That is the big question people ask before investing 25 minutes of their life into an episode. Will it insult? Or confirm? Unfortunately, this episode was slightly liberal but with little or no direction or meaning.
One of the problems is that there wasn't a real conflict between the renovation show and the rednecks. What did it matter to Randy that people were protesting Alexa? Plus, there wasn't a real conflict between the rednecks and Alexa. How did Alexa take their jobs? It just didn't make sense.
The whole house flipping thing was dumb, this is 2018, not 2005. And the whole "rednecks losing their jobs" was a stale leftover from a much older episode. After eight years of Obama, there are now 95 million people no longer in the workforce, no longer even looking for a job and now living on welfare. These include people of all races, certainly not a "white redneck" thing. So what point were they trying to make? Or what social construct are they even poking fun at? It was just too pointless as we struggle to find humor. Then suddenly they show a white redneck losing it over Mexicans, Muslims and Blacks for no given reason. I mean, what the heck?
The first few minutes were gold with the boys laughing at Alexas. Overall, I don't think Matt and Trey are interested anymore in biting social commentary combined with schoolyard humor. My guess is they have very little to do with the shows now. I suspected that in recent seasons when they stopped having stand-alone episodes and started having each entire seasons as one long story arch.
