No Ordinary Family - Episode 11: "No Ordinary Friends"

But we just did an episode in which we learned about the power of friendship! And you can’t convince me this will be about the kids’ friends, because the only friend they seem to have is the black guy with the pregnant girlfriend. (Seriously, when are they going to get back to that? Did he dump her? Force her to get an abortion? Going to follow through? I care deeply about this tertiary character!)

LAST TIME: The adults have pissy fights for no reason, Tiberius has a crush on a girl, and Pills manages to cause something to happen by figuring out Minion’s game, then getting mind wiped. MINDWIPED! It’s a big deal.

0:52 Not to be a jerk, Tiberius, but how will showing off your superpowers help exactly?

1:37 I’m kinda curious why they waited until the next day to try and sort this thing out.

2:14 Well that was solved easily!

2:34 Just using bing to search for things, like I always naturally do.

3:18 LIE! WHY DIDN’T YOU LIE? It’s going to come back to haunt you.

3:53 Katie doesn’t think she’s an adult, because she apparently has never had sex, maybe?

4:21 OH SHIT that’s actually the plot point! I was joking!

5:06 Come on, Chiklis. Didn’t I tell you? Now you have a crowd of weirdos wandering if your home….hugging each other. Like all the time. Why are they standing so close?

6:07 We can’t have dinner with these people! They might like us!

7:26 What the heck was that? Is that a thing? A little packet of fireworks that you can just throw at people?

8:08 The bad guy version of Bond who steals paintings would be Thomas Crowne. You guys remember that movie, right?

8:53 What kind of schedule do they have? Why is it always just randomly daylight or nighttime?

9:21 Guys, you are not allowed to just make shit up about Star Wars. Star Wars is serious business. Also, what kind of nerd orders Star Wars drinks at a regular human bar? The worst kind.

11:08 Because paying more than $20 for a watch is a complete waste of money, and I don’t want to know how bad of a decision she made.

11:59 Wait, I thought she had the mind reading power. How can Chiklis force her to read his mind?

12:31 Ah yes, the conversation that people apparently have every time they go to a high school, despite the fact that it is bleeding obvious. Of course cliques exist, stupid.

13:17 What? Is it apparently election season? I thought they only did that at the beginning of the school year?

13:49 Listen, I’m not introducing girls to someone with a zipper pocket on his shirt.

14:21 It’s almost like the writers wrote themselves in the corner, and just decided to reverse the decision for no reason.

15:01 Hey, as long as Darla can resist the urge to move at superspeed because she’s lazy, it shouldn’t be that bad.

16:05 So how far is Minion going to run with this? Does he really like Marcia, or is this just part of his master plan still?

17:19 Oh, MC Skat Kat is apparently divorced. Good to know…

17:59 No, because that would be a ridiculous conclusion to jump to, that’s why.

19:03 Hoho! Well played, you little asshole.

19:44 What are you doing? Girls don’t like fighters. (Says I, who totally knows what women like.)

20:12 Of course she got outrageously drunk. It is almost comical how irresponsible Darla is.

22:04 It’s cool, MC Skat Kat. I don’t think he wants half of the sandwich that you’ve already slobbered all over.

22:43 Why is it taking you this long to catch up to him?! You were literally five seconds behind him before.

23:50 Why did he tear through both sets of metal doors? He only needed to leave through one.

24:27 I never thought our friends were criminals until I saw one at a crime scene. Why I was there is another question.

25:13
Wait what? That’s your logic? There’s been an art heist in a couple of major cities you say?

25:50 I can’t read this because I feel like throwing up!

26:41 Did they break up already? Oh that’s too bad.

27:38 Well okay, if you want to quit…just remember that I kinda had YOU go and kill everyone who tried to do the same thing.

29:05 Guy try the front door before you start snooping through his back yard!

30:09 Hang on, all that happened in one day? He went to a jam session, went to work, then went back to the house to apologize? This guy’s day is full.

30:40 Also, she totally let me just leave after she confessed to being a criminal! Seriously, what was she thinking?

31:36 So naturally, I went into cat burglary. (Huh?)

32:47
I have this strange feeling she’s not going to turn herself in.

33:16 Hurray! Violence solves everything!

33:50 This character would later go on to be Parker Lewis.

35:21 Vote for someone who will make a lot of empty promises that they won’t be able to fulfill, because school board and budget cuts!

35:57 Except for that one time, two episodes ago, when she totally did put her life in danger, but otherwise.

36:28 One time someone threw them a birthday party and three people ended up dead!

36:50 Why didn’t you stop the bullet?! Or move her out of the way?! You have superspeed!

37:40
And if it wasn’t for her being a complete idiot and following you, she wouldn’t have been there in the first place, but whatever.

38:39 I tried to rationalize why my family suddenly had hundreds of thousands of dollars more than they should have.

39:52 You could have not assumed they were cat burglars based entirely on the fact that they happened to live in both Boston and Seattle at one point.
40:25 You leave your door unlocked? That seems dangerous.

41:25 What the hell did she think it meant? Also, did the pizza guy come while they were doing it?

41:59 WHY WOULD HE STILL BE CARRYING THAT? Does he not have a home?

Verdict: Man, that whole ‘Pills loses her memories’ thing sort of resolved itself awful quickly. Almost like they had no intention of following through with it. The cat burglar family sure did seem like magic though, right? How all of them inspired each family member in turn? Too bad the mom got shot for no reason because Darla is ridiculously awful at using her superpowers. Also, the ‘Marcia loses her virginity’ subplot bothered me for reasons I don’t want to talk about.
