If this was your first episode to check out It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you may have been completely shocked. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is obviously a show that is willing to be completely disgusting but this episode was nuts. As much as it made me laugh, I thought it was even less believable than the episode where Sinbad and Rob Thomas were at a hospital with Dennis in his dreams. For that to be more believable than this episode, it sort of explains how ridiculous it was.
That being said, when the show was working tonight, it was working. Among the new classic scenes tonight was seeing Dee and Dennis drinktequilaout of the sunscreen bottles and seeing Charlie drink sunscreen out of the bottle, seeing the dogs everywhere in Jersey Shore (even the hospital) and Rum Ham, a new food invention that Frank makes up. The gang splits into three groups in this episode, with Dee and Dennis attempting to have the fun they had in Jersey Shore years before and finding it very sketchy and empty, Frank and Mac floating around in the ocean, getting lost and then getting picked up by a boat full of guidos and Charlie exploring the beach, meeting the Waitress and having a fun night exploring with her. The Dee/Dennis plot ends with them high on angel dust, following around a bunch of high maniacs who shoot and kill a doctor and bury him on the beach.
These plots are as insane as they sound and no, none of these plotlines were dream sequences. For me, this show shouldn't be judged for being unrealistic because it's so nuts in the first place, but this was the first time in awhile I felt like saying, "Man, this was just too weird." It was funny, yes, but very, very weird.
At least we got one thing out of the episode: rum ham is a perfectly acceptable party favor.
