I really liked that episode, but yeah. That part was fuckin' gross. Like, at least it wasn't painted by the show as some aspirational moment, all "gosh, wouldn't it be great, Venture fans, if two girls wanted to hold you down, etc." It was something horrifying happening to Dean. But still, just... eeeeeeugh.

Dr. Quymm can't be worst, it has "thanks for that new personal low", Doc rolling off the front of the truck, and "Getting my rear end kicked by a loving Orangutan".

Doc's absolute revulsion upon realizing that she's Epileptic is hilarious.

I've always hated Love Bheits. Watching it again a couple years ago in my rewatch, it wasn't as bad as I thought. But the idea of there being a really lovely dictatorship on the border of Michigan or whatever just seemed really gross.

They really had no idea what to do with Underland or the Baron, either.

Yeah everything with Unterland just sucks and feels out of place. Underbeit has a few good moments but only in episodes that aren't about him. And then I guess he dies offscreen on Gargantua 2, along with Fat Chance? They're never seen again

Seconding State Dinner, but everything else that's been listed, nah, those are great. 'Bright Lights, Dean City' rubs me the wrong way, nothing pays off in a satisfying way at all.

I don't know why, but The Monarch seeing and recognizing Chuck Scarsdale, not putting 2 and 2 together re: Captain Sunshine, but shouting,"It's Chuck Scarsdale! Let's get out of here before he puts us on the news!" and cheesing it cracks me up every time I think about it

It's not a bottom tier episode, but "What goes down must come up" feels like a whole episode written to work in the joke about the Firestarter music video ('I'm trapped in a sewer with a confessed arsonist!").

The final line before the credits is so good. Rusty slip-n-sliding through the yard on a wave of sewage and the credits smash cut mid “aw poo poo.”

Bright Lights, Dean City also has the first appearence of fan favorite Scare Bear. I love that scene since it shows that even super villians are scared of his appearence. "Aaaannnnnndddd he's got a knife....." always gets me. Phantom Limb can kill people with his magic hands and deflect bullets with them too but is still scared of some bum with a knife, its great.

I think Bright Lights alsonsuffers by being directly linked to Who's Coming to Hank's or w/ev because that one is fantastic. And yeah the Doc B-Plot there is great

It's been a while but the commentaries say that Everyone goes to Hanks and Dean City were one episode originally but they had too many ideas for the Hank story and pushed and stretched the Dean plot into its own episode. or maybe it was the reverse? I forget

Sash! posted:Brock's reluctance to ask where Dean is afterwards was a sign of a true and honorable warrior. There’s been extensive talk here about how similar or not Harley Quinn is to this show, but I feel like you can draw a direct line from that scene to the scene in HQ where Harley gives a guy cancer by pointing a WayneTech gun at him and it turns out the gun gives you cancer and they’re all questioning why anyone would make that gun at all and she just has to apologize and leave feeling really bad.

drat, I love Bright Lights. It does feel a bit like half an episode, though. I think if it was intercut with Everybody Comes to Hank's as a longer Special it would work better.

Yeah they talked it that one in the Hodgman special feature. I think Doc cranked out the full script for Everybody Come to Hank's in like, a day. It was the easiest writing process he ever had on the show. So Jackson had to expand on the planned Dean half of the episode into Bright Lights. Ep is good for the characters it introduces more for it's plot is something you can say about a lot of TV, not just this show.

I was always too busy laughing at the first part. This show was too good for this world. I also like every scene like this because you just know there are pages upon pages of other jokes and characters they couldn't fit in.

Especially after Dean screams and the one just looks at him, cockeyed. "Honey, I'm fixed. What's your excuse?" The delivery is just perfect. Also also, in honor of page 666! That was total movie cool! And Torrid actually said "abra kadabra"! I always thought that was a fake magic word.
