Easily the best episode yet. From the constant 'mistakes' regarding the grades to the armless man (and his three-legged dog) employed by George to teach his children a lesson, the episode starts very strongly. The look on Gob's face when the door is blown open as he is mistaken for a real cop is priceless and Lucille's constant treading on Lindsay verbally is witty while being quite wounding.

Lindsay's line of 'I punish thee!' when attempting to discipline her daughter and the Big Yellow Joint are also classic examples of the quasi-obscure humour that serves the show so well. The one-liners keep coming and coming in this episode and all of them hit the mark so well - 'Maybe it was the other George Michael, the singer-songwriter.' Gob proves his sleazy uncle credentials again as he procures cannabis for George Michael. George's conversion to Judaism continues to provide laughs as he refuses to play a part in teaching young George Michael a lesson. It falls to Gob's Hot Cops but things, as ever, go hilariously awry. It was never going to end well when employing strippers to scare a teenager against drugs. A really great episode from start to finish.
