The Three Funniest Moments From It’s Always Sunny’s“The ANTI-Social Network”

After going on a Hell of a tear for the first half of this season that had me thinking It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia was experiencing a renaissance, the gang decided to lay this shitty egg in my lap. It wasn’t hard picking the three funniest moments from this episode because they were the only times I laughed. Bleh.

I’ve made no secret of my disdain for Mac, who I find as necessary to the show as a third tit. So the fact he had one of the funniest moments from last night’s show was a little disheartening. Still, I have to give credit where credit is due, and the man’s explanation of the Internet’s impact made me laugh.

The whole world is connected now! It’s all connected by Bill Gates and that Rain Man Zuckerberg. He and his Jews have connected the whole world and now they’re toppling regimes. And Egypt and Japan and the Jews are all peaceful together…(trails off)

What, Papageorgiou enjoyed a Jew joke? Flabbergasting! And, for the record, it isn’t racism if you’re saying something nice about a people. I’ve never had one of my black friends shush me when I went on about the fact I could use their mandhood to drill an oil well.

Yep, Mac had not one but two of the episode’s big laughs. Never a good sign. He and Dee adding a Facebook friend – then repeatedly mashing the “refresh” button to see if their friend request had been accepted – spoke to me on a very visceral level, though. You see, whenever I go out and actually plan to talk to women, I need to get really, really drunk. The problem that arises from that is the zone where I’m fearless and charming is two drinks from me being a slurring, forgetful mess. So if I’m able to actually halt the night’s carousing in time to remember your name the next day and then use it to stalk you on Facebook, the least you could do is accept my friend request. Don’t be a cunt about it, okay, m’lady?

Here it is, the biggest laugh from “The ANTI-Social Network.” Dennis and Charlie have entered a police station and filed a false report in an attempt to obtain a police artist’s sketch of a man they’re searching for. The plan backfires and, in order to avoid being kicked out, they wing it and allege that Dennis was raped by a male assailant. Dennis’ pride, however, won’t let him come off as too passive a victim. So he makes the following assertions on the fly, all which had me howling:

“He barely made it in there.”

“He did make it inside me, but, like, just barely.”

“The guy was super-small, so I’m fine.”

The entire time, Charlie is refuting Dennis’ claims, testifying to the assailant’s girth and insisting that the rapist “Really made soup of [Dennis’] insides.” What can I say? If it isn’t a Jew joke, it’s a man-on-man rape joke that sets me off. Mine is a refined taste. Why, I laughed so hard that I nearly dropped my monocle into my caviar.
