Can't comment too much on this eppie since it came on WHILE we were sitting down to our Thanksgiving dinner. I did however see the scene on the roof with Fluffer Nutter and Jackie and woah!! Romance is officially in the show! :slybendy: That is, where it's a mutual atraction, not just a crush (or obsession) by only one of the parties, and a step further than a mutual interest. I found it hilarious! That scene and the one toward the end where Peas is telling Frankie what to say to the news anchor woman. I see it has few fans already. I likely will be among them, seeing it was indeed "TBC" all over again despite my hope and even expectation that the two episodes would have little to do with eachother, or maybe just a mistake in writing the synopsis. But I need to see it in the whole before really coming up with an opinion of it.

THAT scene with Jackie and Fluffer Nutters was probably the best thing in the episode, along with the killer dust mites(sorta reminded me of the spiders in The Ant Bully); those things really have it in for me, too, though in a different way. Like Wilt, I can't be too far from my asthma inhaler on account of those things, among others. BUT, I digress...yes, it does appear that romance, or at least relationships based on mutual attraction, IS no longer taboo. Rather than a one-sided crush that the crushee has no clue of, it's two individuals this time, and apparently one tried to go a bit too far(whatdya expect from a guy who dresses like a pimp for Halloween, and sings like Isaac Hayes in the end credits of "Schlock Star"?). Pretty much all of the taboos that were once outlined on TV.com a couple of years ago have been breached, except for the actual death of a major character, and that's one I really hope they keep taboo.

"Curse you and your long legs!" 8D

This episode wasn't great. But it wasn't a TOTAL letdown for me. I liked the scene with Khones and Fluffer Nutter. o_o

Personally I though "Imposter's Home was a better episode, but then again, that's not much of an insult coming from me. I liked "Imposter's Home", hence my avatar.

I didn't see this ep yet (darn dinner >_>) but I might not bother seeing it's bascially a TBC retelling as everyone says it is. Any saving graces?

I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I heard about Jackie/Fluffer making out. I freakin' want to see that NOW XDDD

Cassini90125 11-22-2007 08:13 PM

I truly wish they'd left that out. :P

The dust mites in the rug were funny but that's the only real high point; the episode was almost entirely focused on Peas and his efforts to get to Frankie, first to tell her that Cheese was in the house, then to unlock the door. It was a retelling of TBC but focused on a previously unknown character.

Nyo 11-22-2007 08:20 PM

Ah I see, I actually find retells of a story interesting, so I may catch it soon. :) Is Peas annoying in anyway? I heard he has a Mickey Mouse-ish voice.

(But I mainly want to see the make-out *bricked*)

Cassini90125 11-22-2007 08:23 PM

There's no "make-out" to see, thank the stars; it was only implied. >:(

I thought Peas's voice resembled a cross between Mickey Mouse and Mr. Hankey. Seriously.

Nyo 11-22-2007 08:29 PM

Oh OK, thanks for clearing that up. FHFIF is just one of those cartoons where romance is kinda random.

Mr. Hankey-ish voice? Haha, can't wait to see this ep.

bloonuggets 11-22-2007 08:40 PM

Was that Keith doing a Mickey Mouse impression in that episode?

This episode was... strange. I almost feel like taking it as non-canon, and take it for what it is; an alternate version of an already aired episode. I NEVER want to see Frankie like that ever again. I've always thought of her as a girl with a can-do attitude, and I was amazed that she saved the house at the end of TBC. After seeing this though, it makes it look like Frankie has a tendency to give up no matter what. Somebody mentioned Cheese looking brighter/paler before, and in the 5th season of this show, they've been using a different shade of yellow for one reason or another. A strange character, awesome moment between Jackie and Fluffernutter, and a really sour ending...

Somewhere between a C- and D+
