And one episode featured Crabman looking for an alternative to “here’s your food.” My favorite was “time to get yo’ grub on.”
Randy: I like ‘here;s your food’, cause that’s what’s happening.
That “he thinks Earl is talking about his mom” routine is probably older than vaudeville, but they did it perfectly. It might say more about my type of humor than it did about the show, but I literally couldn’t catch my breath from laughing so hard.
The thing about the one-eyed guy and the bowl of nuts: I didn’t catch that at all. NOW I see why it was funny.
One thing I liked about this episode is that it seems to be showing a few more dimensions to the characters (laid-back Crabman getting angry, Joy truly loving Crabman) while keeping the characters true to themselves.
This is now officially my favorite show.
I loved that Joy pulled DJ Dave away from Earl’s birthday bash by giving him a coupon for the discount hooker. Then, in the park restroom, Joy dries her hair with the hand drier and says, “I’m sweatin’ like a whore in church. No offense, (discount hooker.)” Discount hooker comes out of a stall in a leopardskin skirt, saying, “No offense taken. I don’t go to church.”
Darnell decking Earl when he thinks Earl slept with Darnell’s mom was priceless.
That was Patty the daytime hooker (she was in the first episode).
And that scene also had my favorite line, “Okay, now you’re getting boob glitter all over my face.”
Funny funny episode.
“You’re getting boob glitter on my face.”
This show is hilarious, Randy rules.
“Should I get my chicken grilled or McNuggetted?”
Just when you think this show has hit the line it continues to sail on over.
Joy taping the radio for her mix tape
Darnell at the crack of dawn shooing away folks from the picnic table
Joy getting dressed in the park PUBLIC RESTROOM! I lost it at that point.
At first, I felt sorry for Darnell, until I remembered that he had slept with Joy while she was still married to Earl. Tit for tat, although “I didn’t sleep with your moms!” was hilarious.
and the people he shoo’ed away, “See, I tole you we should got us a clown”
Another very funny episode. It is so nice to have a sitcom I like again, it has been awhile.
Next weeks should be good.

Has it ever been explained why Earl is not angry with Darnell for sleeping with Joy? He just seems to accept it in an easygoing way that, while amusing, is inexplicable – I mean, shouldn’t there be at least some animosity? (Or maybe he is grateful to Crabman for getting him out of a bad marriage!) It may have been explained in this episode for all I know – due to other things going on around me , I was unable to pay too much attention to it last night! (I have it on videotape, but I have not had time to re-watch it!)
Rehearsal lunch that is, since some attendees had court ordered curfews. Loved the “small” cups that Joy sprung for. “It’s just like a large, only with a little more walking.”
“Tequila. Need 10, got 10.”
I liked how the dress at the irregular dress store was guaranteed to have been worn less than eight times. Eight!
Does anybody else still watch The Office after Earl? I know it gets mentioned sometimes in these threads, but not much. It’s a completely different kind of show, but it’s also very funny.
“If I get McNuggets,do you think they’ll let me have two sauces? I like dipping a little bitin the mustard, and then a little bit in the honery. It’s like having a small meal followed by a small dessert every time.” 
Darnell explained in the play-tube that he can’t be too angry since he had sex with Joy while Earl was still married to her. Once he found out that Earl didn’t sleep with his “Moms” his anger turned to Joy, not Earl.
Also, I loved Earl remembering all his “moments” with Crab-Man, which consisted solely with him saying “Hi Crab-Man!”. I remember people on this board remarking in earlier threads that Earl & Darnell don’t interact much except to say a friendly “Hi” to each other.
I liked how they had Twinkies and Ding-Dongs at an interracial wedding. I didn’t notice until they did the “shoving cake in each others’ face” scene. I forget who was holding which, but one had a Twinkie and one had a Ding-Dong.
I am glad you like it, but my wife and I cannot stand it. The humor is predictable and the actors bland and boring. Just another sitcom to me.

I tried to watch The Office, but I did not get the humor. The boss is a royal incompetent ass, and I was horrified at how he treated his employees. Not my idea of a funny show. I’d rather watch Earl.
As fo Earl not being upset with Darnell sleeping with Joy, he married her during a drunken binge when she was six months pregnant. I honestly don’t think he cared.
Randy: “Hey Earl, wanna go write ‘wash me’ on dirty cars? I already did ours…!”
I introduced a friend to this show last night. We were chatting online, and I’d been telling her she needs to watch it, for the last few weeks. I figured she would particularly appreciate Joy’s character. Why? Because if she had just a little more of a mean streak, she would BE Joy. (Yeah, I told her that, too). She doesn’t live in a trailer, but she lives in a rural town south of here (where I’m sure she knows people just like Joy) and has that same sort of accent.
Less than 10 minutes into the show, she IMs back, “I LOVE her!”
Eh, I’ve never been a huge fan of The Office, I just don’t enjoy awkward comedy. It can be a little amusing in a 5 minute SNL skit, but over a half hour it gets grating. I think them running it after Earl is the worst thing they could do. The shows are so different that it really makes The Office look bad, and they likely have quite different audiences.
Ideally they’d be able to pair The Office with Arrested Development, which for many obvious reasons will never happen, but that combo would probably saved both shows.
