This was perhaps the zaniest 30 minutes of TV I have ever experienced and the clip show way in which this episode was presented was pure perfection-animated!
And yet, it was zaniness reined in to within an inch of its life by the masterful direction and intelligence of Roiland et. al.
How good was this show? Well I usually cram a couple of beers down me to get me in the perfect mood before watching R&M and as such, sometimes my memories get a bit cloudy after three or four shows in a row.
So the way they mixed in real and "fake" flashbacks threw me off and I became more and more uncertain about what was actual clip and what was made up.
In fact, after watching the show I came to make a comment here and one of the excellent reviews above mentioned Mr. Poopybutthole in ep 7 of season 1... I actually went back to see if I had missed something.
That, to me, shows just how magnificently one of the premises of the show (we cannot trust memories) worked!
Fabulous, fabulous and intelligent TV at its very unhinged best!
