On the topic of Dennis' sociopathy, has anyone got that interview with Glenn Howerton where they do a bit of roleplay, once with Dennis having killed someone and once not? The difference between the two is at once subtle and ntense, it's amazing. I've been looking for it everywhere

Mac and Charlie both seem like people who are dumb as rocks more than they're evil. All the stuff from their childhood makes them seem like they were way less toxic before Dennis, Dee and Frank came into the picture.

Yeah, they're both kind of naive and sweet in their own way despite being awful people (well, Charlie anyway).

The Reynolds are definitely flat out sociopaths though

They're insanely ritualistic and habitual. They haven't changed or grown in decades, breaking the rules of their adolescent bullshit might mean said bullshit would have to change or stop

The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell is and will always be one of my favorite episodes ever.

“The year was 1492.....”

When I first went to watch it I turned it off a few minutes in because it felt really gimmicky.

Then I ran out of Sunny to watch so I watched it and it was brilliant.

This also happened with the Christmas special

imo the season has been decent-to-good so far, but this really felt like an old school circa fat mac episode. it had by far the most heh-out-loud moments for me so far

banter, that big paper stand thing i dont know the name of, dee gagging, eggs from a nest in a hole, the chesty anchor that dennis daydreamed about choking with a pillow, america!, etc. also unlike most other shows, sunny bottle eps are the best. just put them in somewhere and force their interactions imo.

btw during the opening i thought it would be frank on the roof but its way better that he is mistaken for the poor schlub's dad & he just wants in so he can get his reefer + gently caress-melon

I don't think there's anything I wouldn't watch the gang argue about for 20 minutes. They could argue over a hat stand or something and it'd still be amazing

They're so good at accurately acting drunk/high/coked up/tweaking. That's an excellent representation of the poo poo people say and do on lots of speed.

Charlie when he gets so hosed up he needs subtitles, or Dee singing to that hitch hiker kid are also painfully accurate

When you're as deep as Always Sunny that moment passed. At this point I'm all good with make them till they don't want to anymore. This is one of the most consistent shows of all time as far as I'm concerned.

I thought the most recent episode of the podcast kind of gave a glimpse into the dynamic between Glen and Rob that gets amplified in the show to create the Mac and Dennis power duo, like obviously Glen is not Denis but he is also not entirely unlike Dennis, it was very important for him to make sure that "people don't think I'm the kind of person who never eats tasty food" for some reason, this after they discuss for like 3 minutes how he basically starved himself when they were filming season 2 because he was doing some weird 'cleanse' diet, and half the time Rob tries to casually infuriate Glen via annoying mannerisms and playing stupid.

Thought it was interesting, idk.

All their characters are very much exaggerated versions of themselves, it's why it works so well, I think. Like, the gang are pretty cartoonish (they discuss that too in the podcast) but the roots are clearly there. Glenn's fastidious and can be prickly, Charlie's excitable, Rob's clearly the least secure of the three of them, etc.

A lot of the time the podcast feels like a Sunny audio play, especially when they get to yelling over each other. It's really entertaining

Rob seems to be quite insecure but he shouldn't be, he's so loving funny, a lot of the moments that really make me roar with laughter he's involved with

See; no you can't have chips, they just don't get us man, I've had tons of orgasms, etc.
