      And Hader, without missing a beat, explains, 'But Paulie, we lost it on Da Mets!'

    I call this show, Documentary Now, "Pee In Your Pants Humor," because that's what happened to me watching the Sandy Passage Episode, not watching it, actually, as maybe my bladder was empty, but trying to describe it to my husband on the phone made me almost pee in my pants, and I laughed so hard I had to hang up, and calm myself down, with terrible sad thoughts. Then re-watching the part with the sweat pants hat scarf, I laughed so hard I actually had an 'accident,' that I could not control. So heads up, don't drink fluids for an hour before viewing.
