My favorite subtle joke of the night: GOB doing a football toss motion while saying he was lobbed an easy one to knock out of the park.
flipping the PIP:
What car fire? Was it from the hydrogen filled balloons?

What was the order for episodes this season? If Fox decides not to air any more, how many will be left unaired?
On another note, I love this show, but based on this season so far, I'd almost rather see the show go out on a high note. The end of last season actually would have been a beautiful way to end the series, but this season so far has simply gotten too ridiculous. This whole Wee Britain thing has been horrible, and the jokes have just felt repetetive, and often cheap. While running gags used to be a strong suit of the show, I can live without another episode of Potria di Rossi naively throwing herself at someone.

holy shit! I didn't even pick up on that. I'll have to go back and watch the previous episode for more clues. I thought she said she was a teacher......although maybe she just said she went to that school or something. Hmmmmm, him kissing her would be pretty weird and then I guess that dude's her father and they're not spies. Maybe I'm missing something altogether.

I had to stop the DVR to catch my breath (and part of dinner) when they showed Tobias' business card. And I caught the bus bench sign this time showing Rita with "wee Br--ain" - (I usually read about those things here and have to go back and check). Such an awesome show - too bad it isn't catching on with more people.

Marta was played by a 3rd girl!!!!
This was a really good episode, but then i have enjoyed all of them this season so far, sucks that baseball kills it for a few weeks.

GOB had so many great lines.
"Take this and love us again!"
"All I ever wanted was to make you laugh."
"Take a look at banner Michael!"
"But I will. I will."

"No, dad, he said it, too."

I actually managed to get the analrapist joke before they showed the business card. I doubled over laughing, and then they showed the card, which made me laugh even harder.
I loved it when Tobias gave Buster the business card and Buster jumped back.
"It's pronounced differently."
"It wasn't the pronunciation that was bothering me."
And the whole exchange over Rita's unconscious body.
GOB: She's alive! And soft. Soft and alive.
Lucille: Let's not add those charges to this, too.
GOB: I know! I'll give her a forget-me-now.
Buster: A what?
GOB: A forget-me-now. Magicians use it on people who see a trick. It makes them forget the last few minutes. Like how all clowns carry a rag soaked in ether.
Tobias: Wait a minute, GOB, these are roofies!
Lucille: You're giving her a roofie!? Those are illegal!
GOB: Don't make me give you another one, mom!

And good catch on Rita being slow. I really didn't get that at all. Now her riding the rocket makes a lot more sense.
Edit: Damn, I keep thinking of more great gags! Tobias grabbing Michael's ass when he comes in to the party, then very angrily grabbing it disapprovingly when he finds out that Michael lied. Also, Tobias pretending to be Lucille for Buster's benefit. So good.

Everytime somebody said the name "Bob Loblaw", I lost it. Plus Tobias business card. 
Also great catch about Rita. No wonder she was acting all weird and there was no way she could have been their teacher.

It truly was a great episode. It had me laughing my ass off. Hopefully, someone can get another animated gif for when Buster was in the background during Michael's past date. I couldn't stop laughing at that.

Had to pause at Tobias' business card
