It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - "Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games" - 10/27/11



It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - "Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games" (10/27/11)

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Another rainy day in Philadelphia. The gang can't go out and play, so they stay indoors and play a board game of their own devising. (It doesn't much resemble Chutes and Ladders). They also drink.


Judging from the promo, I have a feeling that this is going to be a good one. (Unfortunately, I'm posting this from my phone and can't seem to find an embed code for the promo.)

I'm a sucker for when a comedy's characters make up their own games with elaborate rules. "Friends" did this a couple of times and those episodes are some of my favorites of that show. And, of course, there's Calvinball.

Here is the promo, if anyone wants to embed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Z7u8hbd6sOA

What an amazing episode. Tons of laughs, very creative, and everyone was in top form.

The ending with Dennis and Dee winning... I couldn't stop laughing.

^^^ Nitpick: the closed captions said "cheese and crepes".

How long before a "Chardee MacDennis" rule book pops up online?

This episode reminded me that Dee and Dennis are twins. During the dart phase, she's has the same intense look as he does.

I think I may bust out CharDee MacDennis at the next party.

at this whole episode.

I'd love to play this game but I don't know how well the throwing a dart at someone's hand thing will go over.

Very funny episode. Loved the intro with their excitement for Mac showing up.

Dennis and Dee being siblings made their team photo - pics of their heads pasted over what looked like the cover of a cheesy romance novel - creepy and funny.

For those with DirectTV and saw the "OMFG you're never going to see this show again!" plea, Rob McElhenney has already slimmed down considerably.

Absolutely hilarious. I have one quibble though. Frank cursed while they were still in round one! Only Dee and Dennis had advanced. For shame.

That was round 2 as far as clock time on the game went, which was when the no cussing rule began. Not level 2.

Oh wow, I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought. That game was great though.

My favorite part of the episode was when Dennis kicked the crate and threw beer in Frank's face.

Amazing. Easily my favorite episode so far from this season (not that that's saying much, but it was a great episode).

Who thought watching a drinking game could be fun? I wish someone had thought of the kennel idea for getting caught cheating in drinking games when I was in college. That would've made Asshole a lot more interesting.

Clearly

When FX sells an official boxed game of Chardee MacDennis, I will buy it.

Part of its there, but decoration only by their standards, you and your drinking buddies will have to make up the game cards and rule book, or you can just lie about it.

(Making it yourself seems like a much better idea )

Tsk Tsk. The 17th rule of Chardee MacDennis is you do not talk about Chardee MacDennis. For breaking this rule everyone in this forum must send me a dvd. Them there are the rules. Failure to do so will cause a penalty round in which you sit at home sipping a beverage and ignoring this online forum post. Don't make me enforce the latter.
