I'm assuming everyone caught the bit with the jet pack showing up in the last second of the episode, right?

That was so awesome, I had to watch it twice in a row. Oh my GOB, good stuff! COME ON!

Did the dead turtle's arm break off when Buster lifted it out of the box or was that just my imagination?

Uncle T-Bag was great!

Tobias had some great lines this episode:

"that man runs a prison and can have any piece of ass that he wants".

"don't make the water too hot or the scabs will come off".

Gotta go pretty far down the list to get that definition. Never heard it used in reference to pot before.

Clearly that box has no lid. I daresay never had one.

I think it's an older term used back in the 70s or whenever people thought they had to discuss it in code. I've never heard of calling it that either, although my short term memory ain't what it used to be.

This was a merely average episode, by it's own standards, but played funnier the second time through. It almost felt like a standalone episode.

I thought this show was exceptionally funny. The Tobias bits were great (the implants are rejecting the body ), the fund raising thread was funny, the jet pack, the turtle losing a hand, the play, a great cameo by the Inside the Actor's Studio guy, and on and on. Hilarious.

Geezus, this was a great episode! It moved so fast that I had to back up a few times to catch what I missed from laughing so hard! Honestly, I thought this was one of the best episiodes and will be rewatching it again soon.

"Donny Host" heh
