Charlie Defines “Charlie Work”
“Basement stuff, cleaning urinals, blood stuff, your basic slimes, your sludges. Anything dead or decaying, I’m on it. I’m dealing with it.” And at it’s core Charlie loves it, which I think we all kind of knew.
I enjoyed Charlie’s definition of weirdness as well, but it was just a summation of all the weird things we already know about Charlie, except for the cat hair and dead pigeon in his pocket, of course.
Frank Was Sent To A Nitwit School Upstate
From the pistachios to the frog kid to being unzipped, I’m 99% certain Danny DeVito ad-libbed this entire scene.
Dennis Gets His Freud On
I enjoy everything about exploring Dennis’s narcissistic/sociopathic personality. Just when his delusions of academic grandeur almost seem plausible there’s the big reveal that he’s as demented as the rest, if not more so. “It’s very generous.”
It Should Have Been Dee Making Out With Gosling In The Rain
So of course Dee’s entire motivation for going to therapy was to get validation for her acting skills. Was it that hard?
The Reynolds Triplet
That can’t possibly be true.
The Pheasant Wasn’t That Divine After All
Two dead pigeon reveals, savings, a haymaker, and he didn’t have to do the dishes? Charlie = Biggest winner.

Oh, dishes… the origin of conflict for thousands of years.
it´s always funny in philadelphia.
You’ve had a dead pigeon in your pocket this whole time?
I miss Fat Mac, but I think Mac, as a whole, got funnier.
Dammit. I really need to start watching this show again. Even without context those lines are funny.
Charlie’s pigeon only got funnier the more i saw it.
Sexually conflicted Mac > Fat Mac.
Although this show will sadly end eventually, it’s nice that it will at least help potentially launch the career of Charlie Day
He’s the only reason I’ll openly watch my wife’s cheesy rom coms. I can’t not love him.
I hope this show never leaves me, but it will.
And I will cry.
Everything’s coming up Charlie!
+100
won’t someone think of the dishes in that last segment?
The dishes were the loser.
Side note: Why can’t we get one of these guys for an AMA?
Ooh, that would be awesome! Let’s get DeVito’s troll-foot up in here!
Just go ahead and jam that pen-dick in your mouth
GOOOOOO!
just kind smothered it, maybe hugged it too much
I’m no expert in various lawyering’s, but I feel like that definitely violates bird law
Let’s go back to our hotplates, fry up some Grilled Charlies and really hash this situation out.
More of “The Fresh Prince” and his/her amazing gif work.
SMASH ‘EM UP!
AMAZING
Best credits sequence. Absolute best.
Can we just go ahead and assume that Mac is gay? Between the tranny and trying to kiss Dennis during the trash episode, I expect a “Mac’s Probably Gay” episode.
Mac’s been gay for some time. Always talking about physiques, the tranny, Chase Utley. It’s like Mr. Smithers—they’ve hinted it so much that they don’t even really need to spell it out.
Has there been an episode where he actually dated/boned someone (other than hot trannie)? Dennis, Charlie and even Frank get more action than him. But then, if he was gay, the tranny would have been his perfect gateway.
He banged/fell in love with Dennis and Dee’s mom. Also banged the Waitress, but yeah, probably has some confusion doing sweet karate moves in his head
Don’t forget the M.A.C. system! He got Dennis’ seconds all the time.
I can’t really hold the tranny against him. I mean… damn. But yeah, there’s definitely a “Gay Mac” story to be told.
so then when do him and dennis move beyond being hetero-life partners?
I know this is a week and a half late, but don’t forget about the hot anti-abortion girl!
They’ve all been great episodes, but I haven’t laughed as hard as I did last night for 18 minutes. It was just great all around. Fuck Dee, you do the dishes.
Again, thanks to “The Fresh Prince” on SA, we’ve got Frank spewing pistachio shells everywhere!
I thought the pistachio spitting was the funniest part.
Thanks to Something Awful forums member “The Fresh Prince”, we’ve got .gif of Charlie coming at Dennis with everything he has
Thanks for sharing. Tumblr has been slacking lately on IASIP GIFs.
GOON SQUAD
I bet they rehearsed that for hours.
That has been a long time coming
What I want to know is what’s going on out in the waiting room while each one’s getting their head shrunk – how is the chaos not spilling back into the one one sessions over and over again?
And how to they not drag this poor woman into every argument they have from now on? i’ll be shocked if we don’t see this character come up again and again in times of dispute.
Kerri Kenney’s reactions were possibly the best part of this episode.
Did you like that? Did you think that was good? Tell me I’m good. Tell me it was good. Tell me I’m good. Tell me I’m good. Tell me that was good. Tell me I’m good. Tell me I’m good. Tell me I’m good. Tell me I’m good tell me I’m good tell me I’m good tell me I’m good tell me I’m good
I kept waiting for Kerrey Kinney to lay the psychological bitch slap on all of them, summing up succinctly each of their psychological issues into truth grenades and lobbing them at each of their faces. but it never came. She had moments of introspection but ultimately just sat there and took the abuse.
Truth grenades. That’s what it needed, that’s what it lacked, and that’s why I’m kinda disappointed in this one.
But that was the obvious, cliche way to do it.
The funny part is, she reacted pretty much how a real shrink would. They aren’t going to just fling out a diagnosis after talking to a person for 5 minutes. She’s trying to be as professional as possible and they are just shitting all over her. Almost literally.
HSS has the right of it.
Dee’s explosive rant at the end was classic.
“…and now, I’m gonna come at you with everything I have.”
Hilarious.
He’s such a gent.
I got so much enjoyment from Charlie hitting Dennis.
I always get enjoyment from Charlie hitting someone, or Dennis getting hit. So this was a nice sandwich.
In terms of ranking the segments, I’ll go:
1. Dennis
2. Charlie
3. Dee
4. Mac
5. Frank
1. Charlie
2. Dennis
3. Mac
4. Frank
5. Dee
Dee is always the loser.
^ that’s the one
I would agree with Phillip but all of the guys were fucking fantastic. I can’t really choose between them.
I’ll play.
1) Mac.
2) Charlie
3) Dennis
4) Dee
5) Frank
Philip River Cuomo is right.
I know some people complained about Frank’s Brother, but I want a flashback episode with Frank at the Nitwith School with the Frog Kid and the lip-less spaceman girl with a plastic bag for a helmet.
it’s a completely reasonable request
I hope there’s plenty of pistachios as well.
I originally thought that Charlie was King of the Rats and was merely adding Duke of the Pigeons to his list of titles. So it was a nice surprise to see that he had the pigeon because he had served everyone pigeon for dinner.
“IT’S ALL COMIN’ BACK, Y’UNDERSTAND?!? I DON’T LIKE IT! i DON’T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT!!!”
Franks session wins by a country mile.
yes, agreed
I was hopping Frank was going to tell a story about Rambo instead of himself, but the nitwit school and frog kid was great.
They drew First Blood.
I thought he was going to go into a story about One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
“I used to be as big as a skyscraper, but now I’m as small as a postage stamp!” I lost it at that point. One of the best episodes in an already strong season.
“You’re going to want to strap in for this next one”, followed immediately by Charlie banging his head against the picture frame and instantly agreeing to do the dishes was the best moment of the episode for me.
I liked that there’s a flicker of hope that maybe it’s going to do them some good.
I understand that they are trying to help Sandy victims, but you can’t show me Charlie Day on set in full Charlie outfit and expect me to take him seriously.
He’s got cruel intentions!
I would’ve donated $1,000 on the spot if the kitten mittens cat had just walked a cross the bar while he was talking.
Oh, man, totally would have contributed at least one paycheck if that happened!
This season is definitely improving on the last. Not a week episode yet.
I really liked the Fat Mac season, but every episode so far this season has been Top Shelf Sunny.
If you’re not a fan of the show, this episode would have made zero sense at all. But luckily, I’m a fan – huzzah!
To be honest, i’ve loved every season except for 4. And even that one just had two really bad episodes with Who Pooped The Bed and the Liberty Bell thing.
Who Pooped the Bed was great, especially Artemis’ theory about what happened.
Speaking of which, where the fuck has Artemis been so far this season?
Probably getting her asshole bleached again. Possibly getting sweaty in various bathrooms and dumpsters.
What Mr List said.
Dee, Do the goddamn dishes.
God wants me to get big with BOVINE hormones.
Also – Mexican ephedra/speed = size pills
Frank spitting pistachios all over the floor was in the commercials, yet it still made me laugh when I saw it again. Love that crazy, crazy man.
If they ever make twins 2, he needs to be in character as Frank Reynolds
I don’t think the two characters are that different. Then again, haven’t watched Twins in ages.
I really hope someone can find the .gif of Charlie shouting “Go!” and throwing a dead pigeon onto the table. I laughed my ass off.
I figured something was going to be up with the meal when Charlie said he had to get an exotic pheasant. The he pulled out the pigeon.
Dee ending the episode by smashing plates was fucking fantastic.
Seriously.
especially because the other 4 didn’t even care about the dishes being smashed.
it was never about someone cleaning the dishes — it was about winning. and that’s why this show is the best
OPPA!
I dread the days when my Thursdays (or Fridays if I record) are not brightened up each Fall by Charlie Day.
They just need to move the gang to a different city and call it a new show. It’s Always Sunny in San Francisco would be amazing
Maybe then Frank would be able to bribe a city official
I really enjoyed how Mac’s segment started off with him doing karate.
Every episode should feature Mac doing karate.
The short breaths never fail to slay me.
If he doesn’t make the wooshing sounds, you notice just how slow he is.
You just blew my mind with why he makes the sounds.
I thought it was because it made it easier for him to feel like a movie martial artist, and therefore more badass.
Well, yeah, but their wooshes come from the speed of their strikes. Mac has to make his on wooshes.
He moves a less impressive when he doesn’t make to whooshing sounds. Look back at every time he’s tried to do a “sweet roundhouse”. No whoosh sound and always an utter failure.
His moves are*
Every episode IS Mac doing karate.
I love at the end of the cold open after the gang busts into the office, the shrink looks horrified at Dee, and she just has this “I told you so” look on her face.
