Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Duckman receives a letter from the IRS. The IRS agent is tough and Duckman is given 24 hours to pay $29,587.42 in back taxes. After asking his family for help and being rejected and lectured, Duckman tries anything. When he can’t raise the funds, he and Cornfed go on the run and then on the road. Bernice falls for the IRS agent who’s staying at the house waiting for Duckman to call.
Our Take
A solid road episode that leans on the odd-couple chemistry between Duckman and Cornfed, and it mostly pays off. The Bernice subplot back home is thin and the IRS agent isn’t as funny as the show thinks he is. Some sharp one-liners and a genuinely strange finale keep it moving. Worth a watch for fans, though it’s not one of the season’s stronger outings.
