The way Charlie delivers the "Hoo-ly poo poo. Dennis is Spiderman" makes it. I don't think I acknowledged that line on first viewing, but when I re-watched the episode it made me bust up. And you know, in that moment, that Charlie believed it.


Dennis referring to them as "The boys to the men" is where I lost it.

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:

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.

I've been rewatching all of Sunny again and the change of tone between season 1 and 2 is amazing. 1 is a lot more meanspirited to me. They also keep ramping everybody up every season, it doesn't just start midway through like I thought. On the one hand, they should probably dial things back a bit (though I think Charlie's illiteracy getting worse and worse as he huffs more and more glue is hilarious), but on the other hand I don't know how long it would have lasted if they didn't keep doing that and some of the best episodes were when they just went to town.

Sunny's pretty great guys.

I think it pays to remember they thought it was a little skeevy for Dennis to be considering having sex with an 18-year-old high school girl and that was 12 years earlier. It's only gotten creepier since then.

It's also important to remember that Dennis is a baby rapist.

I've been playing Talisman on Steam and one character is a troll. You can make characters fight each other and if you win you can take from the loser, among other things, gold.

I've been making people pay the troll toll a lot and almost every time I do someone sings the song. :v:

I played on marathon and most of it involved updates about how Egypt's army got eaten by bears again along with the technology quote whenever I invented pots or something.
