It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dennis and Dee Go On Welfare/Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom

(S02E03/S02E04) If I had to guess, this show probably offends a lot of people. I think it offends me a little which is probably why I like it so much. So let's dive right in. I will say that I like this two episodes in a row thing but I'm pretty sure it slips back to just one episode next week. Anyway, the first episode was a little misleading. Dennis and Dee didn't actually go on welfare. They tried and ended up becoming crack-heads. Hence they're sunken eyes and saddened faces in the above picture. I believe the saying goes, "crack is whack." Ahh, if only they had known.

See, Frank had been really getting on his kids nerves. He kept making Dennis and Dee do work around the bar (gasp!). So they got sick of it and realized they could collect unemployment and make more than working at Paddy's. After the unemployment ran out (not sure why, it only seemed like a day or two went by), they decided to feign crack-addiction and mental retardation to collect welfare. However, they needed medical records to back it up and since neither of them had done crack before... well, you see where this going. The scene when they first went to buy some was hilarious though. "I'll take two crack rocks? Rocks of crack? Um, two please."

Meanwhile, to hide money from his ex-wife's lawyer, Frank opens a bank account in Charlie's name. Bad idea. Mac and Charlie proceeded to use the money to rent a limo, buy tuxedos with top hats, champagne, hookers, and who knows what else. After all was said and done, Frank promoted Charlie to manager because Charlie showed initiative by stealing the money. He likes that go-getter attitude. These people might be my heroes.

The second episode was even better, probably the best It's Always Sunny... episode yet if you ask me. It was just so well written and honestly, pretty intricate if you think about it. You actually had to pay attention and curb your laughing to grab all the important points. See it all started after Mac banged Dennis' mom. Duh.

Dennis found out and in an effort to get back at him, he tried to sleep with Mac's mom. She rejected him though, not good looking in her book. But there was more to it and I'm positive I'll never explain it properly. Now that Charlie is manager, he makes Dennis and Dee do all the grunt work. Dennis wanted no more of it. So he took Charlie's crush (remember that waitress from the first season?) on a date and threatened Charlie. He said he'd sleep with her if Charlie didn't call off the grunt work. Ugh... I've already confused myself.

So Charlie and Dee concocted some plan and somehow the waitress ended up sleeping with Frank to get back at Dennis, because she thought Dennis was sleeping with multiple old women. I think that makes sense.

Alright, that's enough. Trust me when I say that it was an absolutely fantastic episode and don't take my confusion the wrong way. It was good. If anyone wants to try and explain better than I did in the comments, please do.

Dennis (in a sing-songy voice to Mac): "Wahhhh, wahhh, I don't know how to take advantage of government programs."

Charlie (behind his desk, talking to a calculator): "What are you?"
