sam and brennan’s greatest weaknesses (respectively)
(transcript under the cut)
[transcript:
Clip 1:
Elaine: It’s possible this is my new favorite bird!
Sam: I agree. Before, my favorite birds were... [pauses]
Elaine: What?
Sam: Fuck me.
Elaine: [Laughs]
Sam: Um, bluejay. A robin. A cardinal. A flamingo... [pauses] Dinosaurs were technically birds. A pterodactyl—
Brennan: Sorry, dinosaurs were technically birds?!
Sam: I was just listening to an NPR story about this, Brennan.
Brennan: I believe that you mean birds were technically dinosaurs. Not all dinosaurs, were birds!
Elaine: He has a point.
Sam: Oh god in heaven, I don’t know if I know five more birds.
Clip 2:
Carolyn: Woody Harrelson has the vibe of someone who should have been cancelled years ago, but remains one of the rare celebrities loved by both sides of the political aisle, like Dolly Parton, The Rock, and... Kid Rock.
Brennan: That’s the opposite of these five celebrities that both the left and the right hate... Honestly, just like a list of five celebrities would be enough to really... [sigh] oh god, who’s famous? Um...
Sam: Who’s famous?
Carolyn: [Laughs]
Sam: This is like me with the birds.
Brennan: Oh, god, let’s switch. Let Sam name five famous people and I’ll name five birds. I’ll name a hundred birds!
I was going through old episodes and was going to gif this, but....it's just not the same without being able to hear Brennan yell, "TITTIES!" So, video.
Sam Reich, in a Dropout board meeting probably: and this is the episode of Breaking News where we embarrass Grant because he forgot the name of my Mice & Murder character
the only correct way to watch Breaking News/No Laugh Newsroom is with headphones in a public setting where you don't want to disturb the people around you, bc suddenly you know exactly what it's like to be the dropout cast member desperately choking down laughter
i love dropout i love dimension 20 i love um actually i love game changer i love no laugh news i love play it by ear i love sam reich i love brennan lee mulligan i love the intrepid heroes i love the entire dropout cast i love it all i seriously cannot put into words how fucking much i love them they are all amazing and they get me through the day
