"That's a gift for you Bumblebee"
"Enjoy it coach Dick n' Balls"
Amazing episode. One of my favorites of the entire series.
Also the One Flew Out The Cuckoo's Nest homages were classic!!!

This episode just didn't do it for me. Some good stuff here and there but overall just too many threads going on. The story beats just didn't work and instead the characters just seemed more insane than usual. They should have cut the Frank on meds stuff and done more with Mac pretending to be "the new guy". And while doing that they could have established Charlie appearing actually do the job, which would have setup the mail room meltdown scenes for a better payoff.

that would be funnny, but how many pieces of mail would spell out "Pennsylvania" instead of abbreviating it "PA"

Isn't there a plot-hole where it seems like Dee is out of shape and she gives the impression that she's never worked out before?
I remember earlier episodes where Dee was jogging or some type of exercise, and the Eagles tryout episode where she stated that she'd make it further in the tryouts than Mac and Dennis because she stays in shape and works out (and Mac and Dennis agree). Now she gets a heart-attack, is out of shape, and wears jeans to the gym not knowing that it's not the right workout clothing?

loved the scene in the gym was great with Dee wearing jeans and the whole bit about the Steve Winwood CD. The stuff with Frank seemed like they needed to have something for him to do and just threw it in there.

Dee doesn't remember her previous exercise/working out due to her brain damage in the "Who Pooped the Bed?" episode.

I told a friend of mine that earlier, and he reminded me that Danny Devito was in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's been so long since I've watched it that I completely forgot he was in it.

I think it could be Philadelphia. I know the letters don't work, but it's not like he can read anyway. I was actually trying to figure out what it really said, and I think it's that.

This was just a hilarious episode. I love how they still went out to the car and got the Steve Winwood CD. They are just the worst humans on earth, so self-centered. I just love every aspect of the episode.
