Brickleberry is a show that is just basically the equivalent to a comedian going on a stage and saying a bunch offensive things to tick people off for the sake of "comedy", and no episode is proof of that than this one.
The plot involves a bunch of homophobes coming to the park for protesting, or something. Anyway Connie (being the show's punching bag character because she's an ugly woman and a lesbian) finds a "gay bomb" and sets it off in the park, so she can make everyone else gay, but an effect of it is that it makes her now straight.
My first problem with this episode is mainly relies on one whole joke, that being outdated gay stereotypes that feel like they came from the 2000s, rather than 2011 when this episode was written, take for example the sub-plot when everyone turns gay that involves Denzel and Steve arguing who's Woody's boyfriend, it's just there to go "LOL, ISN'T THAT EDGY? LAUGH!".
My second problem (and whole show in general) is that none of these characters are entertaining, they're just horrible people for the sake of comedy, but because of the writing in this show, it falls flat on it's face. Like for example, everyone at the beginning are just really mean towards Connie, which I'd get could actually if we are suppose to sympathise with her, but no, they also make her a horrible person to by purposely setting off the "gay bomb" so she can be with Ethel, who she actually stalks a lot during the cold-open (as well as doing other stalker type of things towards Ethel in other episodes of this show).
Overall, this episode is not worth a watch, LGBTQ+ viewers (like myself) will hate it for being try-hard offensive, adult comedy fans will find it unfunny, and everyone else will find it just plain tiring.
