    Hilarious

    This was great fun watching the actors play actors who don't know they are actors or however one would explain the plot. Sam and Dean or Jensen and Jared really showed off their skills in this episode. I love that the writers don't mind fitting in comedic episodes like this one every now and then. Or should I say every then and now?

    Shatter the Fourth Wall

    In television they say never break the fourth wall but in this episode they shattered it. I imagine it must've been difficult to execute this episode so cleverly when they first had the plot in mind. I had a hard time remembering they are characters playing the actors who play they're characters while trying to play they're actor's character's characters.

    As meta as something can be

    Absolutely hilarious and crazy. The story was good too and fit well with the plot.

    Top Episode

    I have only just watched this and it was an amazing episode and currently my favourite. I have tried to avoid any spoilers as i make my way through the entire series and was not expecting this at all. I laughed out so many times as the comedic episodes are always the best. Kudos to everyone involved and lots of funny moments. 10/10 easily

    • Goofs
      Immediately after pouring the blood of lamb, Balthazar places the jar to the left of the box of salt, but immediately after (and for the rest of the episode) the bloody jar is right of the bottle of alcohol.

      Misha Collins: [to Sam and Dean] You guys! You really punked me! I'm totally gonna tweet this one. "Hola, Misha-migos. J-Squared got me good. Really starting to feel like one of the guys."
