Yup, Prison Break-In (the episode where the Tobias graft stuff comes to a head [budumcha]) is easily the worst AD episode. It's genuinely not fun to watch, and that's pretty surprising given that nearly every other AD episode is some of the best TV ever made.

My interpretation was always that this was supposed to be a nod toward the idea that they keep reusing the same banner. There is no "the banner" or "a banner." There is only banner. I'm not sure the joke actually works, but Arnett sells it with such goddamn enthusiasm that it became one of my favorite lines in AD.

He's a pretty terrible person as well.

If the girl was in the habit of seducing men and had shown to be exceedingly sexual and sort of creepy, no, I don't think it would be all that problematic.

She's not going to rape him. Clark's an adult, and I seriously doubt he has a problem sexxing up a MILF like Jan.

Everyone seems to be hating on this, but I'm at least mildly optimistic. A primetime, network series, starring a black man who is legitimately funny and with a premise that's at least a little bit more interesting than "Dude with a wife and kids, GO!"

Totally agree. Add to that, it simply wasn't funny. In fact, it might well be the least funny "comedy" I've seen in years. And that's including Gentlemen Broncos and Hot Rod.

Definitely the high point of the episode, for me. The Bang Song is one of my favorite HIMYM jokes.
