Bud and Kelly pretend to be ill so that they don't have to go with their parents to a family reunion in Wanker County. Kelly brings a date home, who drops his cigar on the couch, setting it on fire. With the help of Jefferson, the kids are able to track down the only other couch in that style, still in the possession of the maker, who just happens to be totally insane.
Mary the mad couch designer (Larry Hankin) should have been hilarious, but although he delivers the best line -- "This is from my Furniture for White Trash line, the Drunken Hillbilly collection." -- his crazy routine isn't as funny as it could have been. The wackier the better, in my opinion, but although there was plenty of scope to push the silliness much further, this one fails to do so.
I had hoped that whatever Kelly had to do to get Mary to part with his couch would be funny enough to compensate, but that also failed to tickle me.
A mediocre episode.
