The Twizzler demonstration was great. I figured that when they planning to set Dino up, it would be a camera shot of his non-functioning unit. The jeans bit was lame if you ask me.

I was let down by that cop-out, too. They could have done something much worse - and more entertaining. Grrrrrrrrrrreta was hot though.

They just need to get Dino and Jackie - I expect them to do so over the next few weeks. Particularly once Jonathan realizes who stole his dad's pills and heeds his fathers words about being young and the problem not being physical.

Ben's infatuation w/ his brother was annoying, particularly when Sue couldn't get enough him at that particular moment. I didn't understand his logic there.

That father-son talk was hilarious.

Sue wasn't showing the cleavage, so his thoughts turned to his brother.

Maybe I'm just out of it, but do clothing stores like that (if stores that solely cater to hot 17-year-old chicks exist) really hire teenage guys? If so, how was I never aware of this in 1988?

If Dino stole pants that fit him, I'm pretty sure they sell clothes to guys too. I'm guessing they were parodying A&F where you have to have a certain "look" to work there.

I was surprised to see Dylan Baker on this show as Ben's dad. He's done so many movies, it seems like a small part for him. I have a hard time seeing him play someone's dad without picturing the creepy child molester he played in the movie Happiness.

I thought it was hilarious that the pills worked on Dino during wrestling practice. They cut that scene off too short, though. It would have been funnier if people had seen him in his predicament and got the wrong idea. Rolling around with guys in tights...
