29 July 1994
Improv Game Show
VHS
B-

This is sort of a C+ and a half.  That is, it's mostly a C+, except for the last two games and the credit-reading, but compared to its peers, it's the best episode of the series so far and needs to be rewarded for that.  Frost is OK, but this episode is mostly about watching Tony, Josie, and Ryan interact, whether in the Bartender, where Ryan and Josie turn Ryan's love for his teddy bear really dirty, and Josie and Tony himself make fun of Tony's names, real and imaginary; and Party Quirks, where Josie is a penis, Ryan is a baby learning to walk, and Tony is utterly baffled and amused.  The third-best game is Helping Hands, with Josie and Ryan as two women in the ladies' room and Tony providing the hands for Josie, not for the last time.  Josie regrettably makes a Bobbitt joke, but it's Ryan's reactions to things like Josie pretending to mistake a tampon for a cigarette that make the game work.  And the credits are Ryan and Josie as a couple arguing over his little black book.
