[QUOTE=labtrash] CRAP CRAP CRAP DID IT ALWAYS START AT 8? [/QUOTE] You have my sympathy. Wasn’t it on at 8 last season? 7 is too early. Not because the chillun might hear Joy say “son of a bitch”, but because it’s just too early. Some folks aren’t home from work and finished with dinner by 7, for pete’s sake! So Joy’s in jail. This should be fun. 🙂 ---

I about gave myself a rupture when Randy starting singing “We represent the Lollipop Guild” and then Darnell told him, “Dude, those aren’t helium balloons.” Can I just say I am finding Joy to be a royal bitch? She wanted a surprise birthday party, and in order to surprise her, Darnell threw it a month early, and she pitched a fit. Why exactly is he with her? Wait, don’t bother…she is easy on the eyes, I suppose. Now, considering Joy has been charged with kidnapping, grand theft auto, and assault, how long will she be in prison? Robin Hood, Batman, and Jesus Christ. Now that’s a superhero show I could watch!! ---

So, exactly how did Joy save up enough for her disappearing TV? My fave (paraphrased), “Why don’t you just pee a circle around him?” “I’m not going to…” “Do I have to do everything myself?” ---

[QUOTE=Operation Ripper] Oh. My. God. Helium balloon thing funniest evah. [/QUOTE] Never in the 14 years she’s known me has my wife seen me laugh so hard and so long as after that scene. I damn near stroked out. Holee Moses but that was hilarious. ---

[QUOTE=D\_Odds] That just means she’s doing her job and doing it well. Joy hasn’t a single redeeming quality. [/QUOTE] Except her legs. And her tits. (Ohmigod, did I just say that?!) Actually, the actress who plays her has the best sense of comedic timing and “plastic face” I’ve ever seen on a beautiful woman. I’m so very very glad that she didn’t get cast and ruined on SNL or some other crap show. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] Does anyone else see the words “My Name is Earl” and start singing the PRince song, “My Name is Prince” only with the name Earl instead of Prince? [/QUOTE] I usually go with “My name is, my name is, my name is, Slim Shady!” I wish I had known what song Randy was singing but even so that was SO funny! It seemed like Joy and Earl were getting along a little too well though :eek: ---
