HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I liked this episode up until the end. I hate hate hate when shows portray a family that has money troubles and then they do something sooooooooooo bad like spend 499.99 on a new couch then let some kids set it on fire so they can have a trash couch.

I want the Belchers to have a nice couch :(

Yeah, this is true. But I also know that the broken couch is going to join the awesome continuity this show has, and we'll see it for the rest of the show, just like the ice cream machine with bite marks.

When you're working poor you literally cannot afford to be sentimental over broken poo poo.

Best moment of the episode goes to:
"He left a note...it says 'Checkmate.'"

"Why am I doin' this!"
"You guys react weird to good news."
"We should get one silly one, just for sillies..."

I think my favorite was when Tina and Gene were stuck in the high chairs, then suddenly the Jester comes in stuck in the high chair. I definitely laughed the hardest at that in the episode.

They could afford 500 for the couch, and now they have the couch they wanted. Checks out to me.

Me too. We just bought a new sofa last summer and I'm pretty sure had this exact sales guy, right down to the complete surprise when they said they'd buy it.

There was such a buildup to this joke, with the Jester guy making a point of the "you break it you bought it" policy, that I assumed Tina and Gene would end up breaking the high chairs, causing them to have to pay for them and no longer be able to afford the $499.99 couch.

It was not as bad as that Double Dare episode a few years back, but come on. I get the show does not want them to have all the nice things, but now they have a couch that is not safe to sit on, forever. this felt contrived as hell.

I know, but I still didn't like it. Probably because I've had to deal with crappy furniture in real life, it's not fun. Take the new comfy couch that doesn't smell or give you back pain!

A cartoon that portrays, more accurately than most shows, a family that struggles to make ends meet while pouring their life into the family business.

Does the restaurant still have that bizzare modern minimalist black bathroom downstairs? I loved that poo poo.
