Summary Capsule
A strange virus hits the town of Leonardo, and there's a cute monkey.
Justin's Review
I have to applaud two great things about this episode. One, they mock Patrick Swayze (a hideous actor, we all agree) without mercy. Poor Swayze is seen working as a clerk at a pet store, naming various pets after his failed film career (although I hear Red Dawn 2 is in the works). The second great thing is the monkey. There's a monkey! And it has to be the best cartoon monkey ever, mostly because it blows excellent smoke rings.
After a brief "letter reading" segment (in which they are lambasted for their lack of girls and minorities on their show), the fun begins. A rancid box of "Descreeto Burritos" causes Randal to think that the Mutaba virus has hit the town, and suddenly they find themselves in quarantine. Meanwhile, Jay and Silent Bob adopt a monkey and teach it to smoke (ever the educational show). Big props to Baklava (James Woods), the neurotic commander who takes everything well over the top. Woods just rocks.
I don't know what it is, but monkeys are always funny. So that, plus a lot of other craziness, gets this episode a high rating (possibly 556.6). And there's the classic line "Nothing can kill the Grimace" that should be used in daily conversation.
