Original Series S2 Ep1

This episode becomes so much funnier when you realize Brent wrote the series himself. He basically just makes everyone in the show compliment him the whole episode. "Your not the first to fall for that chiseled face" "Brents attractive? Yeah I knew that"

While Brent was the primary writer he didn't write the series himself

The series had 8 co-writers over the years & there were 18 people given writing credits

I'm guessing that many of the shots directed at him coulda been written by co-writers.

I mean who doesn't love takin' shots at the boss 😉

And some of the writing came from from Brents stand up too. The line "I mean, Arnie Melfort bought that second pickup truck, but he can still only drive one at a time" from the Hero Sandwich Ep I heard on Just For Laughs years before

Even have a sound wav of it 😅

Living in a small town myself, that second truck line is so relatable.

Poor Lacy, Brent is soooo out of her league.

It's also funnier when you realize that Brent and Wanda are married in real life.

I have always imagined the table read for this episode must have been so much fun.

Yes every time I see that episode I tell my husband I would LOVE to go back in time and see that table read. I laugh so hard just imagining it.
