For a bit, I was trying to be this more deadpan, low-energy kind of person and that wasn't successful for me.

More deadpan anger, this time directed at Billy Porter — who has the audacity to take too long making an entrance on The Late Late Show, and gets "kicked off" by Corden as a result.

JON PARELES The opening track of Joyce Manor's fourth album, "Cody" — out today — is somehow more deadpan and also more wry than this excellent band's prior work, which has ample servings of each of those approaches.

She is a natural as a stand-in for Waller-Bridge, with even some passing physical resemblance, but when Cottin breaks the fourth wall, she is more deadpan; it makes Mouche her own, though it's hard not to miss that familiar twinkle in Waller-Bridge's eye.

Following a quick farewell to Will (who I didn't realize 'til the last minute was a different guy than James Taylor), James S. (the Bachelor superfan I really wish would stick around to provide more deadpan social commentary) and Brandon the hipster, JoJo toasts to her remaining men, many of whom now legit wanna kill each other. Clink!

The film's central conceit was to produce a real action film, with MacGruber as comic relief. It was inspired by their love of 1980s–90s action films, such as Lethal Weapon, Rambo, and Die Hard. To this end, it is considerably more deadpan in its parody, with most characters outside MacGruber designed "as serious as possible." The most difficult part of the writing process was to portray MacGruber—an "insanely flawed [and] narcissistic" individual—as a likable lead character.

Stand-up comedian Louis C.K. appeared in several episodes as Dave Sanderson, a Pawnee police officer and romantic interest to Leslie Knope. Although typically known for his raunchy and caustic comedy style, Louis C.K. adopted a far more deadpan sense of humor and technical tone of voice for Sanderson. Two of Amy Poehler's previous cast members from Saturday Night Live appeared in Parks and Recreation episodes: Fred Armisen played the vice director of a Venezuelan parks department in "Sister City", and Andy Samberg portrayed the head of security for Pawnee's parks in "Park Safety". Will Arnett, then married to Amy Poehler, made a guest appearance as an MRI technician in "The Set Up".

Two Droopy cartoons – The Shooting of Dan McGoo and Wild and Woolfy – also feature appearances from the curvy heroine of Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood (1943) as a damsel in distress being pursued by the Wolf. Three later Droopy cartoons –Three Little Pups (1953), Blackboard Jumble (1957), and Sheep Wrecked (1958) – feature a slow-moving southern wolf character. Voiced by Daws Butler in a dialect Butler later used for Hanna-Barbera's Huckleberry Hound, this wolf was a more deadpan character with a tendency to whistle "Kingdom Coming" (aka "Jubalio") to himself (much like Huckleberry would sing "Oh My Darling Clementine" to himself). Avery took a year-long break from MGM from 1950 to 1951, during which time Dick Lundy took over his unit to do one Droopy cartoon, Caballero Droopy, and several Barney Bear cartoons.
