That was probably my favorite episode of the podcast so far. Very dense with fascinating insights and old stories. Good poo poo.

The Always Sunny Podcast is a podcast that I did not know I needed until I started listening to it. Just great. Way better than I had imagined when I first heard about it a few months back. Just got through watching 'The Nightman Cometh' on a current rewatch. Am I the only one who finds this episode to be terribly overrated?

It absolutely did not shock me even for a moment that they were actually, literally just waterboarding Dee in the toilet. She looked so hosed up and sounded so desperate, such a great talent. Podcast is giving me newfound respect for just how funny Kaitlin really is

I didn't say that I dislike the episode....persay. I just don't get why it's as highly regarded as it is. Basically....child molestation is every other joke. A little too 'blue' for my tastes.

Mac getting laughed at throughout the show as he acts like a ninja cat....even though he was going for "gasps" specifically. But the running joke throughout the episode is that the entire play is an innuendo on child molestation. I just didn't find it to be all that good of a bit. Nothing really clever about it.

i laughed at and smiled at the episode where they sing about charlie's hole getting filled. charlie accidentally wrote a play about himself getting molested and pimped out by his own mother, and all of his arrogant piece of poo poo friends see it and go "oh poo poo, how can I use this to enrich myself." further, charlie is also an arrogant piece of poo poo, and the musical is merely another futile way to try and win the waitress' heart. to add an extra layer of Comedia to the mix, everyone is only the way they are because their upbringings were terrible (see above), disgusting, nightmarish settings for children to experience. i thought it was funnier than the first time they tackled child molestation (Charlie Gets Molested), but less funny than the other time they tackled child molestation (Frank Reynolds' Little Beauties), and generally a little worse than when they briefly touch upon child molestation for the lols (Sweet Dee's Dating a Redacted Person, The Great Recession, idk probably every other episode Andrew Friedman is in)

Charlie leading everyone on into thinking the play is a sincere expression of his trauma that he just wants to use to try and explain to the world why he is how he is before revealing no he just thought it was a surefire way to get the waitress to marry him is a brilliant joke

Man Kaitlin Olson is such a professional. It takes a special person to stick with a job where they literally got waterboarded. Also what the gently caress, guys!?

Jumped back in and nixed the reason I dropped it right away- which was the awkwardness of the new studio and ad format. I checked the latest vids and it flows much more naturally now imo, good on them for being genuinely willing to listen to feedback and solve them. The podcast is like so much better than after they'd just changed studios, it really was just growing pains. I dunno just felt like throwing some positivity in. Pod's still cool.

Yea the podcast has had some ups and downs, but overall it's been great and I've not missed an episode. I do think the ads are a bit weird and kind of forced. Which really I don't get, they could most likely make more money just running a Patreon or something with some bonus content then they are getting promoting the same garbage companies that try to advertise on every YouTube channel.

On the other hand, as long as they are basically re-using old ad reads, it's an easy marker to skip that bit and get back to the show, on platforms that allow that edit: if they were new ad reads, I would listen to them. damnit.

Yeah when it comes to the ads themselves, not to re-litigate that  , these four are really funny together and I don't care if they yuk it up about some high end socks I'm not gonna buy as long as they did do their research like they said they would, which now it seems they do I hope. They've just got a chance there for new improv is all, even though I know the company has demands when it comes to that stuff.

I don't mind the ads (they are easy enough to skip) but the ones where they actually watch the episode are pretty bad. There's too much silence while they watch, and since I'm not watching the video version but rather listening in my car, I tend to skip those ones.

They could also just not do ads in the first place because they're all multimillionaires already but whatever, they're easy enough to skip. Podcast is definitely better than it was when they got the bespoke studio.

At best all they show in the video version is a still image of the episode. Pretty sure, even thought hey are the creators, they don't actually have the rights to air clips from their show on YouTube  . Also why the audio is usually bad for the clips...

It's stuck in this halfway gray area where it's almost a rifftrax/commentary, but also it isn't. So you can't watch along with them, you still have to watch the episode ahead of time, and then sit through them watching several minutes of it while trying to remember what happened based on the audio they play. They either need to fully commit to a commentary track, or just watch the ep ahead of time and then talk about aspects of it.

I don’t think there’s any problem with them watching 10 second clips and commentating after. I also don’t think its unusual in anyway. And I don’t think that absolutely necessitates that they do a full episode commentary.

Initially I thought them livewatching the episode was a great idea because it would help keep them talking about the actual show for at least that 22 minutes and would help everyone there remember things instead of coming in with loose notes on their phone or whatever. But then they hosed it up by having the show audio be so low and bad I couldn't even understand it, so now half of that episode is just a garbled mess with the gang Chuckling Reasonably in the background and I still have to wait for them to pause and actually discuss things to get anything out of it

The better podcasters can do these spots and keep them interesting enough that they don't even feel like an advertisement. Back in the day when 'Hollywood Handbook' had an ads-free version for 'Stitcher Premium' subscribers, people would seek out the ads version to hear the ad-scenes they'd do.

If they actually talk about the tv episode that week it’s basically just a bonus.
