Just watched last week's episode and I agree that this was probably the poorest one ever, which is a pity, as this series started so well.
The squirrel thing was just unfunny and unnecessary. It felt like something they'd shot at some point but didn't bother including, and that this week's show was a few minutes too short and they shoehorned it in. Making the squirrel leap up and bite Jay on the knackers would have been funnier (if, perhaps, a little bit Christmas Vacation)
Trying to make Will's Mum too 'unaware' about the bouncing up and down didn't work either.
What was the point of Simon's golf tournament ? Was it just so they could squeeze in a Down Syndrome joke about the way he was dressed ?
None of the rest of it was particularly funny either. Just going on about Will's mum, but without any humour. I really don't think I cracked a smile once all episode.
I know I'm probably over-analysing but it is so disappointing when a good programme goes bad. I'm with the school of thought that would like stuff to stop when it is good rather than go the way of 'Two Pints Of Lager'...
As a slight P.S., loaRAB of programmes and films now seem to refer to using hand-lotion whilst 'pleasuring oneself'. Is that a new thing ? I don't remember it ever being part of the set-up in the past..
