True to its name, TBS’s comedy The Detour, detoured from an otherwise hilarious episode and instead derailed completely, in a ridiculous attempt to smear gun owners, the 2nd Amendment, and the U.S. Constitution.
While at a theme park in Salvation, Florida, which celebrates Christmas 364 days a year (they’re closed on Christmas), husband and wife team Nate and Robin (Jason Jones and Natalie Zea) alienate a Christmas reveler by acting in a decidedly non-Holiday kind of spirit.
But before the well-intentioned guy can get away, Robin notices something under his shirt:
**WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE**
Robin: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
Christmas Reveler: What?
Robin: Who do you work for and why are you packing?
Christmas Reveler: This?
Robin: Yes.
Christmas Reveler: Oh, I keep this to keep our government honest.
Nate: Whoa! What is wrong with you?! There's children here!
Christmas Reveler: They are safer now.
Robin: No! No! They are statistically way less safe now!
Christmas Reveler: Our founding fathers knew how –
Nate: Our founding fathers would sh*t their pants if they saw what this gun could do.
Christmas Reveler: The Constitution is the oldest –
Robin: Is in dire need of an update.
Christmas Reveler: It's the most sacred document ever written.
Nate: This "Sacred document"? It's been amended 27 times! And then those amendments have been amended.
Robin: See you later, slavery.
Nate: Yeah, hello, women's suffrage.
Robin: Goodbye, alcohol.
Nate: Welcome back, alcohol.
Robin: This guy.
Nate: This stupid guy!
Christmas Reveler: Me?
Nate: Yes!
Robin: Yeah.
Christmas Reveler: You two have ruined my entire Christmas dinner! Jeez!
Nate: Your gun! Take it!
Robin: Take your gun!
Christmas Reveler: I know! You've got me all flustered.
Nate: Yeah. Responsible gun owner.
