For the first 27 minutes or so of this episode I thought it was the funniest episode of the season to date, but it just kind of ended with a thud. Skewering the Aspergers case was perfectly consistent with Larry’s persona in previous seasons, be it people with physical handicaps or those suffering from various…

Edd’s no longer there so that cannot happen.
