Last night’s episode of The League, “The Freeze-Out,” hilariously weaved together three plotlines, Timothy Olyphant as a white Japanese chef, the return of Rafi, and even guest star, Ryan Hansen (DICK CASABLANCAS FOREVER), who was kind of wasted in a throw away role. Not the best episode of The League, and its attempt to work paintball into the plotline didn’t obviously meet the great heights of the Community paintball episode (which all future paintball episodes of any television show will be compared to), but it was fun to see Olyphant in a rare comedic role (his first since appearing and then disappearing on The Office), and it’s always good to see Rafi.
In the A-plot, Ruxin was accused of white-on-white racism, after rejecting a white sushi chef, Wesley-San (Olyphant); the B-plot saw Taco and Pete playing paintball with Rafi — who confused ATTICA! with GATTACA! — while Pete continued to be frustrated by attempts to check his fantasy football scores (why would you play paintball on a Sunday?), and the C-plot saw Kevin and Jenny trying to top years-long Jenny’s record of having sex five times in one day with an old-boyfriend, Ben (Hansen).
Here were the 15 best lines from the episode.

It’s my goal to yell GATTACA at the most inappropriate times possible.
i kept expecting somebody to get shot in the face with how often they took their masks off
If you didn’t enjoy this episode, please skip to your 2 1/2 men on DVR
I thought this episode sort of sucked. I thought all of Rafi’s lines except for “war boner” fell flat and I didn’t think Olyphant’s feud with Ruxin was funny at all. Kevin saying he has to tell his wife his sexual history or else he’d forget it was pretty solid though.
The corn cob exchange was so damn funny. “Do you ever take two cobs at once, just like double fist them?”
Odd thing was Kevin was just going for the tie not the win with 5… If he wanted the win he would have gone for 6.
I would come so hard home for Dick Casablancas.
I think The League, more than any other program, is a show where I don’t care about the story or making sense of character actions as long as it allows for the guys to fuck with each other and talk shit on everyone else’s team….
Yeah, it annoys me when they shoehorn fantasy shit into the story. Why the fuck would Pete give that much of a shit about “his scores” during paintball?
That was an Olyphantastic episode.
Paint knife!
My favorite moment was when Pete’s phone had been switched to Portuguese, so he called Kevin and Kevin and Ruxin were flipping through a copy (Kevin’s, presumably) of “Portuguese for Dummies.” The callback and the look on Ruxin’s face were awesome.
Yeah, I was assuming the book was from Kevin’s bookcase of shame/knoweldge
A lot of good TV last night. Always Sunny was excellent also.
That was Ryan Hansen? I did not even recognize him with. He looks really old now compared to Party Down just a few years ago. He has to grow out his hair again.
My favorite part is how the quotes are completely butchered.
You are a dick.
Enjoyed the episode. I always appreciate when they get through an episode without crowbarring an NFL cameo. Those are always so awkward and forced.
One complaint, not enough people saying Chalupa Batman this week.
Oh Rafi, seeing you on my tv is like a warm blanket that wants to murder me and have sex with my corpse.
I enjoyed how Rafi found out about the paintball trip from Taco’s MyFace board.
