Season 3 • Episode 13
LatestDan and Chris recount their first adventure together as friends, meeting in summer camp and joining forces to take on a bullying camp counselor bent on making their young lives miserable.
Dan, a short (and short-tempered) man, has nothing better to do with his time than rail against what he perceives to be life's injustices – even if he's completely in the wrong. Whether it's a beef against a fast-food chain, an untalented barber, the entirety of Canada, the game of baseball or lemonade-selling children, petulant Dan is always spurred into action, usually dragging his best friend Chris and Chris' undercover operative wife, Elise, along on the revenge-filled ride.
Writing
Absurdist escalation that never breaks character logic.
Acting
Curtis Armstrong's voice work: whiny perfection.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Curtis Armstrong (Dan) was already famous as Booger from Revenge of the Nerds—casting him as a rage-nerd completed a weird circle.
The show predicted 2010s 'Karen' culture by a decade: Dan is essentially a male Karen with commitment issues.
