Checking another meme off the list. And putting that meme in a box. A glass box.
[8.2/10] A lot to like in this one. IASIP isn’t always big on cultural satire, but Dennis and Dee’s conversation about raising taxes, treating the mentally ill, and giving the Philadelphia Eagles a new practice field was hilarious in that vein. And the ending that spills off from that -- involving different cities just cyclically dumping their mentally ill citizens on one another -- is cynically amusing. Plus I love the running bit of the group dancing to various topical Top 40 hits at each turn.
Plus each contingent of The Gang had something great to do here. Dee and Dennis trying to get Pete recommitted was a hoot, particularly with Dee’s typically awful acting, and Dennis revealing himself (in a oddly specific Ed Gein-like fashion) to have borderline personality disorder. Mac and Charlie enlisting Cricket to absolve Pete of his sins was also a good bit, as Cricket plays a good Butters Stotch to the rest of The Gang, and Mac thinking religion is the answer is very in character.
I also got a big kick out of the show following up on Frank’s time at the “nitwit” school from the last psychology episode. Him going on a quest to find his friend Froggy, learning that “Froggy” was really him, and then being chased by his old doctor with a giant net is out there but hilarious, and it’s some of the best work Danny DeVito’s done on the show.
Overall, lots of laughs and even some incisive commentary in this one. Definite winner.
