That's the issue- I feel like it will. It's the same issue with Spongebob: one day Squidward's toenail got ripped off and the next thing you knew they made gross-out their standard. I at least think the show has the decency to show some restraint, but with the show entering its sixth year, I don't think it's going to stop. They're just easy jokes that can be used as filler, albeit unpleasant ones.

Yeah, the vision from "The Check" was much better because it was all about dramatic heightening and some slight commentary. I think that the idea in "The Heist" is on the same general level, though it doesn't necessarily push as far into the extremities of the situation.
