@avclub-3733fc24dc2351f3d3ba80b890e3a3e4:disqus …  why should they quit? If they like working 10 weeks a year, and they can afford to work 10 weeks a year, why the fuck not?

The NSA agent convincing the guy with "star spangled Montezuma's Revenge" made up for the rest of that bit, I felt.

Hostages was bad, but it was very stupid bad. This was just barely intelligent enough to make the idiocy of the protagonists painful

As soon as he said he knew how firearms worked, I wondered about that. But he just saw a bunch of people using automatic rifles and pump action shotguns last episode, right? He at least heard it, in a gunfight involving three people. It had to be on his mind recently.

Sometimes you need a president dead right this minute but also after long preparation and stalking of a family of future hostages

In order of likelihood (not knowing how stupid your "very" is)

Just to catch everybody up: Daughter is pregnant, son is dealing or smoking weed, husband has a mistress.
Every time the hostage takers found or revealed one of these things, it got funnier.

Just yesterday I felt bad for spoiling that book for someone.

best part of the episode.

At the end of the bridge scene, we needed a "we're going to need some more FBI guys"

While I frequently enjoy that sort of thing, there's a sort of thing that relies on characters simply being so horrendously stupid to drive the plot that I can't watch, and that's what was going on for a lot of this episode

Starting from about 16 minutes in, I struggled to wait to go online and discuss how incredibly bad this was, and how those were

I don't expect most AV Club readers to be familiar with the episode. It didn't occur to the OP, who was 8 when it happened.

Pretty much a good rule to never fly internationally on an American airline unless you really have to.

Should be pointed out that this aired 9 months after Michael Fay was caned in Singapore for vandalism.

On occasion, these segments feature businesses that didn’t even get a
deal from any of the investors, which seems odd until you realize that
it’s all about demonstrating the “power of Shark Tank”

Cuban was pretty pissy that episode.  Half grade bump up for the shot of Mr. Wonderful walking, which always amuses me for some reason

One of them had something weird with her eyes, like her eyelids were missing

You'd think it would be harder to get a loan when the bank owner has to ask "What's Steve the Drunk's surname?" even when it's the guy who knocked her up asking for it
