Ep 2. WW Laserz

Tom Peters is back in Jefferton and in the second episode of 'Tom Goes to the Mayor' season 1, he's got a new business idea: 'WW Laserz'. Tom turns to the Mayor, asking for his help in starting the business, but things quickly spiral out of control as the Mayor's incompetence and oddball behavior comes to the forefront.

As we follow Tom on his journey, we learn more about Jefferton and its quirky residents. With each passing scene, we are introduced to zany characters such as Joy Peters, Tom's wife, and the Mayor's alter-ego, Donkey Kong. This episode is chock-full of laughs, making it a must-watch for anyone wanting to indulge in some wacky humor.

One of the best things about this episode is the way that it pokes fun at the idea of starting a business. Tom's initial idea of WW Laserz is seemingly solid, but once he starts to bring the plans to fruition with the Mayor, the whole concept quickly falls apart. It's a biting satire of what it takes to become an entrepreneur. The episode exaggerates the difficulty of starting and maintaining a business, highlighting the ridiculousness of the process.

What makes this episode even more enjoyable is the way that it ties together the weirdness of Jefferton with the absurdity of Tom's idea. In Jefferton, nothing is too strange, with outlandish concepts and characters appearing at every turn. By making Tom's business proposal equally bizarre, the episode effectively weaves together the town's already-present weirdness with a new, equally outlandish plotline.

One of the best things about 'Tom Goes to the Mayor' as a series is how it balances humor with social commentary. While this episode is largely a send-up of the struggles of starting a small business, it also takes a look at the way that people's egos and self-imposed importance can get in the way of their success. The Mayor is a perfect example of this, constantly inserting himself into Tom's project, even though he has no qualifications or understanding of what Tom's trying to achieve. This is a commentary on the way that authority figures can often become overbearing, making it difficult for those without power to succeed.

On another level, the show is also a sardonic look at American culture. The show lampoons Tom's naive, idealistic belief that he can create a successful business out of thin air, as if success is a guarantee in the land of the free. The show is critical of the way that people believe they can make it big just by coming up with a good idea, without any real work or effort. The show is poking fun at those dreamers who believe that all they need is a good idea, without realizing that success is a long and challenging process.

Overall, 'Tom Goes to the Mayor' season 1 episode 2, 'WW Laserz' is a great entry into the series. It's got everything: hilarious characters, satirical commentary, and an absurd storyline that weaves together the oddity of Jefferton with Tom's business concept. It's a must-watch for anyone who likes their comedy weird, and it's an insightful commentary on the American Dream. With its absurd sense of humor and biting satire, this show is worth your time - just don't expect anything too serious.
