WTF??

HOLY SHIT!! That is the most vile and disgusting thing I've ever heard a character on a TV show say. What is wrong with the writers? Are they trying to gross us out, or push our buttons??

And then Carol has a baby in her sleep? And then she slips one out while two other characters are talking 15 feet from her?? COME ON! What about the cord? Who cut the cord?? HOLY CRAP! Let's stick somewhere near reality.

This show is getting dumber and dumber. I don't know how long I can continue to watch.

I'm beginning to think the whole thing is one big Tandy fever dream.

That's a good theory, but I think the operative phrase here is "nightmare". Ah, for the first season when it was actually funny!

I guess once you run out of how many things you can hit with a forklift, you're out of ideas. The dinosaur costume was funny, though.

I never really got into the dinosaur costume, but then that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

People eating the placenta isn't new, some believe it's a source of crucial goodness for the baby. The mother eats it and it will get to the newborn baby through breastmilk.

Giving birth to a baby while sleeping does seem silly, and the second birth in the background was just ridiculous. I think the show's humour got good in the prior episodes of S4 andI thought it had finally found its perfect balance but the last episode with the births has lost the plot a bit. The missing umbilical cord was confusing. You'd think they'd let Tandy get up and cut it.

Doesn't matter. It's still the grossest and most disgusting thing I've ever heard a character utter on TV. YUCK!! GROSS!!
Gag me with a spoon!

And show is getting weirder and less funny with each episode. It's definitely jumped the shark.

I am betting they will literally have a jumping the shark scene.

What a GREAT idea! That would be VERY cool! They might just have the balls to do that.

Most mammals eat their placenta and it was a thing for awhile, even some celebrities got into it. I thought it was hilarious.

Yeah, and some primates throw their shit at each other and us. It's still extremely gross and unfunny IMHO.
