Everyone loves Yacht Rock, as everyone should, but I think the non-lowercase-yacht-rock-themed “Runnin’ with the Devil” may be my favorite episode. This is because even though it’s a parody of Van Halen, in parodying the band they capture everything that’s actually great about them. Everything that happens from about 3:20 inward in this video is basically a depiction of what made the real-world Van Halen awesome or the appropriate real-world reaction to their awesomeness, maybe slightly exaggerated–actually, more likely slightly understated.
