In terms of "The Boredom," I agree that the overarching skit of "them missing the events" gets tiring after the second time (heck, even the writers felt it, so that's why they decided to diverge and put those other disconnected scenes.) In my opinion (and yours from what I read,) the first half ought to be the time to show off most of these original and funny skits (maybe cut out some, like the Billy one) and the rest should be the vain resolution - and a totally boring one at that to enhance the episode's theme and feel. In the end, I think "The Boredom" is designed purposefully to be forgettable. It's made to illustrate boredom at its best (or most boring) after all. It's strange, because the actual boredom is only centered around the main duo, whereas the funny and memorable scenes are played out by the not-so prominent side characters. So "The Boredom" for me felt like a thought experiment - can we create an episode in which we can reverse main and side character? And the response the episode got from the fans was their answer.

I personally like "The Boredom" for its innovative, in terms of the cartoon medium, concept. If you really think about it, there aren't many kids shows that would go the extra mile and dedicate an entire episode to the idea of boredom. It's that type of spirit that still keeps the show strong even after six seasons (despite the occassional blunder, but hey, it's for the better anyway.)
