[edit] Plot

Hank is constipated, and everyone wants to offer an opinion on how to cure it. After a humiliating visit to a proctologist, he is told that unless his condition improves, his colon will have to be surgically removed. Peggy makes Hank change his diet and his living habits in an attempt to become regular again, but Hank decides he'd rather die with a burger in his colon than live and eat faux-food.

[edit] Trivia

• Co-creator Greg Daniels has named this as his favorite episode.
• When Hank unplugs the television you can still see it glowing like it's on.

[edit] Quotes

Peggy: Would that be good for a man who's constipated? Hank: Peggy! Peggy: Well, I didn't say it was you. Clerk: Is this for your husband? Peggy: Yes.

Peggy: Hi Luanne. How did the big shampooing final go? Luanne: Well, I passed the lather part okay, but I failed rinse, and then I failed repeat too, because that includes rinse, which I don't think is very fair.

Dale: Hey, Peggy. Is Hank around? Peggy: Sorry, but Hank is having his bathroom time right now.

Doctor: If you could stretch your father's intestine out, it would go around the world. Hank: Wait a second. A piece of steak would have to shoot through at the speed of sound.

Hank: I would rather die with a burger in my colon than live eating faux-food.

Hank: (in the health food store) Do you have anything that tastes good? Health Food Store Owner: Uhh...no.
