Review: Kirby Buckets “Kirby to the Max”

Spoilers Below

Kirby is forced to give Todd his skateboard, but Todd knocks himself the fuck out in the process. Kirby takes the opportunity to promote the fact that he in fact knocked out Todd making himself a hero against bullies, but he sort of fudges up the details. Because of the altercation, Kirby has to take part in Saturday detention where The Colonel runs tickle fights underground which is probably the dumbest shit ever. Eventually, word gets around about Kirby’s actual story, but decides to team up with other bullies at detention and get even with the guy in charge. Mitchell shows up and shuts down the underground fight club.

While this is going on, Eli and Fish team up to eventually convince Todd that he didn’t get the shit kicked out of him. As a result, Todd tries to go after Kirby, but I guess Kirby’s got a support group now.

In by far the stupidest story line of the year, Dawn’s face is on a bunch of yogurts that are supposed to help your digestive tract. She doesn’t want people seeing this, so she goes to the S&B and buys up all the stock. Her random bully chick that I don’t care to research about shows up and wants to grab the cardboard cutout, but both end up shitting.

Our Take

I rather enjoyed the Kirby plot, despite Eli and Fish’s best efforts to make me want to throw my laptop at the TV. It was like Fight Club, but with writers trying to cute up the effort maybe a bit too much. Todd’s a terrible actor, and his teeth look like a row of flash drives in his mouth. And don’t get me started on Dawn’s yogurt deal. Maybe if we saw some real poo action I’d be a bit happier, but really you could throw this whole episode in the trash.
