    Very good episode

    This is one of the better episodes of season 14, which I feel is pretty hit-or-miss. It's pretty consistently funny.

    The comments about it being "boomer humor" are pretty funny, too. No, the show isn't written for teenagers who just started watching it 2 years ago. These guys are in their 40's now. Sunny is older than smartphones. Sorry, maybe you need to find a different show to watch.

    Okay

    The gang going to the zoo is a funny premise, but, I think they could have done more with it. There were some funny moments, but, it is not classic Sunny. I still love the show, but, I want it to finish strong. It would be sad if they kept going until it sucked. There is still potential for some great stuff, but, they need to start wrapping it up soon.

    One of the funniest episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

    The gang goes to the zoo awaiting Frank they text the group a couple minutes later Frank arrives with bananas which is silly and I always love how they yell at each other! The comedy with Dennis is great everything that occurs with him walking away not finding him, the texts are awesome, and one of the funniest things ever is when they several members peek out with an animal. I agree with someone else this show can go on forever it's still so good a many years later. It was silly how they kept getting confused by the texts or some other reaction; plus hilarious a couple of them peed on each other that was perfect. This is a classic fun episode defiantly one of my favorites.

      The long text that Mac send to Dennis reads: "Dennis..I feel like you are ignoring me...I think this is all just a big misunderstanding because of these texts and you can't tell how I am feeling when I am texting. I was just trying to check in on you to make sure you are okay, just like everyone else in the group. We should meet up and get back on track...? Let us know that U R okay? OK? LOL u kno wut I mean...You aren't mad at me tho, right? I just want this trip to be da bomb for U.. I always try to put a lot of hard work into our relationship. I tell you that your face looks smooth, even when I find a wrinkle. I dye your hair, and I massage your pecks after a workout to keep you nice and limber, I make you shakes and I put in all this work for us so I can enjoy a smile on your face at the end of the day..."
