“Dr. Sexy, MD” 
I like that Dean’s closing line in the sitcom, “Sonofabitch!” is something he would actually say, only with totally different delivery.
I loved the opening credits.
Oh my god. This episode is EPIC so far. The herpes commercial nearly killed me.
Wait…did they just say that it was never a Trickster, but Gabriel the whole time?
I mean, like it was Gabriel that did Mystery Spot and that they have always been wrong about him being a trickster?
I think so, yeah. Gabriel became the Trickster.
OH, SPN. I love you and your retconning.
Gabriel: “Where did you get the holy oil?”
Dean: “Let’s just say we pulled it out of Sam’s ass!”
nut clacker!
I loved Sam / the Impala as KITT.
This has to be one of the best series of all time. OF ALL TIME.
It was so cool that they were making fun of [del]Gray’s Anatomy[/del] Dr. Sexy MD for having ghosts, when the ghost on that show was the same guy that played their dad. Also kinda funny that show is their direct competition now.
I wonder if anyone watching on a DVR accidentally skipped over Sam’s herpes ad. I know I almost did. That was so frickin hilarious, I’m glad I caught it.
Poor Sammy. Last week he had the clap, this week it’s herpes. You’d think if one of them was going to be continually afflicted with STDs, it’d be Dean. I guess it’s funnier when it’s Sam, just for that reason.
I laughed so hard at this I think I hurt myself. The opening credits were brilliant. Loved Cass getting a big round of applause when he walked into the sitcom (pretty much the only good thing that happened to poor Cass tonight). The herpes commercial was genius (gotta love the crotch-shot of yoga girl, and Sam’s delivery was great).
I actually watch Grey’s Anatomy (it’s a guilty pleasure!), and that was so dead on. “You’re brilliant. And a coward. A brilliant coward.” Bwah! Seriously. 
Their David Caruso impressions were awesome, as was Dean’s rant against cop procedurals, and “I’m wearing sunglasses at night. You know who wears sunglasses at night? No-talent hacks!”
The trickster being Gabriel was a touch hard to swallow, but I’ve decided I can live with it if it means we get more Richard Speight. Love that guy!
Was it “no talent hacks” or “no talent douches”?
It might have been douches, they do love that word.
In only tangentially related news, every once in a while I get excited enough about an episode to check the TWOP boards, forgetting how much I hate them. Good lord, why watch a show that you’re so incredibly determined to not like?
Loved the Grey’s Anatomy and CSI Miami spoofs. Not sure what the sitcom was supposed to be, though.
So, as soon as Cass said it was too powerful for a trickster, I decided that he’d turn out to be Gabriel: I even said so to the people I was watching with. But why? Does anything about this character match up with the biblical depiction of Gabriel, which would account for him popping into my head, or is it simply process of elimination since most of the archangels ('sides Michael, of course) have already been shown?
Anyone else catch that Uriel is sometimes listed as an archangel? And there is one with a name similar to Zechariah as well…
I’m wondering if Dean’s scolding of Gabriel will eventually prompt Gabe to try to intercede between Michael and Lucifer…?
SO true. I hate the people at TWOP. Fortunately, all my fangirl friends actually enjoy the show, even if sometimes we get a little embarrassed when they make fun of us. (I like to think they’re doing it in a loving way.) I’m already a little horrified that
[spoiler alert for next week, although nothing that isn’t obvious from the promos:]
[spoiler]they’re going to a SPN convention next week. Yikes. I hope the fictional fangirls behave better than the real ones at actual conventions.
Hahaha, if it were really a spoof of the actual conventions, [del]Misha[/del] Castiel would show up and act like a crazy person and make lots of suggestive comments. Okay, I’m hoping that happens now.[/spoiler]
The sitcom wasn’t supposed to be a parody of any specific sitcom, just that style of “bad sitcom with terrible jokes and annoying laugh track.”
Generic sitcom…like that 70’s show.
Well, Gabriel is supposed to be the messenger. The Trickster certainly does enjoy sending a message, even if he’s clearly not delivering notes from God anymore.
I had wondered about that myself, when Uriel first showed up I thought “what the hell is an archangel reporting to Cass for?”, but I think the Catholic church only recognizes Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael as archangels, and so I’m assuming that Supernatural is defaulting to Catholic mythology (as television tends to do).
