Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, I don't care that I got spoiled. I'm just not impressed with the character they're adding.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Only got to see about half of the episode last night (the rest is on Tivo for tonight). So I can only really say that Mr. Shue's "Tell Me Something Good" was hilarious in that special way that blatantly over-the-top seduction attempts can be.

Trust my rage
I had to fast forward through the "Tell Me Something Good" because it was so awkward and cringe-inducing.

I think I ended up muting every number except the Queen and P-Funk ones.
ETA: Nope, I listened through the "Good Vibrations" one too, cringing all the way except when Mercedes sang the Loleatta Holloway parts.

Good Vibrations was fun cringing though.
I really didn't like the ep, all told. The Very! Special! Moment! with Mercedes and Quinn was cringe inducing. The "Man's World" was embarassing (would have been better without the "backup dancers"). Loser with Puck and Finn was great.
I was irritated with Shue, not because he did something shitty, but because he did something shitty and didn't own it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My Tivo hates Glee, apparently. Can someone briefly recap for me? What did Shue do?

He pretended to be attracted to Sue, then stood her up in a restaurant (track suit and pearls, kinda funny).

He decided that, to get himself out of his funk, and to get back at Sue, he would try to seduce her and then he stood her up. BUt there was this song where he was doing all sorts of hip thrusts and looking soulfully into Sue's eyes and I just literally couldn't watch. Even though I think he's hot and all that.
My question - when did Jesse break up with Rachel? I actually thought they broke up and then got back together for the whole meeting Rachel's mom thing. And I'm confused - Idina's character wanted to Jesse facilitate her meeting Rachel AND break her heart? I know - I'm expecting too much from a show that I should enjoy for the pretty.
I actually like the Good Vibrations song, but the Quinn/Mercedes moment was weird.

To be fair, "Good Vibrations" was cringe-worthy in exactly the same way it is when Marky Mark sings it.
It's a shame they didn't have a number by Sly and the Family Stone or the Isley Brothers in this episode.
I just have to turn the sound off any time Morrison attempts something like Funk or Hip Hop. He's great on ballads and show tunes and classic Rock, but he can only do Funk well when it's that Disco-era mix that's supposed to be lame, like KC and the Sunshine Band.
