wtf was up with that ending?

 

[Classic Speedy]

Great episode. Loved the fight between Hulk Jared and Alice, especially their purposefully lame taunts. LOL'd at the prisoner getting stung by bees and swelling until he exploded. Also found "Sorry, no dorks allowed", with Jared's picture on the wall, funny. The finale, with everything from the miniature world becoming monstrous due to the toxic waste, was appropriately chaotic but fun to watch.

wtf was up with that ending?

No idea. Did they clone themselves, or...?

At any rate, the twins actually got me to laugh for once, when they said "We want to play!" and shrunk themselves down and took the potion. "We win."

I guess there are still going to be the episodes where they don't try as much for a plot and just allow the madness and the psychoticness to happen visually instead of verbarly or writtingley. Guess it makes sense that'd be one of the eps to actually sort of feature Jack Knife (in the contest to see who'd regrow size) instead of one of the more talky ones since he's a mute. I guess there was another plot thread about Jared not feeling appreciated and being treated poorly by the staff and wanting vengence but that ended in a too short (thinking about it) fight with Alice actually (though both did at least exchange punches so that's something). So yeah in terms of actual plot this one really dosen't work for me as it goes from science to shriking to growing and nature out of control to some weird ending involving various twins. There were some good visual jokes though: the Guard Robot attacking the alien air ship, the random inventions as the Science Fair, The twins taking the formula, Jared's growth spurt, the random prisioners able to actual take out some of the insects (I like that the random violence isn't terribly onesided since it'd be boring if it was just prisioners beign killed each and every episode) and the Warden chasing that prize around. This is one of those that'd really just be better to see on mute and just enjoy the animation since paying attention to the plot makes you realize just how weak this ep's is.

That cockroach is awesome.

Great imagery as usual. So fluid. Also like Jared taking on Alice with the lame puns.

The ending... creepy.

Was it just me, or did the animation seem to be all over the place in this one?

Anyway, incredibly chaotic and a bit more disgusting than usual, though it's probably because we're dealling with insects here. Some of my favorite bits were how the 5 "volunteers" were shrunk and the bodybuilder cockroach.

Speaking of that, love the bit where the robot tries to pick up a prisoner but accidentally beheads him, then quickly grabs the fifth person he needs.

I like insects as much as is humanly possible without being some sort of weird insect anthro fetishist, so this had some of my favorite character designs and carnage yet. I loved the heroic cockroach coming to the aid of his extended family and getting away in the end (I was almost expecting him to fight the giant inmate in a Godzilla-esque climax)

The ending gave a little more insight into the twins. Apparently they're some sort of race. I found them annoying at the start of the series but I kinda like how eerie and unexplained they are at this point.

The picking on Jared was almost out of left field, though. They've never been particularly nice to him but they almost took it to out-of-character lengths in this one.

 

[CheezNapkin]

Loved the gratuitous violence near the end. Superjail is slowly becoming one of my favorite shows.

 

[Scythemantis]

I MAED TIHS.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

A science fair. Sounds fun. Good means of rehabilitation.
Too bad it's rigged.

Hmm. Comfort food.

Alice/Ultra-mega-Jared battle of the one-liners.

Don't kill him! We needed him for next week's intro!

THERE's that stream-of-consciousness violence we love this show for!

A Bug's Life 2: Heimlich's Revenge!!!

Crazy ending there.
