Ep 3. Global Warning

In "Brickleberry" season 4 episode 3, titled "Global Warning," the gang must deal with the effects of climate change on their small town. Denzel, the park's resident conspiracy theorist, thinks that the government is behind the changes in temperature, while Woody, the park's inept director, is more concerned about the loss of profits due to the unseasonably warm weather. Meanwhile, Ethel, the park's eco-conscious ranger, leads a group of park visitors on an environmentally-friendly hike but finds that her message is falling on deaf ears.

As the episode progresses, the gang tries to come up with a solution to their climate woes. Denzel has a theory that the government is secretly altering the climate to create a new Ice Age, but he can't find any evidence to support his claims. Woody decides that the best way to deal with the heat wave is to install a giant air conditioner in the park, but his plan backfires when the AC goes haywire and starts to freeze everything in sight.

Meanwhile, Ethel tries to get the message of environmentalism through to the park visitors, who are more concerned about taking selfies and trampling on the fragile ecosystem. She eventually gets through to them when a group of endangered animals wanders into the park, reminding everyone of the consequences of environmental degradation.

Throughout "Global Warning," the show touches on the very real issue of climate change and how it affects even the most remote and unlikely places. From Denzel's theories to Ethel's eco-friendly message, the show manages to make a statement without being too heavy-handed or preachy. The humor is typical "Brickleberry" – crude, irreverent, and often downright silly – but the underlying message is one that's hard to ignore.

The episode also features some fun subplots, including a rivalry between Woody and a rival park director, who is determined to steal the "Brickleberry" visitors for himself. There's also a side story involving Steve, the hapless forest ranger, and his attempts to woo a new park employee.

Overall, "Global Warning" is a solid episode of "Brickleberry." It manages to be both funny and topical, while also delivering a message that's relevant to the world we live in today. Fans of the show will appreciate the usual mix of crude humor and low-brow antics, but they might also find themselves thinking a little bit about their own impact on the environment.
