Marcella: “Stop! Stop enabling me!” Oh, that ship has SAILED. 😂

[@MarcellaArguello]

😂

[@LycanLink]

Felipe's adorable! It can't just be me who loves his delivery. I feel like he could be my goofy uncle, or something. 😂

[@Northymark2]

The haunted doll again, yes!

[@threepiecefishandchips]

Sasheer Zamata: nope Pete Holmes: nope W. Kamau Bell: hell no Marcella Arguello: I DEMAND YOU BRING ME THE DEVIL CHILD

[@MarcellaArguello]

The doll is scared of ME

[@chilaou]

I ship it.

[@mondaynightballroom20]

The doll has met its match. Tall ladies and short kings go hand in hand.

[@MarcellaArguello]

😍😍😍

[@parkbum7141]

No, don't take the doll!! .... bah, it will be back to torment you Taylor 🤣😆😈

[@carina9295]

That’s why the correct response should’ve been - no response at all

[@melissahudson3488]

Taylor, bring this group of comedians back again! This is the funniest episode. USA. USA. USA.

[@amberwilliams8240]

Morgan went full Karen at the end 😂

[@MarcellaArguello]

We learned a lot about her that day.

[@chilaou]

@@MarcellaArguelloSo, what did pelvic thrusting the creepy doll tell us about you? 😂

[@baimun]

If I got a mistaken text from Sir Patrick Stewart, the only proper response would be "I gave my ID card to the border guard, it said my alias was Capt Jean-Luc Picard.... United Federation of Planets, but they didn't speak English anyways... "! ☮❤🎶

[@hardtymz2517]

Bill Shatner Okays this.

[@nannyalberte]

I hope there's a universe in which I'm close friends with Taylor and Marcella 💕💕 Again, this was one of the funniest panels. Marcella should be a regular. Like I wish she'd be there once a week, at least

[@a_d_a_m]

THE DOLL RETURNS!! 💀💀💀

[@Arcturuseyes]

Taylor please text Patrick back randomly a deep existential question, see what he says

[@richardolivia]

When Marcela disappears we know who is to blame. The doll took a sacrifice.

[@threepiecefishandchips]

ho ho, Marcella isn't trapped in the room with that doll, that doll is trapped in the room with Marcella

[@YouHadMeAtMoonPie]

Marcella’s imitation was on point

[@Bryan_on_fire]

I would have pissed myself if i was at this show live

[@videt7459]

That 'The Price is Right" reference than none of the under-30 year olds understood.

[@dellam2195]

these are great i love this show XD

[@TheSocratease]

They are insane!

[@Default_user1234]

So nice they brought Marcella back

[@SadhviJenn]

Yeah! Good hair club!! :)

[@mascadadelpantion8018]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[@madderhat5852]

Don’t worry,the doll will find its way back home.

[@AdrianColley]

The text "from the haunted doll" is obviously from Taylor's brother, so "hahaha" is the right response.

[@LycanLink]

I agree, Taylor's mega-hot. I mean, she's hilarious AND stunning? Of course she's also breaking college professors' hearts. Also, gurl, you need an exorcist to help you with that doll situation, STAT!

[@YvonTripper]

"Meeting someone at Community College is like finding an unopened bag of chips in the garbage" - Taylor Tomlinson

[@mayuthedemon33]

Too lol😂

[@TakeMeToYourLida]

Felipe is so good

[@timothyablaze]

Excellent.

[@justsaying14]

Party Time!

[@barrettpickett5603]

Wrong message from sir Patrick Stewart. A cyborg thing. And to the blow up doll. He, he, he.

[@ItsNaberius]

Holy shit that slide whistle sound effect was insane

[@AdrianColley]

Only "AHAHAHA" is right for Patrick Stewart, because of the Give Him A Big Hand He's British Act of 1999.

[@paulyorke1]

Give Patrick Stewart EVERYTHING including TINY COUCH! I went to the same school as him and we both support Huddersfield Town! We rule!

[@jopalm3649]

Belipe, Belipe, Belipe!

[@hourwagontoupeeferret6107]

Riker’s wife annihalated charles & dianas wedding in the 1981 tv ratings. She married the scientist from UHF. I can’t believe weird al didn’t bring that up!!!

[@SailorGreenTea]

8:49, she is actually good at that.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

SPS: “haHA!”

[@dianewilliams1125]

Is the doll Robert E. LEE?😅😅😅😮😮😮

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

Or Jim Gaffigan in an old timey outfit.

[@reyvagabond3344]

For the algorithm,

[@nbuehster]

We haven't heard about that doll since this episode, so I'm guessing Taylor hasn't gotten it back.

[@annaphallactic]

Has anyone done a wellness check on Marcella tho?

[@nbuehster]

@@annaphallactic Are you talking about her suffering the same fate the other panelists who got the doll did? RIP I'm guessing she's perfectly fine, since *SPOILER ALERT* she brought it back with her on another episode. What would be funny is if she was on an episode where the prize was another doll, and she brought out hers, either in the beginning, when Taylor says the prize is the doll, or closer to the end. If Marcella won, she would say something about adding it to her collection. I don't know what would happen if she was eliminated, but something would cause her to bring it out. Either way, when she brought out her doll, she'd ask if Taylor wanted to trade dolls, but Taylor would say "No, you keep that one.".

[@joemontondo9113]

HAUNTED DOLL UPDATE!

[@curtisholsinger6023]

Hah.

[@felixxtcat]

How psyched must Taylor be to finally be the most attractive person on her own show!! May God continue to smile upon her!!!

[@nbuehster]

Marcella Arguello just became a victim of that doll. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!😁 RIP (We all know what happened to the other comedians who got it.💀) I want to know about that. Do they give it back to Taylor after the show, or does she have more than one of those dolls? (I'm always curious what happens in terms of the prizes. Do the players actually keep them, or give them back to Taylor after the show?)

[@MarcellaArguello]

The doll is mine now.

[@benchiaase]

It's a running joke. They obviously didn't actually give them the doll. The prizes are clearly inconsequential. They've also had intangible things like "Taylor's father's approval", "An extra year of life" and "A close-up shot"

[@MarcellaArguello]

Nah @benchiaase i kept that doll!!!

[@nbuehster]

@@benchiaase I know some of the prizes are intangible, but what happens to the ones that aren't? There were some that involved food, like a pie (for Pi Day) and doughnuts. (I'm still surprised she didn't know there were cops outside during that episode.😁) And, like I said, there might be more than one of those dolls. (like they were custom made for her)

[@nbuehster]

@@MarcellaArguello And you're still alive? It actually reminds me of a point and click comes from before Flash went away. Look for videos of "midnight spooks the photo". (Try to find the longest videos, so you can understand the full plot.)

[@UserNameGenerated]

what about Bahahahaaa

[@benchiaase]

If she's never met Patrick Stewart why does she have his name saved in her phone? 🤔

[@jdrano2215]

Wouldn't you?. It's ok if you don't understand.... it's science.

[@R0bobb1e]

If someone is going to curate these clips into the episodes, can you please put them in the right order?

[@wilgarcia1]

lol ;P

[@chrisarcher1146]

I have never texted any variation of this phrase, mostly because I don’t need to deal with this Bullshit. Also, Taylor… you knew about midichlorines. Don’t pretend you’re not also a Trekkie

[@twinklymidnightlight1094]

Morgan's vibes are so off. She was being so rude to Marcella the whole show. It's uncomfortable to watch.

[@jdrano2215]

I'm not sure anyone but you got those vibes.....

[@athanatic]

Like its alleged predecessor, this show does double duty in bringing new comedians to more eyes only as mirrored by the original ideas of the Comedy Channel and Central. Perhaps more importantly, it is progressing the biggest human language by integrating the ephemeral forefront of the digital english language with the central cohorts!

[@claiminglight]

Dude, somebody needs to have a sit with these writers. I'm really trying to not go full blast on how bad this was.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

Marcella was trying her hardest to bring some energy. And the crowd was doing their best "laugh for the camera" thing. The other two contestants apparently got stoned with the writers.

[@u-neekusername4430]

So you went full vague? I'm legit curious about what your critique is, please explain what you mean. You seem like a regular person with a regular perspective (as in not a paid critic w/paid agendas), so I'm curious.

[@jdrano2215]

Going full blast won't matter that much..... I don't share your opinion and it looks like the majority of viewers don't either

[@claiminglight]

@@jdrano2215 You mean on the video that has 30k views and 700 likes after 2 weeks? From a network tv show?

[@jaredknapp8886]

people out here saying one dollar. YOU KEEP BOB BARKERS NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH.

[@MarcellaArguello]

NO HE WILL LIVE FOREVER IN MY MOUTH

[@jaebee1121]

Marcella badass

[@petecoogan]

And Marcella was never aeen again. But the doll was

[@MarcellaArguello]
