Papa’s Basement 10-10-11-iZombie
So you’re taking a jab at a beloved American icon and the title is a reference to an obscure horror film you and three other people have seen. Way to […]
Last week’s episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (a show that tends to be given either too much or too little – and never the right amount – of credit), featured an exchange that made me laugh until my throat was hoarse for days. I want to type it out for you now because YouTube got all litigious and yanked the clip in question from their site yesterday, so this is as good as it’s gonna get for you all. Here are Frank and Dennis Reynolds discussing Dennis’ “God Hole.”
Hey, so I was thinking about my title. Because I think it should be “Vice President of Worldwide Distribution.”
But you don’t need a title. What I need you to do for the next three weeks is to deflect Mac and Charlie.
That’s easy. I can do that, Frank. That’s what I’m good at. But I am going to need a business card, ’cause I want to be able to hand that shit to people so they know that I’m in a place of power.
It’s not important!
(angered) It’s important to me, Frank! And I know that what’s important to you is money and power. But I don’t want power. Because, with real power comes real responsibility. And I don’t want any of that shit. I just want the money. And the illusion of power…and puss.
What? Yeah?
Hell, I don’t know, Frank. I don’t know, man.
What…tell me. Tell me.
I need something. I mean, I got this, uh, this giant, gaping hole inside me. And I’m…I’m always trying to fill it with something. I like to call it my, uh…my “God Hole.” And I think a lot of people in this world, they…they fill it with religion. But I don’t believe in God.
(completing Dennis’ thought) But you want to fill it with pussy.
(smiling) Yeah.
This post will probably end up being one of those times where none of you are amused by the content, but I don’t care. Because, like Dennis, I also have a God Hole. I fill it with Netflix and porn and Twitter and this stupid website. I know where the man’s coming from. And what about you? What do you fill your God Hole with? I’d like to hear. Unless the answer is “God.” Because that’s just boring.

I fill my god hole with masturbation. A lot of it. I have never received an orgasm from a man during sex but my vibrator gets it right every time. I also fill my god hole with my dog Annabelle, friends and family, It’s Always Sunny, more masturbation, and soon I’ll be filling it with my career, too. Oh, and so much weed.

So this is 9 years old. I’m going to tell you a little story anyway, because this episode hit me so hard. I am 50 years old, and a successful man. I live in a very nice house. I sleep in a bedroom in the basement. Most nights I sleep next to a laptop with Hulu playing while I sleep. Usually I have it playing ASIP. I like the show, and i find the distinct voices comforting as i drift off to sleep. Occasionally while I sleep i will hear something that startles me awake. It can be especially loud noises, or yelling, but sometimes it is the content of conversations that seems to reach into my brain and nudge me. Last night it was the “God Hole” conversation. It sunk into my subconscious and jarred me awake so hard that I was awake for hours. This concept not only so perfectly defines the Dennis Reynolds character, but it exactly describes the phenomenon that has caused my life to spiral out of control. My wife loves me, despite my addictions. The reason I sleep in the basement is because I have, do, and probably will attempt to fill my God Hole with pussy. It is a hole that cannot be filled, and a door once opened, nearly impossible to close. It is the very reason God exists. There is a book by Viktor Frankl – Mans Search for Meaning – which explains it in more depth. Take it from me… every bit of pussy thrown into a God Hole will consume something else. The hole will not close, but the self-loathing it creates may eventually destroy you. I have new pity for Dennis Reynolds, and new respect for the show. What an incredible moment betweenhe and Frank. I’ve probably watched the scene five times over the years, but never HEARD it until I was asleep
