Yeah, I thought it was funny, but I suspect my tolerance for that might drop if I ever spawn.
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

I had also had my fill of pedophile jokes with Sgt. Hatred. (A character I don't like anyway.) Also, this episode went over territory that was funnier in the live action Tick with Ron Perlman as Fiery Blaze. Not to mention Dean in drag getting married to Baron Underbheit.
O - 2, Ventures.

That said, I don't think pedophilia jokes are as funny as they do.
Giving Captain Sunshine rainbow colors was the real sticking point for me. That said, there were bits that made me laugh, and I'm always happy to see Doctor Girlfriend and The Monarch.

The lube thing was pretty funny. Especially when the Monarch got the costume.

I just watched Modern Family for the first time. I'd run out of Hulu so, despite major trepidation, I checked out an episode.
My hesitation came from the fact that anytime I accidentally flipped past an episode of Married with Children, another little piece of me died.
Turns out the two aren't alike at all. MF is actually pretty tender. Whodda thunk.

As depressing as last night's Mad Men was, the ending of the Venture Brothers was almost its equal.

Yeah, I've caught the end a few times because I tape Cougartown (which, BTW, I like way more than I thought I would). Anyway, MF seems funny and I wish I had been taping from the beginning.

Hulu is your friend megan. That's where I've seen all the eps of MF.

Me, too. I also like Modern Family quite a bit. They both were promoted to make me think I wouldn't like them, sadly. Glad I gave them a chance.
And, yet, not sorry that I'm not giving a chance to so many others.

Unfortunately my connection at home does not always work so well for video, Hulu in particular, but I will try.

I decided to give Cougar Town one episode, and then I saw that it had the kid from Aliens in America and Christa Miller, and I was hooked.
