Skippy:
“A Toast To Poverty” (#31) is the point where J&B had not only hit their stride, but wound up totally transcending the original concept.
From a simple statistic - the fact that Bloomington is the 11th poorest city in the USA - J&B go on a sociological exploration of what lies behind it, via a surrealistically circuitous route that includes an Easter celebration and a doggie-doo production facility at work. The episode presents its point both factually and satirically, and pulls both aspects off perfectly (an extremely difficult task)!
Quintessential ROX, and arguably the best episode of the entire series!
