oh god JAPANESE PORN STAR DIET

loved the mind grapes callback.

"she called my vanity license plate 'inscrutable'!!!"

that was ace!

i'm much happier with this episode. also "this grilled cheese has mayonnaise in it WHAT!?"

The stoners I watched this with were trying to sound out what the license plate said. :> It's inscrutable!

I thought it was funny that they were already pimping the "Me Want Food" merch in the lower 3rd ads before they introduced the phrase on the show.

that was meta to the maxxx

and despite my bleatings earlier i agree this episode was better

my favuorite character is grrrrrriz

that tracy jealousy medley, ending in the three-way shoulder massage, was pretty spectacular

ICU81MI

lol @ werewolf bar mitvah

It's about 100x funnier the second and third time you see it.

"Just so you know -- if you hear this sound at your funeral? It's just me...LAUGHING AT YOU."

"don geis likes quitters if i understood his autobiography correctly... OH WAIT I DIDN'T"

"Have you read the interview with Don Geis in this month's Yachting Illustrated?"
"Ha, no...I subscribe to Giant Boats."

"Your back is like a barrel of snakes!"

"how gay is this?"

this season has flat-out sucked so far, i think :(

"How do you feel about teeth retention?"

RONG XP

not to mention there's only been 2 episodes!

Patiently awaiting Pete / Twofer action.

No homo

the mindgrapes callback felt like something a fan fiction writer would do instead of writing a real joke

someone's been reading too much fanfic

also a nice zing @ broadcast television.

anything with werewolf bar mitzvah cannot be suckage. it's science.

That was the least funny episode ever. Still pretty good.

i dunno man, it was just a background thing, i like that they do that, like the mention of "garkle" in the wheelchair, another quick throwaway callback. i like shows with long memories.

the thing about garkle was liz's happy response like "o hai now i can get floydster job back!"

No star wars refs so far this year? If so, I've missed them.

i agree the mindgrapes retread was kinda weak...its doing the exact same thing as it did previously so just feels repetitive.

still fucking five hundred times funnier than pretty much most 'comedy' things

it's not like it replaced another joke! the choice was between "kenneth, i have an idea" and "kenneth, i have something on my mind grapes," so it isnt really like the writers were avoiding writing a new funny line. the mind grapes joke has only been used 2x before i think so its not like its over-played.

what are you talking about retread? it was one word.

Evening with Kenneth = serious lolz

yahh, ok, mindgrapes gripe is nitpicking. episode was still v.v. good.

LOL @ $199 starting bid on that ICU81MI domain.

"This domain name will hit bigtime."

JACKIE MASON

"ARE YOU TRYING TO CONTROL MY BODY WITH YOUR WHITE HAND?"

"Businesswoman."
"I don't think that's a real word."

"Ohhhh, you guys start with that?!"

'I couldn't get Miss Maroney fat and, well, one thing led to another and I think we have to get married now.'

Can you walk and talk?

Well usually, but now you've got me thinkin' about it...

YES, that was the best part. Kenneth is incredible.
