“It’s My Party?” Oh, the twisted humor. Nothing is sacred with this show, so now birthday parties can be added to the list. Was I supposed to laugh or be creeped out by Sam in a party hat? I was just disturbed, as I’m sure he was. I think the bomb shelter only existed as a setup for Dean to flip off the camera. Dean barges into the bomb shelter just in time to save Sam, but it’s too late for our poor Corbett, who’s now a death echo. That sets up a surprising emotional scene for this episode, and it’s Ed who delivers. I enjoyed the brief glimpse of the human side from both these men instead of the incompetent part and felt every bit of their touching scene (not in a gay way, thank you). Ed gets through, and Corbett ends up saving Sam, Dean, and Spruce from our twisted spirit, but not before we get more cussing from Sam.

This part delivered another classic Ben Edlund premise, giving an unsung supporting character their big chance to play hero. He did it with Andy in “Simon Said”, Ronald in “Nightshifter” and Elizabeth in “Malleus Maleficarum”. Now we can add a soft-spoken yet dorky gay guy by the name of Corbett to his growing list.

Back to commercials, and I’ve never seen Gossip Girl, but I read where it’s the most watched show by teenage girls 12-17 years old and the Parents Television Council has an issue with the show’s sexual themes. I saw the campy preview and forget sex, I don’t want my teenage girl exposed to a bad TV show.

Anyway, there’s still time left, so now that Corbett has so valiantly obliterated the ghost, I wondered what could possibly be next, and I wasn’t disappointed. “We learned that gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day.” I’m going to start using that quote at the bottom of my email messages and see how many people get the joke. “Go well into that starry night, young turk.” So bad, it’s funny. We even get the big confessional moment, another big reality show trick. They didn’t leave any detail unturned.

It was clever how they found the right moment to show the credits at the end, when we were no longer watching the reality show. Even at the end, we get another great line, this time from Sam in the form of a sarcastic critique. “It’s bizarre how you all are able to honor Corbett’s memory while grossly exploiting the manner of his death. Well done.” They usually end up with a straight jacket or a punch in the face? Or both? Oh, I think the Winchesters have suffered far worse than that in their pursuit of the truth. I did wonder how Sam and Dean were going to explain being on a TV show when they were supposedly dead. I would have never thought to use an electromagnet and I’m an IT technician. I’ll always love any closing shot of the Impala peeling away, but to the cheesy “Ghostfacers” theme? Oh show, go ahead, keep me laughing all the way to the very end.
