I think I speak for everyone when I say we need more Charlie cold opens 😂
Looks like he speaks for 93 other people...
100%
Agreed, there was something so hilarious about the cut with Charlie there talking to two empty chairs
Pleaeeeeeeease
@@tylermoulton7294found cool guy of the week 🎉
I absolutely love Charlie in a room all by himself having a conversation with two empty chairs
I like how they have a firm start time that they’ll keep to regardless if it’s just one of the guys.
8:45 Glen being worried about Robs form is one of the most Dennis things ever
it's the well-intentioned version of Dennis
Yes! It was too good. I totally thought it was a bit but laughed harder when I realized it was genuine.
Rob's not ALLOWED to have bad form! He's not ALLOWED!
Omg and now rob talking about men’s physiques lmao
He only works his glamour muscles.
I do love the implication that Charlie had to get there, start the cameras and lights, sit down, and just wonder when the others would get there
And fill the waters! That's literally what I was thinking while watching him 😂
The fact that even Megan wasn't there was hilarious because I was 100% expecting her to be
As a wrestling fan, hearing them describe Hulk Hogan’s signature look as having the silken hair of a Chinese woman and the skin of a hotdog cracks me up every time.
One of the funniest things I've EVER HEARD

@@VinnieChase33hat a bozo opinion. They totally went back to the older format from the earlier seasons with these two new episodes, like all the fans have been asking them to, and your still complaining? I didn’t like the second one as much but the “putting frank down like a dog” bit throughout was pretty damn funny. And all the callbacks in the first episode were also good
@@VinnieChase33 hey jabroski it was funny
Glenn being worried about Rob's form while working out was a moment where they seamlessly morphed into their characters
@Ariana Grande Butera LOOK AT ME WEHN YOU'RE TALKING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, they’ll throw punches if your form is off so 🤷🏼♀️
Right after Charlie unironically says “antidote” instead of “anecdote.” Art imitates life imitates art
@@TestyLeafTrue Charlie Day is not smart lol
The zoom out to reveal Charlie is alone absolutely killed me.
charlie is the only one that hasnt missed a single ep of the pod yet,
To be honest, he's the only one out of them that, if he wasn't in the episode, then I can confidently say I wouldn't watch it.
Neither has Barney. Don't forget about Barney!
That's crazy. He's probably the busiest and most famous out of them. Nice that he never forgets who he is
@@HOTD108_ will you settle down and have another cup of coffee.
@@HOTD108_ Barney? Who the hell is Barney?
The story about Da Maniac wanting to do a speech but the driver not knowing to wait for him to do it was so god damn funny and makes that scene EVEN funnier.
Charlies cold open was amazing lmao it felt like he was the last person on earth just going crazy trying to entertain himself
I’d watch Charlie in a movie like that fr
@@Mikehunt-jl7jz a movie where he is the last person on earth getting drunk in a bunker every day.
@@Mikehunt-jl7jzHis actual movie bombed and was hated lol. He spent 10 years of his life on it too..
@@jsmithers.his new movie?
@@biggusdickus6537 Yes Fools Paradise. It was bad and bombed.
The off beat birds of war is what makes it so much better. The shorty drum beat is perfect for three different muscular birdmen
Agree! Like “they can’t even get that right”😂
Exactly. In the newer seasons they would've "fixed it" in post, making it all perfect and produced, and it's simply not as funny as it being kinda off, kinda shitty. I thought that was the point!
I genuinely thought it was intentional.
Exactly, it makes it more authentic. It wouldn't be as funny if they were perfectly in sync.
Yeah, they're literally saying "stomp clap", I thought the timing was just part of the gag about how cool they think they are and it's super cringe.
It would actually be amazing just a podcast of Charlie going insane in a room, with nothing to do.
That would be an amazing sunny episode lol, all the things he would come up with in his crazy mind
fallout3 radio style. starts off with the Musical performed by professionals. devolves to how the dance scene from HighSchool Reunion actually happened. finaly ends with leprechauns sent by Pepe Silvia and only the unholy rat alliance can save him and TheWaitressesMop.
Like that Japanese gameshow. The name escapes me now but a fellow commentator should have the gumption to Google.
They should write an episode with this for next year’s season.
It would be amazing for a few minutes, and then it would be sad
my favourite part is at the beginning when Dennis says how terrible he feels for the soldier to come back from Iraq and "find out he's been chattin with" and then he just points with his finger directly IN Dee's face for a half beat and says "that's no good" and then Charlie says "there's a high suicide rate for those guys, he's gonna be crushed", like they genuinely believe she's doing a terrible thing to the guy 😭
First two episodes of the new season SUUUUCKED!!!!!! 😅 First two episodes of the new season SUUUUCKED!!!!!! 😅
@Repo Man Eight episodes. And Charlies Fools paradise AND Mario bros sucked horseshit.
@Repo Man maybe they’re just rich now and making the show they truly want to make???
Charlie was a natural fit for the Birds of War... he's an expert in Bird Law and he gained valuable experience wrestling Uncle Jack as a child...
He knows what counts as bird war crime and what’s bird friendly match
That was different wrestling that uncles don't do with their nephews. Snugglebunnies is what they played, wrestling was the bait.
"You know.... rolling around"
@@ukiuki3834 gettin’ nuts
@@rorymilsom1491boys will be boys
Easily one of my favorite episodes. Roddy Piper was so great. “As for the $15 copay, you can eat shit and die!" His delivery is up there with the McPoyles as the best.
Da' Maniac: "I love you guys, man. You know, you remind me of my kids."
Dennis: "Oh, you got kids Maniac?"
Da' Maniac: *Looks forlornly into distance* "Naw, not anymore..." *Walks away*
RIP
“WAIT! DA MANIAC LOVES YOU! EVEN WITH YOUR FEATHERS!!”
As a drum player I can honestly say the last song is way funnier that it's off the beat. You kind of fluctuate between being on the beat and off of it, just like I would expect your characters or any goofy amateur to do. You really do it with such energy I think it makes it better that you do it wrong and keep rocking through it.
Yes! It makes the bit so much better.
So much funnier because the crowd is looking at them like WTF is this. It seams like they did practice the some once and said “ok, we’re good to go”. Screwing it up made it funnier.
I totally agree!
+
Yeah I'm surprised they think it's bad that it doesn't line up. It makes sense for the characters.
“They’re not responding to the pageantry AT ALL” such an underrated line lmao
Learning that Da maniac's monolog getting cut short wasn't scripted is so fucking funny
The Maniac screaming on the phone about his $15 copay cracks me up every time!!
😬…not a lot money
As a veteran, Danny saluting Ben really captured the awkwardness of saluting.
OOOOOHHHH BABBAAYYYYY I COMPARE YA TO A KISSS ON THE ROSEE FROM THE GREEEYYYYY
When people tell me "thank you for your service" I like to lean in and whisper "I did it just for you bud"
@@JoMiHoppe I usually say "and thank you for your taxes"
I love that Ben wore his military uniform belt on his jean shorts, excellent little touch by the costume department.
@@JoMiHoppe you have me laughing my ass off in the work breakroom right now 😂
The way they feed off each other. Glenn with giant talk and charlie picking it up no problem "you can hardly slay anyone now"
They're all soulmates
0:47 I can picture Charlie with a smirk on his face, getting there 15 minutes early (knowing that they wouldn’t be there on time), turning on all of the cameras, dialing in the audio, and practicing what he would say.
Can't believe they never mentioned Roddy crashing an interview with Danny back in the 80s. Absolute gold 😂
First two episodes of the new season SUUUUCKED!!!!!! 😅 First two episodes of the new season SUUUUCKED!!!!!! 😅
@@VinnieChase33 stop the cap
@@VinnieChase33 The first 2 episodes of Roddy crashing an interview with Danny sucked?
@@Logan_Baron correct
The cutting to an empty chair is done so well it makes me laugh every time 😂
Same!
What I love about the Maniac's kids scene is that he brings it up so happily knowing it would be asked about, just for it to go dark anyway 🤣
Charlie talking to empty seats is my new favourite show
I always imagined that Ben the soldier didn't actually wear the jean shorts all the time but he intentionally always wore them around the gang because he wanted them to see that he liked them so much
I like the scene in a later season where the gang tried to trigger Bens ptsd but instead Maniac stood up quickly making a guttural noise and stars thrashing the place
I believe that is season 9, and the episode is "Mac and Dennis buy a Time Share."
“Sometimes loud noises make the squirrels go off in Da Maniac’s head, and I don’t fight in the ring no more, but I still fight the demons in Da Maniac’s head…”
@@zambonibob2026 so glad the dialogue lives in our heads rent free
When they burst into his room dressed like terrorists I lost it.
He's a computer programmer. He actually had a good time during the war.
38:29- The wide eyed look of shock on Dee's face after the soldier explains that he only twisted his knee is priceless.
It’s so crazy they mentioned Roddy playing The Wrestler, because he said he watched it and broke down because of how much it reminded him of his own life
The Birds of War entrance is one of my favorite Always Sunny moments. DON'T YOU MESS WITH HIS EGGS NOWWWW!
"They are not responding to the pageantry at ALL."
Them being late and roasting eachother is one of the best parts of the pod.
My favorite part besides the “not anymore” scene is Frank saluting to Kiss from a Rose 😂
I would've watched Charlie all by himself 🤣
Yea minute in I was in
I thought it was going down like that and I was ready. 😄
'You can hardly slay anyone.'
I spit out my drink all over my keyboard at 12:13 when Dennis says something like "if that was like, your signature move" - talking about groin strikes. Just the thought of some fighter dude being KNOWN for holding you down and punching you in the junk is hilarious...

You should get paid my dude
this is charlie work man
I thought this was finally over, how disappointing!
And the most pointless comment series of all time continues
Charlie saying fuck Giants,they have it all literally made me burst out laughing
Artemis has some amazing lines/work in this episode. One of my favorites with her!
and the guys didn't even mention her! Bummer
Purple Rose
Wrestle for the troops was my first episode. I was in the military at the time and my buddy showed me it. It instantly got me and I’ve been a fan ever since.
The Maniac was such a loveable character.
Scary but beloved like that 1 uncle that is super nice but could change gears any second if the conversation went sideways lol
RIP Roddy Pipper
Da Maniac loves you
The last 5 minutes of the episode from the reveal of the Chicken Boys costumes to the end of the episode is the funniest stretch of Sunny and possibly any TV show ever imo
"We used to openly slay giants." Can't wait for next season where Charlie and Frank read about that in history and bring it back in the episode "Frank & Charlie Slay a Giant!"😂
"you can hardly slay anyone!"
Lot of gems in this one, especially this quote
Charlie: I love this seasonnnn.
This season is easily my favorite, I love this season, you can tell how much fun you guys are having. Like you're just enjoying life, feeling free.
The most savage Don Frye moment was against Yoshihiro Takayama in Pride. They grabbed each other by the scruff and pounded each other in the face for a little over 20 seconds. Some people say that fight was staged, if it was they really sold it. Also don't feel bad for the guy getting pounded in the groin, he was sent to jail for r-pe and killed his cell mate, so he absolutely deserved it. He also played Random Task in Austin Powers.
😂❤
Guys were so juiced up in Pride they were harder to put out. There certainly were fixed fights in Japan, though (Hi Bob Sapp).
it wasn’t staged but they were so disappointed in the rest of the card that they decided back stage that they were gonna give a real show
Frye talked about it in an interview, the match was real but the other fighter approached him beforehand and they agreed to go all out to make a spectacle. Unfortunately, the opponent got the worse thrashing in the exchange. Frye was clearly the harder and more powerful pugilist
“Am I ever gonna get to finish off one of these guys” - Glenn 😂
Don't worry Charlie you're our favourite anyway. You had our backs on the banned episode convo and i'll always remember that.
What happened there?
mermer?
Banned episode?
Also, I just noticed your name 😂😂😂😂 I swep his face, he cry
@@HugoStiglitz88 There are several banned episodes of Always Sunny. You can find a list online of all the episodes that have been banned, I think there's like 5 in total give or take.
The fact it’s slightly off behind the beat and then you bring it back makes it more real and very iconic
I'll never understand why someone being late for this podcast is so funny. But it is.
They can easily cut it out, but they don't cause these guys are so real. So refreshing for people in the entertainment industry.
And I feel like it's funnier that they're late by just a minute or two, and not like, half an hour late or something
They are basically being a not clinically and criminally insane version of their characters from the show lol. That is probably why it is funny, or atleast that is my theory.
Piper was such a natural in this role. Sad that we will never see him reprise that role.
"The Gang Creates a "The Maniac" Hologram to Wrestle for the Troops Again"
@@py_a_thon but it’s ps2 graphics.
@@Stumme-40203 Dennis: Goddammit Charlie, I told you to get 4 graphics cards. Why the hell did you buy only one and 40 fans?
Charlie: Because I figured if you like keep the machine gods cooled down, then they would be happier...
Mac: I told him it was a stupid idea.
Dennis: No you didn't. Both of you are stupid. STUPID savages. Savages!
:)
@@Stumme-40203 I am convinced that you could probably create a drinking game based around creating imaginary Sunny plots lol. The actual Chardee Macdennis, brought to you by Wolf Cola and Fight Milk.
@@py_a_thon someone needs to do that
I love how it's so quiet in the cold open you can hear Charlie move his mug across the table 😂
My favorite thing about Sunny is how it builds on itself. Episodes like this, or The Gang Squashes Their Beefs, are so funny because they build on seasons and seasons of lore. It's one thing that Sunny has that a lot of shows don't. If you get it, you get it, and if you don't, you don't.
i always tell everyone to start with "the gang gets trapped" its so funny and a perfect introduction to what each character is like
I also often recommend Chardee macdennis
I always felt that if you didn’t like Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare then the show wouldn’t be for you
My go-to is Mac and Dennis break up. Its just a perfect episode,it has something for everyone and its so wellwritten.
Man Hunters is a good one@@zambonibob2026
@@phaaaze9984nah I’ve never been a fan of that one, the stuff with them is funny. But the Mac and Charlie plot isn’t too interesting, and Frank is acting very out of character
The episode my friend showed me that really made me understand the show:
The Gang Dines Out
It’s not over-the-top. You guys take a simple concept and one set and turn it into the funniest shit. Especially when Rob and Charlie look like meerkats staring at each other from across the dining room
Classic
😂🔥🔥
The first one I ever saw was "Dennis and Dee go on welfare" and I was hooked from there
@@gatergates8813 yes! Another great episode beginning to end🔥
"the D.E.N.N.I.S. system for me. That or Chardee MacDennis, I can't remember. I was relatively late to the game but I torrented all the episodes I could find after that and never looked back (I pay now! Don't sue please!)
@@Slappymcnasty3805 😂
Both classics.
Charlie is the reliable friend we all need 😂
2 more days til season starts. Love you guys !!!!
WOAH i didnt know thank you
@@vojislav88 june 7
Holy shit it is only two more days wow
Rowdy Roddy Piper is a Canadian icon! The fact that he had enough humility and sense of humor to play a washed up wrestler is fantastic. I also found his performance haunting, which heightened the hell out of the episode's comedy. Thanks for spending so much time talking about him!
It'd be great to have an episode where they watch it live and we can see their genuine real time reactions to rewatching old episodes.
I think the extreme home makeover episode is a good one to start with. It's the first one I saw, and it hooked me. It's based enough on reality to kind of get the motivations...so when they inevitably go off the rails the viewer is left laughing, instead of scratching their head.
best part of my week as an australian is getting home from class on a monday, to have a new sunny podcast ep uploaded straight away. genuinely makes life worth living
this is so real !!! - fellow aussie
Another Aussie here, it kept me sane last year and I'm enjoying it this year 👌
@@erikarimes i love it, i recently moved out of my family home and to a different state for film school, so having this, where it just feels like i’m spending quality time with them, is so refreshing and grounding!
@@martinsobbing i love being reassured there’s other australian fans LMAO
charlie should come in 5 minutes early every episode and have a pretend conversation with everyone
This episode led me to dress as the Birds of War on 3 pro wrestling cruises lol. So thank you for the shenanigans guys. Da Maniac loves you.
*theynanigans
@@melvin9310 😂😂
I live for cold opens with missing cast members - never getting tired of it haha
I've always loved how on top of everything else the gang are good singers, so even as the birds of war song falls apart it does sound pretty cool.
Da maniac being driven away mid speech not bring scripted is so funny 😭
"I wish I had a good antidote..." When he meant anecdote, such a Charlie thing to sayyyyy 😂
Razzing each other about being late, is a great podcast bit. Keep it going!
Officially need Charlie to do a Spalding Gray-esque monologue
This episode deserves a part 2. It was funny from start to end, all characters nailed every scene.
Happy to have Rob’s giggle back
Charlie should play all the roles on the podcast! And start every week early! And go completely nuts in the time he is alone!
"I'm sure the audience has gotta be sick of hearing how one or two of us is late for the show" I most certainly am not. It's like the unofficial opening to each episode and I live for it.
I love the fan theory that Frank and Charlie found Z's blown out jean shorts boiled them, stitched them back together and gave them to Ben. And Z recognized them which is why he knows you can't wear them non-stop
Z's line has gotta be one of the best in the whole series. Kills me every time.
Damn... I think you nailed it.
The mismatch between the beat and the singing is what makes it funnier.
Its one of my favorite episodes Piper played the role so well as the washed wrestler with mental problems. The scene that always killed me was when Dennis asked oh you got kids Maniac? Maniac smirking for a second before totally changing moods and with a pause No...not anymore.
That's a bucket of chestnuts...is he foraging for his food? 😂
i wish the gang could realize what actually makes the birds of war song so iconic is the fact that they were offbeat. so much funnier
The Maniac's kids scene is my 2nd big laugh from Sunny after Nightman, especially the chestnut line
Genuinely had to pause the episode after that because i was laughing so hard lmao
Rob's knowledge of wrestling makes this podcast episode so funny
The conversation about giants gave me a giant belly laugh. Thank you!
We used to openly slay giants!
Charlie was 3 minutes away from stringing up paint cans, and leaving out bear traps.
I think that the song being off beat works really well for the scene - i always assumed it was intential because the crowd isn't enjoying the song and the costumes are so funny
Introducing people to Sunny: Season 2. Watch “Charlie gets Crippled” immediately followed by “Gang goes Jihad” and close out your first hour of the show with “Gang gives back” which essentially makes it an hour long episode
I love that the birds of War song is off time. It makes it infinitely funnier to me.
Charlie day talking to himself is amazing i could watch 1 hour of this lol
I will never get tired of you guys giving each other shit for being late
These episodes drop at 2:00 am for me...yet here I am.
George "The Animal" Steele was actually very intelligent and well spoken, the complete opposite of his on screen character.
I like Robs shirt in this one. Looks good tucked in. Charlie looks good too. He’s rocking the beard looking like a dad lol.
We will NEVER get sick of hearing you call each other out for being late
Best opening to the show so far. Charlie killed it.
I love this show and this podcast and the jean shorts scene with kiss from a rose playing is one of the best scenes ever!
I wanted so BADLY for there to be a Charlie musical intro but god damn they made something amazing with literally nothing.
This is one of favorite episode of Sunny of all time. Trash-man is my favorite Frank Reynolds creation ever.
Boys, I just gotta say, thank you for doing this podcast. I rewatch the show every year and I always wanted more. I'm a day one with the podcast and haven't missed an episode in 18 months. Thanks again
I truely believe yall found your stride again after all these podcasts with this new season. First two epsisodes were incredible and bring me back t the first few seasons.
Yes Rob is back and we can finally see the dynamic duo (glenn x rob) being roasted by Charlie.
I always thought them singing off beat to the music was planned. That’s what makes it so damn funny.
Watched blackberry yesterday. Glen you crushed it. Was very well done all round.
BlackBerry was amazing. From start to finish it was great! So is Charlie’s new film . Super funny Ken’s great in it for sup role
Twins! I watched it yesterday too and Glenn was fantastic!
@@TheBbot25 it’s great his expressions when furious.. is so believing to the point I’ve had managers like it … he’s so cut throat
@@FuckoMcTim if glen doesn't get the next big boardroom movie or high stakes court room drama those woke dorks in Hollyweird have no sense.
I'll throw my 2 cents in. This was the first episode I ever watched, I was hooked instantly! I got the tone and it was perfect. It's episodes like this that make a fan x
As a former troop, Cricket and his general apathy towards the troops is comedic gold!!!! Also, it's pretty rad y'all have the Apache picture at the bar as a former army aviator myself!
Oh and here's to hoping getting a Ben the soldier episode for Veterans Day 🍻🍻🍻
