In this clip from TV Party Tonight, Mark Radulich, Jesse Starcher, and Alexis Hejna dive into one of the most persistent—and ridiculous—tropes in sitcom history: the schlubby guy who somehow gets the hot wife. But The Critic doesn’t just recycle the formula—it tears it apart.

Through Jay Sherman’s awkward romances and self-aware satire, the show exposes the hollow mechanics behind sitcom relationships and uses them to mock the entertainment industry itself. From love interest absurdities to media parody, this segment unpacks how The Critic exploded one of TV’s laziest storytelling crutches—and why it still matters today.
