Al ruins the olympics.
BA_Harrison13 January 2023
Oh goody... another sports-based episode featuring pro-athletes I've never heard of (Bo Jackson, Roy Jones Jr. And Larry Brown). This time around, Al uses his specialist knowledge of sport to help Griff win a pair of tickets to the Atlanta Olympics. Al is looking forward to being able to carry the Olympic torch, but Griff double-crosses his pal and opts to take a babe instead. Griff's win catapults him into the limelight, and as much as Al tries to be happy for his friend, he can only take so much: he chases Griff while he is carrying the torch and tackles him, the Olympic flame getting extinguished in the mall fountain!

This one features some witty lines of dialogue (Marcy enters the shop, prompting Al to comment "Speaking of underdeveloped..."; "She's been eating white-out again, hasn't she?", Al asks about Kelly), but the whole thing is geared towards sports fans (American football and boxing), which I am most definitely not. Of course, there are the obligatory big-breasted women as eye candy, which should appeal to sports fans and non-sports fans alike, but that doesn't make this a great or even good episode.

N. B. There is a repeated gag where Marcy is mistaken for Bruce Jenner - very prophetic.
