The League - Season 2 Episode 7 - “Ghost Monkey” Originally aired October 28th, 2010 Silly. Just down right silly. In previous reviews, we’ve (I’ve) discussed at length the balance The League strikes between the outrageous and the realistic. Here in an episode aptly titled “Ghost Monkey” all that is thrown out the window (literally) in lieu of one of this show’s most enjoyable and crazy episodes to date.  Again we have several plot lines that all converge. Kevin and Jenny attempt an adult Halloween by bringing alcohol and slutty costumes out Trick or Treating with their daughter. Pete mindfucks Ruxin when he gives him control of his line up for the week. And Taco steals a monkey from the petting zoo, only for it go crazy in response to Andre’s Pandora playlist and get itself thrown out the window. In the end Ruxin is the crazy paranoid one, Jenny has to wear a fat frog costume, and the monkey rapes the frog head. And that’s not even going into Pete’s wicka date, Andre’s “poor girl” or the valiant return of Mr. McGibblets. The Pete and Ruxin plot line probably had the most legs. Kroll proved himself the MVP of this episode and displayed comedic genius in his deterioration. Andre’s “poor girl” move again drew similarities to How I Met Your Mother - as did a lot of this episode. Key laughs came from Kevin’s desire for the brownie costume, the whole car scene (especially Andre’s music), and “Sexy museum curator.” Could have done without Taco’s song - which are beginning to become tedious. It ran just a bit too long.  In general it was nice to see them fully commit to a Halloween episode and go full on fritata.  -Alex (popculturebrain)
