    The Magnum Opus of IASIP.

    This is the best episode of It's Always Sunny I've seen. You know when something is so funny that your stomach hurts from laughing too hard? And then something happens right after that that makes you laugh even harder? Imagine having that feeling for 17 straight minutes. The best thing this episode does is utilize multiple running gags better than any show has in a single episode. And these aren't the most important gags. These are smaller gags that you probably forgot about like Jack's hands and Maureen being a cat.

    After season 2 I never thought this show would hit that level of comedy again. This is episode somehow surpassed that. The writes and performers outdid themselves this episode. Take a bow!

      Charlie Kelly: That is not what he said. How are you a lawyer Jack?
