ok i literally have wondered since i first heard this episode why griffin would be sure to mention the bowtie when he clearly was caught off guard by the thb fixating on it and i only just realized that it was cause he needed some identifying piece of clothing to make them think the body was jenkins anyway i love this animation and this show. this is probably my favorite taz animation cause of how well the visuals work with their humor. im also a little drunk but anyway youre great and so is taz.
