Please bear in mind through the magic of editing, and for the need to streamline play so that a long filming day doesn't turn into two long filming days, there are certain things that happen in that episode which are not actually legal in Munchkin. You should not use that show as a source for rulings, or even an idea on how to handle more complicated aspects of play, only for getting the minimal basics down. I never refer back to that episode as a great example of how the game should
actually be played, and would rather people look at the flash demo found
here. I'd meant to refer to it before, but now you have it.
