Review: Haha, You Clowns “Hot Tub”
Overview
The boys beg Dad to let them get a hot tub.
Our Take
I’ve never had a hot tub before so consider this week’s episode of Haha, You Clowns a bit of a documentary for me. Now I’m wondering if I really want one at all, I mean the upkeep, the fear of diseases spreading, the talk of circumcision, all of this seems terrible and not worth the effort to buy a $10,000 tub that sits outside and raises a finger to your neighbors who may or may not think you’re an asshole for buying one in the first place.
The Campbell Boys aren’t assholes but they take one for the team by showing us, the lucky viewers, the horrors of the in-home appliance and the result is by far the most violent episode of Haha, You Clowns that we’ve seen this season. Between the blood, the sores, and the eventual awful singing in front of the elderly, hot tubs seem like a bad idea all around and I’m glad we’ve got heroes like Joe and Dave Cappa to warn us of such.
No, this one doesn’t turn into a time machine, but it does turn into a reminder to make sure you scrub out your hot tubs because who the hell knows what else is in there that you may not know about?
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
