    Earl is such a nice guy. He's so filled with good intentions that I want to be on that list. Don't you? I was amazed by that golfer's luck. Earl gets him his job back, his girlfriend, his home, and even Poochie the dog. Gosh, it's so easy to break a man, but it takes a lot of work to mend him back. This karma stuff is hard.

    Some of the highlights: Randy and Earl in their golf get-up and putting golf balls in the hole; the burning cross and swastika; "Have you seen this person?" picture; and those state fair commercials. They're Bear-awesome. Who says Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth?moreless

    I have never really picked up a show other than the OC as fast as I picked up this one. It is just awesome. Beer and the Bandit are an unbeatable combination. I hope the show goes on until he actually finishes the list. And by the way he keeps anding things to the list, it could be a while.

    Another great episode from, to me anyway, this suprisingly great new show. Golf, bear, fair bare, and the car from smokey and the bandit, what else could you ask for in one 30 min episode. Not much, the humor and newness of the show still sticks around because of his list, which he actually added to this episode.

    Earl strikes again. This is by far one of the top comedy shows that are aring in the US. Earl is the best anti-hero of our time. In this episode the writers show that the list can hold many crazy plot twists. If one has to criticize some, I would have to say that the fact that Joy and Crabman didn't appear was unfortunate. These two characters brings more freaky twist to the show.
    But Randy and Catalina were in their prime. The idea to original to manipulate the sad golfers play in order to get free beer is so amazing that it would almost outrank a finer episode of The Simpsons.
    I hope that will see Earl cross out at least a hundred things on his list.

    This is a redreck classic ;p I like the classic free beer attitude. I can see my friends sitting in on this episode and no one would notice! haha This episode was a little more laid back than most. I could stand for a little more chuckle but it is Earl so it was good.

    • Scott: Tess kept begging me to take her to Colonial Williamsberg, but when we broke up did she go? No, she went to Ozfest and churned some guy's butter. Edit
    • Earl: Randy, I can't enjoy myself at the fair unless I cross something off. Randy: All right, so take something easy. Not the deaf girl that's gonna take forever. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • When "Everybody's Talking at Me" plays while Earl rides on the bus missing Randy, this is an allusion to "Midnight Cowboy," in which the two main characters ride a bus at the end, while this song plays. Edit
    • Earl: "...like that guy in Ferris Bueller did."

      The title character of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off was portrayed by Matthew Broderick, who is obviously not John Cusack, who was in Say Anything... This 'error' is probably intentional. Edit

    • Since the theme of the episode was Smoky and the bandit, there is a part, during the end credits of the Earl, where various outtakes and bloopers are shown. In the Smoky and the Bandit movies, during the end credits, there are various clips of the cast's bloopers and outtakes. Edit
