How the fuck are we not talking about the Jersey Shore Episode?
This season is fucking insane.
I'm hoping the rest of the season is just as crazy as these first two episodes have been. The (homeless guy) sex, drugs, and violence (Dee's braid getting torn off was cringe worthy) have really ramped up. Also, Rum Ham should become a new recurring character.
I felt really bad for Charlie at the end, although he seemed happy just to have spent one night with the Waitress (I wonder if he even knows her name? No one else does, and he always refers to her as the Waitress.).
Speaking of Charlie, how uneducated is he, exactly? He went to school, right? How can he not be sure what the fucking OCEAN is? Does he even know the Earth is round?
Frank: "What's that sign say over there? Toxic spill?"
Mac: "Just ignore it, Frank. It's liberal propaganda."
Frank: "Where's Rum Ham? Rum Ham! RUM HAM! I'M SORRY!"

is there even such a thing?
I thought all rum hams were cooked with rum, thus losing the alcohol.

I think he's saying that he soaked it in overproof rum. Or something. Does it really matter? It's fucking hilarious.
Also, I've said this before, but I enjoy how Sunny has transitioned from a show that relied on big huge gags to being a nuanced and consistently enjoyable show from beginning to end.
Because, really, how could you top a gag like the end of nightman?
As a Philadelphian who's always been mystified by Philadelphia's obsession with the Jersey Shore (seriously, even wealthy Philly people will just 'rent a beach house down da shore' for the summer instead of going to Europe or something. They've been there EVERY SUMMER OF THEIR ENTIRE LIFE and still talk about it like it's exotic) this was so good. It resonated on every level.
And Charlie's TARNATION YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL in the first episode made me spittake.

Waitress: Charlie I was on ecstasy.
Charlie: Wow, you're really off the wagon, aren't you?
...or something to that effect, made me double over.
I watched the extended version of Lethal Weapon 5 that's included on the Season 6 DVD last night. It was already hilarious, but then I watched the commentary by Mac, Dennis, and Charlie, and now I want every show to have in-character episode commentaries.
Here's some highlights from the Lethal Weapon 5 commentary.
*moving aerial shots of Los Angeles*
Charlie: "How'd you get those buildings to move around like that?"
Dennis: "They're not moving; the camera is. Me and Mac flew down to LA and rented a helicopter to shoot some footage."
Mac: "No we didn't..."
Dennis: "It was pretty expensive to get down there and rent a helicopter, but it was worth it because these shots came out great."
Mac: "We stole this off Youtube..."
*establishing shot of the "police station", which is just Paddy's Pub with a different sign*
Charlie: "Now where's this shot at?"
Mac: "That's Paddy's."
Charlie: "What? No way!"
*street-level footage of Murtaugh (Dennis) and Riggs (Mac) driving a car*
Dennis: "We shot this from a helicopter, too. They almost didn't let us fly that low."
*establishing shot of the "Indian casino", which is also just Paddy's with a different sign*
Charlie: "Okay, now where's this?"
Mac: "The bar you've worked at for 10 years."
The normal commentary was pretty entertaining, too, especially the one from "Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats."
Charlie Day: "PETA actually came to see us after this episode. They said 'Hey, yeah, we're fans of the show, but, uh, could you not encourage people to bash rats with sticks?' I was like, 'Yeah, I hear ya. Now, what exactly is it you like about rats?'"
I'm reading an interview with Rob McElhenney on the AV Club, and I just found out that he initially proposed for everybody to gain weight for season 7 instead of just him (everyone else refused).
Well, it looks like there's a good chance the Gang is going to end up dead when the series ends (and honestly, I don't know how I'll feel about that if it does happen).
AVC: Is the whole thing with Charlie and The Waitress making fun of the romantic arc?
RM: Yes, essentially it’s that he’s never going to get the girl. Ever. It’s not the Ross and Rachel relationship, where each week you’re sort of dangling a carrot on a stick. You just know that he’s never going to get her. It’s just kind of funny to watch him try, and you know he’s gonna fail. In the same way, you know that the characters are never going to succeed They’re never going to succeed, ever, and it’s not a secret. I’m not giving anything away. Their actions will lead to their own demise in the end.
AVC: So there’s never going to be a final episode where somebody wins the lottery or something like that?
RM: It’s just never gonna happen, and that’s not giving anything away. I mean, it’s like watching Titanic. You know the ship’s going down. You know the ship is going down at the end, and yet, you’re still interested to watch what’s happening.
AVC: And because of the way the show is, you don’t need to have a specific endpoint.
RM: Yeah, it’s just going to end at a certain point. It’s just going to come to a collapse. And I think everybody knows that it’s not going to end well. It can’t.
AVC: One or more of them will probably end up dead at some point?
RM: Well, I mean, you know. I don’t want to confirm or deny, but I don’t see how this world could possibly end well for them.

Frank's "wake face" when he walked on stage got the exact same reaction out of me as Charlie's blood puke. Could NOT. STOP. LAUGHING.

They are just ratcheting it up this season aren't they. I mean you could call Walter from a mile away, but it still was funny.
"Do not diddle kids, it's no good diddlin' kids! I wouldn't do it with anybody younger than my daughter; not a lil kid, gotta be big - older than my wife, older than my daughter, somethin like that!"
by the updated yankee doodle dandy and artemis getting high I was dead laughing.
guessed the alternate diddler thing though, too easy. low hanging fruit

Anybody else notice they drew abs on the kid?
"I think the kid probably should have worn a shirt."
I noticed the 6-pack too. That was the highlight of the episode for me. Just a tiny bit of detail that you know happened during Take 3 when one of the guys went, "Somebody give me a sharpie, this kid needs some abs!"
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKERS
"Demise" could mean more than just death. I mean, they could just as easily end up in prison or whatever. I think they're awful enough characters that ending up dead might not be the worst possible outcome.

the guys had them during that number too, I think. It was a call-back to "The Gang Wrestles For The Troops"

Yea that's the episode I thought of when I saw the kid's drawn on abs! Love this damn show.
It's not Sunny in Philadelphia, but I just found out Charlie Day is going to be one of the stars in an upcoming movie called Pacific Rim directed by Guillermo del Toro that involves people in giant robots fighting alien monsters.

Just a bit of random news.
Emphasis for holy shit. I don't care how bad this movie is, it's going to be so good.

must we always rank this shit? and so quickly
RUM HAM!
If you don't start ranking them right at the beginning it can get cumbersome towards the end of the season.
that fucking montage.
Frank and his love of the rum ham was hilarious.

I like it.

That was cracking me up too! That and the fact that he looked like the penguin.

Also, I only now caught that the rum ham floating away was playing on Wilson in Castaway.
That movie was actually way better than I thought it would be, mainly due to the trio's chemistry.
