Okay guys, I hate to say this, but this episode was not great. It was still funny, but it was easily the weakest episode of the season.

Jack, still mourning his dead mentor Don Geiss, meets a peacock and becomes convinced the peacock is the reincarnation of Don Geiss.

No, really, that’s what happened, and I wish I was lying.

Jack takes time out from his relationship dilemma and meets a peacock, and they become friends. And the peacock pees on Liz, marking her as its…um, wife, I guess. I don’t know what peacocks would call their significant others. Liz has bigger problems to deal with this week than a peacock, like Jenna’s insane boyfriend Paul, who also happens to be a Jenna Maroney impersonator. Which is kind of perfect, since the person Jenna loves most is herself.

Will Forte was the best part of the episode because he was just so creepy. He made my skin crawl when they sang All By Myself, and it’s sad that the best part of the episode was the part that made me the most uncomfortable. They also did Muffin Top, which was whole grain, low fat, and effing terrifying.

Grizz turns out to be engaged to a girl named Fiance, which rhymes with Beyonce. We also learned that he once went to a summer camp called Above the Beanstalk, a free camp for giants, and he “really was the Sam and Diane of this place.”

I love Grizz and Dot Com. They are hilarious, and I wish we saw more of them.

What did you all think? Were you kind of disappointed in this week’s episode? Leave your two cents in the comments and for the love of God, stay away from peacocks.
