Hopefully, they’ll go back to their usual style soon. It wouldn’t be the first time AD’s gone through a weird musical patch - many of the new songs in Season 2 sounded like 1940’s circus music or something... not that I’m complaining, it actually DID fit quite well - it was just quite different from the sound of Season 1’s score. So far, I think that the music in every Season 3 episode has been up to AD’s usual standards, but here, the new songs just didn’t fit (the old ones were used well for the most part, though). |
I really enjoy season 2’s music and I’m also a fan of this episode and it’s music. The only bad music they’ve ever played is the teen music in Spring Breakout which was in the background anyway. Ad’s music is fantastic though. I never have any complaints apart from that one which too be fair was playing because it was at a teen spring break thing. I also think Oscar deserved a larger role but losing 9 episodes may have contributed to that. They may have had an Oscar plot rolled out for later. Also Annyong’s probably would have been a lot better. What would have been funny though was to have the mention Annyong in the apartment and then cut to Annyong quickly in the walls saying Annyong back.

I actually enjoyed that music, it captured the setting perfectly. Just, the music in the episode felt... off. It wasn’t bad, it just belonged in a drama, not a comedy. The show’s always had a great score, but there were definitely some strange patches throughout Season 3.

Yeah, the music absolutely ruined Prison Break-In for me. That little clarinet thing they kept playing annoyed me to no end.

Good God. I only got this because of a mistake. My HR Management professor was talking about something or other, and mentioned "Superman’s wife; who was that?" And I said "Lois Lane," who is, of course, Superman’s wife. But she was like, "No, no, in real life." And I realized she meant Christopher Reeve’s wife - Dana.
Which is also what Lindsay means. I spent all this time going, "Why does she say Superman’s wife? Superman doesn’t have a disease. And no one even knows Clark is Superman so they don’t know she’s the wife of a superhero either." I’d call myself an idiot, but actually, I stand by my confusion. I thought my professor was an idiot for saying "Superman’s wife," and I feel the same way about Lindsay.

I think at this point, they knew "Her?" wasn’t funny, but they HAD to do it. You would have noticed it’s absence, but it’s presence can just be overlooked.

The worst AD episode. The turtle storyline made me chuckle, but this episode is pretty much laughless besides that.

This is my least favorite episode out of all 3 seasons. I mean, it’s AD...there are funny parts, but it’s a bit "sitcomy" in it’s structure (although irreverent with the whole Graft Vs. Host thing)

I thought it was trash when I first saw it, but upon rewatching I didn’t find anything that bad.

I don’t really like the episode much but I do love Actor’s studio guy and Gob’s tattoo is pretty funny. Also I like the bit at the start. Jason Bateman captures the exact sound of bad singing and guitar playing.

I just watched this episode for probably the 8th time, and this was the first time I noticed the prisoner escaping with the jetpack in the final frame. Hilarious!
