I think I can chalk it up to the fact The Glove Slingers series, with a few exceptions, just feels too…neurotypical for a guy like me. Jocks and “casanovas” fighting over the pretty girl at college dances - bleh. But that’s more a reflection on me than the series itself, I’m just not it’s audience, with the occasional trivia point of interest being the exception.
In this one, I do dig our patron saint, Al Thompson, getting his dose of slapstick. Homok also hit the nail on the head. The picture with the pretty girl, her being dressed up as a mechanic fixing her car and guy not realizing it’s her and guy being rude to her is straight out of Harold Lloyd’s WELCOME DANGER. Clyde Bruckman and Felix Adler wrote that one too. As far as I know, this one was not brought up in the lawsuit, but if it was, I wouldn’t be shocked.
Yeah, agreed, the racial gag is very cringe worthy.
