History Recap / TheVentureBrosS2E9GuessWhosComingToStateDinner

At dinner, Brock is seated next to Manstrong's mother who is constantly hitting on him and attempts to fondle him under the table. Manstrong is embarrassed by his mother, but she says she is the one who is embarrassed by him, revealing some embarrassing details about him as a boy. Rusty asks Manstrong to put in a good word with President Breyer for him, but Manstrong's mother interrupts, telling Manstrong to "listen to his mother." This statement puts Manstrong into a trance, which is noticed by the ghost of UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln peeking out from his own portrait. Dean sees the ghost and quietly freaks out, unable to get Hank's attention.

Manstrong is invited into the Oval Office, where President Breyer informs him that his administration needs a "squeaky clean" running mate as Vice President in order to have a chance at reelection. Manstrong is happy at first, with the the President offering him a cigar and any one of his secretaries, except "the one in blue that smells like this." He puts his finger under Manstrong's nose, explaining how she "literally" has his name on her, as he wrote his name on her dress with "the tip of his..." Before he can finish, Manstrong gets offended and leaves in a fury. The president buzzes his secretary, asking for a blow job.

Hank and Dean prepare for bed in the Lincoln bedroom as the house keeper takes their clothes (stained with wine from dinner,) to be washed with club soda. Dean is still panicked from seeing the ghost at dinner.

Manstrong meets with his mother, who asks him if he was offered the Vice President job. He says that he was, but was so offended by the president's behavior that he ran away. She tells him to "listen to his mother," causing him to enter a trance-like state, and seek out the president to accept the job offer.

Manstrong and his mother are in the Oval Office with the president when a gun shot is heard. Rusty slips in the door while Brock holds off the secret service agents, barring the door from the inside. Rusty quickly sets up his force field device, but as he takes the remote out of his pocket to activate it, Hauser dives in and breaks the remote control, activating the force field. The president, his secretary, Hauser, Manstrong, his mother, Rusty, and Brock are all trapped in the force field inside the Oval Office with no way to shut it off or contact the outside (it blocks off sound.) Hauser, using post-it notes, lets the other agents know to contact the army and a scientist.

The president's secretary finds a bottle of whiskey in his desk, and it gets passed around to those inside the force field. (Except Hauser who is on duty and Manstrong, who doesn't drink.) Brock tries to apologize to Manstrong for sleeping with Baldavich, but Manstrong doesn't accept. Brock refuses to believe Manstrong's "boyscout act," saying that he and Anna had to sleep together at some point, being alone on Garganuta-1 for years. Manstrong gets up to walk away but his mother, who had been resting on his lap, jumps over to Brock's lap. Manstrong sees this and flies into a rage, challenging Brock to a fight. Brock refuses at first, but Manstrong won't back down.

The {{Stinger}} shows the house keeper dissolving the force field with club soda, much to Jonas Jr's amazement.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Dean and Hank find it too farfetched that Bud is being mind controlled by his mother, even though they're being told this by Lincoln's ghost.

* MommasBoy: Bud Manstrong, doubly so since she is mind controlling him.
* MyBelovedSmother: Manstrong's mother isn't literally mind controlling him, she's just very overbearing.
* MundaneSolution: At the end of the episode, the cleaning lady disolves Rusty's "impenetrable" force field with a little club soda.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Physically and in terms of voice, President Breyer appears to be based on UsefulNotes/LyndonJohnson (southern accent, hairstyle).
* OrphanedPunchline: Hank tells a fellow guest at dinner the joke about a schoolboy named "Johnny Deeper". You can tell it's surprisingly smutty by Hank standards even though the show only includes the punchline.

** Manstrong's line at the end "My God, it's full of stars," is a reference to to Dr. Dave Bowman's final words in ''Film/TwoThousandTenTheYearWeMakeContact.''

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** Manstrong turns out to be a repressed masturbater, per Rusty.
** Rusty himself when he was young and stayed at the White House, per Lincoln's ghost.

** Rusty's impenetratable force field can be dissolved by club soda.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Manstrong turns out to be a repressed masturbater, per Rusty.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Rusty's impenetratable force field can be dissolved by club soda.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: President Breyer embodies basically all of the negative versions to some degree, especially President Buffoon and President Playboy.

** The title of the episode is a reference to the film [[Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner Guess who's coming to dinner]].

** Manstrong's line at the end "My God, it's full of stars," is a reference to to Dr. Dave Bowman's final words in ''TwoThousandTenTheYearWeMakeContact.''

* MundaneSolution: Rusty's impenetrable force field can be dissolved...with club soda.

* SomeKindOfForceField: Rusty creates a portable generator for one. It actually seems to work just fine, until the remote is smashed. It can also be [[MundaneSolution dissolved with club soda...]]

* MyBelovedSmother: Manstrong's mother.

** Manstrong's line at the end "My God, it's full of stars," is a reference to to Dr. Dave Bowman's final words in ''2001:ASpaceOdyssey.''

** Manstrong being controlled by his mother and brainwashed into killing the President is directly from ''TheManchurianCandidate.'' Lincoln even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
