Remember that Frank had ariline miles from pulling the Boggs stunt, so he already had a bunch to spend.

On a rewatch, Dennis is definitely getting visibly exhausted from all the running around throughout that long take (pretty much everything following stuffing the chickens into the vent). There's a progression, if you're watching for it.

On the same note, was Frank painting his clothes on because he had heard Dee talking about painting her butthole blue to hide the hole in her jeans? I think she mentions that in the previous episode.

I'd also add that the only thing that specifically makes me think the extended take was inspired by Birdman was the symbal crash whenever Charlie slammed the barstool. It made me think of the drum influence in Birdman, but that's a pretty small element overall.

Who was Charlie calling in the beginning? That episode was really great. One of the few episodes of any show I ever botherd to rewatch.

Did y'all know that Dennis saying "alright alright alright" throughout this most recent episode was a subtle and easily-missed referenced to Matthew Mcconaughey, who played a certain character in a certain other television show which gained a lot of attention last year for its use of an extended take?

This fact is horse poo poo. Only my facts are accurate. Did y'all notice how Charlie stomped the chair on the ground multiple times, then at the end it fell apart? And then Dennis took credit? Just another example of some of the subtle setup/payoff humor this show does so well.

After my first watch I thought it might have been Dennis to help explain why he looked so sick and exhausted at the end, but he's behind the bar when Charlie and the lady walk out. On the second watch I didn't find any clues. I think I like the Cricket answer. isaboo fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Feb 7, 2015 |

Charlie pulled shoes and a pair of jeans out of his backpack and staged a fake person in the stall. Then he told Mac to groan into the vents and say "I'm sorry" because he knew the vents went from the office to the bathroom.

I don't know if you guys are joking or what, but that's literally what happens. While he's talking to MAC in the bathroom, he removes a pair of jeans, some shoes and PVC pipe to put the jeans on.

When he started pulling all that PVC pipe from his "fix bag" I assumed he maybe knew something about plumbing, then was struck with confusion when the jean shorts came out, then blown away when we actually see it in action.

At first, was thinking that it's starting to feel to me like they have really amplified some of the character's traits this season moreso than ever before, with Dennis being a complete psychopath now (and KILLING IT. Holy poo poo is he good at being crazy). But I've come to realize that what's actually going on is that I still look at each episode as a random day in the lives of these people that could happen any time, when instead there is a huge degree of continuity season to season and even episode to episode.WeLandedOnTheMoon! posted:Remember that Frank had ariline miles from pulling the Boggs stunt, so he already had a bunch to spend. That highlights EXACTLY what i'm taking about. Outside of the addition of Frank to the crew, there was zero continuity between early episodes. That's the change.

Meatwave posted:This reminds me of a scam at Fatwallet where someone discovered that you could buy money from the US Mint at face value using airline miles and credit cards with cashback bonuses. There was free delivery too, and for some reason card companies weren't counting this as a cash advance. The money being sold by the US Mint was only coins. Dollar coins and half dollars sold out quickly. So all these assholes bought like $2000 in quarters and dimes, lugged the change to their banks, paid down the credit cards, and repeated this cycle again and again for like $30 a pop. People were maxing out their credit cards doing this and calling their card companies to get limits raised. They were unplugging the ethernet cords on Coinstar machines, which apparently makes it operate without a surcharge. Wow, they could have just taken them to their bank if they came straight from the mint, they're already rolled and everything, would have been a hundred times easier to get the cash.

You guys are imagining the continuity from the Wade Boggs episode to the Charlie Episode. The scam, as Charlie spelled out, was that they bought airline miles on Frank's credit card. Then they bought the steaks with the miles. They didn't have the miles from the LA trip.

I know someone that took advantage of this. He did just deposit it right into the bank. It's currency, they will take it. He made a half million miles or something doing it. Was a fantastic loophole until it got closed. Now you have to gently caress around with loading prepaid cards.

That's exactly what I thought was happening at the end, when he walked in and everybody was just kind of back to normal. I'll go ahead and be the first to say I didn't really care for this episode. It was neat and different, but I didn't really find it funny, and funny is why I watch the show. So
