    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.

    Another classic episode

    This season has been full of decent episodes. It has relevant points and was pretty funny. Probably one of the better episodes this season out of them.

    The weakest episode so far this season

    Let me start off buy saying this season has been a blast so far. I can't believe how many hit episodes this show has through out this 14 season run. Of course there have always been weaker episodes and this one was one of them. I agree with the other posters in thinking that the episode would have been much better with the group shenanigans dealing with the park and less on the texting that happened throughout the episode. They could have done so much more. Still it was an entertaining watch as this show always is. Season 14 is up there as one of my favorite seasons so far with the last 4 episodes just being all around great. So while this one was the weakest of the 5 it was by no means bad, just not as funny when comparing the season as a whole. I can't wait to see what else the gang brings for the rest of the season.

    I'm having a hard time getting through this season

    I haven't actually laughed once this season. The show is going downhill super fast. We get it, Macs gay. Why the hell are people actually peeing on each other? How is that funny? Are the writers 5 years old?

      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..."
