We should totally do one for some of the users on this board. I would love to see Bert’s tape.

I'm not familiar with MADtv. We only have MADLADtv over here. Can you describe what the sketch is about?

People who can’t get a date because of some weird reason so they go to this Lowered Expectations service to record a tape hoping someone else sees it. They also do their weird quirks in it that would make them undatable.

HBO Max has all fourteen seasons of it.

HBO Max was supposed to launch as the new, jam-packed streaming service of our wildest dreams—an HBO Now revamped, essentially, with all of HBO’s library plus all of WarnerMedia’s vast catalog. But despite the fanfare, HBO Max launched this week as a muddled mix of confusing brand identities that neither honors HBO’s high-bar legacy nor gives a clear idea of what Max is trying to be. Instead of being the best new thing in streaming services, we got a hodgepodge of oddball brands shuffled in together without any apparent cohesion. HBO Max is a damn mess, and it’s ruining an otherwise great service that viewers loved.

This reads like the Huey Lewis scene in American Psycho.

Aren't they killing off the other HBOs leaving only HBO Max? I'd say that actually makes it less confusing

That actually makes sense to do that given how HBO Go sucked and HBO Go as well as HBO Now were essentially the same app renamed.

HBO Max is better anyway.
