It's back! I didn't realize until today that I'd missed the 4/23 season premiere, just caught up now. So happy to see this bonkers show again.

I think the strip club/steakhouse sketch and the return of Black Lady Courtroom were my favorites, though the outtakes after the credits may have everything beat.

During pandemictimes, I have often watched ABLSS bits when I needed a lift. Robin Thede & Co. just make me howl. I am so damn grateful for these pops of joy and absurdity.

I almost turned it off before the outtakes, which would have been a shame.

I also greatly enjoyed the MASH sketch, the Lamborghini door hand gestures slayed me.
