Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 15, 2016

Transcript:
Arlo: Unplug the router! OK, plug it up, again!
Arlo: Nope! Move it around a little!
Arlo: Maybe it's the modem! Unplug the modem!
Arlo: It's true - there's nothing new under the sun!
sorta like “stand on one leg, facing East, stick out your tongue, now hold the clothes hanger at a 92 degree angle towards the rising full moon. good, still no signal? well call tomorrow when the offices are open then, we’re the support team and based in Bangladesh”
The references to a modem and router are for the internet rather than the television. Comments on the television would be concerning the cable box or DVR.
I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be Janis under the desk, but the colorist has confused things by making her sweater red and her slacks blue, just like Arlo’s. And yes, sometimes the only way to restore high resolution streaming video on our Roku/Hulu/WiFi setup at home is to unplug everything and replug it.
Does nobody notice the colorist error? That’s Janis under the furniture, her shoes, and Arlo is talking from out of the frame while she’s under the desk.
I’m surprised Arlo wasn’t saying, “Shake it some. Now move it up and down. Wiggle it. Okay. I guess we had better go back to trying to make the TV work.”
It’s all the same nonsense people used to go through when installing and aligning a roof antenna. (Does anyone here even remember having a roof antenna? Get offa my lawn, you whippersnappers!)

I thought he was also recalling similar instructions when they had a roof antenna or bunny ears.

I remember a rotating roof antenna, there was a controller kept by the TV that we could change the direction of the antenna with.

I worked in electronics, and the mantra was “If in doubt, plug it in.” Then re-plug it in. It’s amazing how many times this works.

He should have said..There’s nothing new under the “moon”! Since Janice’s is sticking out from under the desk!

I guess that’s one situation where Yoga lessons actually have a real life application – Downward facing Dog.

If thats her ass sticking out, you’d think he be happier than that.

From her angle, he should be wanting a little something “under the moon”… :)

Actually that is Janis’s moon,they’re wearing the same cloths today.I guess it’s dress up like you’re spouse day in America.
Alphaomega over 8 years ago
I mean dress up like your spouse day in the U.S.A.

I did not know that “plug it up” was the opposite of “unplug”, except for when talking about plumbing…
kinsler33 over 8 years ago
“Plug it up” is likely a Southernism. I heard it used by my Afro-american customers when I ran a stereo repair shop in Connecticut.

The view he’s got is better than anything on TV
George Kemper over 8 years ago
I think Arlo is really having a good time watching Janis under the desk. As some else already noted, the view is great.

At least three things going on here but the one that gets me is the butt joke. Arlo is a bit of a dog.
