Liam is a charming kid, but his parents are dumb and dumber. The words "No special diet was prescribed for me" made my hair stand on end. They finally put an end to Nozardan's efforts, and he was right: not only Penny's laziness is to blame, but also her husband's infuriating complaisance. He listened to the threats of imminent death and immediately told his wife, "I don't feed you enough." The giggles of these two morons were infuriating. It is not surprising that in the entire history of the show, they have steadfastly retained the title of the most unloved participants in the show.
The end is hard.
