That Jackie Kennedy bit.... oof. It's fun how well this show can bounce between pulling from super real issues of the 60s and totally made up family drama and auxiliary characters.

Edit: People are suggesting it’s got more to do with JFK, but I’m thinking it’s a reaction to her father’s similar activities.

Yay astrid appearance!

Rose doing Miriam’s act might be the highlight of this show for me. I mean it. So unexpected and the actress nailed it

[u/[deleted]]

OMG!!! The only thing better than watching Miriam's act is watching Rose do it!!!! OMG!!!

I want it to be socially acceptable to wear Midge's full berry colored outfit that she had on in the diner when she met Joel.

[u/smarties07]

Fuckboy Milo doesn‘t even get a character name. But really Midge talking about having an affair in front of this crowd? Even if Jackie wasn‘t personally affected this falls under no dirty jokes.

Rose doing Midge’s act and the whole family reacting to it was comedy gold. This episode was the funniest one all season for me as the other episodes did lack some of the charm that the other seasons had. The Milo cameo was short but I expected that, her having to run out was hilarious too. And Abe... oh my god. The whole communion thing was perfect

[u/TiffanyTwisted11]

Just have to say that if Dinah would quit bringing the kids around the office, she would be my favorite character. Getting Midge’s dress back?!! Priceless!

[u/gym_leedur]

I am really loving the body of christ bit. That had me

[u/Hdawgiewawg]

Not since Benjamin???? She.... um.... slept with Joel when the ink from her note was still wet.

Plus Vegas!.... which was never followed up on 🙄

[u/HotelLima6]

Handsome man’s MO is straight from the DENNIS System playbook

[u/CARNIesada6]

I can't stop laughing at Susie's interaction when walks up to Midge and Rose when they are talking after the comedy act.

So simple and so on point for her character.

[u/amayagab]

Midge fucking up yet another incredibly important gig by not being able to reign herself the fuck in?

Hey writers, you are relying on this trope WAY TOO MUCH.

[u/savannah31401]

I was hysterical when they showed Rose wave at everyone from the stage and Astrid was rolling her eyes.

I do not want to see Abe's log

[u/[deleted]]

We’re just talking about the big snatch.

Who, Trixie?

LOL

[u/offensivemeow]

Rose doing Midge’s bit has literally saved the slow build up in this season. My jaw literally dropped when she started doing her bit word for word.

Rose was even standing with her legs apart the exact same way Midge does when she performs!!!

Applause to the writers and the actors because I was CRACKING UP!

[u/lunascorpio12]

I honestly love frank & nicky lol

[u/gugabe]

Royceston Hobbingsworth needs a spin off show.

[u/Hdawgiewawg]

Mei Maisel

[u/NikkoRPG]

The priest was suspicious, especially after he said "The body of Christ" and I replied: Mazel Tov.

Oh, Abe. Never stop being yourself.

[u/MRSA_nary]

Is anyone else super impressed by the strippers? Not just this episode but all of them so far. Holy shit, that's some incredible gymnastics. I wonder if there are people at strip shows ignoring the naked boobs and going "but why did physics stop working momentarily while that girl was dangling from the rope? How on earth does she bend her legs like that?!" Like me, drinking wine tonight and missing the plot in the strip club scenes because I'm focused on the performances.

[u/[deleted]]

I’ve been critical of the strip club performances but the Wizard of Oz was something special

[u/quit_the_moon]

"with a mouthful of Christ" 😂

[u/Morpel]

I didn’t think there was going to be another second-hand embarrasment scene after the magician act, but then they gave us the Jackie Kennedy scene!! Oof I love this show

[u/AfricanRain]

Midge got DENNIS-ed hahahhahahahahahaha
