Bob Odenkirk's memoir reveals him to be supremely arrogant and – by his own admission – mostly clueless about acting. I stopped counting the number of times he mentioned how he and some of his "comedy nerd" friends were smarter, sharper, hipper – in all ways superior to mainstream comedy of the time. I can't remember him describing a single sketch bombing, but if I missed one, it must have been because he thought the audience was stupid. The memoir becomes less repugnant in the final third, which deals with Breaking Bad and some of the movies Odenkirk acted in or directed.
