2025-08-28 22:18:39 +0000 UTCYeah, the jokes and puns and references just come one after the other, it can be overwhelming trying to pick up everything the first time. (Unfortunately?) almost everyone reacting to this has seen the show multiple times, so you'll get some detailed responses about all the jokes you might have missed (or didn't appreciate as much as they did). Speaking of which... Lindsay's conversation with Michael about "the homeless guy" copies a conversation Michael and Gob have in episode 1x16 after Michael has a one night stand with Maggie Lizer, the "blind" prosecutor ("What's wrong with her [him]?" "Nothing's wrong with her [him]! ...She [he] is blind [homeless]...") Just like his sons in season 1, George Sr. doesn't know how to say "brother" in Spanish. And in 2x2 George Sr. is beat up by the Mexican police the same way Oscar was beat up by the police multiple times in 2x1. Oscar's incredibly unsubtle hints about who Buster's real dad is (along with the accompanying music) is one of my favorite gags. When George is pretending to be Oscar at the hospital, you see him try and massage Buster, but Buster says "ow" and pushes him away. Buster trying to get hit as the house falls apart is a reference to the silent film star Buster Keaton. Also the Blue Man Group, like Keaton, does silent performing arts. The board members truly are sheep, they're so easily led. The fact they were so impressed by GOB turning a $100 bill into 100 pennies that they immediately approved his appointment as president is hilarious. I have no idea why the titles of both these episodes are done in the same style as the episode titles in Friends. I'm a huge fan of Avatar The Last Airbender, so I love seeing Mae Whitman (Katara) as Ann. I'm also a huge fan of It's Always Sunny, so I love seeing Charlie's mom on an exercise video for Kegels.
