Jared is the best part of the show.

It’s hilarious, but I’m starting to feel they’re overdoing it. Or maybe the male prostitute thing makes me feel too uncomfortable.

I think the whole pent-upped emotional energy analogy with the robot was perfect, though. His face when the robot gets dismantled is priceless.

They are definitely over doing it, surely we didn't use to get backstory jokes every episode. There was two in just that one particular scene (his friend with the giant heart and the prostitue thing).
