Review: Haha, You Clowns! “Bomber Jacket”

Overview

Preston loses his precious WW2 bomber jacket.

Our Take

Everybody has that one keepsake item that they never want to lose. For me it’s a pendant, for others it’s a bomber jacket from a war that one was never really in but pretends like he was so he feels like he’s got a special attachment to a historical artifact that may or may not be legit. Regardless, as Fight Club has taught us, the things we own, end up owning us, and that’s exactly what happens to Preston in this week’s episode of Haha, You Clowns!

Granted there’s not much of a search, rather a wait and see approach to getting Preston’s jacket back but means in which we eventually get said jacket back continue to be endearing silly qualities that the Cappa boys are utilizing to win their audiences over and it’s working. How can you NOT fall in love with this family and their extended families which may or may not include the twin police officers that show up to their door with a big polyester surprise.

Haha, You Clowns! is just packaging a big sweetheart into a bottle and pouring it all over the steak and potatoes that is the aesthetic, writing, and dialogue that makes this show a winner on all fronts.
