It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 13

[Ferris]

I really enjoyed that, though I think community did something very similar a few years back...

[Mobius]

Decent enough episode. After 140 episodes you can't really begrudge them a clip show, and at least they did something different with it.

[AsparagusTrevor]

Community's clip show was just clips of scenes we hadn't seen before wasn't it? I'd say this was a different enough concept, although South Park also did a clip-show involving mis-remembered stuff.

[BeardFaceMan]

Was worth it just to see the big grin on Macs face when they were doing the Seinfeld memory.

[notjosh]

Clerks: The Animated Series did a clip show in its second episode, including flashbacks to earlier in that episode.

[MortSahlFan]

I don't like the bandwagon of shows doing Trump, gender, toilets, etc.... but, I'll always watch the show, since I've seen every episode.. I'm off to season Episode 7.

I think my favorite episode was the real estate one.. That was social commentary, but done in a smart, funny way (and more important tan toilets). Does anyone know that title?

[Ja'moke]

The clip show episode was the funniest of the season so far, mainly for the Seinfeld scene and Frank's long fantasy legs.

Yes, Community once did the spoof clip show episode, but this was a different kind of spin on it. Plus Megan Ganz, Always Sunny writer/exec producer, used to work on Community, so maybe she felt it was ok to take inspiration from that idea.

[selectivememory]

Yeah, agreed with the general consensus here that that was a very good episode. It's just enjoyable to see them mess with the format and get a bit meta and knowing with it. Plus, it was very funny, so all other considerations aside, it was a successful episode just for that alone.

Frank's long legs and hair had me laughing so hard it sounded a bit weird. Ditto the Seinfeld skit.

So It's Come To This

[Bhazor]

Great idea but the setup was way too long taking 8 minutes of a 20 minute episode.

But the squealing Charlie and leggy Frank were the biggest laughs of the season so far for me.

Exactly. They should have got on with the joke quicker. Also thought the Dennis not-wanting-to-live-with-Mac thing was oddly humourless.

[JamesTC]

Kind of disappointed it turned out to partially be a clip show. Was hoping the whole thing was going to be misremembered moments.

Was a clip show enforced for budget reasons?

A joke completely ruined when it originally aired out of order, before the original first episode which it takes clips from.

Great episode though.

[New Jack]

Has there been a show with fake clips that were entirely original yet packaged as not so?

Cause if Friends is the only show that's done it, comedy has failed

Community did it, see above.

I'm guessing it had something to do with Glenn Howerton's schedule conflicts which a few of the episodes were written around, most noticeably the 'Wade Boggs Challenge 2.0' episode which didn't feature him at all. I figure filming material for a clip show while he's available is an easier way to include him in an episode without all the complications of doing something with him on a grander scale.

[AsparagusTrevor]

It wasn't a proper clip show though was it, it was about 80% newly filmed stuff. Although for the second week in a row it was set almost entirely in the bar which might've been for budget/scheduling reasons.

[Carpool Dragon]

And next week's episode is (supposedly) a Charlie-only episode (Home Alone parody).

I'm feeling like this is the case for most of the season, due to Glenn's commitments to his other show. Lots of bottle-styled episodes, or episode where he's not in it that much. I like the creativity they've shown so far though, although this particular episode didn't work for me due to the length of the lead in, and then the concept going weird and nonsensical. Worth watching for Seinfeld (double Jerry!) and Frank's long legs, though.

[Chollis]

Frank's long legs was defo the best bit this week

[New Jack]

New episode was cute. I like solo Charlie. Not brilliant, and doesn't seem like they're "not" writing around Howerton's absence... but it's a good Charlie episode

It's in my Onedrive if you don't doxx me

Ooh, thanks for that, it's hugely appreciated.

[Frank Stallone]

Can't believe, including tonight's episode, there's only 3 left this season. It's absolutely flown by this year.

[Small Man Big Horse]

I loved tonight's episode but the folks on Reddit seem to really dislike it, which is odd.

[Ferris]

I wasn't a huge fan actually. Charlie is such a likeable character; this kind of body-horror/Saw stuff doesn't play well. Just makes me sad :(

Paint can slapstick though.

[neveragain]

Thought there was some joyous comedy in this but after Charlie got stuck it did turn into something else (a tad horrorish), enjoyable but not your average Sunny.

[Sebastian Cobb]

What's the legitimate purpose of the plug-in heating element both Charlie and Kevin hung round the door handle? They just look really dangerous and something that shouldn't be sold.
