Literally the best episode of the show thus far. No football distractions and doing something different by focusing on a marginal character and an even more marginal character and putting them in their own mini movie was a stroke of genius. Seth Rogen and Jason Mantzoukas shine. Turning an episode into an off kilter crime thriller was hysterical Rafi setting fire to the car was great Cameos by Bridget the midget and Kevin Nealon round out the cast And let's not forget Will Sasso's turn as a mistaken Sig Heiling LA Cop Brilliant. The show has a tendency to fall junto a predictable rhythm with respect to the antics of the members of the league and that is okay but sometimes you need to change it up a little bit. And this they did

Don't listen to the 1-stars. I've never laughed so hard.

This was one of my favorite things ever. It's not really an episode of "The League" which is why all of the 1-stars, as it features only Seth Rogan and Jason Mantzoukas in a zany side plot, but I don't know if I've ever laughed harder at anything. There are just so many fantastic one-liners, throw-away gags, and brilliant background antics - it's a comic cornucopia. OMG the birthday party alone was a masterpiece.
Don't miss this one!

Warning: Spoilers
I usually don't write reviews of episodes but this one was so exceptional that I had to do this. The other thing is that I wanted to balance out the reviews because former reviewers could only decide if its the worst or the best episodes so far Now it's 2-2. I was pretty confused how this episode started but was even more how it went down. This was no typical The League Episode but for what it was, it was just amazing. The whole setting, the characters and story was top notch. I probably never laughed so hard before while watching a The League episode.
SPOILER I always was a Rafi fan and hope we will still see him in a few episodes because he will die in a year or so.

Best Episode Yet
jackunhollotors20 September 2014
This episode was hilarious and hands down the best episode I've seen on this series. The episode was a refreshing break from the usual group of friends just being mean to each other; instead focusing on satellite characters Rafi and Dirty Randy avenging the murder of their friend in L.A. It perfectly captured the friendship and understanding of the world as viewed by two complete imbeciles who's moral compass exists only in the most warped and hysterical of senses. The episode is like a Dumb and Dumber short of the funniest sequences and doesn't rely on the usual put downs and Andre anal sex references to make it funny. If the producers were smart they'd start a spin off using this episode, for I predict that show would blow "The League" out of the water. This episode has solidified Rafi as my favorite character, and is one of the best comedy roles Seth Rogen has ever played. It may not suit your taste if you watch "The League" for the football references but if your a fan of the series for it's comedy. Watch it, you'll laugh your ass off! Fingers crossed for a spin off!!
Funniest Episode Ever
doubledan0015 September 2014
First off, this Episode is a total anomaly from the typical The League style. I found it extremely funny and creative for them to do a break like that in a comedy series. They do it all the time in serious series like Breaking Bad (The fly episode), Lost (nearly all of them), and Walking Dead (almost all of the 2nd half of season 4).
There are s lot of cameos in this episode which added so more to it.
If you didn't like this episode, something is wrong with you. It was Superbad level funny. I don't get the hate for this episode. You watch this show to laugh but you got mad if made you laugh differently? OK...
It really shows how much the show has grown since its start. It feels like a major show now especially with bigger names getting involved. I really didn't like the show in the beginning much, way too many football related jokes. Season 3 and 4 were great and really got away from that.
In short, I don't want to spoil anything but this is 22 minutes of pure delight. If you aren't laughing in the first three minutes, don't finish watching it.

Horrible
smorsburn12 October 2014
Just had to sit through this terrible episode. This show is usually hilarious, and while there were a few funny jokes, the entire episode in general was horrible. I could not believe there were actually positive reviews on here, I am still trying to figure out if people are just trolling.
If you get 5 minutes in and you are considering fast forwarding, just do it, save yourself.
It doesn't get any better, and has nothing to do with the rest of the show.
Hopefully we won't be subjected to this, Seth Rogen is usually better than this...

Amazingly hilarious
Mario696922 September 2014
Not much of a review writer, but this episode had me roaring with laughter. I'm not that big of a football fan either, but love the jokes. This episode was a nice little side story about two hilarious characters. After Rafi paint-balling a few episodes back, I didn't think he would get any funnier! He and Dirty Randy travelling cross country on the hood of the SUV, falling asleep behind the wheel and jerking off at the grand canyon were all hilarious and had me rolling on the floor. Love the usual satire and comedy of The League, but this was a nice little change of pace. I'm going to love picking out the little scenes from their trip in later episodes.
What happened to The League
nomisnor2629 September 2013
I watched this awful episode. Normally one of my favorite shows. I look forward to watching it every week. What happened to The League? Small doses of Rafi is fine but good lord an entire episode of stupidity. I had to delete it so my wife wouldn't watch it and change her mind about one of my favorite shows. I know from past seasons that the writers can do a lot better. I rated this with one star. The only reason it got one star is because zero stars were not offered as an option. I just hope this episode isn't a sign of things to come. Where is Ruxin? I haven't hardly seen him this entire season. His character is one of the best. I am thinking maybe the writers are running out of material. What other reason would they have to get off the subject of fantasy football. I have these writers on my fantasy team, I just might need to bench them if they continue down this road.
Terrible Episode
jasonekraft21 September 2014
I'm sorry I am a huge fan of The League and even a huge fan of it's minor characters like Dirty Randy and Raffi.
But to have both of them try to roll with a whole episode and not have any other characters come in was just too much.
Hell I even like everything Seth Rogan has ever done besides this episode but this time it just fell way short.
Didn't find myself laughing and instead wondering what this had to do with Fantasy Football.
I feel this episode added absolutely nothing to anything The League stood for and wish I wouldn't have wasted my time watching it.

This is not the league
vitumbaya29 September 2013
How is this an episode of the league when no league activities occur. This is the worst episode and this season seems to be moving away from what made the show popular. It has me questioning whether the show is worth watching anymore if this is the new direction its heading. Dirty Randy is worse than Rafi and I had a hard time understanding why they introduced the character in the first place. worst episode ever .

Worst Episode on the League so far
teamtaylor1027 September 2013
Literally the worst episode on the League thus far. If you are a league watcher, this episode will change your opinion of this show in the worst light. I wish I had never seen this episode.
If you were expecting to watch the League for the main characters - then don't watch this episode. The main characters were displayed for 5% of the episode while the rest displayed Raulghfy and his counter part duo with Seth Rogan.
I was about to put this series as one of my top 10 TV series to watch this season until this particular episode. It's almost as if the writers went on strike and they 'tried' pulling it off. Seth Rogan acted the same as in Superbad, and, in the end, was just predictable.

Absolutely the worst episode ever!
canmag21 December 2013
I totally agree with RJ Simon's review of this episode! In a word, it was AWFUL!!! I too can take Rafi in small doses, but this batch of stupidity was so bad I had to stop my wife from deleting it so I could see if they would eventually get back to the regular cast. If this had been the first episode of the League I had ever seen, I guarantee you that it would have been the last. PLease, bring back Ruxin, and never, ever give the untalented and unfunny Seth Rogen any more screen time on what usually is a very funny show. In particular, don't give him the opportunity to write another episode. Another bomb like this one could well kill the show.
Absolute Waste of Time
