Episode 6: TV Dinner

The gang gathers in Coop's' basement to watch the biggest wrestling event of the century. Unfortunately, cable and TV troubles get in the way. Coop's' brilliant plan to fix this is to use Megas to give his satellite dish a boost, and well...

The result is a planet-sized monster that eats radio waves being awakened, and it proceeds to head directly towards Earth.

This episode is defined not only by the sheer scale of the threat, what with Megas being swallowed by a planet-sized monster and having to fight it from inside, but also in its style of humor being distinct from the previous episodes in that this one focuses alot more on sarcastic quips and lampshades.

And ya know, it's almost always good to have variety. Not only in the humor, but in seeing various aspects of character too. For instance, sure, Jamie is a total wimp, but it was both funny and nice to see the side of him that gets his jollies come the end of the episode. Also, this episode has what is probably my favorite credits gag so far.

What also helps is that this episode features a bunch of great console gags, and lampshades thereof.

Oh, and of course, being in space won't prevent PoPTV stuff from getting blown up.

PoPTV stuff destroyed:

1. A satellite
2. A billboard
3. A car show
4. A news van
5. Another satellite

I also wanna highlight how cool it is that Coop absolutely owns who he is. Fat jokes? Sees them as a compliment. Call him lazy? Yeah, he admits it. He fully knows what he is and what he's about, and while sure, he's got a selfish side to him, he's still a good guy at heart and always tries to what what he thinks is right in the end. It's a very cool and positive message to send in what is largely a comedy show, and I respect it.
