This had to be the funniest episode to-date. They mentioned The Guild of Calamitous Intent again! It cracked me up the first time I heard it from Baron “We Must File an Article of Collusion” Underbheit.

I don’t find the two dudes from the Ice Station - Impossible! all that funny. Just what kind of accent does that tall guy have?

Funny, funny stuff from Dean’s no-nos to the web site mentioned at the end of the credits. You _did_ go to the site, right? Here’s the link in case you didn’t.

I realize it’s fairly unusual for a heterosexual male to be attracted to someone whose voice is significantly deeper than his own, but I have to say it:

**Dr. Girlfriend is hot!**

What she sees in The Monarch, I’ll never know…

That they bothered to make a website proves they knew someone was going to try going there. Interesting. Of course, it’s to be expected from the network that advertises shows as cancelled just to watch people on their forums freak out.

I SOoooo loved that PSA at the end; watching everybody’s eyeballs track across the text as they spoke was PRICELESS!!

Word.

Awesome episode, but it still doesn’t beat the pirate one. Still, Hankand the Monarch’s exchange about Hank’s clothes is priceless.

Monarch: I’ve only seen you in that one outfit.  
Hank: That doesn’t mean I don’t like to wash it.  
M: Fair enough.

Anyone else catch Rusty’s line about “beta testing” the boys. I knew it: Science experiment.

The Monarch’s look of thanks to Brock Samson for giving his troops something to do was priceless. Nice touch with Samson leaning back into the camera’s view to say “Yeah?”

Dr. Girlfriend is hot.

I’m hooked on this show, and I’ve only seen two episodes.

Back to the show- did Stupid Henchman #2 sound like Ray Romano?

The season ends on the 30th so they’ll probably start over with the pilot on Nov. 6th. However remember that ran way back in Jan 2003 I think so don’t expect the quality of this season. But it just keeps getting better after that.

I noticed he sounded like Ray too. Wasn’t that voice also used in the panic room episode?

My favorite lines. “Da-ad! Please, please, please don’t feel me up.” and “Hank, don’t brag to your brother about your circumcision.”
