Episode Summary & Review
Summary
We get to see a typical day in Cricket’s world and then a possible redemption when his family intervenes. Will Cricket finally move on from the gang, finding love in the process? Will Cricket go from filthy beast to his former self, Matthew Mara?
Our Take
A rare episode centered on Cricket, and David Hornsby runs with it, turning in some genuinely sad physical comedy as his day goes from bad to horrifying. The redemption angle has a few good gags, but the joke structure gets predictable well before the ending, and it leans harder on shock than wit. Worth watching for fans of the character, though it’s a middle-tier outing overall.
