The callback to "I left my wife for a prostitute" was an amazing button to an already amazing episode. If that line doesn't come back at least one more time before the season's end, I'm gonna be fairly disappointed.

The one background detail of this episode that made me burst out laughing for no reason was the credit for Special Guest Star David Schwimmer during the opening Grinder clip. (And the real Previously On being immediately followed by the show within a show Previously On was also great).

I'm stoked that Richard Harmon is a regular this season, which is something I wouldn't have expected to be stoked about even half a season ago. The montage of Murphy in the bunker was a great scene for both exposition purposes and just great scene purposes.

I feel they missed an opportunity to make this a Frankenstein firefighter show. Now that could've been mildly interesting.

"Bam! A soda only costs 75 cents! See you later sucka!" "…Didn't even give him the dollar".

"I'm gonna make this guy confess to crimes he hasn't even committed yet". Clearly Gina watched Making a Murderer over the break.

Well there was that episode of Parks where one of the citizens was calling Leslie Hitler. Maybe this guy is onto something.

My plan not to read any reviews until after I saw the movie Friday went out the window 30 seconds after the embargo broke. I'm a weak man. But a happy one. Even this B review has me stoked.

This may have been one of the most tense episodes of TV I've seen all year. The moment the festival policy was revealed I spent the rest of the episode dreading something terrible would happen. And what actually happened was heartbreaking, but not as bad as I feared.

"Did Breast Cancer affect you personally in some way?" "No". Great episode AND 5000 dollars was raised for Breast Cancer research. Win-win.

"The gunman has been killed so you are now free to move around the hotel again". "Someone was killed?" I wish we could've seen the rest of that conversation, but cutting from that to Nathan talking about how reassured Corey's grandparents were was terrific.

The Nail Salon segment wasn't as great as the Fun segment but I was genuinely caught off-guard when it suddenly shifted from "valet service" to "we have to discredit the stereotype about Asian women being bad drivers". I clapped when that happened (I wound up clapping a lot during this episode).

That part alone was enough to make the segment a winner.

I got my biggest laugh of this great episode from William Devane. "We lived a rock and roll lifestyle. It was a different time". "It was 5 years ago!" "Rock and roll never dies, Stu." Gold.

"Will you look at those morons? I paid my taxes over a year ago". "Dad!" "What is it sweetie? Did you see a scary picture in your picture book?" Of all the times Homer has been misguidedly condescending, this may be my favourite because of the way Dan Castellaneta says picture book.

Yeah, as a Canuck myself, I was glad to see Nathan hadn't forgotten his roots.

For me, the funniest detail of the Fun Isolation Box is the NASA-esque sticker that just says "Space!" I cracked up everytime I saw that damn thing.

Do you remember the trailer for Bojack's first season? It did not look capable of doing that either. Which just made its brilliance even better. This looks terrible though while Bojack merely looked mediocre, so you're probably right.

Yeah. I was caught off-guard by how heartwarming that was.

Only 72? That's actually pretty impressive.
