oh yeah, i love the always sunny book! my favourite parts are the insane cringe-inducing mischaracterization present in every single one of the "audio transcription" sections, the prioritization of shocking, edgy, gross-out humour over actual funny jokes... and you know, i gotta give props to the admirable work of reducing characters to one singular bit, especially charlie's cheese thing, which, while funny in small doses, is absolutely HYSTERICAL when talked about nonstop over several hundred pages. also love the implication that charlie regularly disposes of corpses for the gang. and the addition of slurs in a book that came out in 2015, long after the show dropped their usage, is also really cool.

but at least dennis

#the stuff written by frank was honestly hard to read at times #theres a part where the editor chimes in and insults charlie's voice which is like. man.#its wild bc half the book was kind of funny and half felt like it was written by an edgy teenager #unless i was completely misreading the implication. charlie got hard talking about cheese. and ate literal shit.#THERES JUST A CERTAIN POINT YOU NEED TO STOP #the gang being outrageous is nothing new but it didnt feel like them half the time ykwim #especially when half of it actively goes against canon #its little things like mac saying that he's made 'fours of people' throw up and that they called him crazy #but in mac & den break up the only one who argues w the idea that apple skin isnt poisonous is dee #charlie frank and dennis not only go along with it but den & frank appreciate him looking out for them #JUST. LITTLE THINGS.#like. ur telling me dennis doesnt remember maureens name??? and its not a bit?? he specifically brought her up by name in MFGM #and if this is meant to be during s9 or 10 he still regularly sees her and pays alimony #i would trust any fanfic author over whoever wrote this book im ngl #fanfic authors wouldn't forget that dee majored in psych and dennis minored in psych #also like. this also happens to be a critique of mine with the later seasons of the show as well #but when theyre TOO unbelievably cartoonishly criminal it takes me out of it #i may not like it. but i can believe that dennis 'accidentally' killed maureen. one body... sure.#but implying that all of them regularly kill people and get away with it... nah man. i dont buy it
