(S04E07) Great episode! Shake is at it again, destroying the world and I loved every second of it. He and Meatwad decided they wanted to make a Mucus Man, which is essentially what it sounds like. A little guy made entirely out of snot. His mouth is a strip of bacon though. But once he's made, they have to harden him. Apparently that's what you do with a Mucus Man -- harden him. With what you ask? A grill. Duh.Frylock's grill wasn't cutting it. He had an environmentally friendly George Washington grill. It was made entirely out of wood. So Shake went out and bought the new Char-Nobyl 6000. It's a radioactive grill. So once Shake turned it on, no one could really get near it. It melted the neighborhood, then a flood came, polar bears ate Meatwad, and then the Mucus Man came to life. He enslaved everyone and forced them to make more snot so he could make more Mucus Men. Oh, and they made Meatwad their king. Got all that? It was nuts, this episode was all over the place.
Tons of funny lines too. The tube-steak exchange between Carl and Meatwad was classic. Even better was when Shake started complaining that his Alton Brown saucepan melted. How else would he cook his balsamic reduction? Priceless stuff.
Anyone notice that quick scene in space? The grill's "patented flavor beam" blew up Emory and Oglethorpe's ship! I was really hoping we'd get a line or two from the Plutonians. Right after, we found out that Carl watches amateur porn his parents made. Eww.
What was with Shake and all the anti-Mexican comments though? That was random. I will admit that I laughed when he said they should find a Mexican to turn off the grill because "they'll do anything." Offensive stuff, but this show never seems to shy away from it.
In the end though, it was all a dream and the episode turned into a public service announcement. The message? Eat your boogers or else the Mucus Men will enslave us all. Good advice.
Favorite line?
Carl (to Shake): "I just came to see why my doorknob's covered in snot. And then I saw you. And I connected the two."

In the scene where the mucus men are forcing everyone to produce mucus, the house is no longer flooded, raising the question: in a dystopian future in which the earth is flooded because the polar ice caps have melted, would you submit to rule by mucus men if they at least got rid of the flood waters?
