Episode 21 of 24

Geofferson

Decent ep, but highlight for me were the 2 Man of Steel TV spots.

Shannon Nutt

I must have been in a bad mood, because I didn't find this episode particularly funny. Seems to me that they either hit it out of the park or fail miserably with most of the shows this season.

CharlieK

Rob Riggle plays the best asshole.

RoyalTea

I think the only time I laughed this episode was the final scene.

Haley: why can't you pee straight?
Luke: I'm doing a great job from that far back.

No... it just wasn't any good.

Shamus McAnally

By and large, I felt this episode was a pretty decent letdown. There were some good lines, but in general, I agree that this season has been much more hit and miss than I recall any other seasons.

That said, I really hope Lilly follows Luke's progression. As far as being a crappy character that emerges as a great one. Luke's role is well-written and very ably performed by the actor. I think it's safe to say that he's getting close to surpassing Phil as the best character on the show, even if he doesn't have as much screen time.

Fist of Doom

Yeah, this one was a dud. One of those rare episodes where all three storylines fell flat.

boogieman03

Same here. Luke's the best.

whotony

I thought it was pretty funny when Lilly wanted the card then said, "I can't read." And handed it right back.

Mr. Salty

Haley in the Tooth Fairy costume was worthwhile.

Raul3

The episode wasn't that good, but I actually laughed at some of Lilly's scenes.

boredsilly

Yeah, I was the same.

"Can I borrow this?"

"Sure why?"

"I'd rather not say."

Nausicaa

I thought it was pretty good. Even when it's not firing on all cylinders, this show is funny and has a lot of heart.

I burst out laughing during Phil's career day presentation. When Gil interrupts and video Phil looks at him and starts talking, I thought that was one of the best scenes this season.
