Best character
Poor Jonah really goes through it with the whole mannequin thing and then also the weird Amy doll. I do feel sorry for him, but being awkward is part of his character.
Best supporting character
Can I choose the mannequin for this? I’m saying yes because this is my post.

Glenn high-fiving a customer who put her hand up to ask him a question is so funny. It’s such a fleeting moment but is so typical Glenn.
Any scene with the Jonah mannequin is great, unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t have the montage of it in different situations. I especially like bride Jonah.
I don’t know if anything will ever be funnier than Glenn thinking the mannequin in the box crusher is a real person. The scream of horror is everything.
Best quotes and one liners
JONAH: Not getting used to standing all day.
GARRETT: That’s not a problem I have to deal with.
JONAH: Yeah, well, lucky you, my friend. Not luck… lucky… not lucky you. That’s… I don’t think you’re lucky.
GARRETT: So you think I’m unlucky?
JONAH: Not… well… you know what I mean. That’s an… it’s an expression.
GARRET: Why don’t you just eject right now?
MATEO: You know, it’s so weird that your feet hurt, because every time I see you, I feel like you’re sitting.
CHEYENNE: Try doing this job six months pregnant.
AMY: Yeah, seriously. That’s brutal.
JONAH: I didn’t know you were pregnant too.
AMY: I was when I was 19. Then I gave birth to my daughter. So I’m not pregnant now, but thank you for thinking so.
JONAH: I didn’t mean you look pregnant. I just meant…
GARRETT: Eject. Eject!
JONAH: I didn’t know that you had a child. I… listen… that’s… I think that’s beautiful. Really, I’m in awe of single mothers, so…
AMY: I’m married.
GARRETT: Ooh! You should’ve just ejected, man.
CHEYENNE: Why are you in awe of single mothers?
JONAH: I just think it’s… it’s very brave to have a child, especially at your age.
CHEYENNE: Well, I didn’t set out to have a baby. Came from sеx.
This goes on a lot longer and has a lot more funny lines, but I’ll split it up into two sections.
GLENN: Jonah, I’d prefer if you didn’t offer to shuttle our employees to the abortion clinic. JONAH: No, I meant rides in general.
DINA: What if it was just for a pap smear? Could I get a ride for that? They recommend one a year, but I like to go extra. Make sure everything’s up to code.
GLENN: Okay. I’m just gonna say it. I’m fine with you driving your coworkers anywhere except the abortion clinic.
DINA: Damn it, Glenn, you cannot talk about your personal feelings on abortion in the workplace.
GLENN: I didn’t bring up abortion.
DINA: Oh, keep tempting me.
GARRETT: [talking about the mannequin that looks like Jonah] And there’s something about that expression. It just kind of makes you want to…
AMY: Punch him in the face.
GLENN: We’ve always wanted a baby of our own. I mean, foster children are a blessing, but it’s as if you’ve been driving used cars your whole life. Just once it would be nice to experience a brand-new one, straight from the factory, that hasn’t been all dinged up, you know?
DINA: A baby’s been part of my life plan since I was ten. I’ve got a crap load of love to give. Anyway, here are the facts: I have a comfortable lap, I can get a burp out of anybody, and I already lactate as a side effect from some fungal medication I’m taking.
JONAH: I think that is all of our princess party supplies. I hope your cat has a wonderful birthday.
CHEYENNE: To get a sense of what our child’s life would be like with you, what’s your neighbourhood like?
GLENN: Picket fences. Good schools.
DINA: Are you familiar with a gang called “Los Guapos”? It’s their turf, but, uh, we have an understanding. So I assume that would extend to my baby as well.
Final thoughts and fun facts
I don’t have any final thoughts about this episode really other than how flirty Amy and Jonah are. Also, her name tag for this episode is “Sheila”.
At the end of every episode, the card for the production company Spitzer Holding Company features a variety of items they specialise in. In this episode, they list Aviation, Rugs, and Open Source Security.
