Hyrax Attack!
Jan 13, 2009

We demand to be taken seriously

Song For The Deaf posted:

I’m rewatching the series, and for the first time I’m noticing a hard line where things start to get iffy.

Season 12.

There are some good episodes, but you’ve got a lot of episodes about lovely social messages, usually brought about by an interloping straw man.

Raise the Steaks: Hank joins a food co-op and teaches hippies how to run a business, who then turn around, get greedy, and sell the store to Mega-Lo-Mart.

Dang it. Raise the Steaks gets thrown under the bus a lot but it’s one of my favorites. It has so many great Hank moments, like how he’s the only grocery employee who knows how to work a power loader, and when he thinks having hemp toilet paper will get him arrested.

Hank: “I bought some steaks here yesterday, and they weren't very good.”

Meglo-Mart employee: “Maybe you cooked them wrong.”

Hank: “Uh, you don't know me, so I'll pretend I didn't hear that.”

Of the ones I listed, Raise the Steaks is probably the best. It’s got good goofs, like Hank outright fetishizing making the cattle happy so they will taste better.

It's the best steak I have ever eaten. Peggy, I think we need to say grace again.

There are episodes that , while they are good, certain parts make me cringe because of the faux pas and misunderstandings.
I still say the best episode is Soldier of Misfortune where dales gun accidentally goes off.

It has everything. Pocket sand, Peggy saying Penis, I am mister Big, and Gary Busey.

Finished my second rewatch and my wife's first ever watch. It's just so good. It gets kinda weird after Cotton dies though. My wife was shocked and I told her not to worry, they only mention it like 1 time ever again.

I like the final bit where he gets a picture of the cows living happily on a farm and he just smiles and says "they look delicious." its a good gag that hank only cares about this stuff because it results in better steaks, that's a very hank thing to do

The one episode I don't like is the one where they're at the airport for Thanksgiving. It just spends the entire time making GBS threads on Hank with no payoff.

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
The day before Thanksgiving is, in my opinion, a great episode.

Also, Clown College is great if not just for having Paul F Tompkins as the professor.

as for great episodes after cotton dies, the one where they have to flush cotton's ashes in the crapper is :discourse:

That one is weird since they had a two parter involving Cotton fighting for his plot at Arlington National Cemetery.

I guess it wouldn't be too outrageous for him to just have the marker placed and his remains somewhere else.

I first saw SerPUNT with my best friend, who is a vegetarian who will go out of her way to safely stop her car and help snakes and turtles cross the road, and she was laughing so hard she was wheezing when they got to the part where they were killing Josh the snake in the sewer. She told me, "that is the hardest I have ever laughed at the death of an animal"; so no matter what else, that episode gave me that.

The drunken drama of Hank and Peggy getting really down on themselves and both trying to squeeze into a trash can is weird but oddly touching.

And then they go for pancakes in the morning.
