(*) The decision to
end their season like this certainly doesn’t bode well for a season 4 renewal
so we might as well enjoy these last few episodes like they might be the last.
The problem with “Fowl Play/Date” was that they went to the “hey
everyone knows this sitcom story so well that it makes it funny if we do it
with our gang” well not only once but twice in the same episode. Penny and Brad
being forced to replace an item/pet without the owner of said item/pet knowing
is a classic sitcom trope, right up there with two characters each trying to
set up another one with a date that ends up being similar to them. I don’t
think I would have minded either of these two stories if they had been in
episodes with some more original problems, but the combo of them together was
just too much.
That being said there was still plenty to like. Max
continues to be one of the great television characters currently on television;
storing leftover pizza under the covers is an amazing idea right? Also, the opener
was really fantastic as the group started shouting other potential “cons” after
learning that Alex was attending the “Rom Com Con.” And it was hilarious to see
the show be meta by having a random guy tell the group to shut up after they
had gotten lost in one of their fast talking, one-upper, joke offs.
Other favorite moments:
- “On behalf of all Navajo Cubs fans, I am offended.” – Dave.
- “Tuckered out from all that racism?” – Brad.
- “We have all the same interests. Love Ryan Reynolds, hate Ryan Reynolds movies.” – Max.
- “I’m not one to usually talk about my sex dreams but it was me, Jeff Van Gundy, and Stan van Gundy.” – Max.
- “Harsh barley bro.” – Dave’s pick to be Max’s date.
- Tyler Kerkovich lived from 1928 to 2013.
