One of the funniest episodes

From the first time I saw this episode and 10 years later this episode is hysterical. I totally disagree with the other review about racism ITS A JOKE

The scene where he tries to do charades bc he thinks the other triad leader doesn't speak English is classic as well as the scene at the dojo where Shawn gets into the kids class due to ageism. Gus is the best in that scene.

Just so much funny silliness in this one if there are Chinese people that are offended then I'm sorry but I thought the jokes mostly made Shawn look foolish and the many Chinese actors including Bruce Locke (who I love) were great at interacting with Shawn & Gus' juvenile antics.

Lame

A disappointing season opener. The story was weak. Having Henry rejoin SBPD to be "in charge" of his son an Gus has a long way to go to be purposeful.

Way too racist

This could have been another really good episode. The mystery is entertaining. Sadly it's super racist. Can't even say it aged poorly. It was bad when it came out. Shawn does say slightly, mildly racist things here and there in the series as "jokes", but this episode is hard to watch.

It starts with shoehorning in Ken in the beginning just so he can be brought back later on as their source then interpreter. Because Shawn and Gus seem to know absolutely no other Chinese people and the show, filmed in Vancouver, has had virtually no East Asian people on it for four years. That's a problem in itself.

Then you have all the instances they have Gus point out are problematic. They're supposed to be jokes, but hanging a lantern on their racist nature doesn't make them funny or acceptable. Yet Shawn doesn't stop. He just keeps going and going and going. It's just really awkward for long sections of the show. As I said, Shawn has made the rare borderline joke here and there in the show. But I hate watching this and finding out the character we all love can be so horrible.

I have no idea why this was allow to be made. I'll have to remember to skip it on any future rewatches.

Quotes
Shawn Spencer: Excuse me, I'm here for a class.
Clerk: This class?
Shawn Spencer: Yeah, I believe it starts in...
Clerk: Five minutes.
Shawn Spencer: Right, five minutes from now. I'm usually 10 minutes early, so I'm already feeling behind.
Clerk: This class is for five- to eight-year-olds.
Shawn Spencer: Yes. Yes, it is. And, uh, that's what I call...
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Discrimination.
[points at the clerk triumphantly]
Clerk: Discrimination?
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Yes, and ageism.
Clerk: Who are you?
[gestures vacantly to buy himself time]
Burton 'Gus' Guster: I'm his lawyer.
Shawn Spencer: That's right.
Clerk: You brought a lawyer?
Shawn Spencer: I keep a lawyer on retainer at all times. There is so much injustice in the world that you practically can't leave home without one. And apparently, today it paid off.
Clerk: Right, okay. Well, I will see you in court, then. Now...
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Perfect. Now I need a statement from you. And as we plan to try this in both civil and criminal court, I'll need the police here as well. Can I use your phone, or do you only let the white people use that?
Clerk: Who said anything about white people?
Burton 'Gus' Guster: You just did.
Clerk: The words "white people" did not come out of my mouth.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: There they are again. Luckily, I had my hand recorder on for that one. By the way, I am now disclosing that this conversation is being recorded.
Clerk: Recorded? Okay, this is crazy.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Crazy? You wanna know crazy? I sued 300 businesses last year alone. I sued a hot dog cart and got everything but the wheels and the buns, which I won in the civil case two months later. Now, if you don't mind, before I start snapping evidence photos, I'm a little parched, so can you tell me which one of these fountains I'm allowed to use?
