Recap / House Broken S 1 E 6 Whos Getting Cold Feet

Go To

Honey being the officiator at Shel and Lindsay's, his shoe girlfriend, wedding has her be given the opportunity to finally bring Shel to reality while Shel's bachelor party ends up with most of the boys in the therapy group doped up on toad.


Tropes:

  • Cutaway Gag: When Max mentions the "surprises" in Nic Cage's garbage cans, we cut to a scene of Cage jumping out of a can and scaring a garbage collector.
  • Higher Understanding Through Drugs:
    • Getting high actually makes Chief smart. He has some insight on love and rushes over to tell Honey before the effect wears off, but by the time he gets home, he's sobered up and is his usual dumb self again.
    • Licking the toad also allows Shel to accept that his fiancĂ©e Lindsay is just a shoe.
  • Mushroom Samba: Those who lick the toad end up having hallucinations. Chico sees his kittens fly away, Max sees Nicolas Cage with him, and so on.
  • Only Sane Man: The Gray One is the only one in Shel's bachelor party who does not lick the toad due to being rightly suspicious of Raccoon.
  • Open the Iris: Everyone who gets high on toad has dilated pupils.
  • The Reveal: Shel's old girlfriend Darla was never dead. She had simply gotten lost wandering around the backyard for fifteen years.
  • Snakes Are Sexy: Raccoon hires a snake named Amberconda to perform at the bachelor party, who seductively slithers around Shel and sheds her skin like she's stripping.
  • Stag Party: The episode takes place at Shel's bachelor party, during which the male animals get high from licking a toad and watch a snake stripper.
  • Strong Ants: When Lindsay doesn't walk down the aisle, Tchotchke summons ants to move the shoe and keep Shel from being disappointed.
  • Swallowed Whole: At the end during the credits, an overzealous bear swallows Cane, instantly collapsing from overdose. This necessitates The Gray One reach down the bear's throat to pry out Cane and save him.
  • Take That!: While watching the stars, Chief talks about how humans use horoscopes to make ill-advised life decisions.
  • Toad Licking: Raccoon brings a toad named Cane to the bachelor party to lick and get high.
  • Wedding Episode: The focus is on Shel and Lindsay's wedding, which is interrupted when Darla reappears.
