Barry's constant cheerful exclamation about his health and home life are hilarious.

Although that redhead bully whose name I can't recall is fast becoming my favorite. "I'm an animal! A broken, filthy animal!!!"

I'd rather do another one of my uncle's secret basement movies!

...but I got too old. :smith:

Also "she tastes like a ballgag!" is a pretty solid line.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Barry's great. I've gotten a good number of laughs and some funny looks by asking "why does this taste like a ball gag"

Which episodes do you avoid watching again if they come up?

For me I think it's the Thanksgiving one with Stan's half brother, I just remember it being particularly awful. Plus the requisite American Fung.

That one slays me for the evil laugh turning into a hey heya chant.

And the house being a pumphouse for the fountains.

And a whole day of running away not being enough to get off his land.

I think I only watch from after the Saudi Arabia two parter. Looking through Wikipedia's list of episodes for ones I don't like, there's a few that I don't think I've ever seen going by their descriptions. "When a Stan Loves a Woman" doesn't sound familiar to me at all.

I normally skip the Stan Goes to Prison episode, it has its moments but it’s sandwiched with a bunch of other “Stan experiences a thing, becomes obsessed with it.” Episodes and its on the weaker side of the scale.

In the episode where they were talking about Sprint or whoever's coverage (I think the conspiracy episode) I think they actually left the coverage dead zone in that west virginia quiet place or whatever it's called. It's an odd attention to detail.

Someone would have to screenshot it.

Nah, in another part of paranoid frandroid. Roger's bragging about the coverage because he allowed corporate sponsorship in the paranoid convention and at one point he's pointing out the one place Francine could be. I think they actually looked the actual place up. It's also in Maryland and Virginia too.

There is like 5 or 6 episodes I skip when they come up, but the only 2 I remember right now are the Native American Thanksgiving with Stan's brother, and the one where Stan wants to be a best man Luis' wedding.

Some bad opinions on bad episodes bro.

I actually encourage it because I'm looking over the episodes and trying to think about which ones I hate and there are... insanely few? Fung seems to be the major go to. And some of the early ones people don't care for. I'm going to give it a once over later today.

There will be bad blood has an awesome title and is solid though and I swear to god....

American Fung is great in my opinion, and not even close to how bad My morning jacket is.

Stan forgets his anniversary so he gets Francine committed and ends up getting lobotomies with a power drill. It touches on how they try to write in a new main character for a show and have them solve the an easy problem. I kinda like the live action part because Fung kinda comes off as he could make the show work butttt he just sells the show for a profit to some guy who changes everything.

I also like the talent show at the hospital.

Just one more thing!
After season 10 I stopped watching this show for 2 years, kept meaning to come back to it and finally did this weekend and it just makes me laugh and laugh. How is this show still so funny after so long?

I remember I just used to let it run on Netflix in the background, the humor in the show just keeps working on me. Not sure what my favorite bit in season 11 is yet but I'm partial to the Roger persona whose twin brother isn't Roger but their mother is also Roger, and the CIA's plan to get Stan into the baseball stadium.

Reginald's theme song is still the best thing associated with the character, but what's really underrated was that whole subplot leading up to it, with Klaus and the concert tickets.

Yeah, he's fine. Outside of the first season which is kinda fun in the same way season 2 of the simpsons is, I can honestly say there's less than a hand's worth of skipable episodes. And even then, they're usually alright.

Because the whole "Hayley and Reginald date" subplot is very poorly written and irritating and it turned people off the character. Like, the scenes he's in where he's NOT dating Hayley are great (Him on his boat, him fighting Bollock in a field), but people mostly associate him with one very unfunny subplot that lasted way longer than it should have and drags down every episode it's featured in.

I liked the first season. They definitely relied too much on being "political" over funny, but I think it's pretty solid if you can distinguish it from the subsequent seasons.
