Better Off Ted is slowly maturing into pretty watchable and enjoyable genre of comedy; which I would categorize as 'wacky'. Some crazy references like Bhambha's half-human-half-computer which is pooping out acid because of a stomach ulcer is a good laughable concept. There are also other things like the ultrasonic gun which can make subjects hear things like some voice in their head. We also have the usual comedy involving the ass-staring sexual tension between Ted and Linda. And, course, the limits which Veronica goes to relieve her work pressure. Phil and Lem also provide the usual nerdy lines, which I thought was clearly missing in the earlier fight club episode.

Looks like the show will get its sophomore season.moreless

- Ted: You might say Veridian Dynamics is like a finely tuned watch. That's Dale. He even has a big hand and a little hand. Edit
- Ted: So, what is it? Phil: We call it "The Voice of God." Ted: No, we don't. Phil: No, we don't. Edit
- Linda: Field testing shows that the subject, or "victim," as I like to call people "helped" by Veridian Technology, can be hundreds of feet away and will hear the message as though it's being whispered only to them. Phil: It's highly persuasive. Advertising companies are very excited because it will allow them to burrow even deeper into the human brain. Edit

- Linda: Okay, first of all, "the fish" has a name. He's MacGyver. Referencing the iconic 80s action hero and the TV series of the same name, starring Richard Dean Anderson in the title role as a adventurer, environmentalist, rescue worker, and spy whose specialty was improvising solutions to problems using common items.
