Last weeks episode wasn't THAT bad, the plot sucked ass but the humor was pretty well intact. Now the who pooped the bed episode, THAT was bad.

I'd give them an A for effort last week, but the episode just didn't bring as many laughs as usual, IMO. I liked "Who pooped the bed?" - the other episode where they tried something new - better.

Anyway, the short promo clip for tonight's episode looks funny.

I hate that the wild card episode was so early in the season because I feel like it's been all downhill from there. I've still enjoyed the show, but the other eps in the season don't match up. It would have been like having Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person at the start of last season.

I'm sure I'll love this episode, but I imagine it will continue to not quite live up to wild card.

The scene where they storm the house was awesome

That was damned good Sunny. I loved the storming, the stabbing, the blowtorch, and the jean shorts versus cutoffs. The only thing about it was that it was pretty predictable Dee was going to lose the house.

Frank is truly one sick bastard. DeVito doesn't always add much to the show (and sometimes takes away from it), but he added value to this episode for sure.

Next week:

Day Man makes a return!!!!

"Taco bed" is the hardest I have laughed in a while. I'm sad that the season finale is coming up next week.

Wasn't really feeling tonight's episode but still chuckled a bit throughout. The opening was so true because I have seen the "hardest of men" cry during Extreme Home MakeOver

Ugh, horrible episode. The show is getting a little too cartoonish. This is the second time in the past month they've commited MAJOR felonies and we're supposed to just accept that and look the other way with some lame explanation as to why they're not in prison.

I agree. These characters have gone from narcissist assholes to completely insane. Except for Charlie, who started insane.

This was a great episode (especially after last week). The home invasion is probably going to remain one of my favorite moments from the entire series. Also, loved the brown pajamas, so the little girl could be the ground beef in the taco bed.

Loved Dennis' defense of his cut-off jean shorts.

When Dennis said tacos and the cashier looked at them I couldn't breath for like a minute I was laughing so hard. That could be my new favorite line of the series, replacing my sig.

I think they would have possibly had a defense to kidnapping, which is what I imagine you are speaking of as a major felony. It wasn't arson. I don't think anything else would qualify as a major felony.

IIRC, the run ins with the law have been pretty constant throught the series.

Great episode! The home invasion was the hardest I've laughed in a long time. I don't get the hate for Danny Devito. He adds a good dynamic to the cast. I wish they had kept to one episode a week. Can't wait for Dayman: The Musical.

The invasion itself was one of the funniest moments in It's Always Sunny history.

I liked how Danny DeVito in this episode just kept filming them, knowing they were going to fail. And then encouraged them to open up a window so the house would burn down. What a terrible bastard.

Dennis' face during the break-in was absolutely priceless. SOMEONE please make an animated gif of him with the lizard tongue... PLEASE!

The extreme home invasion was pretty priceless.

One question though... if they were only supposed to suprise the family with this good deed (and I'm guessing they did it while the family was sleeping at night to heighten the suprise) why did they dress in black outfits typical of burglars?

I thought this was one of the funnier episodes of the season. Dennis and Charlie's scenes were hilarious with the jean shorts and taco bed discussions.

It's hard to believe the season finale is next week. It went by so fast!
