As you may have noticed from my ads on television, I now perform "marriage and relationship counseling services" on the side. (What? You thought writing TV columns pays the bills? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA... NO.) Wait... you haven't seen my TV ads? Not sure how you missed 'em... they usually run at 3:42 am, wedged between infomercials for the Shake Weight™ and Hair Club for Men™.

Anyway, here's what happens in the commercial: Fade in on a bickering couple in their living room. She's screaming, "You don't take out the garbage, husband!" while he's yelling, "You don't administer handjobs, wife!" BOOM! I burst through the living room wall, as bricks and dust rain down from the ceiling. "Hey Mr. and Mrs. Bickerson!" I shout. "Sounds like a certain couple needs the marriage and relationship counseling services of... [suck zoom close-up of my face] Wm.™ Steven Humphrey!" The camera then pulls back to reveal the bickering couple dead on the floor—victims of the falling bricks from the ceiling. Zoom back to my face as I turn to the camera: "DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! Enlist the services of Wm.™ Steven Humphrey, marriage and relationship counselor... before it's too late!" Cut to my number, address, and legal disclaimer that I'm unfit to practice any form of counseling.

Weirdly, my business hasn't taken off yet. HOWEVER! I'm convinced it's because my future customers haven't seen me in action! That's why I'm gonna strut my counseling stuff right here in this column by psychoanalyzing the couples in two new FX sitcoms debuting this week, starting with...

Married (FX, Thurs July 17, 10 pm). The very funny Nat Faxon and Judy Greer play married parents Russ and Lina, who freaking HATE their terrible, annoying lives in the suburbs (and their completely awful kids). Petty arguments, lack of sex, and humiliating hijinks ensue: For example, in the first episode, Russ develops an inappropriate relationship with a waxing technician.

MY DIAGNOSIS: This marriage cannot be saved. Take it from me, once something inappropriate happens with a waxing technician—there's no walking back from that. DTMFA, and DTMFWTA (dump the mother-freaking waxing technician already).

You're the Worst (FX, Thurs July 17, 10:30 pm). Jimmy and Gretchen are two young a-holes who represent the worst society has to offer: they're narcissistic, rude, self-serving boozers who couldn't hold down a relationship—until they found each other. Now they're making the world a living hell, while fighting and having super hot sex.

MY DIAGNOSIS: Jimmy and Gretchen remind me of my relationship with Mrs. Wm.™ Steven Humphrey #2, which can best be described as a volcano science project filled with actual hot lava and an atom bomb. We fought, boozed, had sex, stole police cars, and had drunken sex in stolen police cars—but frankly, we bored each other to tears. So we broke up. Therefore I'd advise these two dickhead lovebirds to be even MORE grotesquely obnoxious to avert certain boredom—otherwise? Go ahead and split up. (Aaaand... start having hot sex with me! I'M SO GOOD AT THIS COUNSELING STUFF!!)
