I love this show, but this episode was not it. It was so outwardly fat phobic that it made it really difficult to watch. Showing the whole cast in fat suits and shoving their faces with bacon really puts a gross aspect to being overweight. It reminded me of how openly toxic the world was towards bigger women. I know this is definitely a sign of the times and I'm sure they wouldn't have made this episode today, but rewatching it was so difficult and made me feel "icky". Jay is not a big girl, and to have the whole bed tilt when she sits down is ridiculous. Also the fact that he had to go on erectile dysfunction medication because he wasn't attracted to her is really a sad story line. Again, love this show - but this episode sucked.
