Doesn't he tell Dee to tell Frank?

Charlie: Okay, here's the plan. Give this to Frank. Tell him G-sharp. Then you got to paint him head to toe in black.
Dee: Why would I do any of that?
Charlie: Dee, just do it, okay? Just do it, you goddamn bitch.

Heeeeeey


The best part of that episode, for me, was the payoff with the stool. He spends the whole episode just seemingly randomly banging the stool on the ground and then Dee sits on it.

I hope that Charlie ended up getting credit for it, after a lengthy arbitration process of course.

I just rewatched the comedy tour episode and watching Dennis' reaction to it all being a setup was hilarious. He can not handle other people in control

The part where Dennis takes the Desert Trash girl down to the plane's storage area to bang, she says "You're weird" and he replies "You have no idea."

Dennis is teetering on the edge of reveling in being Fringe class just like Frank, but is still in denial about who he really is. He just needs a little push, then he can start getting real weird with it.

the fact that he films every woman he's ever had sex with and keeps the VHS and orders them by a 5 star ranking system, and that the rest of the gang knows about it and is just kind of "whatever" about it has got to be one of the longest running plot points. it came up in mac bangs the waitress and the dennis system and thundergun and probably more and the rest of the gang is indifferent to it at worst.

of course mac and frank are 100% complicit in his methods because they get to swim in his wake, so it's not like they have room to judge.

edit: oh my god and it ruined the scheme of the dinner for schmucks rich boy because he and mac were oiling each other down in dennis' room. that was amazing.

The camera pans across the bodies of the gang, slaughtered in the bar by the dozens of people they've hosed over in the last decade and a half. Frank's head leans up slightly and he takes a bite from a sausage in his shirt pocket. Credits roll.

I love all the side comments that happen sometimes. In Chardee MacDennis they talk about emotionally battering Dee and they say "Yeah, I think she tried to kill herself." "She did, I saw it." Then in Charlie Work they say "Dennis did you do that?" "Yeah I think I did do that." "I think I remember that." And in the gang broke Dee, Dennis freaks out about not being in the plan and storms out and Mac says "He might go kill himself."

Edit: Are there any bad episodes of this show? With some shows, there are episodes that I just won't go back and watch because I don't like them. I'll go through a show and watch my favorites, then start getting into some that are ok and then I'll get desperate and watch some mildly bad ones. But there's always a few that I just won't watch. I don't know if Always Sunny has that. I've been going through on Netflix and haven't found any I didn't like. There were some that I was hesitant to watch because the description was bad. I watch them and realize they are hilarious. Season 1 isn't as strong but I don't think any of them are so bad they are unwatchable.

I also just realized that in season 5, Dee arranges to be a surrogate mother but that doesn't actually happen til Season 6. That explains why I didn't remember her talking about it just like the gang.

I think the characters in this show are strong enough that even in an episode with a weak premise, you can have great character moments which redeem the episode. Like The Great Recession is pretty non-memorable, I don't think it would ever show up on a top ten list for this show, but it has Frank trying to hang himself so it kind of evens out.

The great recession has Paddy's Dollars and the entire bit where Dennis forgets he actually came up with the plan, and Frank's second suicide attempt after cutting his thumb is incredible. Also "You're lucky I'm a resilient man!- you tried killing yourself twice today", "we're crab people now".

Sounds pretty memorable to me but otoh I'm obsessed with this show so, whatever.

But that's precisely what I mean- every episode that someone can bring up as an example of a bad episode is filled with great moments like that.

I cannot abide having the episode in which the following exchange takes place be described as 'not great'

quote:

Dennis: Break down what I'm holding in my hand, right now.
Mac: Uh, that is a Dave & Busters power card.
Dennis: Yeah. Now - does your Dave & Busters card work at any other similar establishments, like say a TGI Fridays?
Mac: Mine does not. Believe me, I have tried. Several locations.
Dennis: Yeah, because if you recall I've actually been with you on many of those occasions where you tried
Mac: Right. I don't think I've tried it enough.
Dennis: I think you have, because clearly at this point you should have realized that it doesn't work anywhere else.
Mac: There's one out in Franklin Mills I haven't tried, I feel like it might work.

It's also the episode that has Uncle Jack reminiscing with Charlie about their 'wrestling'. It's a top tier episode imo.

I think the hardest I've laughed at a line/conversation during a first viewing was Dennis's speech about getting off in that mistaken identity one and Dee just quietly is like "I don't know...". They already got off to a good start with "boom I got your wallet" and follow up with that, Dennis when he gets into full creep mode is hilarious.

There's an interesting dynamic in Mac and Dennis Break Up. Dennis can only function with support from Mac. He completely shuts down and doesn't know how to live without Mac there.

See, I was trying to pull an episode that was unmemorable, I knew that it was the Dave and Buster's episode and it had the "we're crab people" line, but I completely forgot about these moments and "I feel like that's wrong, but I don't know enough about stars to dispute it." It's fantastic, I can't pick any episode as better than any other because I love them all too much.

Charlie says that if he had to share a room with Uncle Jack, he'd have to stay up all night like when he tried to share the room as kids. Uncle Jack is the Nightman theory smoking gun.

EDIT: Holy poo poo, that ending.
Dennis: Uhhhhh, you guys don't think you're going to Dave and Busters, do you?

There are a few episodes I remember not liking, but maybe people here can remind me of the good parts. I remember being really bored by Frank's Brother and Charlie's Mom Has Cancer. And I felt like rear end Kickers United didn't fit with the rest of the series, tonally.

It shows up again in "The Gang Dines out". It's been implied in a couple of episodes that Mac and Dennis are basically dating.

I also generally disliked rear end Kickers, it was really a bit of a mess of an episode with too many unfunny stretches, dunno what's up with that one.
