After a checkup, a doctor warns Granddad that he could die any day if he doesn't get his stress levels down. Not wanting to become dependent on pills, he takes Thugnificent's suggestion and turns to marijuana, leading to an extreme obsession and legal issues.
Episode Tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Mark Hamill voices Grant, the weed dealer, who offer Grandad a strain of pot called Skywalker.
- Downer Ending: Granddad is sentenced to three weeks of house arrest, two years of probation with mandatory drug testing, and community service just for the fun of it.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: At first, the boys are concerned about Granddad's new chipper attitude, with Riley even going so far as to believe Granddad to be a clone. Subverted when they found out the truth.
- Side Effects Include...: A commercial advertising the same initial pills Robert hilariously took this up to eleven, prompting him to ditch the drug."Women, pregnant women, and most men should not take Zortafrinex. Known side-effects include dry mouth, upset stomach, mild death, blindness, massive heart attack, difficulty breathing, and rectal fungus. Almost all men who took Zortafrinex experienced a severe loss in sexual performance; this is normal. Please stop taking Zortafrinex immediately if you feel mild discomfort on or in testicles, as this can be a sign of a rare and extremely unpleasant side-effect known as Total Scrotal Implosion. If Total Scrotal Implosion should occur, call your doctor right away. If you cannot move or talk due to the debilitating pain of Total Scrotal Implosion, please have a loved one call your doctor. There is no cure for Total Scrotal Implosion."
