Taxi and Pinks Hot Dogs episode


Yet another hilarious (and weird) episode....

More hilarious illustrations, such as the concept boards of Jonathan the line cutter being sunk and eaten by sharks

Nathan uncovering the cab driver with "dark" secrets

The doctor trying to be sneaky and test the midwife's knowledge while pretending to be a mechanic, but the midwife not believing his Brooklyn cover story.

The concept extension that if a cab birth brings fame, a deliberate cab birth will bring *extra* fame.

The Pink's Hot Dogs bit had me cracking up the entire time. I can't believe how consistently funny Nathan is week to week.

First business started off funny enough, but I felt it got a bit too caught up with trying to make it work by the end. I know that was kind of the idea, but I got kind of tired of it by the end.

That beings said Pink's is easily in the top three businesses this season.

"That's the karma again, I didn't help Kenny so she beat me up with a telephone"

I loved the doctor's secret test, especially since his idea of "checking out the car" was asking her a bunch of questions about her experience, then kicking the tire. So convincing.

Then the end with the taxi owner pushing the couple to have their child in his taxi, and asking Nathan to find another pregnant woman. "The baby sign was gone from his eyes, and replaced with another dollar sign." "Andy, I respect you so much as a businessman, but I just don't think we see eye to eye as human beings."

I loved that Nathan told the Pinks owner that he wanted to take Jonathan out to sea to "teach him a lesson he'll never forget," which anyone would assume was just Nathan overstating it to the owner, as he reveals his mundane lesson to them and they're confused because they thought it was something terrible... but then they show the illustrations of Nathan's "initial plan" which is probably worse than the Pinks owners would have guessed.

And then when he does the gum shocking thing, being satisfied with that form of punishment as if it was just as bad as the boat sinking.

Great stuff.

It's a great episode. Comedy aside, it does teach people not to be greedy.
