The Bottom Line: "Superb"

While this season has been inconsistent, the prison episodes being teriffic, though a couple of poor fillers like another Cops and the Creative Writing, the coma being original, though the sitcom fantasy getting old fast, and Earl rushing into a third doomed marriage, which was funny but repetitive, My Name Is Earl was still very entertaining, and this was a great way to end the season. While there was a lack of the list this year, the show is more about karma in general, which was used very well, and was quite funny as well, and of course the white trash element of the show was still alive and well.

As for this episode, it is hilarious, particularly the Randy/Greta conversations, and Billie going insane after Earl really makes a stupid choice when deciding between a hot wife and a piece of paper. The ending with the trade of Greta for Billie to the Camdenites was an interesting choice and while it wasn't quite believable, it was still very funny, especially Earl's dreams of dying.

Overall, this episode is a great example of the third season, entertaining and original, and now that Earl's back to the list, hopefully next season will stay as fresh as this one has.

The Bottom Line: "Superb"

This episode is very funny, as Earl starts crossing off some bad things he's done to women, in an attempt to have a happy marriage. While this clearly shows that Earl's karmic beliefs have gone way into overdrive, since he thinks karma controls Billie's personality, it is quite funny.

As he finally crosses Didi off his list, with a bit of an anticlimax, as well as some hilarious moments involving Billie's cruelty, the episode is a great one, and while it seems the marriage is doomed to fail, it does prove that you shouldn't rely on a karma coma to make your decisions for you.

The Monthly Egonga Awards - November

As you may recall, I have strong feelings about the month of November. Still, I shall preservere, and endure, and maybe my ears won't be bleeding with unreleased rage by the time I'm finished with today's award ceremony.

So, without further waffle eating...

Worst TV Commercial/Advert
Nominees:

Clearasil Skate-Attack

There are no other nominees.

The Clearasil advert wins it because... well, it's creepy. So I mean, you get rid of your spots, so that means you can just attack girls and kiss them while they're down? "I guess now that I'm free of spots, I can go around town with a sledgehammer, knocking out pretty girls and doing stuff to them BECAUSE I'M CONFIDENT!"

Worst Aspect of Christmas
Nominees:

All these non-game games being advertised on TV, like Wii Music or You're In The Movies.
Incessant Christmas adverts - I've seen more mince pies on TV today alone than my entire family have eaten in their entire lives.
Cold weather
The tears of children as you tell them Santa isn't real... oh wait, that should be in the Best Aspect section. Ignore this nominee.
The same recycled Christmas songs on the radio as every other year since 1971.

And the winner is...

The non-game adverts.

I don't know why, but it infuriates me seeing crap like Wii Music or More Brain Training or You're in the Movies getting TV time when there are loads of good games out there like Fable 2 or, hell, I don't know, No More Heroes which are going to end up in bargain bins.

Worst Substitute for an Angel at the top of an X-mas Tree
Nominees:

A dead hamster
A note saying "IOU 1 Angel!"
An Optimus Prime action figure
Another Christmas tree - that's right, a double-decker tree!
"War and Peace"

And the winner is...

War and peace. Because as I was writing this list, I realised that the other options were kind of cool. Imagine a double-decker Christmas tree with Optimus Prime atop the highest tree, and he's holding the note. That'd be awesome. Not sure where the dead hamster would fit into such a plan, however.

What I can't be bothered doing in work award
Nominees:

Ringing some printer careline for a Printer Maintanence kit that my manager wants for some reason
Sorting out a lot of pre-2006 work in the storeroom
Ordering more rubber thumbs from stores
Taking a picture of the box-robot you guys made me make

And the winner is...

The printer thing. I'm not entirely sure what I'm even ringing them for - the stores catalogue doesn't have a Maintenance kit for OUR printer, so what am I supposed to ask? "Can you design and make us one for free, please?"

Not Really An Award Just a Song I Like Award

No nominees.

The winner is... Elbow, Some Riot

Heard it on Hollyoaks, it's a nice little ****cal song with a dark twist.

And finally...

Honorary Award for Best Cheese and Pickle Sandwich (Minus the bloody Coleslaw)
No Nominees

The winner is... Marks and Spencer. Oh sure, it's a HAM cheese and pickle sandwich, which would normally weaken it's position for such a title. However, it has some sort of sweet mayonaise on it and, I'm not too shamed to admit, I actually closed my eyes while eating it. It was that good.
