I actually first thought the joke was that he didn't really put chloroform on the napkin and was basically just suffocating him.

I think it was said last week, but it's quite interesting to see how the show is always a little bit "clumsy" when it tries to go for the Curb Your Enthusiasm "it all comes together" ending.  Jenny delivered that bit with the edible underwear exactly the way someone would on Curb (reminded me a lot of how Rob Corddry…

I probably did find the first one funnier (I was amazed by how much I enjoyed the Taco bit, and the impotent masturbation stuff was killer), but it seems strange to ignore the second one in the review.

On the drama front, not sure what would be better (and with perennial top comedies like Parks & Recreation stumbling thus far this season, I'm not sure there's a higher-quality show in the comedy genre either).  You can make a case for TWD after the superb half-season, but somehow, I feel like saying "The Walking Dead…
