people dont understand the intention of the show
this series isn't only just a comedy, but its more the development of the charactors in the show. From the beginning of the show eric is weak and wont stand up for himself, but in this episode we see eric finally standing up to micky because hes grown stronger throughout the show. Another example is Mickey who finally realizes his act of being a dick is wearing off and people are catching on to his intentions. Its sad to see people will disregard this and just say "GeY THAT WASNY FUNNY" because its not just another video game parody.
