C'mon, time to vent. What's the silliest episode of the series? And why? ;D If you mean, annoyingly odd and bad episodes, The one that annoys me most is the ending to Statue of Liberty. I am a American, and I can't understand this way too symbolic ending. I'm not trying to dis the series, but that episode comes off all wrong.  |

I'd have to nominate "The Girl Who Cried Vampire."
It's a good episode, but it's written around the Moral of the Week when it should be the other way around. It's also built around a plot hole that causes the whole story to fall apart when you actually think about it:
Why do the radio-controlled scarecrow-balloons trip the Ghost Alarms? They look like ghosts, yes, but other than that there's nothing inherently ghostly about them.
One would think that the Ghostbusters might have some better scanning equipment at their disposal, unless this puts them too much into Aykroyd/Ramis terror-tory.

Maybe the GB scanning systems just "interpretated" their radio waves as a trace of energy. Since Ghosts got characteristic energetical patterns... that did confuse the machines?  |

Let's just say that the alarms are as confused as their inventors.

when I was little it had to be outlaw inlaws, because everytime Prime Evil's sister or nephew said ichy he scratching himself.
But come to think of it now, how could he do that if he was mostly metal?
A robot scratching himself? + logic = silly
;D

Lol, I thought the silliest episode was Mummy Dearest. Don't get me wrong, it was a great episode, but I found it funny how their clothes shrunk after going through the car wash. They were smart to have extra uniforms in the trunk of GB. But Jessica was the smart one among them, because she used an umbrella for the second trip through the car wash. Jake and Eddie should've followed her lead and spared themselves the humiliation of being stripped to their underwear and boots. Lol, they weren't even stark naked and they covered their crotch areas. u d But the biggest silly moment was when Tracy snapped photos of them in their undies, and giggled while doing so (d**n dirty ape lol) Funny but wrong, heh  |

If their boxers are like many, especially those printed ones from the 80's, there's an open fly there--no buttons or anything securing that center slit area. So, in 'clean' terms, there'd be quite the draft there and risk of exposure. So, the boys may have instinctively covered that area or risk 'parts' being seen or exposed. Good manners actually, considering there's a lady in their presence. |

Apologies for my ignorance, as I don't wear boxers and was none the wiser.
You're right, Jake and Eddie do have good manners, which makes them heroes among most jerks nowadays.
Kitten, I look forward to more of your posts in the future!

If you mean, annoyingly odd and bad episodes, The one that annoys me most is the ending to Statue of Liberty. I am a American, and I can't understand this way too symbolic ending. I'm not trying to dis the series, but that episode comes off all wrong. That episode bothered me as well with the ending. I too, am in the USA and that may work well with international audiences, it was just strange for us 'native-staters', It came off as awkward when that scene could've been done differently rather than waste that vital episode space on reciting the entire Pledge of Allegience. But, I forgive it since that ending also had a cute, quick little scene with Jessica & Jake and then another with Jake and his grandfather. This series has so little in character depth, I'll take any little subtle bit of it I can get--better for those of us who write fanfics and want to at least stay semi-canon.
The episode that I thought was silly or strange was "Country Cousin." That squid ghost was just weird. Also, how the boys (well, mostly Jake) reacted to going to a 'wealthy' party. Good lesson though about city and country folk, but still, that squid ghost was just too strange for me. The one I laughed the most with was "The Ransom of Eddie Spencer"--lots of moments in there though I still can't figure out what happened to Jessica's helicopter after she abandoned it mid-flight with no other pilot in there. Auto-pilot maybe?
