Absolutely loved it, especially the >!covid reveal!< at the end.

Ken Marino deserves to be so much more famous than he is.

The desperation in his eyes kills me, and it's even funnier now that we're ten years later and Ron is still in the same place with the same goal.

> reveal at the end

I know people are wary of this kind of thing but they pulled it off so perfectly and it really sets a great tone for the rest of the season.

Loved that reveal, too. Is this maybe the first times that kind of reveal has been done? (Same spoiler, don't read cause it is really good)

>!I mean a covid reveal as a punchline to a joke about how it's going to fuck over everyone's entire next 2 years.!<

It was honestly really clever, and I wouldn't be shocked to see this same joke pop up in other media.

I literally screamed when they showed the punchline. It was so perfect. It makes so much sense why they were finally able to write another season.

Yeah I guess it'll make sense for why Henry is back in the crew etc.. but I feel like teaching would've been a steady job? Regardless, COVID is a great way to say why these people might still be in catering years later.
