The thing that really elevates this episode for me is that the self-aware, self-parodying aspects aren't just used for a cheap laugh, they also tie in to hints of character development and a more serious theme underlying the episode.
I wish they had been just a slight bit less obvious with the underlying message man is monstrous , but I was genuinely impressed with the integration of character arc into this silly little story. Ultimately, it's an enjoyable experience. It isn't a perfect episode, but its mistakes feel corny, a welcome change from the wooden aspects of "My Struggle".

Remembering the Stars We Lost in Watch the video. Rarely have I been so entertained. I knew the moment I saw his name in the credits that this was going to be one for the books; few make me laugh harder than the Kiwi funny man, whose delivery is always impeccable and who never shies away from the silliest physical comedy.
And for all that Guy Mann's story was amusing as hell, there was also a great deal of philosophizing thrown in about human nature, the meaning of existence, and what is truly monstrous. This is the sort of duality I've always loved about the best campy episodes: we're all cackling like mad, but at the same time, we can't help but nod and hum in agreement as the truth of the commentary hits home.
This episode was a refreshing slice of pure fun, and a great reminder that for all of the dark, tense, disgusting episodes of The X-Files , it's always known how to be goofy and silly, too. The others were all destroyed during filming, stolen, or simply lost to the sands of time. The only quibble I have is that by the end credits, Guy has gone off to hibernate for the next 10, years.
Which means the likelihood of him showing up in any future reboots of the show—perhaps starring William Mulder—are slim.
