The Golden Bachelor Live

17 seasons and I'm still laughin... so many shows are just still alive because they are making money and suits don't wanna let it die. This finale provided Rob and the gang still have a lot of good writing and ideas in the tank. This episode was funny, I loved the different format and satire. It was gonna be hard to follow up to the episode before where we get another Emmy worth performance from Glenn Howerton as Dennis, but I thought it was fun. Not really much else to say about it, could the hawk tuah reference feel already outdated even though it just came out ? Maybe but if you like it's always sunny, you'll love this episode.

I have to be honest, everything here is just so on the nose. I feel like the social media influencer commentary has been done to death, and so much of the rest of this episode is just crude sex jokes. Even though it still technically fits Frank's character, I feel like season 11's "Being Frank" accomplished the same task in a much funnier way.

It doubly sucks because the last episode, "The Gang Gets Ready For Primetime" is my favorite of the entire season. So tightly written, so many unexpected funny moments, and it legitimately felt like it brought the show to a new place while retaining the feel of a classic sunny episode.

Overall this season had some heavy hitters, including the Cake and EMT episodes, which made the show feel fresher and funnier than seasons 15 and 16 in my opinion. But sadly this one doesn't do it for me :/

I made an account here just to express my sadness over how much this episode sucked. The exaggerated Hawk Tuah character. The annoying voices of the other participants in the show. The product placement in the middle. I love this show but man. They need to stop doing TV show merger episodes and embrace the core narratives that made the show great.

Amazon prime ad packaged within a Batchelor ad. What a sorry affair.

Terrible comedy. Scenes like Charlie randomly smashing up the room or the live audience scene with silly voices. A desperate attempt to shock and distract the viewer from how awful and bottom tier the humour is.

The Hawk-Tuah reference character... This show is in the gutter.

Recycled gags from an episode before. A plodding pace filled with fluff like the romance between Frank and this random woman.

This series suggests they no longer have any idea what to do with the show. Aside from a brief glimpse of hope last episode, it has been dire.

Maybe it is time to stop.

I think it's time for the show to be over,

After they lost their edge due to united states political correctness, they no longer knew what to do with the show. And this episode shows how they're out of idea's.

I think base of where the US is politically now, there is no room for edgy comedy anymore.
