I figured it was a joke about how vaccinations cause autism and other mental disorders*. Charlie, clearly being a person with learning issues.

*I do not actually believe this. I am referring simply to the phenomenon.

I have a feeling that its just another part of Charlie's hosed up life. The "vaccinations" were probably something else and Charlie just doesn't actually know what a vaccination really is.

Charlie's mom has OCD and is terrified of anything happening to him, so it wouldn't shock me at all if she went overboard with vaccines.

But hasn't it already been established that Charlie has said he's had or done certain things and it turns out he is using the wrong words?

Either way, for a throwaway line, it's still pretty funny.

The way Charlie delivers the "Hoo-ly poo poo. Dennis is Spiderman" makes it. I don't think I acknowledged that line on first viewing, but when I re-watched the episode it made me bust up. And you know, in that moment, that Charlie believed it.


Dennis referring to them as "The boys to the men" is where I lost it.

I think the part where Dennis gets upset that they're answering his questions is a callback to a previous episode this season where Dennis was doing that to someone. But I forget who... does anyone else remember this?

I'm not 100% and maybe it's because I just watched it, but it could be a call-back to when they bought a boat and stole his thunder while saying, "We'll take it."

There was also the time Mac tells Dennis to peel out in the car, and Dennis gets upset because he was going to peel out anyway, and Mac ruined it. That might've been the fuel crisis ep?

Fuel crisis episode was amazing. Charlie siphoning the gas into the barrels and then mac complaining the gas was ruining his van interior.

In the second-to-most recent episode, when Mac is fighting the ninjas does anyone know what song was playing? I hear that poo poo from time to time but can't ever find the name of it.

...I guess that's the fun way of saying we won't see Cricket anymore. That's a shame, but there's very little torture they could still inflict on him. In my heart, he's still running free somewhere along a highway with his dog pack. Maybe somewhere near Darby, where they throw out scraps a man could survive on. Maybe he even has a little shack he made somewhere with stolen construction supplies and fixtures from a foreclosed home, way out in the woods where he doesn't bother anyone. Live that dream, Cricket. Until you freeze to death one winter, at least.

Nah, David Hornsby still does a lot of work on the show. I believe he's written at least one episode this season. Anyway, not like we see Cricket more than once a season anyway.

It's funny because I'm constantly forgetting that he's only there once a season. He just makes such an impact every time he's on that it feels like he's there more.

Cricket has only been in 12 episodes out of 101 :aaaaa:

- Exploits a Miracle
- Gets Whacked Pt. 2
- Dances Their Asses Off
- Manhunters
- Pooped The Bed?
- Cracks Liberty Bell
- Wrestles for Troops
- Dee Gives Birth
- Mac's Big Break
- Storm of the Century
- Reunion
- Pop-Pop: Final Solution

(He has supervised/produced/written/directed/acted in at least 65 episodes though.)

Most recently he wrote the Awards episode and the Quarantine episode. Both were amazing.

Looking through all the episodes, I cannot believe that the show has gone on so long, and I sure as hell can't believe what a great quality it has maintained.

I have a question:

Charlie has the BAD NEW tattoo on his arm from "Dennis and Dee Get a New Dad". However, when the cast (particularly Rob) has talked about it in interviews, it's always explained as "He was trying to give himself the words BAD NEWS but it got too painful."

In the actual episode though, this is never established. It just shows him giving himself the tattoo. Is there a deleted scene where this is explained?

He got cabin fever-- he went crazy from isolation (think The Shining). Also, he was probably going through hardcore alcohol withdrawal, delirium tremens and the like, as he never drank in those 6 days.

Exaggerated, but alcohol withdrawal actually can kill you, unlike a lot of substances that just makes you wish it would when you kick the habit.

DT requires some pretty serious alcohol abuse, though. As far as I know, most cases are in people who are intoxicated most of the day, every day.

Yeah, I've known a lot of alcoholics in my time and the only ones who would get severe DTs were those who drank a minimum of a half gallon of 80 proof spirits or 3+ liters of wine a day.
