That Episode was just hilarious. Buster attacking the seal bag, Maeby drugging Steve Holt, the whole Gob and ruffies thing, the phone sex, the analrapist, the exploding hydrogen ballons. I love this show. Take this and love us again.
I was totally sure of this on her first episode until the whole secret spy thing. But now I think she is retarded again. All the things you said plus the fact she was riding the spaceship in the restaurant. To me the clincher up to now has been the fact that when the Bluths came to pick her up, she was in the middle of the line of children while an adult was in the front (possibly her teacher) that I think means that she is part of the class. I think the AD thing would be to make her look like she is a spy and then end up that she really is retarded.
If this is correct, why do I have the feeling Hurwirtz is setting this up for an elaborate "Oscar's dealings with Saddam were based on faulty intelligence" payoff? That would be absolutely incredible, and not just because I predicted where he was going with it. OK, that's a lie. It would be entirely because I predicted where he was going with it.
I think this has been the best episode of the three. Anyone else notice the Judd Apatow script Maeby greenlighted, "The 14 year old virgin"? Buster mocking Michael's date was hilarious and roofies have never been funnier.
Did she greenlight it or was she the one who also changed the name (and the name of the other film from one referring to sexual assault to "Losing It")? I love the fact that they were able to meld the storyline of Buster and the seal with the storyline about the roofies (also known as the "club drug") into Michael's line that went something like "I'm not the one who clubbed, drugged..." Did anyone notice that the time code on the security camera in the school bathroom reached 14:22:22... (2:22:22) at the exact time that Steve Holt and George Michael were meeting in there?
"This is not the first time I've been called in to replace Barry Zuckercorn. I skew younger. To juries." Buster's voguing with the breasts was a pee-in-the-pants funny. Plus I loved Lucille handing rubber gloves and cleansers to Michael's latina date. By the way, let's all meet at Fat Ammy's for lunch today. Basket of doughnuts on me. OH -- I forgot the military's desperate and deceitful personnel retention policy. What's the over/under for Hurwitz' IRS audit.
Anyone notice the "Britain" bus bench that Rita was sitting on? The spelling would change depending where she was sitting. First it was "Rita", then later it was and "Brain".
Technically -- and I haven't gone back to see if this is correct, wouldn't you also be able to read that as "Wee Brain", which would give credence to the theory that she's actually a bit slow. God, I just got bored and went to imoscar.com...and there's now an advertisement to visit "Wee Britain", complete with a listing for Fat Ammy's ("Come for the Merry Poppuns").
I don't know if anyone else gets this feeling once an episode but I am constantly delighted that this show is a jab at the Bush administration and politics. One non-Bush example from last night was Buster throwing his medal back.
As many wonderful jabs that they throw against the Administration, let's not forget that leftism isn't spared much scorn, either. Lindsay is a classic limousine liberal, raising money for the downtrodden and circumsized not out of compassion, but because it is trendy and it's a way of getting back at her parents. Tobias is the representation of the touchy-feely, sensitive, Art Garfunkel-as-Alpha-male mentality. And Michael was absolutely awful to Ann.
Way to be a buzz kill... Anyway, I think you're way off. It's just a show. If it were political, it would become as unfunny as Rosie O'Donnell or what the Daily Show with John Stewart has become. And I wouldn't be watching, because liberal humor isn't funny.
