Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and this week Supernatural took a relaxing spa break from
the war for heaven and hell in what I like to think of as a cross between an X-Files
episode and a *** Doo Mystery. Extra special shoutout for LunchLady Dean, second only to
Dog Dean.
Quick heads up before we get started, because olympics supernatural isn’t back until feb
25th in three weeks. So if you’re looking to re-watch an episode. I would recommend
first born or anything with abaddon and crowley in it.
Since this episode was tailor made for funny bits let’s do our Top 5 funniest moments
and then I’ll do my review.
Number 5 - Sheriff Donna, Dean and The Donuts. Dean eating like a pig is always hilarious.
But we have to give credit to Sheriff Donna for being his wingman on this joke. She’s
just casually stuffing her face with white powder on her lips when the camera cuts to
Dean licking his fingers and looking like he just stuck his whole face in that box of
donuts.
The best part is that Donna and Dean don’t acknowledge it at all and Sam just sighs.
uuggh.
Number 4 - We Have All Kinds of Certifications. They gave away lunchlady dean in the teaser
last week, so this wasn’t a surprise, but just the preposition of dean in a hairnet
is epic. He gets all the best fake jobs. Not to be outdone though, the idea of richard
simmons Sam was good. Seriously though, can we talk about how Dean is always the one to
jump in head first to crazy situations. And Sam always follows along.
It’s like Sam is still a little kid following big brother dean around. Even though he’s
way taller and kind of hates him right now.
Number 3 - Downward Dog for 5 minutes. I’ve actually done yoga and 5 minutes in one pose
is a lot, but it’s not that bad. I loved the look on everyone’s faces.
And the idea that Sam knew yoga because he “dated someone bendy too”.
Number 2 - The Fat Vampires. Saying it that way makes it sound like a really bad Twilight
spinoff. But as gross as it was, it was really watching sam and dean react to it all. I couldn’t
stop mentally associating the pudding with the jars of fat in the fridge.
If you’re able to get through a cupping session after this you are a champ.
Number 1 - Something is in the pudding. Dean getting roofied is a little dark just because
of what roofies are normally associated with. But just watching him *** after the pudding
was the funniest part of the episode.
You have lunchlady dean getting dumped on by his supervisor, who then tells him he can’t
touch the pudding. So naturally Dean immediately runs off with some. How great is it that he
ran into the closet to eat it.
I just want a clip reel of Sam catching Dean eating in weird places. Like catching a dog
eating off the table. That’s a bad dean, that’s a bad bad dean.
I just see the crestfallen look on his face now. I’m sorry, i was hungry.
Let me know what your favorite moment was, are you team yoga or team lunchlady. I have
to say, I’m lunch lady all the way. I even sang the adam sandler song a little when he
showed up with the hairnet on.
Overall I had to give the episode a B minus just because it was a retread of old material
in a new setting. Plus sometimes Dean and Sam’s attitude’s on monsters and killing
is inconsistent. In fairness to dean hating monsters, he still has that mark of cain.
So that might be making him aggro way more.
I did have fun with the fat vampire twist and the whole concept of the weightloss spa.
The health nut slash eating disorder satire was a nice moral throughline. Moderation is
key, in all things both monster and winchester. If only dean could just learn to chill on
all the instant gratification.
I think the big journey for Dean this season in addition to killing abaddon is learning
to be a real human being. He’s kind of been living this parody life up to this point.
Which is probably why he didn’t know how to live without Sam and why he can never settle
down.
This deep in the season I feel like they really need to be focusing on those main plot lines.
Like Crowley, Abaddon,Castiel and Metatron. Gadreel is kind of like a second tier character
at this point.
I’m 99 percent sure they’ll get a season 10, so the real question is if Dean is going
to learn anything as a character, or if he’ll still be dealing with the same personal issues
next year.
Let me know what you think yes or no, is Dean going to be the same old dean in season 10.
