Honey, I'm In Therapy
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Lying on his therapist's couch, Sam unpacks a painful upbringing with a workaholic scientist father whose shrinking and growth rays nearly fed the kids to a giant scorpion and turned his baby brother into a monster that flattened Las Vegas. The therapist dutifully probes the trauma while the stories grow darker and more absurd, until Sam collapses into a terrified scream, then bursts out laughing that the whole confession was lifted from movies the therapist has never seen. Unamused, the therapist deadpans that Sam owes him $300.

Meet the cast. 2
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Yeah, I mean, we used to ride its thorax and pet its feelers.
Wait, wait, your father or your brother?
You owe me $300.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
The patient's backstory riffs on Disney's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, which he garbles as "Honey, I Blew Up Those Little Kids" when revealing the prank.

Patient
She said I wasn't ready to be in a relationship that was living in the past. I was an emotional child
- 00:11
Therapist
Do you think you're living in the past?
- 00:15
Patient
No
- 00:17
Therapist
Do you think that there's some event from your childhood that she's referring to
- 00:21
Patient
I Don't know
- 00:22
Therapist
tell me about your father.
- 00:29
Patient ?
Whoo He was a complicated man.
- 00:33
Therapist
How so
- 00:34
Patient
he was a scientist Totally obsessed with work. Always doing experiments in the attic. Rarely had time for me and my sister. I remember one time, he was obsessed with miniaturization and made this laser that accidentally shrunk me and my sister. We were lost in the backyard for days.
- 00:59
Therapist
That must have been a very confusing time for you.
- 01:02
Patient
It was. We were almost eaten by a scorpion and 30 times bigger than us. He killed our aunt.
- 01:11
Therapist
Were you and your aunt close?
- 01:15
Patient
Yeah, I mean, we used to ride its thorax and pet its feelers. We ate out of an Oreo together.
- 01:24
Therapist
Let's get back to your father.
- 01:28
Patient
Well, years later, he blew up my baby brother with a growth ray. He grew to be 150 times the size of a man that went on a rampage in Vegas.
- 01:38
Therapist
Wait, wait, your father or your brother?
- 01:41
Patient
My brother.
- 01:43
Therapist
I see.
- 01:43
Patient
I'm sure you probably saw it on the news. The giant baby that destroyed Vegas.
- 01:48
Therapist
Yes, I vaguely remember hearing something about that, yes. It sounds to me like your father's experiments took quite a toll on your family.
- 01:56
Patient
Then there was the drinking. He used to beat us, yell at us, say that we were the reasons that his inventions failed. and when we would cry, he would blow up our heads bigger than beach balls so he couldn't fit through doors. He'd be stuck in the basement, and then he would pour bleach in our eyes.
- 02:18
Therapist
That must have been very difficult.
- 02:21
Patient
Sometimes when he was drunk, he would blow up his penis bigger than a sleeping bag and chase our mother around the house with it. It was awful.
- 02:31
Therapist
Where's your father now?
- 02:33
Patient
Well, after years and years of this, my mother finally snapped. One night when he was being particularly bad, she used the laser against him, turning him smaller than a germ. Suppose he's dead now. But some nights, I wake up thinking, maybe he's inside me. Maybe he's turning my body against me, cell by cell. A cancer virus, a virus that is my own. Ah! No!
- 03:08
Therapist ?
Jesus!
- 03:09
Patient ?
I'd you, .
- 03:11
Therapist
Don't do that.
- 03:12
Patient
I can't believe you fell for that. Haven't you even seen those movies?
- 03:15
Therapist
What movies?
- 03:16
Patient
You know, Honey, I Blew Up Those Little Kids or something. I don't know. You're an idiot.
- 03:22
Therapist
You owe me $300.
- 03:24
Patient
You believe me, you dumb .
