    Is this the drop off?

    Awful episode. Same as the rest of this season. No laugh out loud jokes at all. Feels like it's been neutered, and what made the show so great for so long is finally gone.

    Feels watered down and like they were all phoning it in. A real Disappointment and ultimately a real shame to see my favourite show go to this place.

    Funniest episode without Frank

    I'm surprised they managed to be so funny without Frank. It's goofy and wild and it may not work for some because it's ridiculous and over the top, but this is some of the funniest always sunny I've seen. It's nothing like any of the other episodes. The comedy is completely different than a regular episode, but it works. Each character plays a character at dinner, but the characters they're playing match with their personalities perfectly.

    Best episode in a long time

    I laughed so hard through out the entire episode. This is why I love this show! Classic Sunny, classic characters, classic comedy. I loved every minute of this episode. This is the best episode of the season and maybe the best of the last couple seasons. This will go down as a classic Sunny episode.

    The ultimate Dennis episode

    Glenn Howerton has deserved an acting Emmy for a long time now but this might be the episode that finally pushes him over the finish line. Just a truly incredible performance, peak Dennis, pure psycho. Amazingly written, shocking, funny- Always Sunny back in all time form. The characters all seemed a little Flanderized last season but this season they're happily back in their prime.

    Pretty much old school

    I'm old enough to have been watching the show since 2006. I've missed the old gang for so long, but this episode is as close to old school as you can get. They finally figured out how to bring back angry Dennis without turning him into a one dimensional fire demon. Even Mac is acting (mostly) like the character we all know and love. Would love to see Dee make a comeback too, but this episode is funny.
