This list is fucked! A lot of classics hanging near the bottom. The episodes/moments in the top ten are truly amazing though. Long live Pepe Silvia!

I believe they are signed up to do two more seasons beyond the one starting in January. From what I understand, it's a pretty huge hit as a streaming show.
On April 1, 2016, the series was renewed for a thirteenth and fourteenth season, which will tie it with The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as the longest running live-action sitcom in American TV history.[4]

"The Gang Wrestles for the Troops" is waaaay too low on that list

mac is a trump voter, frank too
like, irl?
― flopson, Sunday, 15 January 2017 19:22 (seven years ago) link
nah, not IRL, cos Devito came out against Trump, and McElhenney has RTed very anti-Trump posts. probably means the characters themselves
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 15 January 2017 19:33 (seven years ago) link
ya i meant the characters

loved dennis passion for the grift lol
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 January 2017 04:36 (seven years ago) link
serious question -- is dennis a trump voter? i think he'd admire the narcissism but ultimately side with dee who obv can't stand him
― k3vin k., Monday, 16 January 2017 04:52 (seven years ago) link
imo trump is too down market for dennis
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 January 2017 04:53 (seven years ago) link
I think he'd see him as too Frank-like.

I doubt the Gang actually vote
― Number None, Monday, 16 January 2017 07:52 (seven years ago) link
yeah they dont theyve said as much but if they were to or maybe mac and frank were moved to by trump
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 January 2017 13:15 (seven years ago) link
In The Gang Run For Office, i believe they refer to themselves or the gang as running as republicans. Got to assume these fictional characters would be anti hilary and pro trump.
― plums (a hoy hoy), Monday, 16 January 2017 14:42 (seven years ago) link
there's no way half of these characters are registered to vote and prob think that luring people to voting locations is some sort of conspiracy
― mh 😏, Monday, 16 January 2017 15:04 (seven years ago) link
frank is probably still writing in some disgraced politician of yesteryear in if he does vote

"The GangVotes for Trump"
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 January 2017 15:20 (seven years ago) link
Dennis and Dee sort of fancy themselves progressives I think. Mac deffo a Trump man, Frank probably. Charlie surely doesn't have a clue.
― chap, Monday, 16 January 2017 17:13 (seven years ago) link
dennis and dee are def liberalish but i think trump's chauvinism might have been a attraction to dennis

I hope Trump is just D.E.N.N.I.S.ing America, since it means eventually he'll Separate Entirely.
― evol j, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 14:21 (seven years ago) link
surely someone else will M.A.C. and we'll be left with Frank's scraps (it's not an acronym )
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 15:16 (seven years ago) link
Charlie can't read, probably won't vote
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 16:26 (seven years ago) link
jeez if we can't wanna bang hot chicks i guess we're all dennis

god I'm sifting through the seasons I fell behind on, started with ten yesterday, and went to the group dating ep and was dying every time Frank blew the whistle and they aborted.
still nothing funnier than when Frank pulls out a gun tho
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 17:50 (seven years ago) link

Haha, is that the one where he does a pep talk something like "all we gotta do is get our names right", then goes up to a girl and says "Hi, I'm Frack"?

hahaha yes

S11 was really top quality, I don't think there was really a bad episode in the bunch. And the 2-part finale is some kind of apex, esp the second half.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:11 (seven years ago) link
I'm hard-pressed to think of a live-action show that has been as consistently good for as long as Sunny. Cheers, maybe?
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:17 (seven years ago) link
nah Cheers quality drops significantly after Long leaves imo

Just looking through episode descriptions and you might be right. 9 and 10 were very patchy on the other hand iirc.
― chap, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:50 (seven years ago) link
can't contain my excitement at the upcoming episode entitled "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer"
though this is even more twisted:
"Wolf Cola: A Public Relations Nightmare" (Airs January 25, 10 PM ET/PT) Franks Fluids LLC is in big trouble after a news segment shows Wolf Cola has become the official drink of Boko Haram.

i dont really like when they go high concept, the ski ep, the cruise ship etc, gets a lil schticky
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 19:16 (seven years ago) link
no mention of macs out gayness yet this season

the revolutionary war one was good imo xp

yeah he was only temporarily "out" during brief period when he thought there was no god. But God then proceeded to sink the ship etc.

some of the best eps are high-concept too, though maybe in a different way - like "dennis work" and "the gang tries to win an award" are both pretty high-concept
imo the show is consistently inconsistent. each season has a couple of duds, a couple of gems, and a bunch of pretty good eps.
― na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 19:28 (seven years ago) link
really appreciate the occasional reminder of how bad they are at running the bar, like the one from a recent season where Charlie steps up to the task of passing a health inspection despite the fact everyone else is trying to run some tainted meat scam

man the ski trip episode is a classic, for this scene alone:

that's "charlie work," which is what i meant to type before instead of "dennis work"
― na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
for some reason I thought a previous episode was Charlie Work! but yeah, a+

feel like some of the earlier episodes that originated stupid recurring gags get shortchanged in lists. I have a soft spot for "The Gang Gets Invincible" even if the whole green man persona was gimmicky
the reveal that Frank's entire acid trip took place while he was standing in a trash can really established his whole unreliable narrator persona
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 19:38 (seven years ago) link
kind of want them to bring back Lil' Kev again as a successful rapper
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 19:44 (seven years ago) link
my favorite sunny moment is in the intervention episode when they tell frank the bar is on fire and he comes in with his gun out yelling "where's the fire!?!!?" that whole episode is great tho.
also someone pointed out in the comments section of that gawker list that pepe silvia is likely charlie trying to read pennsylvania. i had never thought of that before.
