[8.3/10] This one was a loose series of riffs on wannabe sport weekend warriors, and it was a lot of fun. Everyone had something to do. I think my favorite part was Dee going Yentil/Ice Box/Leela for the tryouts and trying to prove that she was just as sporting as any of them. Dennis and Mac talking a big game, but then getting their butts kicked by her worked well, even if the whole punt breaking ankle thing was a little odd as a finish.
There was also a lot of great humor wrung from Mac and Dennis wanting to try out for the team and absolutely not taking it seriously. Their rambling about the importance and sanctity of it, while being revealed to be peeing in the stadium parking lot, smashing beer bottles, and smoking on the bus on the way to the field was a hoot. Plus the sequence where we here Dennis’s inner monologue only to watch him get knocked out by a ball to the head was great, and the fake “Donovan McNabb” giving them a speech about the greatness of McDonalds was a big laugh too.
I was less enamored with the Frank/Charlie portion of the episode, but it had its moments. The whole fisheye lens = tripping thing has been done, but Frank hallucinating that he’s trapped in a winnebago bathroom again and seeing Artemis’s face, only to be revealed to be standing in a trashcan had its moments. And Charlie going back to his “green man” costume after being dosed, and partying with the McPoyles had a weird but generally entertaining energy.
Overall, more of a series of random gags than a full fledged episode, but the gags were, for the most part, very funny, so it works!
Wow! That episode was really hilarous! Me and my girlfriend was really enjoying this one and really had a good time,
