Mac Finds His Pride

I enjoyed the dance. Screw the haters. I thoght it was poignant.

There are plenty of people out there who LOVE that this show takes big swings. Just because it doesn't work for what YOU came to the show with, doesn't mean it doesn't work period. And encouraging a show to end simply because YOU no longer get something from it, or because it's been a few episodes since you laughed, is the epitome of the Always Sunny narcissism that you once enjoyed. Look at how many lives were touched by this episode.

At its most basic, what is comedy? When you laugh at something, what's happening in your brain? A recognition of something real-The act of laughing releases endorphins that make, just for a moment, all the chaos and noise in your life fade away. It moves you. It touches you. Without hitting you over the head, Mac's dancing had the same cathartic effect as the most well written jokes on the show.

This show isn't The Office without Steve Carrell. It doesn't need to end now, or ever, as long as they're still putting out content that moves people. Beautiful things don't have to be funny. Funny things don't have to be surrounded by beauty. Life is better with Always Sunny on TV, period.

This was by far one of the most healing pieces of media I've consumed as a member of the lgbt community. There are movies that are solely about being gay that didn't resonate with me the way this episode did, it's obvious that the people writing those movies don't "get it" the way Rob and Charlie do. Last night I watched my home state elect a man who doesn't even believe in marriage equality and that made me feel hopeless. This morning, I watched a show that is famous for its extreme satire take a moment to reach out and comfort a community that is too often on the receiving end of horrible jokes. I am not exaggerating when I say that I feel like I was given a hug by everyone involved with this episode, and I appreciate how much the cast and crew care about my community. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Wow.

For a good 3/4's of this episode, Sunny showcases it's well known black humor, such as the degradation of Frank's infected face and a funny Cricket cameo. It's typical, classy Sunny as the gang tries to get Mac to dance on their pride float.

It's the last quarter of this episode that floored me. Beautiful and emotionally charged, Mac Finds His Pride strikes an unfamiliar, yet powerful tone. One of the best season endings on television. I wish I could talk more, but it's important that viewers watch this scene with a fresh set of eyes.

I created an account just to give this episode a well-deserved 10/10. This isn't "peak Sunny". This is a different Sunny episode. Yet, one of their best.

I've not been a huge fan of this season on the whole, but this episode may well be my favourite of them all. I can understand the low ratings people are giving it because I understand that some people just aren't ready for what happened here. The ending was epic, stunning and truly unexpected. I won't go into details but be ready for something you could never be ready for 👌🏻
