1 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Jimmy is such a BadLiar, [[AmbiguousSituation they probably should’ve sworn him in]]. |
2 | * FridgeBrilliance: Towards the end of Jimmy's long story to the court, Tom casually remarks that "Maybe they should have sworn him in." Considering that Jimmy quickly worked up a reputation as a liar with the [=MST3K=] cast, it makes you wonder if [[UnreliableNarrator maybe the story itself was a lie]]. |
3 | * SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: |
4 | ** The jokes that Jimmy's actor is [[DawsonCasting clearly too old to convincingly play a teenager]]: |
5 | --->'''Joel (as Jimmy):''' Oh boy, oh boy! I won, I won! After 11 years in high school I finally won... ''something''! |
6 | ** Quite a few of the jokes about Jimmy winning the essay contest are funny, but this one takes the cake, after Jimmy comes home after being beat up by a couple of mobsters: |
7 | --->'''Jimmy''': Mom! Dad!\ |
8 | '''Joel''': I won the Get-The-Crap-Kicked-Out-Of-You Contest! |
9 | ** The series of embellishments Joel and the Bots tack on after Jimmy says he's just doing the shoe boy gig till his dad buys the place. |
10 | ** Upon Jimmy's impromptu decision to rob a diner: "Uh, c-can I... can I rob you?" |
11 | ** "If I had parents, I'd accuse them right now." |
12 | *** "I accuse her '''hair'''." |
13 | ** To represent Jimmy's subconscious mind, they bring out an elaborate balancing mobile full of words and ideas spinning around. It's simple, yet sublimely hilarious. |
14 | *** "Hey, there's 'stupid.' Really big!" |
15 | ** When Tom and Crow try to get Joel to give them a hamburger, by pointing a tank at him! |
16 | ** "Eleanor Roosevelt is pissed!" |
17 | ** Kitty: "And this is Aunt Harriet." Crow: "'Nuff said." |
18 | ** (after Jimmy finishes his story to the judge) "Seeing as it's your birthday, you're free to go." |
19 | * HarsherInHindsight: |
20 | ** A quick shot of Jimmy's dad sitting with a nubile nymph in his lap prompts a riff of "Walt Creator/{{Disney}} auditions another potential [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]]!" After the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal that broke out in late 2017, it's suddenly more cringe-worthy than funny[[note]]Although it ''had'' been something of an open secret for as long as the industry existed...[[/note]]. |
21 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Gypsy's "ideal family" drawing is the Satellite of Love crew, all holding hands. |
22 | ** [[YankTheDogsChain Then]] "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]]" happened. |
23 | * HilariousInHindsight: When a group of country-esque people suddenly appear in the restaurant, Joel comments that he hopes they don't start singing Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart". A couple of months after this episode aired, Music/WeirdAlYankovic released ''Alapalooza'', which has a parody of that song called "Achy Breaky Song" with the narrator singing about how much he hates that song. |
