WARNING!: This thread contains spoilers from tonight's episode of NBC's hit Docu-comedy "Dodge the Bullet"
In last week's episode, Gramps McCain (Vic Tayback) tried to sneak out of the big debate with "Sparky" Obama (Kadeem Hardison)--first by sneaking out the kitchen's back window, next by faking his own kidnapping by aliens (hilarity ensued when local police chief Mike Mukasey (played by guest star John Mahoney) erroneously believed Gramps had been murdered by his own secretary, "Scissorkick" Palin! (Off-screen character) ), and finally by announcing that a huge financial crisis was forcing him to suspend his campaign until "every last problem in the country has been solved."
Of course the antics had only begun when Gramps got to Congress, only to find them on the verge of actually fixing the problem. Desperately dodging about the room, Gramps tried desperately to derail the negotiations, finally fooling his luvable sidekick, Biggy Boner, into demanding that the Congress save Wall Street from the overleverage mess by further deregulating Wall Street.
Folks, NBC didn't even need a laugh track for that one!
Now we come to tonight's episode, where we get the resolution to last weeks cliff-hanger. Gramps finally shows up at the debate, moderated by local TV weatherman Jim Lehrer (played by special guest star David Letterman) and has to fake his way through the debate.
First Gramps tries to throw Sparky off his game by spilling his coffee on Sparky's debate notes. "Oh no!" Gramps realizes, all too late. "We're not allowed to have notes for this debate!" Thinking quickly, Gramps points toward the Klansmen huddled in the back of the room and screams, "Everyone duck! It's the VC!"
While everyone on stage dives for the floor, Gramps quickly pulls his own debate notes out of his coat pocket and eats them. Then he shrugs and breaks the fourth wall to say, "Ha, fooled them. Now I can just read my answers from the inside."
Then when he returns back to center stage, has to panic again because Sparky has gone up to the Klansmen and is apologizing them for assuming they were there to cause trouble instead of just listening to the debates. The Klan's Grand Dragon is so moved by their little chat, that he removes his hood (special cameo appearance by Don Rickles) and admits he only joined the hate-group because his own father never hugged him. Sparky and the Grand Dragon hug (cue the *applause* sign) and a tearful Grand Dragon promises to start volunteering at the local animal shelter.
