The Sarah Silverman Program has never been known for its strikingly coherent narrative. And it still isn’t. And it’s probably never going to be. But this week’s episode did feel slightly more like a full, thought out (in a loose sense of the term) story than a plot derived from two or three jokes. I do have to stress the word ‘slightly’, too. Full-blown plot or half-baked story, I care not as long as it’s still funny. And by God it was this week.

And yes, I know you’re not supposed to start a sentence with “and”.

Sarah finds herself underwater in a dream, her body modified to match that of a Mermaid. After singing a song with some fish and deciding it’s cold underwater, she hustles over to a geothermal vent, spewing heated water, and sits on it to warm up, only to find herself in bed. Only problem is the bed is wet too. It seems that she’s gone back to her old childhood habit of wetting the bed.

Meanwhile, Laura and Jay are out driving and discussing their vacation plans. They get a call from Sarah telling them that she’s had an accident, so they haul ass over to her house expecting something terrible to have happened. When they get there, Sarah is sitting coolly on the couch, directing them to the bedroom, in which Jay finds a wet bed. Not the kind of accident that they’d been expecting, apparently.

Brian and Steve are, you guessed, fighting about something again in this week’s episode. The fact that they’re gay but they’re also strangely not gay detracts from the viewers’ ability to distinguish them as a couple, effectively making them seem way more married and annoying than they should be. Their arguments are always about stupid stuff though, so it’s hard to take them too seriously. This time the argument is about Brian’s beard, which has grown enormous, probably over a foot and a half long. Which is seriously commendable. Anyway, they’re going to the mall to get their “ironic christmas pictures” taken, but Steve thinks that Brian’s beard pushes the jokes a little bit over the edge. Brian obviously disagrees. They go to the mall to get the pictures, and Brian trips on the escalator, effectively catching his beard in the mechanism that keeps it moving. Steve slams the stop button, and who other than ADAM CAROLLA to come offer advice and support. He shows up sporting a wonderful mustache-less beard, informing Steve that a beard is a precious thing, each beard is unique, like a snowflake made of human hair. When the rescue op comes to a stand-still, the rest of the bearded workers come to remedy the situation.

Sarah ends up meeting a little girl with a bed wetting problem in the grocery store who gives her some valuable advice with which to battle her current affliction: ice cream, jelly beans, and no sleep. This is then turned into an awesome, catchy song about dry sheets, ice cream, and jelly beans being three of their favorite things, which is demonstrated in the video below. Damn, this song will be with me for days. In the end, Sarah doesn’t actually solve her bed wetting problem, she just shoots Jay’s turtle, Toot, because her lack of sleep convinces her that he’s talking to her, attempting to convince her to take over the world. All in all, there weren’t too many jokes in this episode, and the humor is more based on the situations. Adam Carolla was an unbelievable highlight to the episode that pushed the episode over the edge. In actuality, he’s probably the only reason I’m giving this episode a seven, because he’s just too damn awesome. One more thing I’d like to touch upon, that the brilliant Sarah Silverman does a good job bringing up at the end of this episode is the word milk. The word milk, and how some people tend to say it more like “melk” rather than with the I sound. Me and Sarah don’t like it. Quit it.
