Movies & TV

They're probably thinking of S03E06 or S04E03. It definitely starts to suffer from "prestige TV" anti-spoilers pacing, where a lot of random subplot antics might be ongoing, but the main arc just stalls out for the first 6 episodes or so AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PLOT MOVES (but not that much), etc., so all the showrunners have in the interim is gross-out gags. They painted themselves into a corner pretty early on and had to keep ratcheting up the ick factor to outdo themselves every other episode, so it gets into some deeply fucked up territory very, very quickly.

Bottom line, it's self-aware capeshit that lampoons the fash and its own capitalist overlords to the extent that it's allowed (something something subsuming critiques of capital unto itself), and is about as crass as your average early 2000's Vince Vaughan or Tom Green summer gross-out flick (well, maybe on the same level as Van Wilder). The writers seem to be well aware of this because they skip breaking the fourth wall and start kicking down walls we didn't even know we had yet, e.g.:
