The glee club gets some news that’s sure to rattle a few nerves. Meanwhile, Quinn connects with her “funky” side with a little help from Mercedes, and Will gets revenge on Sue.

Ooh look, Terri has reappeared!

And I do love Funkytown... Although not too keen on the way Will was singing it in that clip, hopefully the others join in and stop him from being creepy

evil_seed

all the songs they sang in an episode titled "Funk" and they only do 2 funk songs :rolleyes:

I have to admit I quite liked 'Loser' by Puck and Finn.

LutherBlissett

I'm not addicted to Glee, but I don't dislike it.

But I have to say. This isn't very good! Some of the acting is paper thin - it staggers between being overdramatic and just downright poor (when songs are being performed, such as Loser).

Closed ac

This is kinda boring, is Regionals the next episode?

Dinkie

One word.... herpes.

And I enjoyed the final song. The rest was blah. I think I'm nearly over glee at this stage.

Nightwish

I quite liked this episode. Howard and Terri made a welcome returned and Quinn's song was fantastic, though the backing dancers freaked me out a bit. Sue was on fire too!

Yeh, me too. I really enjoyed it. I felt so sorry for Rachel with how Jesse treated her.

Loving the scenes between Will and Sue in this episode!

Terri! Sandy Ryerson! Howard Bamboo! Rachel getting egged! Sue excelling herself with one liners!

And yet I didn't think it was one of the better ones. The only continuity issue from the episode switcheroo was the size of Quinn's bump - no way she would have fitted into that Gaga dress based on her size 'the previous week'. And those backing dancers were frightening during her number.

Basq

I said to my other half that surely Quinn shouldn't be dancing like that being 8 months pregnant.

Pigwidgeon

I thought it was good overall, +1 to Quinn's dancers being freaky.

I find it amusing that in the Lady Gaga episode, Quinn barely looked pregnant, but in this one she looks nearly full term.

Next week's episode is the last of the season anyway, so hopefully it'll be a good one, and they'll have more time to make season 2 better than the second half of this season.

The pregnant dancers were really disturbing.

'Loser' was the best song in the whole episode, why on earth was it so short?

For a Funk episode, it was seriously lacking in Beck. There should have been 2 songs at least

The final song sucked, if anything it should have made Vocal Adrenaline (Who are not that good since Jesse took the lead) more confident of their victory.

A few good lines from Sue, but overall still not a great episode.

Now you're talking.. I think the reason I liked 'Loser' was that it wasn't too far removed from the original!

As an episode.. it wasn't great which is pretty much on par for 'Glee' since it came back.

The writing staff need a serious kick up the arse for their second season!

JP Liz V1

I'm glad we got to hear more of Puck singing

Was Terri also suppose to be singing Loser with them?

Rozabeez

Have to say Vocal Adrenaline's song was my favourite of the episode. Why is everyone so freaked out by Quinn's dancers though? Wasn't exactly horrific or anything.

Why has Jesse gone from loving Rachel two episodes ago to hating her now? Why would he egg her and tell her that he did love her? That made no sense. It also didn't make sense that Vocal Adrenalin would egg their coach's daughter.

JP Liz V1

Jesse was pretty cruel to Rachel alright

BTW does Finn not want Rachel anymore I thought he'd be over her like a rash now since Jesse is out of the picture

Does anyone else think Puck is into Rachel big time - I loved when he called Finn, Matt and the other black guy to go beat up VA and Kurt was tagging along probably to pull hair and Artie was going in his wheels

Glee, when it is good, is like the Ray Foley Show, nothing too serious, just a bit of fun for your lunchtime. And this ep wasn't bad, light, silly, didn't take itself too seriously, except Mercedes and Quinn and the ludicrous idea that being a beautiful pregnant blonde white girl is just as difficult as growing up black, prejudice-wise. Give me a break. Glee is popcorn and candy-floss, and when it sticks to that it one of the funniest things on tv. When it starts trying to get all meaningful and to make a point, it sucks ass.

Brittney was quiet, but did like when she had her cheerleading uniform on backwards. She's the funniest thing about the show, even when she has no lines.

Chinafoot

I enjoyed the episode. Glad to see Terri and Howard back and I'm curious to see if they expand on the Terri/Finn thing, which could be funny Loser was fantastic. The album version is great.

Wasn't mad about Quinn's song (and yes the backing dancers were freaky) but I don't really like her voice anyway. Mr. Schu doing the ass dancing was just so, so wrong but if it meant we got to see more of Sue this week then its all good.

I'm also confused about Jesse's treatment of Rachel. The egging thing was very cruel.

Best lines were:

Howard Bamboo: That guy who gave me Bell's Palsy is back.

Sue: You know, for me, trophies are like herpes. You can try to get rid of them but they just keep coming. Sue Sylvester has hourly flair ups of burning, itchy, highly contagious talent.

Sue: Hot Cheetos have been proven to raise endorphins and make happy kids, and I can't have that

Puck: You're not going to fondle us, are you Mr. Ryerson?

KnifeWRENCH

Surprised at some of the negative reaction here; I thought this was a really good episode. The songs were all really good, for a change (I particularly loved "Loser" and "This is a Man's World". I love "Tell Me Something Good" too but Schuester singing it was a little creepy.) There was plenty of Sue. And I loved seeing Terri return.

unreggd

I thougth Vocal Adrenalin's performance was CRAP

Esp compared to Rehab earlier in the season, that was amazin!

Man's World was alright, but Quinn's lip-synchin was RIDICULOUS, and the dancers were just weird! And they were all skinny girls with huge bumps, bad idea there!

I'm sick of all these themed episodes, its not the X Factor!

Didnt know what to expect to happen to Rachel, as "Poor Rachel" was a trending topic on Twitter, but that was so cruel!


The song choices have been terrible lately, and its nowhere near as funny as before

It's crashin like Heroes
