I'm a newbie myself, and a big fan of chinesepod, but I've got to say that this episode didn't really strike me as humourous, if that was what you were reaching for. I felt the actual content though was great. It was a big help to be able to see the connection between Ren and the other characters, instead of just trying to memorize the shapes of all the individual characters.
One other small thing though that I would have liked to see on the content side of things would be the meanings of the characters that were made with the component (the ones flashing on the wall at the end), so that I could better see how the introduction of the component affects the meanings of other characters.
Either way, I'm looking forward to what I can learn from the coming episode,
