"Hi, my name is Ladybird. I like long walks, my arthritis medication, and two cups of kibble a day. I'll try to outsmart you and get three cups, but I know you're too clever for that, Ms. Platter." "I don't know, Uncle Hank. She did write this letter." I always liked the Japanese episode and that exchange might be my absolute favorite one in the series. Luanne is such a great character. And I'm glad that they're going to be doing something with Bobby and Connie again to (essentially) end the series. I was always a bit annoyed at how she basically seemed to drop into the background once her and Bobby broke up. She's great in the cheerleading episode, though. "I put on this outfit and it's like... what's the opposite of invisible? I've never had to know before!"

change my name posted:Bobby, I do not know how a giraffe got into the nativity scene, but I like it. Stay right here, I'm going to see if I can find a zebra. I love that episode because drat near every line is hilarious. "I'll probably die in my house, wedged behind the bathroom door, inaccessible to the paramedics. Well, what can you do?" I think the only episode I've ever seen that's really annoyed me was the one where Hank becomes this ultra-protectionist parent who secretly likes some boy band so he chaperones a date for Bobby and one of Connie's friends to their concert and proceeds to flip out when he sees their dance moves. He basically goes completely overboard on the "acceptable for children" parenting thing and his foils are two people on the completely opposite end who pretty much don't even watch their kids. By the end of the episode they're obviously wrong and Hank's the one in the right but he spent the entire episode on the other extreme to the point where going to an Amish village was the only acceptable date for Bobby and his girlfriend. That always got on my nerves. Well that and the fact that I'm pretty sure they completely ignore the entire thing anyway by the next episode with absolutely no mention of that girl being made afterwards, despite that her and Bobby are still together at the end of the episode.

I wish I could remember the exact quote but the scene were Lucky explains to Bobby why he has to stay with him and Luanne was great. Something about there being a killer on the loose going after all the children in the neighborhood, then he turns back and gives everyone a knowing wink while Bobby stands there horrified.

Seeing it last night reminded me of just how much I love the Powder Puff episode. Everything about it is great, especially Principal Moss faking the heart attack to get out of being the tiebreaking vote. Plus it's got a ton of Coach Kleehammer. "Oooh, who's gay in the PTA?"

BlueBayou posted:Whenever I want to introduce someone to the show, I show them Three Coaches and a Bobby. Its just perfect. The characters are displayed well, the plot is fun, and its a great example of a famous guest star not being shoehorned in. "Breaks your heart, doesn't it? Take a salt tablet." Also, that was the episode "I hear it has special effects!" which, as has pretty much been stated, is one of the best lines in the entire series.

Darth Freddy posted:I still think Bobby picking Conny in the hand mirror is still one of the most heart warming moments in the show if not the biggest. It's too bad that like two seasons later they break up anyway and Connie is practically written out of the show beyond maybe a few cursory lines a few times a season. That's one of the few things about the show that really annoyed me.

twistedmentat posted:Hah, I hate that stupid stuff too. I mean, not everything has some deep meaning behind it. Also, some people can't admit they misheard something. That episode is great. I think between the Fred Eberd thing, Hank being mortified and legit concerned that Dubya's limp handshake could make him a weak president and the voting spiel during the credits it's Hank at his... Hankiest, I guess. And the scene where Luanne tries to convince Hank to vote communist using the Manger Babies will never get old. Suben fucked around with this message at Mar 6, 2010 around 23:05 |

Skadi posted:Bobby: "Smells better than a jock strap." Minh was always kind of underused it seems which is a shame. The episode where she joins the gun club is one of the most  episodes in the entire series.Also, the dog dancing episode reminds me that I'm really surprised Ladybird never died at some point in the series. Like every episode about her, it always comes off as "she's old and doesn't have much time left" and I keep expecting her to just lay down and welp that's it.

Chibs posted:That's what the elves call justice of the unicorns. His smug expression and just the way he walks away after saying that is hilarious. Also, the Fort Berk episode has one of my favorite Cotton lines. "What the--!? You made a bowl?" He says it in just about the most perfectly condescending tone I have ever heard.

hall n oates mom posted:No, it's a really fun episode. Weak B-story, though. The B-story is worth it for that scene where Luanne is singing her christmas song and is so proud of it and it cuts to a haggard-looking Nancy with a cop next to her. "That's real nice, sug, but right now I have to file a missing person's report."

Skadi posted:I know I'm probably alone, but in general Bill annoys the hell out of me and it's particularly annoying when he doesn't get his comeuppance in an episode where he's being stupid, like this one. I always hated that Valentine's episode where he decides to turn Bobby into as much of a pathetic wreck as he is. Granted I don't think he was doing it to be an rear end in a top hat but, well, it's still one of the more screwed up things I've seen on the show.

That Canadians episode might be the first time I have ever just straight up disliked an episode of this show. The plot was dumb, NONE of the characters on either side were remotely likable and it just... ends. It wasn't even particularly funny or entertaining outside of the Boomhauer stuff. Speaking of is it safe to assume that much like Laoma, Boomhauer's French-Canadian girlfriend from this episode is never mentioned again?

El Boot posted:"Under the bleachers? Oh god, that's where kids at risk gather!" On one hand, that was a pretty funny episode. On the other, it's an episode with Hank being kind of an irrational jackass over something dumb but the "wrong" side is written to such a ridiculous extreme that he's right anyway. They did the same thing in the episode where Hank's trying to keep Bobby away from things that might "corrupt" him and the moral winds up being "hey overparenting your kid might be kind of lame but JUST THINK OF HOW MUCH WORSE IT COULD BE?"

His lines are funny and the way Tom Petty delivers them in this matter-of-fact manner is fantastic. The entire thing from "Lucky See, Monkey Do" about taking life lessons from monkeys and the way he keeps bringing it up throughout the episode is great.

hall n oates mom posted:No, Donna is always in accounting regardless of her appearance. This is made abundantly clear in "Lost in Myspace". No, I mean I thought there were two Donnas who worked at Strickland: there was Donna who was white and worked there throughout the series and the other was Donna from Accounting who was fat and hispanic. IIRC Donna came in after Peggy who got hired after Donna from Accounting was fired.

Was there a reason she stopped being a substitute teacher? Was it in the episode where she pretended to be a nun or something? I just kind of remember her not being a substitute teacher anymore and then she goes to work for the Arlen Bystander.
