Deserves all the applause

Who doesn't have that inner awkward part of themselves? J is so many of us AND the whole show breaks away from stereotypes to show such real and funny people we can all relate to. I also really love the "home movie" style of the filming which makes you feel you're a friend coming along with J for the ride. This show deserves all the applause.
