Darkman Fanpage posted:Kaluha, chocolate syrup, and red Kool-Aid. Hammer gives the secret to its awfulness in the commentary on the DVD: the proportions of the ingredients. If memory serves, the vast majority of the Red Moco Cooler is chocolate syrup, there's a cocktail-appropriate amount of Kahlua, and then there's a tiny bit of red Kool-Aid poured on top. Like, just a skin of the red stuff. The point was that in real life, it'd be undrinkable.

Wonder if it would taste better if mixed with more sensible proportions?(also I'll admit I've never had rum, but a Ruddy Bottom doesn't sound too bad if made right, but then I really like Grenadine in my drinks)

The episode with the hunchback dean clone is an autoskip for me, i cant of any redeeming gags but i havent watched it in a while. Dr Qymm has Doc ragdolling off the jeep and Dean's best line in the show "Brock, this is like the saddest thing ever". and both of those are laugh-til-u-cry moments for me.

It's Me, Dean., but Careers in Science and Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner? are my least fav mostly because of Colonel Bud Manstrong. Are You There God? It's Me Dean though? The Monarch vs. Brock b-plot is one of the high points of season 1.

It's sort of weird that Dermot is just kind of gone now. His character got a lot of focus in the past couple of seasons, and he's Hank and Dean's half brother. I never much cared for him, but it's still kind of strange to have him missing for a whole season.

My guess is the main reason he hasn't shown up this past season was if he was around he'd torpedo Hank's chances with Sirena, while now that they've successfully hit it off, him coming in will make for an entertaining complication, also his "mom" will probably want to try and get some money out of Rusty now that he's rich

Nah, Hunchback Dean has everything with Hank and Dermott thinking they killed Dean and need to go on the run, which is fantastic, and also the entire climax is like a perfectly organized collision of four different plots into one magical clusterfuck. And it gives Urbaniak a bunch of great material to work with as hallucination Doc. The real weakest episode is the pilot. drrockso20 posted:My guess is the main reason he hasn't shown up this past season was if he was around he'd torpedo Hank's chances with Sirena, while now that they've successfully hit it off, him coming in will make for an entertaining complication, also his "mom" will probably want to try and get some money out of Rusty now that he's rich I can see Dermott showing up to make things awkward with Hank and Sirena, but I don't see Mrs. Fictel trying to shake Rusty down for money considering, at least to my memory, she was disgusted when he tried to offer them support money when told Nikki was pregnant.

RandallODim posted:The real weakest episode is the pilot. Oh no, I really agree here. I put off watching this show for ages after turning off the pilot halfway through. I gave it another chance just before the new season started, though, and now I guess I'm waiting with the rest of you.  And I really have a soft spot for Past Tense as my favorite episode

Picking a favorite episode would be really hard. Maybe the phantom limb prison escape one? "chuck is the muscle" kills me, guild history is awesome. Prom is of course awesome. Wes warhammer is up there. I think careers in science is pretty bad. From the later seasons, I think I only skip the hunchback Dean one. I kind of like Dr Quymm - orangutan boxing, "broken arrow", desperate rusty suddenly being disgusted by epilepsy were all funny.

And also that episode had "Hank, just because he's black doesn't mean he has the Shining." - I didn't like how that guy ended up actually being that stereotype but that line was gold. e: And the best episode is The Lepidopterists. And the best back-to-back episode pair is that and O.R.B. because they were really on a roll there at the end of S3.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I agree with this. The bit where Dermott burns Hank's driver's license is brilliant and then the "high-speed" escape on the tour bus thing and Hank dropping Dermott off. The final line (Doc saying "Who the hell was that?" about the Dean clone who had been driving the entire plot) always kills me. Perfect delivery.

Gotta go with Dr.Quymn for weakest episode. Aside from a few funny bits it's an overall boring episode with an uninteresting plot.

Here's what you do: Write all the episode titles on note cards Divide them evenly into bottom, middle, and top tier piles Subdivide each group into three tiers Continue subdividing until you have sorted every episode against its closest peers Fine tune as needed You have now determined every episode's rank! It's what Billy would do

WrathOfBlade posted:Yeah, Mid-life Chrysalis is probably the episode with the fewest points in its favor. Although I still might rewatch it before Careers in Science. One redeeming factor in favor of "Mid-life Chrysalis" is that when Doc fully transforms to the giant caterpillar, he expresses concern at Hank's total lack of concern. Hank then reminds him that they see very odd things all the time, and the only difference here is that Doc is the odd thing. Doc later expresses a similar sentiment when he explains his appearance as just something that'll happen when you mess with superscience a lot. He puts it nicely: "I pissed in God's eye, and he blinked." "Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean" is a great episode, if for no other reason than the fact that it is probably the very first episode to really move away from the show being a Johnny Quest parody and toward more of a deconstruction of the genre. After all, this kind of crap couldn't just keep happening all the time, because sooner or later someone's going to defeat the other person. This show begins to show that there's a gigantic bureaucracy behind villainy. And, presumably, behind the good-guy side, too, seeing as how there are apparent agreements, treaties, and rules that both sides have to play by, including one that forbids a villain from carrying out his or her plans while one of the heroes is sick (or something like that). There's a whole procedure. Monarch lampshades the fact that it makes no sense to seek medical attention to a hostage who is about to be killed, but it doesn't matter--and that's a brilliant way of showing the level of work that has gone into creating a situation where villains can arch heroes pretty much forever, with neither side ever really getting the upper hand.

I honestly think everyone, if they haven't, owes it to themselves to watch the pilot at some point, if only to be able to appreciate how far the show has come. Rewatching it now, even it has some good bits, like Brock 'desecrating' the 'mummy' and "the fleshy jig of the mommy-and-daddy dance", but the writing is so much weaker it's crazy to imagine that we'd get something like Victor, Echo, November from it down the line. Also you get to experience the glorious circa 2003 Flash animation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2F-JSAVWsU Farmer Crack-rear end posted:You're referencing the first aired episode, which is not the pilot.

Dia de los Dangerous is a great episode. "They hit me with a truck" is one of my favorite sequences in the whole show. X_Toad posted:Oh no, she made him pay, but she wanted him out of their life forever after that. Yeah, I wasn't sure if I was misremembering it, and I didn't feel like checking the episode itself. I still don't expect anything to come of it at this point, mostly because it just doesn't feel like something relevant any more, but with this show who even knows.

In one of the commentaries they talk about how far the characterizations have come. Urbaniak keeps doing 'They're robot bones!' and I can't not laugh at it. This series really does have the best commentary.
