He wasn't that bad; he just made a tummy shame. On account of his diet: Head & Shoulders, toothpaste, and shit. Big pieces of shit. Considering how many of the episodes are based on the idea "They meet a freakish monster who wants to rape one of them," it's amazing they've managed to change it up so many times. I still say Old Greg is the creepiest.

To get into my usual tedious over-analysis mode: I think I would've stopped at "like The Wind in the Willows, if one of the animals went to London and became a crack addict." I guess part of the genius of the show is that they know how to set it up where all the references are implicit, and the interesting parts are how they spin it from there.

And yeah, watching them before bed is a problem. It's all got that weird dream logic anyway, so it lingers after you wake up and you spend the rest of the day with a song hook going through your head.

Has adult swim aired the one about Howard's birthday party yet? That's my favorite one.
