My Name Is Earl- 1/4/07

Cafe Society
21

For some reason, this part really tickled me–

naked Joy: Stop following me with that camera, Kevin. I don’t want to hurt you.

[throws big rock and camera guy goes down]

naked Joy (running away): You made me do it, Kevin.
Also, the scene when the cop walks up as Earl is raiding someone’s garage, and Earl starts to make up an excuse. Then Randy walks out of the house into the garage holding a television and says, “I love stealing.”

And Randy getting tranqued had me giggling with anticipation as soon as they put the trampoline down under him. I’ve seen that video of a bear getting the same treatment, so I knew exactly what was going to happen, and it was hilarious!

22

So, what does everyone think Patty’s masters degree is in? Something makes me want to say it’s something in business or social work.

23

Miss Purl McKnittington, we know that she speaks Bengali. So, my guess is that it’s something to do with the Kama Sutra (admittedly not originally written in Bengali, but by the time it makes it to Camden County, who knows what translations it may have gone through?).

Or, it’s a Masters in Daytime Hookerin’.

24

I missed the line “Please don’t take her,” probably because I was laughing so much.
What was it in reference to?

25

When the cop found nekkid Joy hiding in a Dumpster, the homeless man already occupying the Dumpster pleaded, “Please don’t take her!”

It occurs to me that this show, a so-so episode of “My Name is Earl”, was far funnier than the Comedy Central show “Reno 911”. How that show has stayed on the air, and even gotten a movie, is beyond me.

My favorite dialogue might have been this:

Joy: You stoled a police car for me? Oh, Baby, I’m gonna bleep your bleep bleep bleep with my bleep loving bleep bleep bleep . . . bleep

Earl tenderly laying a finger on her lips: You had me at “balls”.

(Do “reality” shows like “Cops” actually blur somebody’s mouth as well as bleeping the audio when the person is cursing? What the fuck?)

26

Nice concept.

I didn’t think it was super funny.

But the whole show was worth it when they pulled out the trampoline. That bear video gets funnier every time you see it.

27

Is this the same girlfriend who ends up with only one leg later?

28

No, this is the one that Earl faked his death to break up with. She has an episode in season 1.

29

Besides, the one-legged girl was in this same episode.

30

D’oh! I forgot they had her pointing out the guy with the snake pants. :smack:

31

And I thought they wouldn’t have passed up the chance to foreshadow her permanently standing on one leg.

32

I thought this was one of the funniest episodes they’ve ever done. They really hat a lot of fun with the show’s minor characters. Kenny breaking his own window so he could flirt with a cop he thinks is gay was hilarious.

33

I’m an idiot. I couldn’t figure out why he broke his own window.

This was possibly my favorite episode. The tranq gun, the skinned pecker and my favorite line, “Shh…you had me at balls”. I’m giggling now just thinking about it.

Earl won the night, IMO.

34

I enjoyed a lot of this episode but it did feel too much like Reno 911. I feel like that show has already done to death the running away and blurred nudity jokes to death.
Earl’s getting on the bike and doing the jump over the fence was pretty good though.

I did love the guy with the snake pants. I forget the characters name… Haywire from Prison Break.

Overall this was my second favorite episode of the night. The Office was great. 30 Rock was pretty good. Scrubs was what it was…boring.

35

Did anyone else notice at the end, Earl was sitting at the table at the Crabshack with his list. I have a feeling the Cops ep brought back a few items to be added to the list.

The Tranq moment was my favorite.

36

I especially noticed that when Earl specifically pointed it out in the voice-over. :wink:

37

“I may have to stake out all weekend.” “I’ll rent a movie!”

38

cbawlmer - Darn you! Now I’m going to have to rewatch it. And IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!!

I laughed just a few times as I was watching it, but reading this thread has given me a renewed appreciation of the episode. Thank God for the Dope!

My favorite line (paraphrased): Earl said the cameraman in the back of the squad car would film Joy and him having sex: “But none of that artsy stuff. He’ll stay focused on business!” ::waggles his eyebrows at the terrified camerman::

Best “Earl” ever. I nearly fell off the couch with “You had me at balls.”

It really connected for two reasons: 1) tons and tons of quotable lines and 2) we got to see the characters being anti-social misfits and not goody-goodies. It was a nice change of pace.
