User blog:AustinDR/Review: Frog Wild

Well, well, well, another Lana and Lincoln episode. By all means, I was anticipating this one. Given how one of my favorite episodes from the show is "Toads and Tiaras," I was actually wanting to see another episode regarding the two. In this episode, Lincoln and Clyde's room was to dissect frogs that day, and Lana convinces Lincoln that frogs are great, so the two embark on a journey to save the frogs.

Now, I found myself laughing more in this episode than with the previous one. Once again, the absurdity is what adds onto the humor. The two create an elaborate plan to break into the classroom, and they even leave the window open to trick the teacher into thinking that thief already escaped. And then there's Principal Huggins' vow to go to each of the students' houses to investigate. Lana and Lincoln do several things to distract Huggins, only to make him irritated the longer they do it, and the episode ends with them stealing boxes full of live ducks. Which doesn't really make sense to me, because I'd assume that the ducks would already be dead. The same with the frogs. When I was in high school, the frogs were good and dead, so we didn't have to vivisect them when they were alive.

I also liked how Lincoln bonded with Lana in this episode. They put their heads together to try to save the frogs, and Lincoln also got along pretty well with Hops. While I love this episode, I found Lana a little too disgusting in this episode. Normally I wouldn't mind Lana being gross, mostly because they don't dwell on it long, but in this episode, you have her eating gum out of a garbage can, eating out of garbage cans in general, eating crickets, etc. Lana hardly ever sickens me, but I felt it was overdone in this episode.

Other than that, it's another great Lana and Lincoln episode that I might watch a few more times.

Final score: 5 out 5 stars
