I had trouble believing that even Phil wouldn’t immediately realize that putting his hot wife in an ad that starts with “I can’t be satisfied” would give the wrong impression. But it was still a funny episode.

I really liked how Jay and his little brother Donnie’s big “Bonding Moment” was reminiscing about the time when Jay beat the shit out of a bully who was tormenting Donnie back when they were young kids…

“I can’t hear no more!”

The whole ad had Claire, Phil, Alex, Luke, and Haley on it. I don’t think Phil realized that the whole thing would fit on the van or that it would be formated the way it was.

“Happy Endings” was on after it, wasn’t it? We laughed our asses off at that. We really like “Cougar Town,” too.

About the only thing my brother and sister bond over is when he beat the crap out of a kid who stole her bike when we were kids. True story.

Four older brothers. All we reminisce about is beating up neighborhood kids. That part was extremely accurate.

“I brought you a PB&J.”

“Pear Brie and Jambone! My Favorite!”

I think their sheer gravity has caused them to begin to accrete other objects from around the set.

Her hair is often styled to frame her decolletage; the episode about riding bikes is the only one I’ve seen where they put a shirt on her that nearly touched her collarbone.
