Review: 'You're the Worst' - 'Born Dead': It's not a party; it's an intimate get-together

Gretchen tries to reunite with her old friends, while Lindsay wants to make Paul jealous

"You\'re the Worst" coming up just as soon as I\'m in a war with an autistic kid from Sweden who keeps blocking me on Instagram...

"You\'re the Worst" has a pretty small regular cast by modern TV comedy standards(*), but a good-sized and robust collection of recurring characters. "Dead Inside" doesn\'t put them all on display — Sam and his crew don\'t come to the

party, and Vernon arrives without Becca Barbara so he can be unencumbered to pursue a friendship agenda with Jimmy — but it puts the bulk of the show\'s recurring cast, including new addition Mageina Tovah as Paul\'s delightfully-named girlfriend Amy Cadingle, under one roof to bounce off each other in amusing ways. (Though the episode\'s funniest gag — Paul recounting the increasingly-horrifying story of how his friend Connor\'s wife died — took place before the party sequence.)

(*) Ignoring "Louie," of course, because "Louie" is the exception to all rules and norms. 

Now, the downside to doing a larger ensemble episode like this is that it becomes harder to service everyone. Jimmy winds up largely on the outside of the episode looking in, even if Chris Geere does a good job playing exasperated at Gretchen\'s slovenly, sign-ignoring(**) friends, and even Gretchen\'s discovery that most of her former dirtbag friends have grown up (while one has gotten even worse than Gretchen herself) felt a little more predictable than I imagine it would have if the episode had had more time to spend on it.

(**) My favorite rule from one of Jimmy\'s signs, because of the utter British-ness of it: "No gang colours."

But all the bits with Killian, Vernon, Paul, and Amy were a treat, and it was another interesting (if still sad) episode for Edgar\'s pursuit of Lindsay. For a moment, she has an epiphany about how terrible she is — and the brief burst of self-awareness only makes Edgar want her more — but then she gets twisted up again with the thought of making Paul jealous, and Edgar\'s back to just being a plaything in her nasty game.

Oh, well. As a wise woman once told me, you can\'t force vagina tingles.

Everyone who isn\'t watching it should know that everyone who IS watching it is laughing at them.

You\'re, of course, referring to Phineas and Ferb, I take it...

Nope Paul, he\'s referring to You\'re The Worst! In my opinion, since P&R left us it is the best comedy currently airing and look forward to each and every episode it brings to us.

My favorite guilty pleasure on TV ... at first, I thought this was a very minor show -- but I\'ve not been able to lay it down since... YTW and Marriage are a strong 1-2 punch !

You might not have a clear understanding of what \'guilty pleasure\' is. The Kardashian\'s is a \'guilty pleasure.\' This is having good taste.

How is enjoying a well written and hilarious show a "guilty" pleasure?

I can\'t believe they managed to make me like Vernon for a little bit.

Touche, Guys ! Yet, since I consider "The Kardashian\'s" a non-entity (and do not partake) ... I\'ll continue to enjoy (and call this show) my guilty pleasure ...

This show is absolutely in the top tier of television programs at the moment. You say since P&R, I say since Community. The Edgar and Lindsay storyline is threatening to breakout ahead of the rest and that\'s fine by me. Kudos to critics like Alan that are championing it. The rest of us need to run and tell our friends they\'re missing out.

It takes me a bit to get through every episode because I\'m laughing so hard, I need to rewind to catch the stuff I miss. I love this show.
