In regards to the spoiler:

Spoiler:
It looks like the cast and writers will have a big role this episode


And while the show has been consistently funny this season, this was what made the first 2 seasons absolute gold. So I'm looking forward to it.

Is the Funcooker related to the Cornballer in any way?

Jury Duty? I guess Leia failed her.

Here comes the Funcooker!

Nice try Liz. Now it's my turn.



The bit about the towels being thrown out made me spit out my drink.

ETA: Best episode this season. No contest IMHO.

HITLER

hilarious. Loved seein Leia again "Excuse me Imperial Guard"
and Frank's mentioning of a "hot richard". I'd never heard of it before (only the dreaded hot carl) but I figured it was something hilarious so I googled it and have been laughing for the past ten minutes about it.

Loved the fact that the research for the anti-sleeping pills was funded by the US Military and the WNBA.

I think the best line was Tracy talking about mentioning stuff that Ernest Borgnine whispered to him.

I liked the part where Jack entered the writers room with the microwave and said "Shut up Shut up"

This was an ok episode but the last 4 shows were better.

maybe it was daylight savings time but I was not into this episode.

Agreed. Everything just worked perfectly. Plus, the reappearance of Liz Leia and a nice part for Dr. Spaceman.

I thought the name "Fun Cooker" was pretty lame... wasn't sure where they were going with that... thought they could have come up with much funnier names. Then the bit at the end, made it all clear, and tremendously hilarious.

Loved this line from Dr. Spaceman:

"Take 25 of these a day for the rest of your life."

The guy's delivery is absolute gold.

Dr. Spaceman is not an integral part of the show, but everytime he shows up, it makes the episode that much better.

Also, I just realized that Rachel Dratch hasn't been on the show since season 1. Clearly she didn't bring much to the show since it took me almost 2 years to realize she was gone.

Didn't think that the episode was great, but I loved the WNBA line.
