Worse Than You Think.

Beloved, acclaimed and coasting: Heckle takes a hard second look at the comedy everyone agrees is great.

3 pieces

  1. The Hangover Made $467 Million and Won a Golden Globe. It's Still Mostly a Mean Weekend

    Todd Phillips's 2009 hit is one of the biggest R-rated comedies ever. It's also a film where the funniest thing is a missing groom and the plan is to not look for him very hard.

  2. Ted Lasso Season 3 Was a Sitcom That Forgot It Was a Sitcom

    The show that won back-to-back Emmys in half-hour episodes came back with 650 minutes of television and a 75-minute finale. Kindness is a virtue. So is an editor.

  3. The Big Bang Theory Ran 279 Episodes, Which Proves Only That It Ran 279 Episodes

    Twelve seasons, ten Emmys and an ocean of viewers. A thing can be enormously popular and still be wrong, as anyone who has studied the history of hats can tell you.
