This episode seems a bit of a rush, the characters and jokes were kind of "off". I think they sacrificed parts in order to get Saddam in there on time.
I was delighted to see a Newfie portrayed on the show and was waiting for the thick-accent of Newfs to provide much hilarity. However my delight was shortlived, as it appears t&m did not do their research here. The "Newfie" portrayed was actually the most easy to understand Newfie I've ever seen, far removed from the "ayes is gonna gits me some fisheses thin sodomize me b'yses". "What? What did you say?" The fish was pretty funny though.
If there is a directors cut of this epp, I want a incomprehensible, thick, salty hilarious real newf accent!
