    Another great entry in the show

    When the episode begins we find out that is Roger's birthday and he decides to organize his own party; a roasting event where everyone will mock him for his worst qualities. After a while Roger is annoyed and leaves the party crying. He soon schemes to kill the Smith family for the prank they done and after they find out they go on a space shuttle, but Roger finds them anyway and when he finds them, he manages to make amends with them but at one condition; that they do a roasting show where they insult themselves and their worst qualities and Roger laughs a lot in the end.

    This episode was very funny as it had a bit different story from most of the episodes of this season and there were also lots to references to classic movies such as ALIEN, APOLLO 13 and even the Ace of Base song THE SIGN. Another very good installment.

      Roger's opening costume: Kevin Bacon (see Four Little Words (2007)).
    • Goofs
      The Smiths are seen rising from a hibernation on day 3 of their space travel. This would not be necessary since the space-station can be reached in only hours after launch.

      Roger the Alien: You can't participate Klaus, I hate you. I say that not out of anger, but simply as a fact. It's 67 degrees outside and I hate you.
