September 21, 2006: Awkward Hole in My Pajamas
There was a comment left on last week's blog that it should be a requirement to be married to review this show. Well hey, I'm engaged so that will have to count for now. I can certainly relate to a diamond ring in the middle of a cantaloupe, though. I mean, I shoved it deep inside a watermelon when I proposed and that worked out well. OK, I'm just kidding about that ? it was actually a pineapple.
Seriously though, most of you seem to think this show is crap. For some reason I think it's getting funnier. Maybe I'm demented (and maybe so are the four of you who said you liked it last week, too), but I think the five of us are right. This is really a quality comedy if you like lowbrow put-downs for 30 minutes.
How about Eddie throwing the engagement ring at Joy? When she complains about the ring hitting her in the boob he compares it to "pitching softball to a slow kid." Ha. The way he proposed the first time around was better, though ? straight out of
Top Gun when he asked her to "ride into the danger zone with me." Brilliant. We saw a new one, too: He actually asked the Woodcocks for advice! What a novel thing to do for Eddie. So he takes their advice and lights candles and tries bringing the sexy back, but the only thing that really turns Joy on is the fact that he fixed the toilet. Now that's love. There was one line that I'm going to have to learn to use on occasion in my own house. When I buy something expensive I'm going to have to quote Eddie, "It wasn't cheap, so feel free to take off my pants." That's of course provided I have pants on.
