Sometimes I wonder how different the show would be if Danny DeVito never joined, or if they used him as a character that only appeared for a couple scenes per episode.

I've gotta say, after two full marathons (almost done my third) of this show I still enjoy the soundtrack; it's always upbeat and relaxing, which contrasts perfectly with the Gang's shenanigans.

I've noticed that Dennis says "idiots" and "savages" much more often after "The Gang Reignites the Rivalry".

It's gotten to the point where they all pretty much hate each other. Dennis and Mac used to be unable to function without each other but now Dennis openly expresses his hatred for the guy. Also openly loathes his sister. Charlie and Frank haven't really been shown together on their own lately but Charlie pretty much hates Mac now too. Makes you wonder what it is that's keeping these people together.

The bar. That's about it.

Heeeeey Dennis.

Edit: Holy poo poo, on my rewatch of the most recent episode, I just noticed Frank was in the basement when Charlie took the inspector down there.

That's exactly what I thought was happening at the end, when he walked in and everybody was just kind of back to normal.

I'll go ahead and be the first to say I didn't really care for this episode. It was neat and different, but I didn't really find it funny, and funny is why I watch the show.

So :boom:

After watching the episode, it reminded me of "Psycho Pete Returns", where it just shows that the gang's perception of everyone else remains constant; Charlie does a lot for the gang, but the gang just attributes everything he does as pointless or they give credit to someone else in the gang.

I really enjoyed seeing Charlie and Dee together, they handle each other's flaws with some light-hearted criticism; I think one of the better scenes in the episode was just Dee and Charlie at the bar, talking before Dennis storms in and starts yelling, because he views everyone else in the gang as trash beneath him and that's what seems to be the source of negative energy in the group. You can actually see Dee's happy, calm demeanor fade in the background as they start cracking jokes about her.

he banged ruby taft and he also in high school banged that girl from Charlie Wants An Abortion

Did we ever get any confirmation that Charlie banged the latter girl? It wouldn't shock me if they show that Charlie doesn't understand where babies come from, which is why he would be so willing to believe her.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:

Does Charlie hating sex and being terrible at it make him and Dee hooking up in The Gang Misses the Boat funnier or sadder or both?

Don't know if you're being rhetorical, but...

In the context of the episode, it's sadder. The gang were all attempting to move on with themselves. They're trying new experiences; Mac, Dee and Charlie were all attempting to get over their normal behaviors that the other members of the gang would put down. The gang itself socializes through depravity and apathy, and each member of the gang had some negative impact on the others that contributed to their broken, recursive behaviors. With Dee, she was harassed by everyone else in the gang, and in the episode, she tried to get over her stage fright, which was encouraged by Dennis and Mac bringing up the fact that she'll choke which reinforces it in her mind. Charlie might have felt bad about all the times he's hosed her over with the gang, and that could be why he didn't mind hooking up with her. In the end, everything's brought back to how it was in the beginning of the episode and he's probably going to hate sex again; it would be helped along by the gang's ragging on Dee and reinforcing her 'gross' image.

But hey, it's just a show. I'd say it's pretty drat funny.

exactly


the old navy one where the blonde lady screams about the pants some random people are wearing and then says in a weird voice "gotta get me those pants"

What gets me is the way she screams and they cut it to make it randomly louder then quieter, and that stupid face she makes at the end of the commercial. Honestly I think I just get agitated whenever 'funny' commercials come on.

Any episode that has Danny DeVito dressed up in style is a top tier one in my book.

I like how Charlie and Frank are the most stable members of the gang now. Well, Frank's obviously losing it, but at least twice this season Charlie's quoted Dennis (the alleged brains of the group) word-for-word without hearing him say those lines; Charlie and Frank are the only members who're honest about themselves, and are content with their lot in life.

I feel like Glenn should be the most successful actor of the group but it's definitely Charlie. Horrible Bosses was bigger than anything the others have done.

fake edit: not counting Danny Devito obviously, but he also hasn't really done anything since the show started.

He's incredibly talented as an actor, if only because it takes a lot of skill to make a rapist somewhat likable; that Lust scene on the cruise ship was some of the creepiest poo poo I'd seen in years.

I like how Dennis really did peak seasons ago. He's been totally off his game since as he decays into a stammering chili-farting mess. Last time he tried to use the DENNIS system he got thrown in boat jail, and he's been a fairly consistent pathetic failure with women for a while now. Mac is about the only person he impresses in the slightest.

At least he had fully consensual and amazing sex with Amanda the game nerd.

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.
