OK, can someone tell me why this episode's lack of accuracy vis-à-vis civil court procedures is such a big deal? I mean, one of the lawyers is an illiterate lunatic who tells anyone who will listen (and anyone who won't) that he's an expert in bird law, which is a thing that I'm pretty sure isn't actually a thing. The other lawyer on that side was wearing fake hands. Obviously fake hands. If you introduce even an ounce of realism into the setting, then the episode ends about three minutes in when the judge throws them all out for making a mockery of the court on account of the bird law and fake hands. Then the gang have to do something else for 17 minutes. I wasn't expecting a realistic court or judge, because... well, nobody would put up with these people acting this way. Honestly, I'm more bothered that The Lawyer stayed in court after the bird attack, with naught but some gauze taped over his probably missing eye. Really, that guy would go to the hospital. And by "more bothered," I'm exaggerating to make a point. It doesn't really bother me at all, because leaving him in there with the gauze over his eye makes the final gag a little easier to pull off. tarlibone fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Feb 18, 2016 |

Everything that happened in this episode made sense in the Sunny universe. Jack wearing the big hands was the culmination of all his small hands stuff. We see that the gang has finally started to break the lawyer. More crazy McPoyle stuff. Pondy was right on the money. Then yet another instance where Charlie is the most competent and incompetent person in the room.

Anyone know which episode the workaholics crew will be in? Assuming that tweet of them at paddy's pub means that.

This season is already a 100 times better than last season which was sorta meh. It's pure fan service but drat is it well played. Had to stop and catch my breath after this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Ew6K0W3RY

speshl guy posted:It's a little disappointing, it seemed like the lawyer was the only character that was immune to, and able to hold his own against, the black hole that is the gang. Seems he's just as broken as everyone else now, and down an eye too. I think they can reinvent him like they did Uncle Jack, who's gone from a pedophile to desperately insecure about his hands for some reason, but I would still say this was the episode's one flaw. It was mitigated by him only losing one eye, though, and he stayed strong basically until then. Plus the Lawyer's still got those strong hands  Jerusalem posted:I loved that Charlie actually did produce a compelling argument backed up by evidence and then just blows it by assuming the ornithologist can talk to birds. They had the cake and ate it. I loved that Charlie went all the way to retain this guy, then immediately shat on him when he couldn't talk to birds.

The lawyer is becoming Frank Grimes, and it's pretty glorious. I like how everyone around the gang becomes poisoned, but in their own different ways.

The lawyer will be framed for murder and the only way to exonerate himself is with the help of a bird law expert

They're definitely ramping up the insanity and have let go of any pretenses of normalcy. I mean the first seasons was about lovely people occasionally getting into absurd situations. Now it's lovely people living in an absurd reality. It's not a bad thing - the show has to evolve. I always figured they would go all-out on the insanity in the last season but I guess they are building up to it. Anyway, good ep.

Sunny has always been as absurd as the jokes and setup required, it's not the most tonally\stylistically consistent show out there. There first season is slightly more grounded in reality but as soon as DeVitto shows fantastically insane poo poo starts happening

That was pretty much the It's Always Sunny all stars episode. Bring in a whole bunch of their awesome returning characters to make a crazy story out of. Also, I really liked the Uncle Jack has fake big hands part. I hope they show how many times they did the hand throw take on the blooper reel, because really, how could they not laugh at that every time?

Spoeank posted:Because lawyers make a career out of going, "well, ACTUALLY..." I thought the entire idea was that The Lawyer lets his hatred of the gang cloud his ability to actually, ya know, practice law. Which is why he failed to win an easy case, the judge was just as tired of his ridiculous, unprofessional bullshit as he was of anyone else there.

I'm not sure he would have. I mean, a normal lawyer, sure. But The Lawyer is no longer normal. He has been tainted by The Gang. They're like a giant baby made out of tar, and The Lawyer is Br'er rabbit desperately fighting against being trapped. But like Cricket, his life will soon be totally enveloped by them.

Whether or not the show is leaning hard into it's fan service, it still remains obscenely funny so I'm happy. A bit that hasn't been mentioned that cracked me up was Mac and Dennis giving the judge a thumbs up after banging his gavel.

I lean towards her never being deaf in the first place, we learn that she's smart and literate and on top of all of that somewhat manipulative, I wouldn't be surprised if she was just feigning being deaf to not do what her brothers want her to. YOU WILL CALL HER.

Uncle Jack screaming when his hand flew off killed me. I hope there's 20 takes of everyone cracking up at that on the blooper reel. The lawyer was one character who I thought would always beat the gang but they drug him down just like everyone else.

He made the appearance that he was beating them, I guess they were wearing him down on the inside. And now they've finally wore him down on the outside.
