The Metal Gear Solid references were amazing. It would've been perfect if they included a "!" sound effect. The other three girls introduced are also hilarious, always facing the screen.

Next episode will probably have the epic COMEDY TRIO bit, I can't wait.

Yeah, those references are just absolutely awesome. I would argue though that the high point of episode 4 had to be this reference:

Spoiler:

The Aku Soku Zan served to sweeten the deal and make the scene all the more hilarious. I was in fits after that. Gatotsu! for win ='D

How ya doing, buddy?

17 was a decent episode though the humor just wasn't as consistent as some of the ones that came before it. Either that or Doujin Work got all of the laughter out of my system.

If I read ANN correctly, this looks to be a 52 episode series. That brings up the question as to how they're going to keep up the comedy over that period of time. I know the robot hasn't shown up as much compared to the manga so they should be able to work that in, but other than that, what can they fill it up with?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
