The Americans is a very good TV show. Therefore, its creators, Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg, know a thing or two about what makes a great episode of TV the BEST episode of TV. And for the past year, they don’t think anything topped the 12 Angry Men spoof on Inside Amy Schumer, including an episode of their own show.
Vulture asked Fields and Weisberg to write about Pete Campbell, Dr. Ian Malcolm, and, um, John Hawkes at their satirically scummiest, which, to be fair, practically writes itself.
There were a lot of great episodes of television this year, and a lot of great episodes of Inside Amy Schumer. But we’re going with Schumer’s 12 Angry Men as the episode that topped them all — as funny as any comedy, but able to rip apart the human psyche as surely as any drama. (Via)
It ripped apart the human psyche like a tooth out of a Russian’s spy mouth.
