One of the best episodes in a long time... Hobo Cheeseburger in Paradise was pure gold. I literally spit out my coffee.

The cold open, which is usually the weakest part of the show, was really solid this time, if only because reducing Fifty Shades of Grey to butt punching is so perfect, and the discussion of confused butt punchers entering the BDSM community is so funny.

Oh man I almost always love the cold opens, but I think I'm also an easy mark for the McElroys. I feel like there hasn't been a weak episode in a long time... honestly the Candlenights Live one was maybe the most disappointing recent one, but that might have been a combination of high expectations and live things not translating to audio.

Saw a good point somebody made the other day that Griffin's delivery is half the humor sometimes. Just the way he reads Warrior Cat names or Jimmy Buffet song titles.

Loved the bit that led to Amelia Bedelia Corleone. "Do I have this dragon back tattoo because I love dragons or because I'm Yakuza?" Especially since it came out of a bit of awkwardness between Travis and Justin each trying to take the Tooth Fairy thing in a different direction. (Also liked that they committed to the idea that the Tooth Fairy was not your parents)

Now I really want a calzone. And to destroy the sun!
