Both were funny, but I'm mostly talking about "Grandpa's Sister."

9.1

"Superb"

By BTRAV, Nov 19, 2005

Arnold: Grandpa, you can't jettison Aunt Mitsy out the window.
Grandpa: Sure I can. It worked with Oskar and they're about the same size.
[camera pans out the window to show Oskar stuck in a tree]
That was really good. As for "Synchronized Swimming," Coach Wittenberg still has issues. I didn't like that one as much.

  EDIT SHARE
- At dinner, Grandpa Phil did something to his sister's yams and then it looks like she ate them, so Arnold's grandma offers her some more. She then admits that she hates yams and scooped them onto Arnold's grandpa's plate, but in the next instant, you see yams on her plate again. How can she eat those yams when they were gone and she hates them?
