Outsourced

[J. Walter Weatherman]

This is going to suck.

Is this still essentially replacing Parks & Rec?

Wait, wut?  Did I miss something about Parks and Rec not coming back or something?

Those Communists.  Fuck that noise.

Which means I hate it without having seen a second of it. Nice work, NBC.

You'd hate it worse if you saw the previews.  I've seen two jokes in the promos:

1. An Indian guy at the outsourced Indian call center (which is in India) nervously sits with his headset on, coached by his clean-cut, American boss (who signed on for a management job at a new company in the States, only to find out on his first day of work that they want him to manage a call center not in America but -- twist -- IN INDIA!  Instead of declining and finding a new job, he apparently uproots his entire life and moves across the world to a foreign country so he can manage a call center that sells novelty goods).  Anyway, the Indian guy pushes the button on his headset to take his first call ever and says in an extra-Indian accent something like "Thank you for calling, how can I help you?"  After a brief pause, he earnestly describes the clothes he is wearing and then asks what the caller is wearing.  The American boss, who seems to be modeled vaguely on a less-charismatic Michael Bluth, hangs up the phone for him and slowly says, while inhaling through his teeth, "Wrong number." 
2. There is a character named Manmeat. 

This sounds kind of like that David Cross pilot if it was sold to NBC and was reworked in to TV cancer.

(Because cancer isn't funny).

IFC advertising that David Cross show on NBC Thursday nights is a winning move.

I am reading your comments in Samir Nagheenanajar from Office Space's voice and I have to say, it makes this terrible, terrible story slightly funny.

"This is a... fuck!"

"I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window."

It's funny because they're brown.

Yea, something like that. I watched the first episode (maybe the second, too). It was bad. Bad bad bad. Even if the jokes didn't blow, the premise of the show is just shitty. If HBO had this show and was showing some dots' tits, then maybe we'd be in business. Until then, fuck this show. Give me Parks back
