in season 6 where he steals Kelso's van and crashes it

and when he and hyde talk Kelso into breaking into his law academy where Uncle Phil catches them TWICE



the eric of seasons 1-5 wouldn't have done that

I'm kind of new to the show, and only watch it late at night. I watched a Christmas episode last night where Kelso takes the Toys for Kids out the Police Station. He thought they were there for the taking, but the other three guys knew the real deal.

All of them unwrap the gifts, play and ruin them in the basement. It made them look so buffoonish. They were out of HS at this point. I didn't find it funny, and they all looked like fools.
