    Darker than usual

    One of the series' darkest episodes for sure, but still full of some iconic and hilarious moments. This episode has Dennis' psychopathy on full display, Frank revisiting his time at the nitwit school, and an appearance by our boy Cricket. Kind of a downer episode but still great.

    Such a great episode!!!

    I don't understand how this has such a low rating, especially for IASIP.

    Just the scene in the doctors office alone is absolutely hilarious aswell as cricket's constant references to his issues on the streets.

    For the people thinking its dark, yea it's IASIP that's how it's always been.

    Great episode, deserves better ratings

    I think this was a good episode tackling mental health in the usual Sunny irreverent way. Not to really say much about the issues like some of their episodes but utlizing it as a jumping off point for the gang to basically get into shenanigans based on their personalities.

    I also enjoyed the darker Frank storyline, it isn't original but it's fun how they go about it.

    • Goofs
      At the end of the episode when then they send Pete on a train from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, the train he gets is labeled "Surfliner" in large letters. This Amtrak route goes from Los Angeles to San Diego and wouldn't be in Philadelphia.

      Dennis Reynolds: Dee? I swear you would be of more use to me if I skinned you and turned your skin into a lampshade. Or fashioned you into a piece of high-end luggage. I can even add you to my collection.

      Dee Reynolds: Are you saying that you have a collection of skin luggage?

      Dennis Reynolds: Of course I'm not, Dee. Don't be ridiculous. Think of the smell. You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch! Now you say another word and I swear to God I will dice you into a million little pieces. And put those pieces in a box, a glass box, that I will display on my mantel.
