I loved this episode, best of the season for me. My favorite moments are when the gang is just hanging out at the bar and bullshitting, and this episode was basically that without the bar. Dennis doing the OY OY OY OY to bring Charlie to heel and then Charlie's reaction immediately after loving killed me. They do it a few more times throughout the episode for various other reasons too

No, for season 12 the part of Frank will be played by Vin Diesel.

Was anyone else hoping that they were going to spend the whole episode pointing out each others' flaws and making actual confessions?

I thought she was just sitting in the back through "dinner" because she had just announced that she was done with the gang.

That's how I read it too. It was really perfect that she couldn't help but drag herself back into their game, and does so with the blender gag (which was really funny). Kaitlin plays the "tag-along sister" type really well, and that moment really fit her character nicely.

There's a moment in S02 (I think, don't remember the particular episode) where Dennis insists the gang has always been him, Mac, and Charlie. Dee protests that she's a part of the gang too, and Frank in a parental tone says "Dennis, let your sister be a part of the gang!" You really got the sense that Dee has desperately wanted to be included in their shenanigans, but has been shunned her whole life.

I've been a tag-along my whole life, so I really appreciate how well they play it in the show.

Yall got the order of events wrong. Dee declared she was done, but sidled back in for some racist impressions. Then cut to the dinner scene. They obviously threw her back out.

You're absolutely right. I just popped out back up on my DVR, and she does quit the gang before she's dragged back in when people want to hear impressions.

For what purpose would Dee have been dragged in? They nearly drowned due to her backsass and lack of grace.

That might be my favorite episode of the season. Dee's Obama impression, the imaginary dinner, oyoyoy-ing at Charlie, fighting each other on their way out of the water, there was so much good stuff. While watching it & enjoying it, when they started doing that thing you see in sitcoms sometimes where somehow all the characters start playing soem really cool beat on a bunch of ordinary objects and I was kind of groaning since I've seen it before so many times. The gang immediately talking about how lame it was and how they'll never do it again was great.

I loved that Charlie would be the one who has a problem with undercooked (imaginary) chicken.

And Mac is a terrible cook. He could make anything imaginable and what he comes up with is boiled chicken, brown rice, no butter, no sides and blue kool aid. But yeah, he's the guy who settled on eating kraft mac&cheese for a whole month.

Mass quantities of chicken with brown rice are staples of packing on lean mass. I enjoyed this joke because, as long as it is imaginary, Mac eats like a bodybuilder and imposes it on the rest of the gang. He would never eat that way for real though, as season 7 proved.

I love how quickly the gang are willing to abuse any scrap of power they get their hands on. The flare gun was basically the punchline of 11 seasons of the gang pulling Machiavellian schemes on each other.

The whole episode was a pretty good riff on the Sartre play 'No Exit' (except for the lack of sexual tension).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Exit

quote:

The play is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity. It is the source of Sartre's especially famous and often misinterpreted quotation "L'enfer, c'est les autres" or "Hell is other people",[2] a reference to Sartre's ideas about the look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object in the world of another consciousness.

Now I haven't read it in a decade+ but I think I remember one of the characters trying to 'escape' by slitting their wrists, only to find they wake back up in the same room.

Parodies

Talk Show From Hell, a modern parody by Jean-Noel Fenwick, was produced by the Open Fist Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, in 2000.[7]

On Doorway to Hell, a parody of anthology television shows that ran on Second City Television, host Lin Yee Tang Dave Thomas introduced a story called Man in a Box, only to ruin the story in his monologue by revealing that the box is in fact Hell itself.

In episode "Stewie B. Goode" from American television show Family Guy, Stewie Griffin gets sent to hell in what seems to be a dream after being knocked unconscious. This inspires him to change his attitude on life. In hell, he walks into a fancy hotel room, and questions if that is what hell is really like. This seems to be a reference to No Exit.

In Season 11 Episode 10 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia entitled "The Gang Goes To Hell: Part II", the gang is locked in the "boat jail" of a religious themed Christian cruise ship after committing various sins throughout the previous episode. The episode borrows directly from No Exit including when they all try to no speak to each other and when Charlie thinks they're already dead and shoots himself in the head with a flare gun. It should be clarified however that Dennis's thing wasn't rape.
