* BrokenBase: The {{Bottle Episode}}s; their supporters typically consider them the show's best episodes because they only need the bare minimum of set-up before allowing the jokes to flow non-stop for the rest of the runtime, while their detractors tend to complain that the unchanging setting and general lack of guest stars can make them repetitive. A third camp feels that while the first few bottle episodes work well -- with "The Beast in the Cage" in particular being seen as a classic -- the last two suffer from not changing up the "Victor complains non-stop about a situation for 20+ minutes before using the situation to make some philosophical observations about life" formula.
