This is my favorite episode of the show, this was an episode that really was a bit revolutionary for it's time from the fact that it not just was one of the first dream episodes before they became common place but to me it was really just the blending in of sci-fi, horror and comedy, this episode show what a beautiful combination they make.
The whole episode is like a "Twilght Zone" episode gone maximum overdrive. The premise is ridiculous on aliens from a planet of walnuts but that's what makes it all the more funny. I really like how the episode despite being funny also has a bit of a scary tone to it because of how weird things really get and just keep getting weirder and almost dangerous.
I really like Rob's reactions to everything, I can imagine if I was in the same predicament I would react the same. From losing his sense of humor and thumbs for no reason, the sudden obsession for walnuts surfacing but mainly just everyone familiar to him not acting like themselves. Really like the supporting cast members performances where they act contrary to themselves. This really gives the feel of isolation as Rob is constantly trying to make sense out of a nonsensical situation and how everything familiar to his life has just turned on a dime.
The highlight of the episode no doubt is the closet surprise which just cracked me up, I'll give you a hint it's some kind of nut.
Overall this episode is just nutty fun.
