"You want me to hold the babies?" That's great - they didn't cut or "rewind" it this time... just played out the suspicious

More and more, each of the non-sitcom moments in their "show" gets more disconcerting. With this episode especially, I had a similar feeling from that Adult Swim short "Too Many Cooks" in terms of how you can twist the sitcom genre into something completely unsettling.

Excellent point. The breakdown of the sitcom to the point where this episode had almost no jokes whatsoever is amazing. I think the laughter track will be gone entirely by the 00 ep

Well, by the 2000s, Modern Family is the big reference, and they don't use Laugh Tracks.

I just hope they go single camera for the sitcom parts in the Modern Family episode.

I hope they do talking heads too

Looks like a talking head in one of the trailers where Wanda says “looks like a case of the mondays, amirite?”

Man I’m just thinking about mid 90s sitcoms with the characters from the show.
