Good episode. Maw Maw was hilarious and the guy who played the weirdo at the store was creepy and funny at the same time.

This episode reminded me of a Simpsons episode. It had funny parts, but the plotline went from one crazy barely-related thing to another. Not so much a complaint, but different than the formula they've used thus far.

That creepy clerk trying to figure out how old he'll be when Hope turns 18 was so messed up.

Just got around to watching this episode and thought it was great, as usual.

I loved how they went through everyone they know and everyone got X'd out for doing something weird or irresponsible; except for Dancing Dan, who was X'd out in a second, lol.

Virginia: "We are not mongooses!"
Maw Maw: "That's just what a mongoose would say!"

Seeing Sabrina cannonball through the ceiling

Another callback to Burt only being able to think of the word think too.

Yeah, it was so hilariously disturbing. He's a great supporting character; the entire back-and-forth with him and Jimmy later on was great.

I love the attention to detail in this show as well. For one example in this episode, the sign on the building outside the lawyers office...all the things in that building were done by that guy and at the bottom it said, "Bernie Madoff's Financial Services-not THAT one!" It's small things like that that makes this show rewarding to watch again.
