Bunsen, Beaker. Focus!

Better Off Ted is making me laugh tonight!

1. They were the funniest episodes so far this season, imo

Lem trying to use cowboy metaphors was cracking me up. "And that's all I know about cowboys. No, wait. Beans." I could watch a show just about Lem and Phil!

Edited to add that it was nice to see that they finally brought back the Veridian Dynamics commercial. Woo-hoo!

2. I was happy about the commercial too!

Of course, now I love Portia De Rossi playing a straight woman, and Neil Patrick Harris playing a straight man on How I Met Your Mother. My gaydar is completely fucked up!

3. She was in rare form, too

The part where Ted was correcting her at Gordon Jenkins' memorial service, leading her to calling him “Carl Gordon Jenkins Gordon Jenkins” had me howling. Their timing is one of the things that makes the show so much fun.

The scene in the second episode where Lem and Phil were demoing the new wireless PA system with the knobs mounted on the user's chest like nipples was another great moment, especially when they both realize what the controls would look like if a woman were wearing them and start laughing like a couple of junior high school boys.
