[Mr. Marshmallow]

Putting someone in a humouros situation is all well and good, making the outcome of said situation humourous, now that's another issue. Just because you put someone in a situation that could be funny doesn't exactly mean it will be funny. It mostly relies on the type of humor you are trying to implicate.

Maybe it's because I'm a die hard Frankie fan and she's sweet as chocolate ice cream, but I don't see the humor in putting her through hours worth of verbal and physical hell all because of some asshole who is purposely taking advantage of your'e good nature. Sympathy for this comes to mind more then humor.

It's usually funny when the person (by nature) is an ass or rude or has done something worthy of such a back lashing, or if the gags are more physical and three stooges like. But this episode's humor was just making Frankie miserable, and having everyone in the house verbally tear her down a peg or two.

And I know all too well of people's intentions being misread, but I personally dislike any form of character bashing, especially if it makes you feel sorry for the person being bashed, which was supposed to be the comedic part here. I felt the same way for Mac for "I only have Surprise for you".

Granted though, that episode had comedic elements outside of bashing Mac, such as Mac going commando crazy and Eduardo being the only one not in on it. But again, the end result was still nothing more then a slap in the face to Mac. It also doesn't help the fact that Frankie is quite underappreciated in the show.
