Don't get the last part. and seems like a great deal of Rube-Goldberg Machine inbetween the reporter and the explosion is omitted.

But... Jintan, hasn't seen that since elementary school XD

I doubt many would have understood the last reference without having watched Pythagoras' Switch before. They do the Rube Goldberg machine thing at the beginning, end and throughout the segments of the show.

And I'm guessing the wig thing made him abandon his maintenance work on the plant which caused its explosion.

So basically the conclusion everyone, including the characters are coming to, is that this show will never see the light of day after its run is over?

No that can't be right, it's like I have faith that nothing could possibly beat what we've got here in terms of offending people.

i mean South park, Drawn Together, Family Guy.
Hell, they've got hentai, and stuff like Panty and Stocking.

And yet I can't get rid of the nagging feeling that they're like a troll on 4chan who begs to be banned to stroke his own ego!
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Loved Marii's Haisai Ojisan performance. I guess the pun was intended, since she was called an ojisan a couple of times this episode.

that guy is not a news announcer, but I guess he is Nishiyama, who is a division manager of TEPCO and was responsible for explaining what was happening in the nuclear plants at that time. Many Japanse people blame him and TEPCO for not reporting the reality of the plants and not doing enough to prevent the serious nuclear accident. In this episode, his abandonment of job results in the explosion!

The Pythagoras Switch part won this episode for me.

Time to go watch them on repeat because sleeping/studying is never an option.

This was the most funny episode so far that Yakuza fight and those disturbing guys pretending to be Kabuki actors.
Also the District 9 reference of Johannesburg being dangerous.
The part about the dentist was also nice.

So, poor Marii had a cavity around the end. xD
Oh no~! They extracted it in a pretty cool way, though. :3

Other than that, Halloween in Japan! xD

I think this is my favorite episode so far. Shots fired at the US, Disney, and others. Even more breaking of the fourth wall than usual, and a lot of spastic nonsense, references, funny voices, funny faces and hilarious bits! I loved every second of it. I don't think there's a single episode yet that I thought was boring or didn't have something funny in it. This anime is totally underrated!

Also this time, the characters' clothing, when they are on leave, is a bit surprising. Narration that has the sympathy and the usual elucubration on its arguments which, if you think about it, make you think a lot.
