Has Not Actually Done Cocaine

galenanorth posted:

Watching through Season 13. In the one where Bill gets pre-diabetes, the best thing about Bill episodes like these are the guest characters like the doctor and the athlete in the wheelchair that befriends Bill. The amount that he binges looks like enough to put even a normal person into the emergency room. The other day, a bus driver pointed out Krispy Kreme and I overheard a passenger say he once ate 11 donuts in one sitting and felt like he almost died.

I'd expected this episode to be part of Mike Judge's conservative trend, but it was a good episode, and Hank even gives a speech about efficient light-bulbs. The worst thing this episode does is tell "yuppie liberals are dumb" jokes, like thinking Happy Feet is a documentary and have them fall all over Buck Strickland in a kind of misogynist way, when it was already doing a fine job skewering rich yuppies with everything else. Dale technically does something illegal all the time, but usually it's something like zero-stakes identity theft; he'd have gone to jail for fraud in this one if anyone had gotten what Hank said on stage

That doctor was such an rear end in a top hat, him getting his rear end beaten at the end of the episode made it one of the most satisfying Bill plots for that reason

The Aguamoose

"Yes, I remember the Aguamoose..."
A few years ago, my girlfriend was extremely drunk and I cooked some spaghetti and started feeding it to her while she was sat in bed to try to sober her up / give her a less painful hangover. Too drunk to communicate properly, after feeding her some of the spaghetti she said 'P-eeeeeeeggy Hill. It's.... Peggy... Hill' and then let me feed her some more.

I can only assume the spaghetti made her think of Spa-peggy and meatballs and that was the only way she was able to express that thought, and it still makes me laugh to remember it.

Eleven donuts sounds more like the "I felt like I could literally burst open" kind of died.

I once ate one of those gigantic family sharing meatballs somewhere and was pretty sure it had killed me because I felt like every bump in the road was going to cause some sort of rupture.

There's a Mythbusters episode where they see what it would take to actually make a stomach explode and it's basically impossible to do through overeating. Armed with this knowledge I've spent the last 20 years gorging myself, consequence free.

Agreed, skip ahead enough that Bobby is in High School and GH and Gracie are both old enough to be actual characters seems like a good one to me(plus gives enough of a gap to write out Luanne & Lucky without having their deaths* be a fresh tragedy)

*can't really recast them and just having them say move away and never appear onscreen would be incredibly lame

goes in to get her foot bones smashed and put back together in a smaller size, and gets into one of those medical mixups, and ends up with giant boobs.

Also I'd turn it off if Lucky and/or Luann end up in prison; like it's entirely possible, and the easiest way to write them out, but they built up so much of their character growth on those two not going to prison it would be a cheap shot.

Exactly and yeah that's why I'm suggesting just killing them off and having Hank & Peggy adopt Gracie(and GH while we're at it) during the timeskip, it's the least awful solution

One thing the writers always had a handle on was how to make Dale a lovable conspiracy theorist crackpot and not a realistically off-putting right-wing SovCit nutjob. His beliefs were always rooted in real-world paranoia but would inevitably spin off into their own charming, harmless Gribbleness.

Dale personified the fun "Yeah I sawr a UFO once" version of Coast to Coast AM, not the "You claim that Jew Lizards run the World Bank, and I'm not going to challenge a thing you have to say because it's exactly what I want to hear" version.

That's because the real government isn't even in Washington so called "DC." George X Bush, the clone of George W Bush moved the real government as far away from salty snacks, to northern Alaska in 2005, following the pretzel choking death of the W model. Don't you even watch Dale's twitch?

I do worry about how much you could just ignore modern conspiracy stuff though. The Dale type of conspiracy theorist just isn't as prevalent anymore. As someone who likes to read and keep an eye on conspiracy community stuff it's been a bummer how bad it's all gotten. I guess the other path would be to just make deal a full UFO dude.

That would by the second act twist. Strickland Propane would see a surge of chud customers wanting to see the "Based Gas Man" and Hank would get his job back. Then at the end he would find a way to get Buck to stop catering to extremists because "propane shouldn't be political, I tell you what".
