If, like me, you're a fan of Al's insensitive remarks about 'big-boned' women, then you'll love this episode: the shoe salesman delivers some great new quips "I had a manatee...", "I think gravity has its hands full right now.", "The proper term is little people" - "That's the proper term for anyone standing next to you."), plus we get a series of flashbacks to some of his funniest insults.
Al's ruderies have gotten him into trouble with a herd of heavyweights, who tie him up and put him on trial. Al hopes that Peggy will act in his defense, but she only makes matters worse. The women find Al guilty, his punishment being to watch a morbidly obese woman perform a strip-tease. However, Al makes a confession that causes the women to drop all charges: as a teen, he was overweight himself, and his insults are his way of denying his own pain. Of course, it's all lies!
While all of this is going on, Kelly and Bud are trying to tint the windows of Al's Dodge as a birthday surprise, but Kelly tints Bud's face instead. All in all, this is a surprisingly good episode in a season that has more than its fair share of duds.
