Didn't see this thread so I deleted the one that I started.
Is this delayed in the US because of football? I turned on the regular channel that I watch it on but it wasn't on, so I am catching it on a non -core channel.

another great episode. three perverse jokes in one sitting: 1. the reach around, 2. i blue myself (again), and 3. make love in your own hand. goddamn, they circumvent the censors quite well.
one question though, someone please explain the "charlie browns" joke. i'm just not familiar with the term...are they talking about...um...testicles?

How he emphaized his words was really questionable. I highly doubt that is the case though since it was really obvious.

I won't spoiler since it is just a theory, but the show has definitely strongly suggested that Oscar is Buster's actual father, both by certain things characters have said (as mentioned above), and by both of them having similar mannerisms (shown in the last episode I believe).

Yeah, they've been hinting at Oscar being Buster's father for a while now...in a completely obvious and hilarious way.
The recurring joke with Gene Parmesean was just as funny (if not funnier) than last week's recurring Tobias joke! I really hope he's on more episodes.

I remember the soccer part in an episode last season and the whole Oscar being the only one believing in Buster, but that never crossed my mind!
I kind of see it now. Just goes to show that the show is completely rewatchable, because you can miss a joke just like that because they are so zany and out there.

Tonight's episode was hilarious. This show has lost no steam at all since last year. The joke at the beginning with the motivational posters "It's okay to make mistakes" followed by "Never give up." reflected perfectly there actions. Did anybody catch the subtle addition at the end where the poster read "Keep an Open Mind" as Michael expressed his dislike of Anne? Comic gold.

God, there are just so many clever lines in this show it's freaking amazing.
The best part was when Tobias got tackled by Ice thinking he was George Sr. because of the blueprint.

Each episode so far this season has topped the last

I get tired of laughing outloud when I watch this show, so I do so internally now, and still it produces about 5 chuckles/minute if not more.
Loved it when the maid said "retardo" and they subtitled "Buster" just in case anyone was confused by her Spanish. Heh.
