Funny Moments: Most episodes are just candid (but entertaining) conversations between two RLM cast members, but "Our Least Viewed Episode Ever.", which focuses on Jerry Springer and features 15 minutes of Mike reading real Springer show titles and Rich Evans laughing at them, manages to make even the most low-effort conversation a laugh riot.
The normally stoic (or drunkenly numb) Mike can't help but crack up at episode titles like "A Ghost Threw Me Down the Stairs" and "Adoption Reunions Gone Bad". The one that fully breaks him, however, is "Child Alcoholics".
Rich explodes into laughter when Mike explains that Jerry Springer's political career as mayor of Cincinnati ended with a major scandal in which he had sex with a prostitute and was caught because he paid her with a check.
The episode ends with Rich jumping up from his chair and pretending to throw a punch at Mike.
For the television series:
Alternative Character Interpretation: A.J. Gibbs' occasional unpredictable moments (most notably her 'revenge', but also just strange comments she makes sometimes) makes her rather suspicious to some, as if she might be responsible for Forrest's miseries. Although season 3 paints her as ultimately a sensible person.
Forrest's denial of the show being canceled could be a case of him being driven into insanity the minute he found out about the cancellation moments after he vetoed Suzanne's review request.
Iron Woobie: Forrest. There's also a lot of Jerkass Woobie, as he often begins to revel in his own degradation or constantly does immoral and cruel things that weren't even called for in the review.
Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While the finale painted Forrest as a tragic character one shouldn't go as far as to consider him a sympathetic individual. Especially when his downfall was the result of him putting the show above his family and his marriage.
