Hold on, I wasn't aware that The Gang Gets Stranded in the Woods was even in the discussion for "worst episode". It's wonderful.

Psycho Pete Returns has some good moments. but All the parts with Psycho Pete are kind of lame and the ending sucks. The parts where Dennis gets diagnosed and Frank goes to the nit-wit farm are pretty good.

Who Pooped The Bed is a great episode, upper-tier Sunny. I think opinions on this may hinge on how comfortable/uncomfortable you are with poop. It's not like it's a whole bunch of poop jokes. It's not about the poop. It's about the mystery....around the poop...

The High School Reunion eps are great and should not be on a 'worst-of' list.

Frank's Brother is basically the answer here, as many have said. Psycho Pete Returns was a pretty bad ep but it does have them singing along to 'Psycho Killer' by Talking Heads and that part is hilarious. Anytime the gang sings is great (I can't hear Motownphilly anymore without hearing 'MY FRIEND EXPLODED, MY FRIEND EXPLODED')

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Psycho Killer and Dennis being diagnosed were worth the price of admission, Frank's Brother is probably the winner because of how widely despised it is.

As with "Mac and Dennis: Manhunters," "Who Pooped the Bed" has really grown on me with subsequent rewatches. The High School Reunion ones are great because we get to see Dennis slide a few more feet down that long, slippery rope towards utter insanity, and also, the gang's bitchin' dance routine at the end.

Frank's Brother just sucks, and I'd forgotten about Psycho Pete until it was brought up. That episode wasn't funny at all, and was really just sad.

It really is a testament to this show that the episodes that some people think are the shittiest are the ones that others think are the best.

Bring it in, everyone.

This episode sucks for me because I love the "trying to make Sex and the City happen" subplot, but the actual bed pooping part I could do without.

The poop dissection scene is brilliant.

Scientist: Whoever it was seems to have been eating newspaper.
Dennis: Alright, well now we’re getting somewhere. Which one of you idiots was eating a goddamn newspaper?
Charlie: It’s gonna go both ways, dude.
Dennis: Really?
Charlie: Sorry. Yeah. What else?
Scientist: This appears to be a piece of a credit card.
Frank: Inconclusive.
Dennis: How is that not specific to one of you?
Charlie: I wish it was, man. But that’s inconclusive.
Scientist: Oh boy. There’s a good deal of blood in this stool.
Charlie: Of course there is.
Scientist: Whoever’s it is should see a doctor.
Charlie: Well, don’t give us judgements. Just tell us what’s in there.
Scientist: Is this wolf hair?
Frank: Also inconclusive.
Dennis: Jesus Christ!
Charlie: Dude, there is so much wolf hair in our apartment.
Dennis: But why are you eating it?
Charlie: It gets in everything!
Mac: Both of you are eating wolf!?
Frank: We had a wolf in our apartment.
Charlie: Have you tried it before!?

I'll always go to bat for Who Pooped the Bed because I usually don't really find any bathroom humor funny. But everything around the poop in that episode is so hilarious that I really don't care when they want to throw in a few obvious gross-out jokes. The gang bouncing between chaotic bickering and total commitment to a bit like solving a mystery is quintessential Sunny.

fake edit: ^^ the poop dissection scene is a great example, I think the parts of the joke about sticking your fingers in poop and how gross that is and how the scientist secretly just wants to do it is kind of dumb. But the best joke in there is about how insane Charlie and Frank are and I don't know how you can't love that stuff.

Pooping the bed has some great scenes, but the overall premise is really crass and out of place in the series.

Poop doesn't seem that out of place in a show with eps dedicated to buckets of blood, creampies, "niggers hanging from rafters", banging pre-op trannies, etc. But maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Yeah, Who Pooped The Bed is really not that out of place overall with the show's history. And honestly, I thought the whole 'creampie' storyline from last season was far more flimsy and weak of a premise/episode, and was probably the second-worst ep of the season (after Psycho Pete). It was a one-note joke that wasn't that funny or creative.

I hope it will be better than David Hornsby's "unsupervised" which was watchable but kind of 'meh', which also featured Kaitlin and pretty much the entire cast of sunny in various minor roles.

I love poop jokes ("'cuz poop is funny!") and the episode has some great lines, but the last 5ish minutes are so cringeworthy and terrible. It's really Artemis and her stupid explanation (cricket matching poop samples etc) that kills it.

If it's just between Frank's Brother and Psycho Pete, both the episodes had much younger versions of Frank, with the version in Frank's Brother being Devito in a wig and the version in Psycho Pete was an actual little kid. Between the two episodes, Frank's Brother is better because of this.

"How old are you boy?"
DeVito in a wig: "Nineteen!"
"poo poo, you don't look a day over twelve."

Frank's brother owns and I never got the hatred this episode gets, I mentioned this before but I don't know how people can dislike that episode so much and say nothing about 'Gun Fever'. As for Psycho Pete Returns, it wasn't a good episode, for me mostly because it just felt like the gang were beating on a dead horse, they ruined this guys' life and now they just keep being assholes to him as he offers no resistance whatsoever, the gang are usually giant assholes of course but most of the time they're either being assholes to people who screw them over in return or deserve it on some level. I don't think their treatment of psycho pete was out of character or anything it just wasn't pleasent to watch.

Yeah I can't believe this hasn't come up until now, 'The Gang Spies Like US' is so, so, so much worse than Psycho Pete or Frank's Brother. At least those other episodes have some great parts to it (Frank being the frog boy, Shady Nastys) whereas Spies Like Us revolves around one joke that isn't funny to start with. I'm just hoping people have wiped it from their memories. It's probably the only episode of the show I'd consider to be legitimately bad.

I remember when Dennis Gets Married was the old bogey episode, it didn't start the season off well. But when paired with the next episode, it's pretty fun.

Spies Like US at least had some good physical comedy from Dee, but otherwise yeah it's a one-note joke that gets old quick.

Chiming in on one more great Who Pooped the Bed moment: the conversation the guys have with the scientist. I've watched that scene four times in a row to watch each character's reactions and facial expressions and laughed at it all four times. Same with the following scene others mentioned where the college kid is dissecting it. That's a good episode! Personally I always find myself skipping Storm of the Century on rewatches.

BTW any updates on Season 10 coming to Netflix in the US? I can't wait to rewatch Charlie Work again. I rewatched the last two episodes of Season 10 in reruns on Comedy Central and, in true Sunny form, they're just as funny, if not funnier, on rewatch.

Kind of a rarity in that there is direct continuation of a storyline from one episode to the next. That hasn't happened much throughout the history of the show.

Weird, I've always counted Dennis Gets Married among the very finest episodes in the entire series. Frank and Charlie getting married is a comedic masterstroke. Maureen's cat sweaters, Dennis trying to remember what feeling is. That's some good stuff!
