I loved Baskets!

I loved this show so much. I finished the series just a few days before Louie Anderson died and it just made me so sad. This show was so funny and so weird and brought tears to my eyes multiple times.

The dogs days are over seen with Dale is probably one of my favorite scenes ever in any comedy show.

I ADORE this scene! And SO MANY Baskets scenes. This show was so underrated, and tbh I actually really like Zack Galifianakis. He hates celebrity, he makes fun of it, he fucks with gender, and a huge one on top of all that for me, is that I think most American physical comedy is lame and poorly done, especially by men. But Zack fucking SENDS ME, I swear I re-developed ab muscles after surgeries from laughing so fucking hard at his comedic skills in Baskets overall, but especially his physical comedy. He is a gifted individual

Her & Louie were the best parts of Baskets tbh.

Zack Galifinakis is a gem and also he is in the music video of one of my favorite Fiona Apple songs

Omg theylezharold this was meant to be a reply to you!!

Omg that's WILD, I had no idea he was in a Fiona Apple music video! I love this, thank you for introducing me to this video and song! He's just hilarious and mood-lifting upon appearance to me 🤣 I just read a longread piece on her in I think, the New Yorker?

P.S. and this is random and weird but I always thought she was part black, and when I read an interview where she says she's part melungeon, I was like, OHHHHH! Like something clicked. Idk why I'm so fascinated with these things, they're so un-PC but geneology is just so interesting.
