    A good episode. hide show

    Bob Odenkirk was really funny in this episode. The storylines seemed much darker than usual. Michael was great in this episode. Alex sadly didn't appear in this episode. Oh, well. Gina starts dating a guy which Joey and Michael don't know about, so Gina starts to think if he's the right guy. Also Joey starts going to the same auditions as another guy who keeps getting Joey out of auditions. Anyways, a good episode with some weak parts.

  • This episode aired out of production order. Early spoiler reports had Michael Landes playing Joey's nemesis, but he was played by Bob Odenkirk when it aired. Perhaps these parts were reshot? []
  • Michael: All my friends have crushes on you, Mom.
    Gina: Yeah, well, I'm like, the third girl those guys have seen... []
  • Joey: What's more important, your space or your mother's happiness?
    Michael: My space. And I had to pretend to think about it. []
  • Bobbie: Look, you are screwing up your career! You don't show up for an audition, you scream at a casting director...
    Joey: Well, the only reason I did that is cause he's deaf.
    Bobbie: Who told you that?
    Joey: This actor. I see him at all my auditions. He gives me pointers.
    Bobbie: Oh, wait a second. Is he the reason why you went into an audition, you threw away your script and you start barking?
    Joey: Yeah. Did I get that part?
    Bobbie: Oh, Joey, he's messing with your head.
    Joey: What?
    Bobbie: Yeah, your little friend is shoving crap up your pooper. Joey... you're such a sweet, naive guy. But you can't let people take advantage of you.
    Joey: I really liked him. I can't believe this.
    Bobbie: I can't believe they take the fat out of my ass and put it in my lips, but they do. []
