at Alex eating the rat poison because she thought it was her pirate cereal. For some reason, that bit got the biggest laugh from me.

The Dave sex dream stuff was hilarious.

I love Alex. Between her table keg and her delivery of the mini-marathon joke, she'd had me rolling.

And Penny's suicide attempt and the food falling from the fan were pretty awesome too.

One of the best episodes they've done IMO - tons of great lines. I was in tears multiple times. "Yes, that Hanks". "We're really losing the war on drugs if animals are blowing rails".

loved this episode.

Alex and her habit of eating ribs is always great.

The rat poison box was great too.

Also thought the syrup falling from the ceiling fan like blood was hilarious.

Colin Hanks was great. I liked that Dave's big thing about Hanks was Sean Brumder from Orange County.

There were a ton of great punchlines that came out of nowhere for this episode. I think my absolute favorite was when Brad mentioned that you can only sex dreams about people who you are really attracted to. Jane responded by mentioned Brad having a sex dream about Fran Sinclair, the mom dinosaur from the tv Dinosaurs.

I was hoping there would also be a shout out to the Good Guys.

I would so love for this to happen. Eliza Coupe and Elisha Cuthbert want Kiefer Sutherland to guest star as their Dad. That would be so awesome. I hope the producers and Sony Pictures takes their suggestion seriously.

oh that would definitely be awesome. But instead of a federal agent, Kiefer has to be an accountant or something. Just something totally opposite, yet hilarious with his image.

This was probably the best episode ever. I was almost in tears when they mentioned dave "Freddy Krugering" them and he shows up in the Freddy Kruger sweater and hat... So many absurd punchlines... and I really have to see if I can get a set of Pajoveralls.

I thought only Jane said Bitch, and I laughed my ass off when she did.
