Holy Moly Mulaney: "In The Name of the Mother, and the Son and the Holy Andre"

We've probably all lied to our mother a bunch of times just to make her feel better and not knowing some of the bad things we have done. Yet sometime those lies can turn into some crazy situations for us and that's what this week's "Mulaney" has brought upon with John and his mother.

With John's mother coming for the weekend, only to spend some time until Saturday, John gets things ready for her. Like he put up a frame that says something of that an Irish family would have in their house. Apparently John has never put that frame up on the wall before but had lied to his mother. Just like he also lied that he went to church every Sunday, met a cool priest and hangout with him playing hoops.

When John's mother comes, played by Nora Dunn, the John, Jane and Motif greet her. Later on John takes her to meet Lou. John asked Lou to meet his mother and with the unpleasantly agreeing to do it, after talking to her he falls in liking her. Then Lou ask her to go to a Yankee game with him and David Letterman. She accepts it and tells John that she can go with him to Sunday Mass at his church. That really put John in a situation.

After pleading with Lou to cancel the date, he had to go to the other side of evil for help. He went to Church and ask the father of that church to help him by lying to his mother that he's this priest and he knows John. Of course, the father doesn't agree and tells him that he should do some heavy praying. As soon as John left he did ask the father for a blessing on his appearance on The Tonight Show.

Later that night, as John was watching TV in two in the morning. As it was quiet, John begin to get down on his knees and prayed. As soon as he was done praying Jane comes out and yells out if he was praying and John replies no that he was master-baiting.

That morning, as John and his mother were at Sunday Mass, all of the sudden the priest that John had told his mother about is actually for real. He came out and started telling jokes and stories from the bible. Then John and his mother met with him and John had a quick talk with him. Apparently, the father that John talked to had died yesterday and he was the fill in. John asked him if the father died at two in the morning and the guy tells him no but that he died at 2:01 am.

That freaked out John and he went to Oscar for help. Oscar told him that he shouldn't lie to his mother it would just hurt her more than hiding the truth from her. So later on after the Yankee game, John's mother was about to head out and John told her the truth. She wasn't angry at him but did mention that she had a kiss with Lou at the game. Apparently Lou has a crush on her.

Also in this episode, Jane goes through changes not just with her relationship with her boyfriend but with some other changes. Apparently Jane is taking these birth control pills called Jazzaprime. It's suppose to jazz up your life or so.

As soon as Jane takes them, she starts changing. She gets hot and cold. After her date, she comes home sweating through her shirt and Motif and John ask if she was okay. She starts to get into mood swings.

Then Andre a comes in with a gift for John's mother, brownies..pot brownies. Apparently we learn that Andre is taking the same pills as Jane is and as soon as he stops, he changes into a completely different person like a 360 difference.

Later on we see Jane, as she keeps taking the pills, changes into the same character as Andre. It was really freaking out Motif and Jane. She then stops taking it but her boyfriend, who's a lawyer fighting for women to have the right to take pills, didn't like that she stop taking the pills. He also didn't like to wear condoms.

That upset Jane and then she gets him turned on and told him to go into her bedroom and as soon as he runs in there, she calls 911 and reports a man in her room pretending to hold a gun. And then later, we see him coming back to see Jane and then a buffed up Andre comes and takes him out.

I find this episode funny. I thought that Martin and Nora's characters together were funny. It's not surprising to see some former SNL cast members on this show. I do love it. Jane's storyline was funnier too.

You can catch "Mulaney" Sunday nights at 9:30/8:30c on FOX.
