  • Joe Pera Talks With You

    Joe’s love for his grandmother will make you cry. Then his best friend Gene’s sweet relationship with his sons will make you cry again.


    The Midnight Gospel

    It’s only really in the final episode of the series, but Duncan Trussell’s relationship with his mother was beautiful and sweet, as evidenced in the finale of this short series.


    Nathan For You

    While Nathan For You really isn’t about Nathan Fielder’s relationship with his parents and they are only minor characters in the series, in their few appearances, you can tell how much love and respect he has for them. His father loved Taiga soft shell jackets, and as a Jewish family, his father was devastated when Taiga paid tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their winter catalogues. Nathan would go on to create an entire company dedicated to making soft shell jackets in the style his father liked called Summit Ice Apparel so his father could feel comfortable wearing clothing from a reputable company that didn’t promote Holocaust deniers. 100% of the profits of Summit Ice go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.


    Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist

    As noted in a comment reply about Bob’s Burgers, largely made by the same group of people behind Bob’s Burgers, but back in the 90’s. A sweet relationship between a single father and his aimless but golden hearted adult son.


  • Before Bob’s Burgers there was Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, which is where H. Jon Benjamin (voice of Bob) really got on the map in the 90’s. He was so young back then, he played the son.

    But I always thought it was a very sweet relationship between a single father who was very understanding and patient with his twenty-something year old son who was perpetually without a job and very immature. So patient, so kind, so loving, no intent ever to kick him out and make him “grow up.”

    In fact, Dr. Katz, Home Movies, and Bob’s Burgers are all Loren Bouchard projects. He was a writer/producer/editor on Dr. Katz but he was a creator on Home Movies and Bob’s Burgers.

    Fun fact about Dr. Katz. Jon Benjamin’s character, Ben, was infatuated with his fathers secretary, Laura, who was played by Laura Silverman. Even though in the show her character couldn’t stand Ben, in real life Jon Benjamin and Laura Silverman were dating at the time.




  • Even if you were running a VM, bare minimum suggested space for Windows without many apps installed is anywhere from 60GB-80GB. 100GB is really about as low as you really want to go in terms of partition size. If you wanted a performant Virtual Machine, with ability to install other applications, you would want to give it that much space, which means it would still be taking up that much space on your drive. Depending on how much RAM you have and your page file settings, a significant portion of that space you’re looking at could just be a page file for swapping data in and out of RAM.






  • When people think you’re dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.

    Fight Club

    Doesn’t really give me goosebumps, but I think about it a lot because how much of a lie it is, especially because the Narrator/Cornelius is too full of himself to recognize the only people stopping to listen to him are people who are actually dying themselves. He isn’t dying, and isn’t actually listening to any of their stories, certainly not with sincerity or care. He is just merely… waiting for his turn to speak.



  • I have all three seasons soundtracks, because they’re all so good.

    Joe Pera is my favorite out of all of them, honestly. I wanted to get him to sign my copy of his bathroom book “A Bathroom Book Not For People Pooping pr Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape” when I saw his standup show but the crowd was too big and I gave up.

    Joe Bennett, the creator of Scavenger’s Reign on HBO and Common Side Effects on Adult Swim did the art for Joe Pera’s bathroom book, which is how I first found his art.
