

Anyone who hasn't seen Barry or similar where Hader plays a more serious role might be skeptical about this, but I'm excited.

[-] WilhelmStroker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Barry was a great show, I'm looking forward to this as well.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nice, Hader is great. If you have not watched Barry it is amazing.

The original made for TV miniseries with Powers Booth was really well done.
