My Name is Earl 11/16/2006

My Spanish is so rusty, I couldn’t catch any of it except the “bailar-r-r-r” bit. That made even a clay Catalina sexy.

Me, too! I love Mr. Turtle, and Darnell’s devotion to him.

Maybe it’s because I’m not feeling well today but this episode was my least favorite. More correctly, it’s the only episode I haven’t liked a lot. Right around the time Earl announced he and Randy had decided to smoke pot for the first time, it felt forced. It was as if they were trying a bit too hard to get a laugh out of material that wasn’t quite that funny.

Oh well. Catalina, Joy & Crabman’s parts were still good.

“Don’t bother trying to explain the irony, she doesn’t see it.” Heh.

That could be true, but his followup was funny beyond measure. Pot wasn’t for him because:

“I had to keep checking that I hadn’t peed myself.”

That line had me rolling, and left me finding everything that came after hysterically funny, including the next two shows. Not sure if anyone here has experienced Earl’s issue, but it SUCKS. I never got that from weed, but a couple times I got that from dropping acid. The worst part is that’s a twelve hour high.

As he narrated that bit, the camera panned down from Randy to show Earl checking his pants. He combined the perfect amount of stoned subdued-ness with the panic of “oh shit, did I just piss myself?!”

That was comedy gold.

Wait, I am shocked and appalled you mean that you, Ellis Dee dropped acid? I just cannot believe this.

Yeah, I had that same problem a few times all those years ago. It kind took away from the experience.
