    One of the best episodes of It's Always Sunny

    It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is one of my all-time favorite shows. it is probably because I enjoy its dark and odd humor that is greatly juxtaposed with some truly sociopathic characters. One of the episodes I rewatch the most from this series would have to be this one, Mac and Dennis: Manhunters. I love this episode for a couple of reasons. The first being the Dee and Charlie's adventure to go try and match the meat that Frank fed them. This storyline is hilariously dark and leads to a great conclusion. My other favorite storyline being Mac and Dennis hunting Cricket throughout Philadelphia which leads to some hilarious Frank and Cricket moments that I will not spoil. This is a great episode and one that I feel deserves a lot more attention than it receives.

    • Trivia
      In the cold open when Mac and Dennis decide they want to be manhunters, Frank says "No, you do not go on a manhunt", to which Mac and Dennis reply "screw you". However, you can see that "screw you" was dubbed over Mac's actual response of "fuck you".

      When Dee and Charlie are walking together on the sidewalk eating their sandwiches and talking about craving 'the hunger', you can hear actress Kaitlin Olsen flub the word 'insatiable' and then immediately correct herself.
    • Quotes

      Charlie Kelly: [Charlie and Dee examine bodies in a morgue] These are two dead bodies.

      Dee Reynolds: They're dead. Two dead guys.

      Charlie Kelly: This is the real deal here.

      Dee Reynolds: [Examining African American specimen] I don't think I can eat this guy.

      Charlie Kelly: I don't think I can, right? Why is that?

      Dee Reynolds: I don't know.

      Charlie Kelly: It's not because he's black, though, right?

      Dee Reynolds: Of course not... I don't think so... No.

      Charlie Kelly: It's because he's dead, right?

      Dee Reynolds: It's because he's dead, that's why not.

      Charlie Kelly: Good, good, good.

      [pause]

      Charlie Kelly: I've got a question for you: is it racist if we don't eat this guy?

      Dee Reynolds: Well, shit, Charlie. Now it is.

      Charlie Kelly: I'm sorry, Dee.

      [walking over to white specimen]

      Charlie Kelly: The white guy over here looks better to me for some reason.

      Dee Reynolds: So much better, doesn't he? What is that?

      Charlie Kelly: You know what it is? Generally, I don't eat dark meat.

      Dee Reynolds: I prefer the white meat. I always have.

      Charlie Kelly: It's not that guy. It's this guy.

      Dee Reynolds: The problem is: I'm gonna have a really hard time if we're both cannibals *and* we're racists.

      Dee Reynolds: We're not, Dee. Cannibalism? Racism? Dee, that's not for us. You know? Those are the decisions that are best left to the suits in Washington. Okay? We're just here to eat some dude.

      Dee Reynolds: You lost me with Washington, but the rest I agree with. So let's eat a peace of this guy.

      Charlie Kelly: [long, apprehensive pause] I can't do it.

      Dee Reynolds: No. Me neither.

      Charlie Kelly: The goods news is, I guess this means we're not racist.
