Great beginning, started to fall apart at the end and limped across the finish line. But how could you not laugh at pit bulls tearing up Muppet Babies?
As usual, still vastly better than South Park.

There was a reference last night that I'm not sure where it came from. Im trying to remember eactly where it happened, but the Suicide Hotline workers were in the interview room/confession and they all made a noise and they're mouths changed shape. What the hell was that?

that was a reference to Jim Henson's Muppets.

don't remember the name of the things, but they were on either the muppets or sesame street. They'd just go "wop, wop, wop, wop" and things like that, with big exaggerated mouths.
i liked the "what do you call a guy with no arms, no legs in/on a [insert place here]" references.

I liked the whole comic book-style story of why he was "aborted".

Ouch, this episode was not only bad, but it felt like an insult. Kind of sucks that after two brilliant episodes they fall down on this. The only part I really found funny was the "And now to erase your memory" bit. I have to agree with the show on this one "This sounds like it was written by retarded third graders." I seriously hope this is not how the rest of the season is going to be like.

I thought THAT was tremendously obscure... guess a lot of people used to watch Sesame Street.
I actually thought Foxxy's "Wonder Woman" twirl was funny too.

This ep had some funny moments. The Sesame Street one was pretty funny, and the Muppet Babies one was too. I liked the comic book version of Captain Hero's origin also. There were a couple of other funny parts as well, but I didn't laugh as much as past eps. Everyone being in lingerie (including Ling-Ling) was pretty funny too. The "no arms no legs" guys names were funny too, though I had to explain that joke to my wife.

Every time I watch this show, I'm blown away by what they actually sneak past the censors because it's a cartoon instead of live action. It's funny, some of the edgiest stuff on tv right now is drawn, especially if you're into anime. I am, this one's my new fav: www.zatch-bell.com, not terribly violent, but good stuff.

It was Sesame Street. The Yip-Yips.

One of my favorite parts of the episode.
BTW, what was up with the gash in Captain Hero's mom?!

They often come across common objects and, curious as to their names and functions, the Yip-Yips will consult a book presumably containing information about things on Earth. In one skit, for example, the Yip-Yips call a computer a television and a typewriter before deciding what it actually is.
They are "yip-yipped" by multiple muppeteers including Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Martin P. Robinson.
