Title: Monkees Race Again

Plot Summary:
A friend of Davy's grandfather calls The Monkees begging them for help. He's a racecar driver, and his car is being sabotaged by two Nazis. He asks The Monkees to help him repair his vehicle, but the Nazis steal the guy's engine. Oh boy so fun.

Review/Rating:
This episode is by far the worst. The plot stinks, the whole German aspect is tired and lame, and The Monkees seem especially bored. They don't even have the interest to do their usual season two script mocking. They just say the lines and don't even bother trying to make them work. The episode depresses me beyond words. Oh yeah, and the romp sucks ASS.

Romps/Music:
What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?: Um, Peter and Davy run around like r-tards and cured Nazism with a peace sign and some love beads. Bob eats a flower and Mike looks uncomfortable. Terrible, awful romp. Come on, guys.


Meet The Villians: Two Nazi-era Germans who really, really want to win car races. As usual, one is the brains (The Baron) and one is a fat, stupid oaf (Wolfgang). Although, to be fair, both these guys are pretty damned stupid.


Here He Comes To Save The Day: Davy drives the Monkeemobile to win the race for Great Britain. Yawn.

Today's Lesson Is:
· Nazis are evil...but hilarious!
· London fog creates atmosphere; L.A. smog will knock you out.
· If someone had given Hitler some love beads, WWII never would have happened.


Outstanding Outfit:

1) Peter's orange shirt/brown pants in first scene after credits
They're all wearing mechanic outfits in this one, so there isn't much by way off cool clothes.


Catchphrases/Running Jokes:
· The way that guy looks through the periscope. Creepy.
· "You're schtanding on my foot!" Kill me.
· The tuning fork.
· "They're gone!"/"It's gone!"
· Mike calls someone "shotgun."
· That weird tiptoe run during the romp. WTF is that?


Pastor Mike: Please. Like Mike gave two shits about setting those Nazis straight. The Nazis didn't deserve to see the error in their ways.

Davy's Scale Of Obnoxiousness:
Of course Davy's the one who has to race the car. Lame. He really didn't have much presence in this episode, so I can't be too hard on him.

How Dumb Is He?: 2/5
I don't think Peter cared enough to play dumb, and I don't think the writers cared enough to write him dumb. He got away with being pretty normal in this one.

Line Of The Episode: Crumpets: "You'll never get away with this!"
Baron: "The first words out of your mouth, and they're nasty. Gag him again!"
Micky (to Crumpets): "Boy, you sure got a lousy part."

For The Win: 1/5
Davy drives the Monkeemobile to win the race for Great Britain. Yawn. Worst romp ever follows.

Quotes:

Peter: "I bet that was the work of saboteurs."
Micky: "No, my mechanic does that all the time."

Mike: "The thing to do is to not let on like anything's wrong."

Baron: "So Crumpets, I see you're having some trouble with your car."
Crumpets: "I see you're having some trouble with your accent."

Crumpets: "Caruthers, the tea."
Davy: "What's that?"
Micky: "It's a drink."

Davy: "Smells like Liverpool to me." (haha oh Davy.)

Baron: "I think you'll be more willing to cooperate if you hear my plan."
Micky: "OK."

Baron: "Gag him."
Crumpets: "There's enough gags in this show already."

Peter: "Well, your pitch is lousy but you've got a great voice. If we don't find Micky do you want to join our group?"

Peter: "But the gun on television? Bad enough there being a tuning fork!"

Micky: "Anything I take apart I can put back together. Now, do you have a needle and thread?...How about some glue?...Have a, uh, some clay?...A Band-aid...Spit on my finger?"

Peter: "Mike, something's missing."
Mike: "Yeah, it's the car."

Micky (to Crumpets): "You flew all the way to Hollywood for this part?"

Wolfgang: "Ten, nine--"

Micky: "No, after ten comes eleven."

Wolfgang: "No, nine, nine!"

Micky: "No, not nine nine, that's ninety-nine."

Micky: "Ah, saved by The Monkees."


Miscellaneous
· Peter's really awful fake car-fixing in the cold open.
· Mike's face when "The World's Oldest Flower Child" is eating the flower during the romp. haha Priceless.

"Oh, merciful heavens."
