I thought the little snippet of the “Get Smart” theme was pretty funny. ---

> [@BraheSilver](#): > > Tobias being the best giant mole he can be: > > “Raar, I have a disregard for local zoning ordinances!” > “This water tower displeases me!” That was his incorporating George Sr. into the character! I liked the _Eye Of The Tiger_ type song when Michael and Steve Holt were training, _Keep Your Balls In The Air_! And I, for one, would like Charlize Theron to last the entire season. The site of her bobbing her head and foot, playing the banjo, was hot! (Do you know any other songs?) ---

> [@tdn](#): > > I may have misheard, but didn’t Gob or somebody say “Brilliant idea, Steinberg”? > > Is it just me, or is Ann actually kinda hot? Yes, I said Ann, not Annyong. And not Annabelle. Yeah, GOB said “Brilliant idea, Steinberg” trying to pile on (with the usual awkward results) after the initial Einstein remark. And yeah, Bland seems a bit less Ann this year. Poor George Michael. I was kind of hoping they’d reprise the “Peanuts” music when he shuffled out after Third Place Annabelle rejected him. Oh well. ---

> [@BraheSilver](#): > > Tobias being the best giant mole he can be: > > “Raar, I have a disregard for local zoning ordinances!” > “This water tower displeases me!” Ha! I didn’t even hear that dialogue since we were laughing so hard. Since George Michael already had a nice suit and they made so many James Bond references, we thought they were going to do a Bond gag with George Michael wearing the suit and the jet pack. What they did instead was so much funnier. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > I’m trying to replay her scenes in my mind to recognize what other clues there are that she’s retarded. > > The train set for George Michael seemed something that any fun loving adult would recommend. I’m guessing that pretty much all other indicators would be along the same lines. Also when Michael was asking her to marry him, on the wall behind them was a framed finger painting with handprints in primary colors.
