Bob’s Burgers – Sacred Cow

It’s a very special day at Bob’s Burgers as Bob is on track to cook his 100,000 burger. He has the kids join him in the freezer to make the special announcement and display the meat that will be used. After Bob’s announcement the kids each take turns going around the room making announcements of their own. Tina starts them off by announcing that her bra is chaffing her followed by Gene’s declaration of his love of house music. Louise announces that she’s finally getting her gun license; this is followed by a genuine congrats from Tina and Gene’s disgust by the fact that she had to wait three days to get it. Linda ends the banter when she busts out the banner that they had printed from their “old computer”. The gag is that it’s from a dot-matrix printer and has the dotted edges that still need to be torn off. She finishes by saying that they should have hit 100,000 a long time ago, but were way off.

Durarara! Episode 2 – Highly Unpredictable

The second episode is a bit different from the first. The pacing changes as does the narrator. This time we have the voice of the Black Rider narrating as she unveils the events that we weren’t privy to in the last episode. Events like, what happened to the girl she saved once she was dropped off? The episode works to wrap up a lot of questions and scenes unanswered in the first episode and make both episodes stronger because of it.

It’s the first day of school and Mikado Ryugamine is introduced to the class as a new transfer along with the girl that was saved by the Black Rider. A third girl with glasses is introduced by the name of Anri Sonohara. It becomes very apparent that Mikado has interest in her as he can’t seem to look away. The narrator then focuses on the girl who she saved the night before.
