#fuck you rcg

I dunno what it is about The Gang Goes Bowling but all those minute Macdennis interactions still have me going insane, a little feral. Like that was the line, they’ve completely crossed line from subtlety and stumbled into way too obvious and now I must see them fuck on screen.

[macdenism]

watching blooper reels and I just. I can’t physically handle the way glenn looks at rob when he’s laughing. everyone breaks and laughs and glenn immediately looks at rob. with his face so. I CAN’TTTT

[dennisboobs]

some of you should not speak on dennis until you've rewatched sunny in full instead of just the macden-centric eps.

This is how dragons will look at you while there's a face-up Field Spell on the field.

i’ve said it before and better but literally. clip show “now you’re infecting my memory with your memory, and i can’t even remember my own life correctly” . that’s what happens with roller rink. we Know of course that’s not what happened. it’s Them telling the story, there’s some element of they truly believe this happened, that’s how They remember it, but on some level they’re each aware this is all their fantasies. it’s like. remember when i was cool and nice and successful and you all liked me and yeah i do remember that of course i remember that. it’s warmer and softer. they’re almost fifty and still Stuck. it would hurt too much. they were always destined to end up like this. but remember when we weren’t. it was some cruel twist of fate that made us like that do you remember. i remember! life was Good. we both know it wasn’t. and we both know it isn’t now. but that’s what memories do, you can twist them into something more comfortable. something that fits with your current narrative. “you can’t do this. every time you misremember something you like run the risk of altering reality …. i’m saying like how you remember something sort of like, becomes reality …. no it doesn’t change reality. reality is reality i’m just saying it becomes your reality” so let’s make this our reality. let’s play pretend.

NO it hits too close to home

[trillgutterbug]

good stuff in the podcast today guys

[gregmarriage]

always sunny was actually soooo sick for having dee tell mac that he should get a boyfriend (while glancing at dennis)

then, literally the NEXT season, mac has a boyfriend and it’s DENNIS.

except, it’s dennis posing as someone else, and getting jealous of HIMSELF. truly incredible television fr

[kidrunaway]

seeing the babyfication of RK makes me scream in the most negative way possible.

[charmac]

I do not think I'll ever get over how heavy handed the Inflates set decor was

[rqlaji2]

Scrolling through the shawn michaels tag is hitting the exact same nerve dennis does

[psymachine]

ok if anyone actually ends up writing it, please tag me or send the link so i can partake✌️

hey if someone wants they could write a fic where dennis sets out to master lucid dreaming -- mostly so he can have sex with jackie denardo and/or other hot women -- and it's going pretty well except that he can't figure out how to stop mac from showing up in the sex dreams and becoming increasingly involved

[dennisboobs]

my favourite thing about the always sunny podcast is listening to rcg all say something extremely neurodivergent and then agree amongst themselves and convince themselves its completely normal

In 2017, I watched “The Gang Tends Bar” as it aired live, and it’s all kind of a blur but I remember three things very clearly:

Sunnyblr was POPPING. To this day, I still see TGTB posts floating around with 10k notes and they are all still so fucking good. My beautiful relics of an absolutely insane time.

Airing A Crickets Tale that very next week is probably one of the most chaotic things that was happening to Tumblr at that time. We were all like, “Mmm, thanks for whatever that was, RCG! So yummy! Now can we have another helping of repressed middle-aged gay men?” and they said, “Okay, sure! Here’s more of that but make it foreboding,” and aired “Dennis’ Double Life” the very next week after THAT.

I didn’t sleep the night TGTB aired. I was a freshman in college and I went to class the next day and just stared at nothing during my lecture because I was so blown away by it. At 18, it was one of the most formative experiences I’ve ever had with television. Raw, emotional moments have always been so much more impactful to me in comedic shows. I still consider it one of the most romantic episodes of any show I’ve ever seen. I’m 25 now, and I have never forgotten the way I felt the first time I saw this episode. My life is entirely different now from February of 2017, but my feelings about TGTB are exactly the same if not intensified.

Bonus Big Feelings:

Once you’ve watched “Dennis’ Double Life,” TGTB reads so differently—it hurts so much more. Because you know how it ends for them and you never get closure. YOU NEVER GET CLOSURE.

Something about Glenn’s hair being outstandingly hot in S12 really brought everything together, that year + heightened the pining. He would do something and we’d all be like “ok work!”

Season 16 is the closest I’ve felt to Season 12 levels of deranged. I think this makes sense since S16, stylistically, reminds me the most of classic Sunny and somehow, also, every macden fic I’ve ever read.

I never had a good reference point for whether other people outside of Sunnyblr read that episode as incredibly queer, or Just Guys Being Dudes, but most of my comms class watched this show, and we were all foaming at the mouth talking about it the next day. Everyone was like, “Oh my god! It’s getting gayer! We won!”

Reflecting on where I was in life when TGTB, and when this most recent season aired, I can’t help but wonder where we’ll all be if they touch noses. Season 24 is our seasons guys.

Seeing all the reviews and other random stuff about s16 has me so happy and grateful for the fucking Sunny Pod of all things. Like RCG really watched earlier seasons and went “hmm I miss this actually we should get back to these vibes again”. And then they actually really did????? Thank You Sunny Pod for your Service.

Also how the fuck did Dennis leave Brian jr and never even mentions him or visits him??? Like hi rcg what are you doing? I know Dennis is emotionally unstable but the look in his eyes when he held Brian jr was so so incredibly like sad. My only hope as to why he doesn’t bring up Brian jr is because he thinks he is such an awful person that Brian jr shouldn’t even know him. But still. HEARTBREAKING.
