    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an amazing sitcom built off some basic, core elements and the season 7 episode "Chardee MacDennis" may just use those elements better than any other. In this video I go over what makes the episode work so well, and why using Frank as an audience surrogate character works better than expected.

    My favorite episode (not the best) is Reynolds vs Reynolds: The Cereal Defense*. The sheer amount of references generated and the creativity in that dialogue does not have rival. The fact that they spend hours yelling at each other and arguing to solve their problems just encompasses the Gang’s mystique. Mac’s Evolution speech is one of the best scenes of the show

    • @oplus7054
      @oplus7054 2 года назад +196

      The plot coming to a complete halt for Mac’s over the top reasoning for why evolution isn’t real is incredible. The premise of the episode is creative yet wacky, only for the argument over cereal and driving accidents to shift to why evolution is bullshit. Macs delivery as well as the bell sound effect every time he calls a scientist a bitch is the probably my favorite joke in the show

      And it's not only consisten on the personalities of the characters, also the quality of the show itself hasn't changed a lot imo (this in a good way), but I'd say of all the main characters Dennis has been slowly changin from a narcissistic jerk to a more psychopath profile, still I think he has been both from the beginning.

      Have you seen the bloopers of Ryan McPoyle? He cracks the cast up with manic performances of "you will call her!", "then start breaking bricks, wet nips" and "he's dead to me ... deeeaaad!" Just incredible. Watched them multiple times. Jimmi Simpson excels at weird characters.

      I prefer the earlier seasons overall personally, as they were more believable as characters then. It's still good in later seasons, but for me there's a pre Fat Mac, and post Fat Mac tonal shift.
      They really became caricatures of themselves as it went on. But flanderization and long running shows go hand in hand unfortunately.

    Probably my favourite episode is one that simply does not get enough praise at all; Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom. I felt this episode was a clear example of them catching lightning in a bottle very early. An extravagantly laid out revenge storyline where you have all the cast in their prime; Mac being co-dependent and desperate over a one-night stand where he is as usual being used, Dennis' vanity and aggressive pursuit of preventing rejection at an all time high, Dee ruining a person's life so that she can escape from her own problems, and Frank wallowing in a mid-life crisis with insane consequences. And of course, Charlie at the root of it all by using his undying love of the Waitress to toy with everyone into a plan that seemingly can work but will inevitably backfire on him.
    I'm not going to go into long detail for those who don't remember this episode much, but I'd highly recommend people revisit this one and see Sunny at its peak of unsettling comedy with a hilariously dark conclusion that wraps all _five_ individual character's storylines together, with a beautiful culmination of how these people will always just constantly ruin each other before being able to ruin anyone else.

    *The Gang Hits The Road* is the best episode.
    Joke-per-minute is up there with any episode, but most importantly;
    It stands as a perfect allegory for the entire show.
    A group of highly expectant self-serving egotists attempt a road trip, but don’t make it beyond the very bar they started at. It’s poetry.

    It's got Dees flailing arm dance, Charlie finding magical treasure and the horse massacre, Dennis's implication.
    Just overall perfect. The opener as well when the sales mans like
    "A P Diddy style shrimping vessel" I'm laughing just thinking about it.

    My favorite episode is The Gang Hits the Road. Something about a road trip with your friends is really enticing, and it always gets me excited to watch, and it has that classic Always Sunny ending where it doesn't work out. I also have a very vivid memory of the first time I watched The Gang Buys a Boat, because I said "That boat is going to be destroyed by the end", and like a prophecy come to life, there it was, on fire and sinking, in a way perfectly picturesque for that show.

  • @ihatemickiegee
    @ihatemickiegee Год назад +1

    one of the MANY reasons this is in my top 5 fav episodes is one of the rarities of it: dennis and dee actually acting like a tight brother and sister. sure, still bringing out the worst in each other, but ACTUALLY doing it TOGETHER. we never get to see them doing anything but destroying each other or bullying the other, and yes even when they do that they still essentially do it TOGETHER so we know they still do have some kind of value in their sibling relationship, but.. in chardee macdennis, we actually get some payoff for how well they know each other, under what circumstances they can be good teammates, and so on. and they still manage to do all this while not looking like they're doing it at all, because they're still bullying each other and being horrible people throughout!
    as you stated, their lack of development across the series' run is what makes it as good as it is. it's the only thing it shares with bad or good-but-burnt-out sitcoms that makes it better and better rather than causing it to fail.
