Season 2 - Episode 8
Fox (US)
The National Invention Convention Extravaganza is in town and the gang decide to enter inventions. It's a very simplistic plot that serves no real purpose in the grand scheme of things. But we do get to see Patton Oswalt playing American comedian Andrew Dice Clay using a motion capture suit. So that's always fun.
Burt has a new friend, played by My Name Is Earl's Ethan Suplee, and they come up with yoghurt flavours for men (hamburger flavour and such). They think it's a fine idea, being white trash and all, so let's just go with it. Jimmy has an idea to put a mop like substance on a baby's belly and while they crawl they clean. Fair enough. And he uses the idea to get closer to Sabrina, because he listens to her ideas, whereas (the still unseen) Wyatt doesn't. The inventions are being judged by Clay, who as I said earlier, was really Patton Oswalt in a motion capture suit. That was the funny payoff to the episode. The emotional one is that Jimmy and Sabrina may have gotten a little closer still.
This was a perfectly acceptable episode of Raising Hope, not brilliant, but still very enjoyable.
*** 1/2
