  • After ruining his ex-wife's wedding day, Earl gets in touch with his feminine side (and inadverdently with ex-wife Joy) as he helps her plan the trailer park trash version of an ultimate wedding.moreless

    Every character has a chance to shine in this hilarious and touching episode. Earl brings out the best in everyone, including the heretofore flat Darnell. Pressly is extraordinary as she takes a lead role for the first time, soon-to-be-classic lines of dialogue rolling off her tongue like rhinestones. The pizza buffet rehearsal luncheon is a prime example when she reminds her friends that a small drink is really a large, only with a few extra steps. Boasting a bedazzled bride, break dancing, and that classic wedding song, Bust a Move, this episode epitomizes what is best about this series. Unlike most sitcoms, it is all about genuine characters living to the best of their abilities, sometimes classy and sometimes trashy, but always heartwarming.moreless

    At the end of it I just couldn't stop hearing the song "is it love, is it love, is it love, is it love that I'm feeling!!"...so nice!! and very funny the moment where Earl tells Darnell that he slept with "his wife" and the other answers back "you did the same!"...

  • I loved the story and acting in this episode, along with the fact that it showed sexy Catalina dancing and "shaking her stuff" at the end.

    This was truly a fun and hilarious episode of "My Name is Earl." If you like this show you will love this episode. If you have never watched this show, what are you waiting for? Find someone with a TiVo and make friends with them. One of the things I like best about this show, aside from the humor that is abundantly redneck, is Nadine Velazquez - aka Catalina the motel housekeeper. Along with her ability to bring a lot of humor for a side-line character, she is one of the most stunning women on TV. I am always waiting to see what she is going to say funny on each episode and to see some more of her natural beauty. If you too are a "Catalina" fan, make sure and catch this episode - she shakes her stuff at the wedding dance scene.moreless

    This ep. was really funny i loved when Earl kicked the soccor ball into Joy's face that was great. Also, when Earl and Crabman were fighting in the ball pin because he thought Earl meant he was sleeping with his mom. THis ep. has to be one of my favs it's just so great and when Crabman's mom and Joy met that was so funny. Props to this one.

    Alright, this episode has to be one of the funniest episode I've seen in My name is Earl. Alot of great moments happened in that show. Joy getting hit by a soccer made me fall off my chair, Earl sleeping with Joy with Cherry Pie playing was quite watchable, Crabman beating the crap out of Earl was one of the funniest thing I've seen in the show, Catalina dancing was the sexiest thing I've seen, and Earl breaking dancing was just hilarious. the show also helped develope Crabman's character. It shows how forgiving Crabman and Earl be despite their differences with Joy.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In this episode, we see several members of Crabman's family. This creates an odd continuity question as Darnell is shown to be in witness protection in a later episode. However, according to Greg Garcia, Darnell's family moved to America after he got put in the Witness Protection Program. Edit
    • List Trivia: Introduced and crossed off in this episode #261 (new) Ruined Joy's wedding. #262 (new) Slept with Crabman's fiancée. When Earl crosses the two tasks completed, you can see that previously completed task (Made Donny Jones serve jail time for crime I committed) remains uncrossed. Edit
    • Recurring sight gags: Earl wearing his one suit (bought on the advice of his defense attorney); Earl can't take a picture with his eyes open. Edit

    • Joy: You're gettin' boob glitter all over my face! Edit
    • Randy: For the reception, how should I have my chicken, grilled or McNuggetted? If I check McNuggetted, you think they'll let me have two different dipping sauces? I like hot mustard for the first bite but I like to chase it with a little honey on the second bite. Y'know, it's like having a small meal followed by a tiny dessert every ten to fifteen seconds. Edit
    • Earl: Whoa! Crabman, you know how she is? You can't be that surprised? (Darnell punches Earl) It's not like the first time it's ever happened, we used to do it all the time. (Darnell hits Earl again) Come on, Crabman I didn't get mad when you slept with her. (Darnell punches Earl) Darnell: You take that back, I've never had sexual relations with my Mom. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The Nice Price When Earl shows up at Joy/Darnell's trailer with the candle holder and CDs (Monsters of rock and Monsters of Rap), He mentions that he got them at the Nice Price. The Nice Price was a marketing tool used by Epic Records back in the days of vinyl. A new album would come out and be sold at the list price. After a few months the price would come down a buck or two and a black and orange sticker added next to the price tag. That sticker read: The Nice Price. Edit
    • Demi Moore Earl: I was just being nice so we can get along better like Bruce and Demi. Referring to actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, who got divorced in 2000 Edit
    • Randy: Like when that guy got kicked out of Van Halen for wearin' them stupid pants. Then they got even more famous. What was his name? His name was David Lee Roth. Roth was known for his outlandish stage presence and outfits. Depending on who you ask, Roth was fired/quit Van Halen in 1985 and was replaced by Sammy Hagar. Van Halen sold more records with Hagar than Roth, but when they were better is up for debate. Edit
