    this episode is pure gold

    I loved it my favorite one until now really good especially the Dennis & the girl story (also Mac and Dee one was hilarious)

    One of the Funniest Episodes Yet

    This is probably the most I've laughed at an Always Sunny episode, and with that amazing ending, how could I not?

    Season 11 so far was probably the worst season for me despite having a couple of great episodes, and it was mostly meh. But this season has been banger after banger so far (well, at least the first 20% of it), and it continues to deliver more gems like these first two.

    The setups and payoffs in this episode are really great and make up for a hilarious ending that me laughing even through the credits till my sides hurt.

    Just everything in this episode is funny and the pacing is so good I think it's one of the top most rewatchable episodes of the show and one of the best shows in general.

    Some episodes have great openings or really funny title card drops like "Mac Kills His Dad", but I don't think I've ever thought an ending to an episode was this funny. This has been the funniest ending to an episode of the show for me personally, at least to my recollection, and I can't wait to rewatch it whenever I need a good laugh.

    I was crying laughing at this part. This episode is comedy gold. All the different plots are hilarious.

    Thundergun Water Slide

    Pretty good episode. The Dennis story is the strongest.

    My stomach hurt

    I love the show. BUT this episode made me laugh so hard it hurt my stomach. I haven't laughed that hard since Super Troopers.
