Not my favorite episode of the show so far. Dr. Venture's conversation with the hallucination of his father was far and away the best part, both in terms of comedy in how Dr. Venture cracked jokes about his complex over his dad was seeping through, but also in terms of character through the way the show dramatized his daddy issues. And the problems all coming down to his old cowboy toy was a nice touch.
The Brock/Gargantua crew love triangle didn't do much for me. I've gotten a kick out of Brock's over the top manliness in the prior episodes, but the butterface lieutenant and her Principal Skinner-like compatriot were pretty mild characters, and a bunch of innuendo and easy sex gags was pretty weak.
Hank and Dean being afraid of "Phantom Space Guy" was mildly amusing, but only mildly, with really the sad sack misadventures of Helper providing the only real Chaplin-esque misfortune based comedy. Hank and Dean's too dumb to live routine can be fun, but their fear of a ghost came off a little too cornball, even if that was the joke.
