I was expecting that it was going to be Dennis pulling the strings at the end. But that was way better.

Hahaha holy poo poo Dennis actually trying to do the loving D.E.N.N.I.S system on his sister, more specifically that speech at the plane was very reminiscent of his Inspire Hope speech from when he was D.E.N.N.I.S-ing the pharmacist.

That is the cruelest episode of television I have ever seen.

Which for this show is fantastic.

I consider Sunny to be very similar to Seinfeld in many ways, a spiritual successor of sorts, and I guess it's no surprise that Seinfeld is my favorite show and Sunny is close behind.

But yeah, in terms of pure 20-minute episodes, Seinfeld had 180 and Sunny will hit 100 midway through this season. Seinfeld hit that milestone midway through Season 6, before Larry David even left and it was still dishing out some of the best episodes like The Race.

Sunny has a comparatively smaller but just as memorable set of regulars that make up fictional Philly, but their devotion to the lore of their own show is right up there with Seinfeld.

I'm definitely reaching, but I thought it was a nice touch to include Albuquerque in the flight path shot. Still, when you see a Homeland homage in episode 7 you will know where you heard it first

If anything it felt like a South Park take on a contentious issue showing both extreme positions are pretty moronic.

I will never not love Frank's money-making schemes. Its such a great touch that he's this incredible businessman who gets richer every year despite living and acting like a hobo.


Except that's exactly what happens in real life. We only roll our eyes because people on tv aren't supposed to be as stupid as the people next door.

I just don't understand why people sometimes prefer The League over Sunny, or even liking it at all.

Why are we supposed to hate Andre so much, with Dee she's still a horrible person, but Andre just...had bad taste in clothes and doesn't understand certain sexual innuendos? I'll admit I don't know a thing about football but most of the scenes regarding the fantasy football is just setups for bits when they have to do X to get player Y. Or when a famous footballer is on but then it's incredibly obvious because they can't act or be a comedian.

When they hate Dee she's still a horrible person and the gang is even worse themselves. But the League is generally just average joes with some quirks of either being 'dumb' or having a convenient germaphobia in that it only surfaces for episodes that have jokes on it or callbacks.

Rafi and Dirty Randy are awesome though, but criminally underused and just basically Jason cutting lose as himself, only even more hyper.

Yeah I'm not forced to watch it and of course this just my taste and opinion, but I just don't get how it gets so much traction on SA. It feels like something for a 2 and a half men/Big Bang Theory crowd.

Is anyone else with DirecTV having trouble getting FXX now? The first two weeks of Always Sunny/League recorded fine, but not last night's episodes. It's telling me I don't subscribe, which is weird since everything else is working.

Seinfeld only won Best Comedy once in its run, that made me swear off Emmys forever. Frasier is funny but no way is it 5-years-in-a-row above Seinfeld funny.

30 Rock won its first 3 seasons which I think are the best ones anyway (at least 1 and 2) after that it trails off. Never seen Modern Family.

Amazingly Arrested Development DID win an Emmy. But generally Glenn is right, it seems you have to be a part of the Hollywood/TV industry in the way that the gang isn't to win these awards. At least it wins all the Emmys in our hearts.

(Disclaimer: I've never watched the Emmys anyway)

"I have a bleached rear end in a top hat."

I always thought a great episode concept would be a one-off that focuses almost entirely on the side characters, with the Gang either off-screen or only seen briefly in cameo.

Working title: "Cricket's Revenge"

I think the part where Dennis gets upset that they're answering his questions is a callback to a previous episode this season where Dennis was doing that to someone. But I forget who... does anyone else remember this?

Oh. My. God.

I love weddings... THEY'RE ALWAYS SUCH A BLAAAAAAAAST!

This was a fun episode. I enjoy pretty much every time the Gang puts on a party--with the Waitress's bachelorette party being my favorite.

What's this thread's thought on how the season went? I'd say it was altogether a little disappointing, and probably the most uneven season they've had. At least three clunkers and probably no episodes I'd consider classics (but I plan to watch again and hope I'm wrong; The Gang Breaks Dee has a fantastic reveal, for instance).

I really hate the dayman episode and song just because people circlejerk over it like it's the funniest thing ever and any time IASIP is mentioned some nerd has to be that guy and sing it.

Advice posted:

Did IASIP start the whole greenman/morph suit thing or did Charlie take it from an existing meme? I never know whether someone wearing it at a party or sports game is referencing the show.

Attention Horse posted:

Just started watching this show last week, it's so loving awesome. 4th season just absolutely killed me, and everything Charlie says and does is pure gold. Are the later seasons still awesome, or is there a decline in quality?

FadingChord posted:

I'm not wild about Fight Milk, but Mac's storyline is otherwise pretty good. I love how quickly Dee and Dennis turn on him and while the whole "getting off" joke doesn't really pay off the way it should, Mac and Dennis arguing about whether or not they're going to bang the caddy is probably the highlight of the episode.

Well, that and Frank fixing the printer.

Pomp posted:

I'm kind of afraid to ask, but are there people out there that think the waitress is a bitch because she won't date Charlie and/or think Dennis is not creepy?

I just started watching this show a little while ago, a clip on youtube convinced me to give it a shot. I'm on season 1 episode 6. I know sometimes long time fans like the novelty of a fresh set of eyes, would anyone be interested in reading my thoughts on the show?

I'm sick as a dog so I'm not doing much else but watch it.

I don't know, everyone on TV looks tall. My friend specifically said the internet was full of poo poo and he was no way as tall as it said.

Shbobdb posted:

It is important that Charlie have been molested because it further positions him as the anti-Dennis. They are both Frank's son and both are as disgusting an individual as Frank but how they are disgusting is orthogonal. Dennis victimizes women, so to maintain the funhouse mirror Charlie is a victim of sexual violence.

See, that's humor right there! Situational irony, man.

Drifter posted:

You can't really have a straight man here because everyone else is literally evil, be it by design or ineptitude of the character, and by association the straight man would become evil as well.

You could only have maybe two episodes where a straight man would be able to go "Awww, man you want to rape that guy girl/murder that guy/emotionally abuse that person, Dennis? Ha ha, oh man, that's crazy, man, don't do it. Let's grab some coffee instead."
