Episode Report Card Mr. Stupidhead: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Life Is Too Beautiful
By Mr. Stupidhead | Season 4 | Episode 2 | Aired on 09.26.1999
And we're BACK to the kitchen, where Simon, Lucy, and SuperMom are sitting down to breakfast. Simon asks Lucy if she did her homework, and she tells him to mind his own business. Word, Lucy. Simon: "Well, I'm gonna round up the other kids as soon as I shave." Mr. Stupidhead: "'Kids'? 'Shave'? BWA HA HA!" Lucy: "'Shave'?" SuperMom: "When did you start shaving?" Simon: "When Dad came home from the hospital." Lucy tries not to burst out laughing, but lets a few snorts loose. Upon hearing this, Simon gets pissed and leaves. Mary and RevCam enter, and RevCam begins another speech about human connection ("as in the opposite of alienation"). He then tells the Dynamic Duo that while they're at school today, he wants them to "enlist the assistance of someone they had previously alienated." The Dynamic Duo exchanges a "wha-da-fuh?" glance as RevCam goes on to tell them to spread the word to the other siblings. Matt enters, announces he only has fifteen minutes until class, sees RevCam, and bolts upstairs faster than you can say "hot pants." Hot pants. Yep! That fast!
Up in the bathroom, Matt walks in on Simon shaving. Matt then laughs at Simon for shaving. Mr. Stupidhead laughs at Simon for shaving. Simon then cuts himself, whimpers, and says to his reflection, "No crying. Man of the house." Judging by the look on Happy's face, she thinks this whole thing is as ridiculous as I do.
Perfume is for your mother. I feel like busting loose. Juice Bar smells like fun, fun, fun. I'll bet it smells more like my, fat, ass.
Great. We're at school with The Dynamic Duo. As Mary approaches Lucy, she smacks some girl on the ass. Whatever. She asks Lucy what she's up to, to which Lucy responds, "I'm trying to connect with some alienated people, but I can't find any." Mary suggests that Lucy can do something for her, because she leaves Lucy out of her life all the time. Then she makes an awkward hand gesture, trying to imitate RevCam but failing because she is not funny. She then tells Lucy that she needs someone to warm up with for basketball. Lucy: "Well, I haven't felt the 'alienation,' so I don't want the 'connection'." Mary: "Well, you don't even have basketball. You don't have anything. So next year, you're gonna be a senior, and you're gonna have to figure out what college you're going to, and how you're going to pay for it, and I hope no one helps you with whatever it is you decide you want to do with your life." Lucy: "Okay, okay. If it means that much to you." Mary: "Forget it. You're better off deciding what it is you want to do in life." Hmmm. Yeah.
And we're at college, where Matt is telling John about his father's assignment for the day. Matt thinks it's bollocks, but John thinks RevCam may be on to something. It seems that John has been looking for a way to make up with Matt's girlfriend, Shana, because he knows that she isn't happy about the two of them moving in together so abruptly. Matt: "Well, here's your chance. Here she comes." Enter Shana (or Chickenhead, the first word that comes to mind when I see her), who embraces Matt as he tells her, "I have to run." Matt takes off, and Shana yells "OKAY! Run! Have a good day! I'll talk to you later, when you have time for me between your job and your new apartment." Well, I guess I can cross that off my "if you missed last week's episode" checklist. Not. Any old cow, Shana and John stand awkwardly for a moment, and then John asks, "I was wondering if you could help me with something." Shana: "Yeah, probably." John: "Well, I'm new here, I'm still kind of lost. You think you have some time to take a walk, show me around?" Shana: "Yeah. I guess. I'll take a walk with you." Mr. Stupidhead: "[Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.]"
