I don't have much to say about "Vendettas" other than it's a good, lighthearted episode that again shows Greg's philosophy on revenge. But it also plays around with it, Wolf and Hakon initially work well together until they're respective brutish natures end up clashing and by the time they work it out the tables have been turned. Weirdly enough, I think Hakon ending in such a miserable manner is a bit appropriate it reminds me of what Tolkien wrote about evil being inherently self-destructive. Vinnie who isn't evil in the slightest actually gets his revenge and some sense of satisfaction.
The big highlight of course is Vinnie and Jeff Bennett's ridiculous John Travolta impression. A good running gag is hard to pull off and despite Vinnie's life just generally sucking all around, it's never played as something truly awkward or to the point where we really start to pity the guy. Nothing quite to cringe comedy style sitcoms as it were. Plus Jeff's little "Aw man" right before the forklift Vinnie's atop of tips into the river is just perfect vocal comedy. Just one more misfortune topped onto his bad night.
