Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Hank gets seriously bad news when his attorney (Carla Gugino) notifies him that the statutory-rape case is going to trial, but first he and Charlie take the completed film script to the director, producer and financier and the meeting takes a most unusual turn. Meanwhile, Karen and Marcy buy a home-pregnancy test to see if the latter is with child, while the former takes an interest in Becca's bandmate's father, an artist.


Episode 4 of 12

That was the funniest fucking thing I've seen on TV in ages.

As soon as I saw the monkey I knew it was going to attack Charlie. When he was in bed with the chick, I though it might stick its finger up his ass or something and think it was the girl doing it.

But they really got me when they showed Fisher Stevens hanging behind the bathroom door with his pants around his ankles. Did not see that one coming.

This episode was like Nip/Tuck on crack!

Nudity in every episode so far and fucked up situations. Now they just need to ditch Karen, Becca and Marcy for good and the show will be perfect.

The show just seems content to put Hank and Runkle in the most ridiculous situations for comedic effect. It feels like a National Lampoon movie based around college kids.

And of course we get the forced scene with slow music playing as Hank longs for Karen.

A new creative high for this show? (not necessarily a good thing)

Wow! That was one fucked up episode.

Charlie has such a shitty sex life (literally)....He lasts 10 seconds with the smoking hot Asian chick last week and now goes to war with the monkey and gets shit thrown at him during sex with the hot blonde.

at Fisher Stevens dying from Erotic asphyxiation

And I just noticed that Charlie has a Tramp stamp, did he get that this season?

I loved it too. Funniest episode of this show in memory. I love how everyone composed themselves at that guys house. Crazy shit all around and they're just taking it all in.

I also agree Karen, Becca and Co kind of bring down the show at this point. I get that they need to stay, but I wish Hank would just embrace his don't-give-a-fuck attitude a bit more. Rather than always trying to be better and inevitably fucking it up, followed by a few eps of moping.

Marcy is really, really hot. You can ditch all the other chicks, but I love me some Bobby Hill!

If I remember correctly, that was last season. I thought that it was a nice bit of continuity when I saw it pop up again this season. I hope Evan Handler didn't get that in real life!

Also, wasn't Charlie at 11 women earlier this season? Then he had sex with the actress and the Asian girl. That would bring him to 13. But he said the girl during the monkey attack would have been 17. Did I miss something or were those just offscreen?

He got the tramp stamp last season. When Hank and Runkle went on the bender, he woke up and had a butterfly with Marcy written beneath it
