Supernatural: Lots of Laughs

This "Changing Channels" episode wasn't the best one in terms of advancing the main storyline, but it definitely was one of the most entertaining. Basically, a creature called the Trickster (because he plays tricks on his victims before killing them) decided to put our two favorite boys into various TV shows. The point of the game was that Sam and Dean had to play the roles they were given in order to survive. The whole thing poked fun at various TV shows and I was cracking up the entire time. Even the opening credits sequence was hilarious.

In once scene Sam and Dean found themselves trapped in a show called Dr. Sexy M.D., and it took place at Seattle Mercy Hospital. Sound familiar? I think it made me laugh harder because I'd just watched Grey's Anatomy an hour earlier.

Obviously there were a lot of references to characters on the show, including Denny--who was also John Winchester, the boys' father, "seriously" used multiple times, and overly dramatic dialogue. I loved Sam's reaction to the whole thing and his surprise at finding out how much Dean knew about the show. I absolutely loved how Dean had to explain the Denny storyline to Sam and that he actually knew it because he followed the show. His man crush on Dr. Sexy was hilarious. I thought I was going to fall off the couch when he got all nervous watching Dr. Sexy walk toward him. Oh...so funny, but it doesn't end there.

This scene was followed by an appearance on a Japanese gameshow called Nutcracker where Sam got hit in the nuts with a giant game pull thing, a cheesy sitcom with a live studio audience and a genital herpes commercial.

The best scene was the CSI-type show. The brothers looked completely ridiculous wearing sunglasses at night, impersonating Horatio Caine from CSI Miami and delivering cheesy one-liners--OMG--just the thought of that scene had me giggling while I was getting ready for work this morning. Here's a clip of it:

If there's one thing this show knows how to do it's poke fun at other shows, movies and pop culture in general. I think that's why I find it so entertaining. Next week they poke fun at themselves and their fans when they go to a Supernatural Convention. Can't wait!
