Been flicking through some episodes today, some of my favourites and then some of the ones I musn't have rewatched so much. f***ing gold.
Things that I saw today that I either had forgotten about or found way funnier on this rewatch:
- Frank getting sick from eating the crow - "I dug it up, I thought it would taste like chicken but I was wrooong"
- Frank and the Yellow Jackets doo wop gang - "Of course we sing, we're a gang"
- found this disproportionately funny and still pissing myself when I think about it now
- Dee's funeral for the baby when she gets audited and the constant references to Wolf Cola
- Mac's failed dance-off against Dennis during the dance marathon (one of my favourite episodes)
- Frank as "The Warthog" and insisting he eats the sushi off the Japanese bird, and Dennis suggesting he'll f*** the Asian kid when he's Brian LeFevre
for some reason never appreciated how immense this episode was til now.
- The more general fact that whenever the gang want to put on a show of some kind (Wrestles for the Troops, Nightman Cometh etc) it's always a packed house full of people who are really invested in the s*** they're doing
- Ben the soldier and the fact he wears the jean shorts in every scene
- The Chinese pizza delivery guy and Frank trading a bite of his hot dog for the guy's towel during Mac & Charlie: White Trash
- The rum ham
- Frank and his "Nikki Potnick" badge
- Dennis' room during the escape room episode
- Frank's Brother being a pretty dull episode on the whole but "I'm gonna open a jazz joint of my own, an integrated place, where blacks and whites can get along. No Orientals though" had me f***ing buckled
I could probably go on and on and likely will when I spool round some more episodes tomorrow, but what a f***ing show man. So consistently funny.
