    The Best episode

    This show is incredible. After 10 seasons where every episode is hilarious, they finally made their masterpiece. Not only is the episode intelligent and well done from a technical standpoint, it is hilarious and a perfect representation of each character. Charlie (obviously) carries the episode in his best performance. But Frank, MAC, Dennis and Dee all contribute in their own, funny way too. The episode culminates in a very smart and funny inspection of the bar. A quintessential episode to my favorite live action show of all time

    Brilliant

    That last reviewer is either a moron or has no idea how television works. First of all, this episode was funny as hell, secondly the 13 minute uncut one-take performance by Charlie was simply amazing... One scene that lasted 13 minutes, completely uncut, all done in one take, while moving in and around the bar and even outside is just simply brilliant... Even Scorsese would be proud of that scene...

    So I don't know what the last reviewer of this episode is talking about, because for me the show is just as good as it has always been, and this episode is one of the best in the whole series...

    Brilliant show, funnier than most things on TV, 10/10

    Return to top form!

    This episode brought me back to the greatness of seasons 2 to 4.

    Charlie's persona has been tweaked a little for the purpose of the episode (imagine a hygiene-conscious Charlie, freaking out over Paddy's pub's cleanliness), yet despite feeling shoehorned, the concept actually works as the episode progresses.

    It is also the first episode edited as a one-shot, brilliantly executed and again, the pacing ads to the action and benefits the dynamic greatly.

    It's my favourite episode of the season so far! I sincerely hope this trend continues as the the previous seasons have not been up to the mark.

    The best episode in any comedy show ever.

    There's no doubt that this is the best episode of the whole show. I highly doubt that any upcoming IASIP episode will ever top this one. This isn't just the best comedy show episode ever. This is the best tv episode I've ever seen.

    I especially love that this episode has Charlie, the clearly dumbest in the gang, on his best performance ever. The long shot is a technique they should use more often. We all know that this works. Now, make a whole season of it.

    There's not much to say about this episode, only that I fricking love it. Nothing is wrong with this episode. If it says anything about how much I love it, I give it 100/10 stars.

    Hands down my favorite episode :)

    This episode is one of the top episodes of the series in my opinion; it captures all the character's behaviors so perfectly but really gives Charlie a chance to shine.

    The uncut/one-take scenes were executed beautifully and it really pulls you in and gets you invested in and even panicked about the situation.

    This episode is always a good one to watch and rewatch and it is such a great piece of television :)

    • Trivia
      The second act of the episode features a sequence 10 minutes and 13 seconds in length composed of nine shots carefully stitched together to look like one continuous take. The longest take, from Charlie closing the front door to bring the health inspector through to bringing her into the basement, is nearly six minutes long.
    • Goofs
      When Charlie is walking the Health Inspector out to her car on the sidewalk outside the pub, there's a sign in the background advertising a business with an area code of 213, which is in Los Angeles where the show is filmed.
