"Honestly, here’s where we get into some alternately profound and tedious
arguments about what whether children’s cartoons have some kind of
responsibility to teach their young viewers about better ways to live
their lives and see the world…"

This. Instead of looking up at the ceiling of the church (talking to God), he looks down at the floor of the church (talking to Satan). It was a pretty clear-cut message, I don't know how the author of the review misinterpreted it.

I think HJB's voice sounds way too young for Dipper and Mabel's great great uncle.

Agent Cooper in Gravity Falls…I would die from excitement.

I'll accept this if season 3 is Stan's. Definitely my favorite character.

I totally ship Stoos

Archer is a mishmash of a bunch of different post-1940 decades (1960's fashion, 1980's computers, modern cell phones, etc.) so I usually give it a pass for historical accuracy. The fact that the show takes place in that weird time conglomerate universe makes it all the more interesting, IMO

"But what I really, really can't agree enough with is the sheer awesomeness that is your point 4. Is it a commentary on the show's nihilism?"

2 years later, and I just got to this episode. Spot on review for the most part, except for the gripes about Hershel's "racism". Could someone please explain to me how calling Glenn an Asian boy is racist? For one, Glenn IS Asian. If Hershel called him some racial slur, that would be something completely different.…

Completely agree. Brian is a more complex character than a lot of people realize.

Yes! I'll take closet-gay, pop culture savvy Stewie over world domination Stewie any day.

No idea what Thurm is rambling on about. This was a great episode, in my opinion. One of the best in a while, actually. Peter gets called on his selfishness and loses his friends for it, first off. Stewie getting back into the Zac Sawyer character was awesome, as well.

I was a bit pissed at Hayley this episode, considering that Jeff is currently searching 47,000 planets just to be with her.

Funny how even Verizon store managers are more useful to society than Kevin McFarland.

Kevin McFarland is a fucking idiot. That is all.
