Yes, I love Home Movie, one of the best shows on CN along with "Super Milk Chan", "2 Studip Dogs" & "Courage the Cowardly Dog" this one of my favort episode because Pendlehouse desides to put Brendon & Friends to a Scared-Straight program at a prison & over all pendlehouse was ahumorous villan.

- Brendon: (talking about his finger) That isn't loaded, it is? Pendlehurst: What did you say? Brendon: Ahem. Your finger...it's really, really close to my face. I'm having intimacy issues with it. Pendlehurst: Stand up...right...now. Edit
- McGuirk: You poured sugar in Pendlehurst's gas tank? Brendon: No. Some other kids did, but we ended up getting caught. McGuirk: So what's the punishment? Brendon: He's making us do this Scared Straight thing at the prison he used to work at. McGuirk: Scared Straight? You're already straight. Brendon: I'm already scared. Edit
- McGuirk: I've been to the can a few times, Brendon. That's what we call it, the can. So when you're there, you call it the can, all right? Brendon: What do you call cans in prison? McGuirk: You mean, actual cans Brendon: Yeah. McGuirk: Like food? Cans of food? Brendon: Yeah. McGuirk: Those are still cans. Edit
