Download Video The League The Freeze Out Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The League Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Fantasy Football is at the core of The League, a comedy that explores how the online sports obsession affects marriages, friendships, families, and completely shuts down Sundays. The comedy will be partially improvised, with the team from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" behind it. Fantasy football is supposed to provide an outlet for good-natured competition and camaraderie between friends and colleagues, but that’s not always the case. In FX’s comedy series, The League, deception, one-upmanship and a win-at-all costs mentality rule the day on the virtual gridiron and then extend into personal relationships, marriages and the workplace.“The League” is the same way, and last night’s episode “The Hoodie” was no exception. Who else thought they could have filled an entire show with cracks about poor Andre’s hoodie- much less the three-layer sweater he wore later on?
Such is the beauty of what “The League” does best: it makes the entire show feel like it’s actually spilling out as it happens, as if you’re watching a documentary and not a sitcom.
It also excels at sports references and metaphors. The bit about scoring women the way one scores draft picks was particularly brilliant, least of all when the boys discovered the ladies did it too, as Sutton confesses later on in the show before unloading Pete for Taco (!). Poor guy- but her assessment wasn’t wrong. (On a side note, did anyone else think that was Clooney squeeze Stacey Keibler at first?)
Speaking of sexy ladies, Shiva also made a return appearance as well, attempting to broker her old, less-than-flattering pic off the trophy that bears her name by way of imparting key info about Andre’s “buried penis” or “fuba.” Basically, it’s a half-circumcision, and the same thing ended up happening to Kevin’s newborn, Christopher- aka “Chalupa Batman”- when he burst in during said act. Boy, is this kid doomed. Not a good start all around between this episode and the last.
Needless to say, penis jokes abounded. Andre: “I’m not a human dick!” Ruxin: “History has proven otherwise.” Kevin’s was called “More of a character actor than a leading man” by his own wife, leading him to declare his junk to be like the “Stephen Tobolowsky” of dicks, in the most hilariously-obscure reference. He later implored that his pals not refer to his son’s member “as if it were Fourth-meal.” Meanwhile, the Shiva Bowl became the “Sheath-a Bowl” and the NFL, the “National Foreskin League,” featuring the “Washington Shed-skins.”
I also loved Andre’s admission that he mostly blogs about “magic and sometimes Don Henley.” And the declaration that Taco was on a “5-second delay.” Finally, there was Kevin’s hilarious declaration to his wife’s good-looking doctor that “she had a baby because I put it inside her.
with my penis!” Kevin’s attempt to talk to his daughter about the whole circumcision thing was also comedy gold all around. Add her to the list of kids who will eventually need extensive therapy to function normally in society.
The premise of the show is rather mundane, but the execution of the humor is more than satisfactory. This show feels more like an internet series, yet that very same, raw, atmosphere helps develop the characters and the plot.
I find this show to be similar to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, yet it's slightly less raunchy, but a bit more sexual. I believe this show will thrive off cult followings and it deserves success.
At times the plot may be predictable, but the delivery from each actor and the humor within the plot makes the show nothing less than entertaining. Although it does take a while to become addicted to the show, by the time you reach Season 2, you won't be able to refrain from indulging in a marathon of episodes.
Each season is rather short and the episodes themselves aren't lengthy, but if ever there was a show that got down to the point, it's The League. Shows like Lost, House, and Arrested Development are beyond amazing, but they are lengthy (which is great when you have the time to invest). This show keeps you entertained but without the excessive time commitment other shows tend to require.
