Anyone see that episode the other night? I just caught a glimpse of it

Basically, it was a skit about a guy with gynecomastia who was angry at the world and was taking his frustrations out on stupid stuff (I forgot what they were)

idk if this has been posted yet or not

I've tried and couldn't find. I was hoping someone else saw the episode and remembers what it was about. From what I can remember the guy with gynecomastia was robbing people and such.

Yeah, I caught it. Steve Martin plays a dude with severe gyne who goes to see a "psychiatrist" - but not about his gyne, but some other completely unrelated issue. The psychiatrist, though, can't get past his manboobs. It's mildly funny.

Agree but it was also a little irritating

Its a case of comedy immitating reality. Even a shrink can have severe hangups.  In fact, I suspect most of them do.

While we might find that kind of humor unnerving, It does serve a purpose in that mare people become informed about gynecomastia to some extent.

so lose that dumb commonwealth citizenship and move south to a republic. 

JOKE!  JOKE!  it was a JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE!!!  ;)  ;)  ;)

just a 2-part skit, the 2nd person was the gyne one, like dondante described.  it parodies the underqualified and shallow psychologist character.  the first part is a girl's trying to tell him she's having problems with her sister and he's focused on her acne.  each of them tells him off and walks off.  that's pretty much it. 
* a man is more than a body will ever tell
* if it screws up your life the same, is there really any such thing as "mild" gyne?
