Andrew Dice Clay!

8.0

By omelethc, Dec 10, 2011

Though I would not say that this episode was the best of this show, I definitely liked the cameo with the Dice-man doing his usual shtick, including such classics as the smoking around the head and obligatory "ohhh!"

Another thing I like is the absence of the grandmother in most of the episode. Even though she is only a peripheral character in most episodes, I hate how they have tried to make her more involved and changed the character to make her more lucid this season. It was an unnecessary discontinuity.

Jimmy finally grows a set a little in regards to Sebrina, which can only serve to further their pairing. He realizes that and points out that she indeed has faults; edging slowly away from his worship of her.moreless

- Burt: What has happened to you? You sound so heartless.
  Virginia: I am heartless where a billion dollars is concerned! Burt, people only get to charity after they have money. Do you think Oprah was building orphanages in Africa when she was poor? She wasn't. She was smoking crack in Baltimore.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The sequences at the inventors competition turn out to be filled with allusions to the movie The Wizard of Oz. From the emerald-colored set pieces to the lines: 'follow the yellow carpet", "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" and "You're a very bad man" together with the brains-heart-courage speech; Hope's ruby shoes being clicked together ("you could've gone home any time you wanted"); Maw Maw in witch-green avocado mask and black traffic cone hat cackling about her drippy ice cream ("it's melting!"). The homage is driven home over credits when the Chances mull over the idea of trying to watch The Wizard of Oz on TV past the first ten minutes for once and dismiss it (paying for a color TV then watching a black and white movie), concluding with the remark there's no place like home.
