But few full-length movie comedies offer as much quick wit, sophisticated multi-layered political and pop-culture satire, or hilariously nuanced characterizations as a half-hour of ... "My Name is Earl"It's a 30-minute Jack Chick tract. Ray: in the pilot, he finds the lost ticket while picking up trash in a parking lot. Ray: see, he started doing good, and good things happen. Mr. K: yeah, that's really deep Ray: Episode four shows his friend released from prison, Earl proseltyzes him and his friend goes straight for a while, but stops doing good after one day because nothing good happened to him. Ray: His friend is caught trying to steal their lotto money and goes back to prison Mr. K: Yeah Mr. K: take that, Sartre Mr. K: maybe they should have a show about how great intelligent design is and be done with it Ray: they make fun of evolution in episode 2, when his idiot 35-year old brother goes back to high school Ray: idiot: "Did you know we came from monkeys?" Ray: Earl: "What were we before monkeys?" Mr. K: (cue laugh track) Ray: idiot: (bafflement) "I don't know." Mr. K: haha bafflement Mr. K: I can imagine this scene perfectly Ray: Along with the demons of temptation, his exwife is his foil thoughout, chasing the lotto money he won Ray: Her schemes are always defeated by her own sins Mr. K: GZA: "His hand was in everything including the pussy, from brazillian wax to the uncombed bushy" Ray: Exactly. |
