Season 1 Episode 4: In Which Hobo Reveals His Past As A Specially Trained Secret Operative In A Country That May Or May Not Be Russia
HW1: ah I can't decide between the one with Mike Meyers and the one where he helps a Prima Ballerina "defect from her Iron Curtain captors"
HW2: oh man, Prima Ballerina!
HW1: done!
HW2: Hobo!
Hobo found an actual hobo!
HW1: he did!
he is not a very helpful hobo
HW2: Not at all!
So they pulled over to use a payphone?
on this long stretch of road?
HW1: or to go through that large gate?
HW2: "Strictly private" gate
sooo Canadian
HW1: Hobo's like 'get up real hobo we didn't foil that kidnapping at all!'
HW2: haha,
WOAH full page pic in the paper
that's some big bucks
All cops speak dog also.
HW1: and convenient for identifying should she get kidnapped
HW2: yes!
This guy looks really clean and well dressed, I'm surprised people are able to peg him as a hobo.
HW1: he actually looks terrible for a Canadian
HW2: hahaha
HW1: “did she do a quick pas de deux?”
very snarky police officer
HW2: Is that an innuendo or a ballet move?
HW1: a ballet move!
HW2: I am not well versed in ballet!
I like that the cop brought this hobo with him on to private property
HW1: and a dog!
sorry sir, this dog just has some questions
aw Hobo is realizing the Law won't help him this time!
HW2: that's okay, he's a renegade anyway!
HW1: what country is this lady from..?
HW2: Russia I think?
HW1: that is not a Russian accent!
HW2: maybe they're trying to be ambiguous!
or canadians can't do russian accents
HW1: haha
'just speak you know, not like a Canadian'
HW2: This guy is super willing to follow a dog into breaking into a house
HW1: why are you asking her what's going on!?
HW2: also she is super willing to admit to a stranger that she wants to defect!
HW1: aw they threaten but they don't know Hobo has already been skydiving
HW2: bahaha
experienced!
"not just an ordinary dog!"
HW1: "we're not dealing with just an ordinary dog"
HW2: like he's encountered Hobo before?
HW1: WHAT DO THE NON-RUSSIANS KNOW?
is it that he's a ghost!?
HW2: Hobo was a secret op. for years, deep in Russia
HW1: yesss
HW2: He had to get now, now he's on the run!
HW1: code name "Ghost"
HW2: yes!
Also the actor dog looks really, really bored in some scenes,
HW1: oh my god we need to remake Hobo, the early secret agent years
HW2: The Adventures of Young Hobo!
HW1: hahaha yes throwing this plate of food will work
surprise! incapacitated by this spaghetti!
HW2: "Hope the dog gets some help."
only in Littlest Hobo
does that line make sense
haha plates are serious weapons of assault in 1980s canada!
HW1: he has to hope the dog will get help, he's run out of spaghetti
the ballerina is like, ‘the dog is your plan...’
HW2: as any logical person would be!
she doesn't know Hobo...
HW1: he has skills!
HW2: I hope Hobo's flying that chopper!
HW1: of course!
HW2: ew droooool
oh man it's the necklace
I thought it was drool
HW1: oh man Hobo took care of everything else and you couldn't avoid one guy with a gun
haha
Hobo doesn't drool!
HW2: If it wasn't for people in this show, Hobo's life would be perfect
HW1: "the dog told you"
HW2: haha
After this show I will automatically trust any German shepherd on the chance it's Hobo
HW1: of course
hahaha "a guys life depends on it"
that is super professional cop talk
HW2: I like how to cop can conclude that he guy wasn't lying because the dog showed up with a necklace and a scarf
The leaps of logic are mindboggling
HW1: ah and now everyone gets forgiven again!
HW2: "Sport"! add it to the list of aliases
That woman's face in the last frame!
she looked really worried about the entire dog situation
HW1: she's still having trouble understanding this whole dog situation
'wait so that wasn't his dog?'
'it was just a random dog?'
HW2: it must be a translation issue
"do random dogs help a lot in this country?"
HW1: 'his whole plan involved a dog he had just met?'
'are all dogs in this country like that?'
HW2: All the more reason to defect from non-Russia!
HW1: non-Russia doesn't have super intelligent hero dogs!
HW2: unless they're also spy dogs
HW1: oh yes unless they are from there originally
maybe the non-Russian government is just hiding all the hero dogs
HW2: but how could you possibly trap and detain a hero-dog like Hobo?
I imagine they would start working together if they were kept in the same facility.
HW1: they couldn't, they all escaped!
That’s why Hobo is here now!
he has to stay moving to hide from the non-Russians
HW2: ahh I see, it all comes into focus
HW1: also I looked it up, she couldn't have done a pas de deux! A pas de deux needs two people!
that police officer knows nothing about ballet
or believing dogs the first time
HW2: haha, just one flashy phrase
