It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Is This Thread Gay for God? You Betcha!
» 67
I love how there's one bar patron in the middle of the crowd who fucking loves Dayman. Did anyone else notice this? There's a guy clapping along rather enthusiastically while everyone else boos and hisses.
This was my favorite episode so far this season. And running Hundred Dollar Baby with it was just a treat. I love that episode. "I'll eat your babies, bitch!"
Oh, yes, the band episode was one of the funniest ever. Unfortunately I started watching it while my eight-year-old was still awake, who (I am glad to say) did not "get" the lyrics to "Night Man" even though I could hardly breathe from laughing so hard--but when Mac was like, "dude, this song is about a guy coming in through your window and..." I had to pause it right there ("right! time for bed!") and finish it myself later. Oh my god, that episode was off the hook. One of my favorites. And the ending was perfect. Perfect! So who's retarded now?
I don't let my 5 and 8 year olds anywhere near this show. I was watching it on Tivo and laughing so hard they kept coming to the door to see what was so funny. I would instantly pasue and holler NOT A KID SHOW and not play again until they left the vicinity. Nightman is the funnist thing on my TV in a long while.
Meanwhile, I just watched this episode last night and damned if it wasn't the funniest thing I've seen this young TV season. Just... wow. Just so funny. Agreed, from start to finish.
Sheer brilliance. Charlie huffs his way to the songwriting hall of fame, and Dennis embraces his inner '80s Euro-trash self. The scene where they co-write "Day Man" is my favorite of the season so far.

Charlie has to be the best character on television right now. And I'm liking Dennis more each week.
There are so many brilliant little throwaway moments in this show that play off the way the characters interact with each other - my favorite last night was in Charlie's apartment, when he and Dennis were conjuring up the lyrics to "Day Man." Charlie's hand drifts over to the spray paint can, simultaneously looking to take a huff and offer a huff to Dennis, and Dennis snatches it away and sets it back down, neither of them missing a beat in the singing.
Charlie is almost running away with this show, but the whole ensemble is so strong. Surprisingly, I really like the way Frank comes through as a guy who's actively trying to be crazy, but isn't. He sobered up real fast when he found out his credit card was on the line.
these lyrics...You really *can* interpret them Charlie's way (with the Night Man coming into his room in the night and inhabiting him) or Mac's way (with the Night Man coming into his room in the night and, well, you know). Oh God, now I'm laughing again.
This just may be the best comedy on television right now. It comes down to laughs. These aren't chuckles or grins the show gets out of me (like most comedies). It's laughing with tears in my eyes. The look on Frank's face when he finds out the hotel has his credit card, the lyrics sheet, the way Night Man forms into a masochistic gay fantasy (without Charlie being the least bit aware), the choreographed moves to the performance of Day Man and Dee being put down are heavy duty laughs. This has always been an underappreciated show but it's time it receive a lot more recognition. Not since Andy Millman burst in on his agent masturbating, have I laughed as hard as when Charlie uncorks the line about the Night Man coming inside.
