  1. The funniest part was when Robin put his fingers in the mask and scared the gang :) (We were all laughing when that happened, even the third time we watched it)
    The tattoos were very strange and Harold and the women too.
    'Mama, help me!' Scared sherrif, we never saw that, except for this time. Hiding behind Robins gang. Actually, the outlaws he wants in prison or dead, saved his life. :), that gif of Allan and Will. Glad it worked, gifs are always such fun!
    'You never listen to me.'
    'What?'
    'You never listen to me.'
    'Did you say something?' ;) I loved that in the end, the last picture turns black and white, why did they change that later? I really liked that, but it appeared in just a few episodes, sadly. Then they deleted it :(

    1. Definitely a good part! Only Will thinks it's cool and he wants to look closer at it. :)
      A little bit weird.
      I didn't see that until this time watching it! Sometimes the Sheriff can be so frustrating and as Much says, "I hate the Sheriff." Then, other times he can be so funny!
      Thank you! Gifs are pretty fun, and I am really surprised that this one worked!
      Robin and Much are so funny! I, too, really liked the end! It was so awesome when the last bit was black and white, it made it different from all other series! I was sad when they deleted it.
      Thank you for your comment, Ruth!

  2. This episode was quite funny and weird at the same time.

    Loved it when Robin scared the gang with that weird mask. Harold was a strange guy. Apparently Much understand him and must take care of him. Those tattoos of Harold where strange, so does those womans who Harold fight with.

    'Mama, help me'- That part was very funny. Sherrif Vaisey was hilarious. The gang are saving him. He should be grateful and glad. Not chase them. I he left them doing what they always do, it isn't so fun anymore. The tension wouldn't be there anymore.

    Love the gif! I am glad it worked, gifs are so much fun.

    1. Yes it was! That is exactly how to put it!

      Robin was the only one who had his "head on straight" in this episode. Everyone else was freaked out! It was nice how Much took care of Harold. I wonder what his real name was.

      Some times I like Vaisey, sometimes I don't. He was pretty funny in this episode, but he wasn't thankful that Robin had saved him!

      Thank you! It was fun that it worked!

      Thanks so much for your comment, Rachel!
