So that explains where all the production budget went. I suspected it for a while.
Great episode. My favorite part was Dee's Mister Magoo antics. Loved Rex getting all paunchy too. I hope the actor didn't get out of shape for this role. I hear there are techniques a fit person can use to bloat up temporarily to look paunchy. They use them for those before and after photos you see in fitness ads.

What bugged me was Charlie not even bothering to get out of the bear trap. I don't know how they work, but all he had to do is pry it open, right?
Didn't you see the part where he did get out? You disarm them by pulling down a release lever. Charlie didn't escape because he is an idiot and forgot about the release lever.

I know this is “Sunny,” but I have to ask: how could Charlie still have a leg after losing all that blood and being in the trap for at least 24 hours? If it turns out Charlie dreamt the whole episode, I could buy that without too much complaint.
Frank lost a lot more blood in "Frank Retires".

I hate to say it but I am starting to think that if they are going to go down this road they should probably just end the show. If Apu is offensive because on the surface he is a stereotype and is voiced by someone who doesn't share that background, well then that definition fits most of the characters. Will "The problem with Smithers" be next? The show plays with stereotypes yes but it is not hard, at least for me to see that they are satire. Hell Homer is a fat, lazy stupid American.
The whole thing reminds me of Speedy Gonzalez, also a huge stereotype voiced by someone not Mexican. Cartoon network started pulling Speedy cartoons in the 90's only to have Latin-American groups speak out against the move and say they actually liked Speedy. I wonder if there will be anything similar from Indian people who appericate the Apu character and how well he is developed?
Why don't the people offended by Apu just not watch the show? It's the stupidest thing. Media depicts too much sex, or makes fun of religious faith, and some people say "if you don't like it, just don't watch". The same media depicts something that makes them uncomfortable, and the same people say "destroy it!!!!". So many people get so fixated on making everything conform directly to whatever makes them most comfortable. Apu is a long lasting beloved character. Why should we cave in to a vocal minority? If they don't like Apu, they have the option of cancelling him from their lives.

I liked this episode. It was more creative than just The Gang sitting around talking. It had some great physical comedy. Knowing how crazy sports fans, especially Philadelphia sports fans can be, made it funnier.

It's the weekend of Super Bowl LII from Charlie's perspective. While Charlie searches the back office, Cricket steals the suit leaving Charlie home alone to defend himself.
That second sentence is confusing. What is "the suit"? I'm guessing Green Man, although I feel like they left a couple words out of that sentence.

All the actors also have other side projects going on, this show's starting to seem like an afterthought.
Yes! That's exactly what I've been thinking.

I wonder if they actually put anything obscene on that poster Mac made or if it's just normal stuff that they pixel blurred.

There were a few lines worth a chuckle, but this was pretty dull.
Do the actors just demand really high salaries which leaves no money left for production? Is that why it's always so cheap?

Jimmy Buffett is in town and the positive vibes are alive at the bar. However, when Mac comes out of the women's bathroom, no one can leave until the bathroom situation is solved.
I'm not optimistic about this one. Sounds like another bottle episode with obnoxious political jokes.

Here's a screenshot of Frank's license. I don't know if that's Devito's character from Taxi, but it's definitely a younger Danny Devito.

Homer (authoritatively): "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!"
Guy in bathroom stall: "That's a RIGHT triangle you idiot!"
Homer: "DOH!".
I love the pacing of this scene and how quickly and aggressively the random guy in the stall corrects him.

woods porn is a thing! look it up...
I know that, but in 2018?

Was that Danny Devito's character from Taxi on Frank's license?
I loved Dee essentially turning into a female Dennis after driving a Range Rover. That group of rich bitches was perfect for Dee. I wish that could have lasted longer, but her overreaction was terrific. Also I had forgotten about them shooting up Dennis' car with the RPG. I thought that was just random vandalism.
Frank's old school pornography stash in the woods was strange. Besides the antiquated nature of magazine porn, why would he hide it?

Finally a decent episode.
- Multiple locations.
- No heavy handed social message.
- More characters outside The Gang.
Next week it looks like we're back to the same old thing though, with The Gang hanging around the bar making heavy handed jokes about transgender issues. This has been a really weak season. Where did all their money go?

Well yea but here's why she doesn't. It doesn't make for "bragging" videos. I personally think she should do outdoor walking or swimming but a treadmill would work too
I am skeptical about the efficacy of outdoor walking. I never do it because I know I'm not moving at a particularly good pace. I need that treadmill to govern my speed. It ensures I'm doing a brisk 4 MPH walk instead of a casual 2 MPH stroll. On the other hand, treadmills do have weight limits and for good reason. The one I use at my gym is only rated to 400 pounds. I'm 265 pounds so I'm good, but I used to own a really shitty, cheap treadmill that was only rated to 250 pounds. I burned out the motor after about 10 workouts and had to throw it away.
So maybe outdoor walking would be a good start for Whitney. In her condition she probably couldn't keep up a 4 MPH pace for more than quick bursts and might be better off at 2 to 2.5 MPH. But if she hurts her feet in even minor ways that could disrupt her rhythm. I'm thinking primarily of blisters. I have intermittent problems with blisters. I find with exercise it's good not to overtax yourself so that you can keep a rhythm and turn it into a habit.
18 hours ago, ClareWalks said:With a modified jumping jack, you don't actually jump, you just extend one side's arm and leg at once, then switch to the other, back and forth. It still moves the whole body like a jumping jack but it removes the impact. Whitney should not be doing ANY high impact exercises, or she will be looking at knee/hip replacements within 5 years at her weight (and that's if a doctor would even do one)
If she did it on some sort of gym mat to cushion the blow of the landing would it be safer?

Well, it's unlikely to be a bottle episode!
Yes, finally. Although from the description I read on TV Guide, next week's probably is.

They've also done a ton of bottle episodes throughout the seasons. I'd have to watch the episodes again, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that at least 10% and up to 30% of the episodes are bottle episodes.
Here is every episode that has aired so far, from most recent to the pilot. Bottle episodes are in bold. There are 137 episodes.

They've always done political and topical humor. I would be more surprised if they didn't reference current events.
Which is fine, but everyone is doing it, and always in such heavy handed ways. It gets tiring after a while.

I feel like maybe if Whitney is trying to exercise for her health, she should stick to something simple, like something on a machine. Treadmill, elliptical, stair climber. Something that is just a lot of repetitive motion. People are talking a lot about how she has "bad form". I don't know exactly what that means, but it's hard to screw up something like walking or climbing a set of stairs.
I could never do variety exercises like she does. I just can't focus. I need to get on a machine and do one thing for 45 minutes. I prefer the treadmill personally.

People were talking about Whitney's love of Froot Loops in another thread. It gave me an irresistible desire for Froot Loops.
Man, those things trigger off some kind of ravenous hunger in me. So sweet and crunchy. As soon as I eat any, I want more. I guess it's a good thing that I stopped eating sugary cereals long ago.

Not feeling this season at all. Pretty much awful and zero funny. The writing, instead of being aimed at funny haha, is geared at being self referential. This way the show nerd/fanboys, who must be studying some kind of IASIP bible all night and day, get their satisfaction from exclusively being 'in on the joke'.
Well, I don't remember the thing that Charlie said to Dee in episode 7 of season 3 that they now trotted out ten seasons later, but sure as shit the faboi's do and think it's all hysterical.
I haven't really noticed that aspect specifically. I've been annoyed at all the attempts at political and topical humor. At least during the previous presidential administration, if you didn't want to think about politics you didn't have to. Now it gets shoved down your throat left and right because entertainers either think it's important or they want to blow off some kind of steam and think their viewers are sympathetic ears.
Also, that's TWO bottle episodes in a row. They must have some really expensive episodes coming up. Hopefully they have a good one revolving around the Eagles at the Superbowl.

S13.E09: The Gang Wins The Big Game
in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
I had heard the Eagles fight song before, since I grew up in Eagles territory (Delaware). Since this episode aired, it has been playing in my head a lot. Just today I realized that the lyrics don't make sense. They say "Fly Eagles Fly on the road to victory". Problem is... things that are flying don't use roads.
