Officer Farva posted:That's exactly what I thought was happening at the end, when he walked in and everybody was just kind of back to normal. After watching the episode, it reminded me of "Psycho Pete Returns", where it just shows that the gang's perception of everyone else remains constant; Charlie does a lot for the gang, but the gang just attributes everything he does as pointless or they give credit to someone else in the gang.

I'd really like to see this episode from the gang's perspective. They are trying to do their sweet plan and charlie keeps messing things up. Mac is trying to get the chickens out to the truck and then Charlie bursts in demanding he moans into a vent for no reason. They are trying to pack up their steaks and Charlie comes in and demands they start packaging limes for some reason.

That's probably the best episode of this show I have ever seen. I don't understand the people in this thread who don't understand how Dennis got so sweaty and hosed up drilling a bunch of chickens back and forth for 15 minutes straight, though.

I don't frequent the site at all, do they have any kind of "Comedy Goldmine" equivalent? It's 90% cash equivalents like "Vanilla Reloads" or whatever. Stories about "card hackers" basically hitting their local CVS/Walmart like crackheads are entertaining, but if you want stories about people trying to be incredibly clever only to get hosed over by minor changes, I'd recommend the Bitcoin thread.

In remembrance of the great 'Shannon wasn't shot she was secretly stabbed' theory/debate from Lost.

I don't frequent the site at all, do they have any kind of "Comedy Goldmine" equivalent? It wasn't a scam, there was nothing illegal about it. The Mint wanted to get dollar coins in circulation, so they were selling them with free shipping and accepting credit cards. So people would use their cashback-bonus credit cards to max out their limits buying coins. Then they'd use the currency they just purchased to pay off the credit cards, and profit to the tune of the cashback bonus amount. It wasn't limited to Fatwallet. And it could also work with cards that award air miles for purchases, except now instead of the cashback bonus you're getting free trips. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/07/13/137795995/how-frequent-fliers-exploit-a-government-program-to-get-free-trips http://www.businessinsider.com/us-mint-ends-the-dollar-coin-scam-for-airline-miles-2011-7

Thanks for saying what I couldn't figure out how to say. This episode was kind of a weak one for me, I appreciate the difficulty of the shot but it just wasn't that funny. Trick stool and Frank were the best parts, but overall this is probably in the bottom 5 for me, especially for rewatchability.

Just watched the new episode, and I love it. They're really ramping up the insanity lately, but it makes sense because the characters have grown more like themselves over the past several years. Dennis, Dee, and Mac are all going crazy because they're getting older and battling the realization that they're not the cool people they thought they were, while Charlie's becoming a master of his own very specific domain (burning trash, slaying rats, and scamming the health department). Frank doesn't give a gently caress about anything and just wallows in the depravity.

Managed to get caught up on these two episode on my DVR this weekend, Love Charlie Work, but Psycho Pete left me "eh." I loved Dennis's taxes rant, and his "You didn't think of the smell...you BITCH" explosion, but other than that it felt like it kept building to a payoff that never happened. After they sent Psycho Pete away on the train, I was honestly expecting The Gang to be reading the paper in the bar the next day and see an article about a bunch of people on a train to LA that got murdered and eaten, with an exchange similar to this happening: Dee: I thought he said that story was made-up and he was in the loony bin for depression! Dennis: No, that was made up...yeah, he totally ate his family. Mac: Now that you mention it, I do remember reading about it in the paper. Charlie: Yeah, it was on all over the news, I don't know how we forgot that. Psycho Pete, man...freight train... Frank: Ok, but here's what I wanna know...what the Hell happened to Froggy?!

This is a few pages back but people were talking about The Gang Gets Trapped and there's one line from it that I die laughing at every time and I think sums up the entire series. "Everybody's on the gas, nobody's on the brakes."

That Psycho episode felt like it was made by gluing together spare ideas, on a tight schedule. The plot lines didn't interact with each other, and lots of the dialogue felt heavy handed and unfinished / not incorporated into the scene. Specifically exchanges between Dennis and Dee were very basic and schematic, plus quite poorly presented, as if only hastily rehearsed. Still, this is a great season so far.

Between that and Dennis gravitating more and more towards sociopathy, and Dee realizing more and more that her dreams and aspirations are worthless, the show really does have amazing continuity. The only real constants are Mac and Charlie I think. The two rocks of Paddy's.

I would say they're declining all the same. Charlie has been getting more violent, spiteful, and egotistical as time goes on and Mac is being forced to face his repressed urges/feelings more and more frequently

Being repressed doesn't hurt others, and unlike Charlie he doesn't tend to sacrifice people in selfish schemes. I mean, even in the grocery store robbery episode Mac was the only person whose fantasy didn't involve murdering / letting die a friend.
