    Just wow, that's literally the perfect episode of any comedy show..

    OMG.. the writing.. the direction.. the twists.. the hilarious hysterical unbelievable crazy perfect episode.. I couldn't stop smiling from the beginning.. and in some moments I was just laughing so hysterically my family thought I was crazy.. at first.. I just said to myself let me give this show a chance so I decided watching the first season.. I like it but it's not so wow .. but season 2 is just different.. especially this episode, this shows you that there is a high level crew behind the camera .. literally every scene is written in a way that make you laugh so hard.. love everything about it and it's so genius and timeless .. my favorite episode by far.. and one of the best episodes ever in any comedy show.. just 10/10 .. I still can't stop thinking about how great it was.. this is just hilarious.

    Too Funny

    I've only seen 11 episodes so far and it's already one of the funniest shows I've seen. Though I haven't seen too many sitcoms and comedy shows, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Office are still my top favorite comedies and I think this might take over Curb for me as I watch more of it.

    This show, like Curb, is immediately funny from the first episode you watch and I'm glad I finally decided to start this show and wish I did it sooner.

    The comedy is just my type of humor and it's the type of blunt comedy we don't see anymore and uses language that isn't acceptable in media anymore, but that's what makes it more special and funny, especially with the shortage of actually funny comedies recently.

    The offensiveness is ironic and it's not one of those "just offensive and r*cist because the creator is r*cist or for the sake of being offensive" kind of situations, it's actually written very intelligently and they acknowledge how r*cist and offensive they are being and it makes it so much better and funnier.

    The characters are really funny and the plots of the episodes are really well-written and it gets better by the episode.

    I'm only 11 episodes in and already loving it, can't wait to see more of these characters.

    The Best Episode of comedy TV out there.

    In being only the 2nd episode of Television I've seen since I've joined IMDb that I felt deserved a perfect score of 10*, "Mac Bang Dennis' Mom" is Comedy perfection. It is comparable to the likes of South Parks genius "Scott Tenorman Must Die" in that it includes the best of crude humor, plot twists, and raw character interaction. From what I've seen so far from 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' plots are able to develop effortlessly in less than 30 minutes. Its something that hasn't been done so easily since the early seasons of South Park, and Seinfeld before that. I think for anyone wondering what the show is really like, the best example would be within the first episodes of season two where the shows grit meets its abstract humor. If nothing else give it a shot, because for once the laughs aren't cheap, the plots are current, and the characters mesh well.

    • Trivia
      The vocals for the club music that Frank dances to were actually done by Rob Mac and Glenn Howerton. The song itself was influenced by an ad-lib Danny DeVito did when he started dancing and singing "go for it."

      When Dennis and the Waitress are in the office talking to Charlie, you can clearly see a gap where there is no ceiling.

      Dennis Reynolds: What the hell is she doing here?

      Waitress: What the hell is she doing here? Really? Really. I'll tell you what I'm doing here. You wanna know what I'm doing here, shit-for-brains? I had sex with your dad! That's right! I had sex with your father, because just like you, I like my sex old and ugly! And with fake hair on their heads that falls off when you're having sex with them! It just falls off, because that's what you do, Dennis Reynolds - you like to have sex with old people! And you said that you loved me! You said "I love you", and so I thought "Okay, well, I love you too"! How do you show love? You go and have sex with old people, SO THAT'S WHAT I DID TOO!
