Just watched "The Do-It-Yourself-Dreadful Affair" and "The Super Colossal Affair," and, whoa. This was my first exposure to season three MFU (now with even wackier music!) and, um, I can see what people mean about that whole "screwball comedy" thing.
I suppose it's successful as screwball comedy - I haven't laughed at anything as hard as I did at that "Call me Nappy" line in a while - but, oy. It'd be funnier if you didn't still get the impression that the show was trying to be a spy show, or a drama, or anything. It's sort of the sad kind of funny at this point.
Um, sad or not, though, really funny. I mean, come on, in Dreadful they escaped on a revolving bed - and when Napoleon jumped on, it was directly onto Illya, even though there was plenty of empty space left for him. And then in Super Colossal, he once again jumps onto Illya on a bed. Hmmm....
Also, the jealous-boyfriend looks seem to have been turned up to eleven - and in Super Colossal it's Napoleon's turn to be jealous, since pool boy Illya is (duh) too much for the innocent to resist.
Also, um, pool boy Illya.
Yeah.
Still, I kind of miss season one...
