Mad men
I’ve noticed that there’s a pretty big overlap of people who love IJ and people who love Mad Men. Myself included, and this guy: Pure Kino had this take: “The plot is there to serve the characters” and I kinda thought “Bingo” and tho IJ is bigger than that. It’s a good litmus test.
Anyway, thought I’d share.

Decemberists
Does everyone know this is a thing, and that Michael Schur names his characters after IJ ones? Like Orin in parks and recreation. If I’m super late I apologize but I just learnt about this

Bathroom reading
I was first introduced to IJ in the summer of 2000, I was home from college, doing much reading on the can. In those times, there was always a Readers Digest, magazines, or a plethora of Tom Clancy books available in my parent’s bathroom. Don’t get me wrong, I love all those things, they ignited my love of reading from a very young age, but I made the mistake of leaving my copy of IJ in the bathroom and hilariously, it was around the, “fook in the bottom” story. My dad read it and a hilarious/humiliating conversation about it ensued

I think the “Sarah Sherman Tone” has permeated the show as whole. Her voice seems to be very “garbage pail kids” and, frankly, I’m enjoying it a lot. Does anyone else feel this? I’m a little worried it will wear thin sooner rather than later, but I also think she could be the second coming of Tina Fey…
