...which is to say yes. It was "mittons" in Charlie's commercial.

[ogre]

Sooo, who wants to lone me $25???

[Moltisanti]

"I need some trash to plug up the cut."

[ogre]

The look on Frank's face when Charlie told him Dennis had eaten apple seeds was (all hyperbole aside) the greatest single thing I've ever seen in my life. It was one of those quick little throwaway moments, and I think it was immediately before one of the last commercial breaks.

[Paul755]

Had it not been for Frank and Charlie I probably would have hated this episode. Except for the apple skin, the Mac/Dennis stuff was just not doing it for me.

[Diva]

Yeah, Mac-centric episodes aren't my bag; though Dennis has had some great character-focused eps. Loved Charlie and Frank's hump dance.

[Moltisanti]

Normally I'd be leary of an episode centered more around Mac and Dennis. But between their Statham Vs. Cast of PREDATOR exchange ("Body mass alone") and the stuff at the restaurant I was digging it the whole way.

And yeah, that look Frank gave regarding the apple seeds was fantastic.

I almost died. Just the perfect, weird, shocked face.

[Humanoid]

Didn't love the Mac/Dennis stuff. The married couple gags were a bit obvious. The parts with Charlie, Frank and the cat stuck in the wall, though, were priceless.

[Rourkefan]

My brother was directly behind Mac during the entire restraunt scene. I just found out through my mom (from a extremely reliable source) that there is a slight chance the show won't shoot in Philly next year.

[Diva]

Here are some pictures of the Sunny real life married couples at the "A Very Sunny Christmas" DVD release party. What is up with Dee's head? She keeps getting skinner and her head gets bigger!

Kaitlin "Dee" Olsen and Rob "Mac" McElhenney

Charlie Day and Mary Elizabeth "the Waitress" Ellis

[Chris Miller]

Charlie looks nothing like himself without the beard. Or crazy look in his eyes.

[sin-eater]

Is it just me or is it clearly the obvious way to retrieve a cat in the wall by lower another cat via string?

Still can't quite believe that's him. And I loves me some Sweet Dee but she needs to eat a sandwich, or thirty.

[BillyG]

That really might have been one of my top five episodes right there. Everyone was perfect, the running jokes were priceless (Danny DeVito's face when Charlie told him Dennis ate apple seeds, holy shit).

What's up with Mac's right foot?

[Teitr Styrr]

So, has anyone seen the movie "The Quiet LIttle Marriage"? It's got Charlie Day and the Waitress, and one of the crazy brothers from that threesome of brothers and sister. The Waitress had one of the staring roles, and the crazy brother on Sunny had a pretty big part. Charlie had the least amount of screentime in the movie.

I liked it well enough. I caught it on OnDemand last weekend.

I don't know about top 5, but it's definitely up there with the best of them. I don't think Dennis gets enough love from the fans and he was just amazingly good in this episode, especially the peeled apple exchange with Dee and concern over swallowing some seeds.

Also, it had Charlie claiming that the cat somehow slipped through a seam in the wall, followed by: "Cats don't abide by the laws of nature."

Dennis might be my favorite. It's always neck and neck between him and Charlie, but Dennis' ego provides so many additional laughs, where sometimes I just feel bad for Charlie and his broken brain.

Then you and I are on the same page, my friend.

I think anyone with even the tiniest bit of compassion feels no remorse when Dennis is framed for being a sex offender, but sigh a bit when they see "kitten mittons."

[Paul755]

Anyone catch "It's a Very Sunny Christmas" yet?

[Diva]

The lack of Dennis' obsession with Rick Astley has moved him down a notch in my fave Sunny characters.

Going to try and pick it up tonight or tomorrow.

I have, it might be in my top 5 episodes ever. The scene with Charlie in the mall... if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.

Also, Frank's slippery escape, Mac's christmas past, Charlie's christmas past... pretty much everything was greatness.

Oh, and Nick Sabotka from The Wire showing up was a nice treat.

[Chris Miller]

Is it going to air in any part on FX?

YES!!!!! They played that clip before "The Nightman Cometh: Live"! The entire audience was falling on the floor in paroxysms of laughter. Awesome stuff.

[Dr. Murder]

I'd bet it's even funnier if you see the build to it, but in isolation it's fucking great too.

Great to hear. I was planning on picking it up this weekend just wanted to gage if it was worth it.

I would think it's gonna show up but chopped up. Sort of how the "internet exclusive" Mac is a Serial Killer episode showed up in the regular run of the series.

[matches]

Ahh, don't spoil too much stuff from the Christmas special yet. I want to wait until around Christmas to watch it. Getting in the spirit, and what not.

[matches]

Whoa. I dated a chick named Haley left me a message exactly like that when we broke up. I wonder if she's a writer on Sunny.

ETA: Ah, it's Kailey. "".

[EnemyoftheStamos]

I've come up with some quality aliases in my time, but Mantis Toboggan is one of the best names I've ever heard.

[Dan Benenson]

My favorite parts were Dee falling down the hill then crawling away making horrible noises, and Dee getting stabbed. Dee is underrated.

[BillyG]

The MAC system seems much more effective.

[Diva]

Dee was pretty stellar tonight. "I'm independent!" Also, loved that Ben was wearing the jean shorts Frank gave him.

Pretty fun ep all around. I think everyone had a moment to shine.

[Moltisanti]

"You got the AIDS, big time!"

Started a little rocky, but was firing on all cylinders by the time they got to the fair.

[flyarz]

Episode was a letdown once they got to the fair, but everything leading up to it was great.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the Christmas Special, though.

[Mad Man Mundt]

Frank's delivery when he looked at Dee and says, "Jesus Christ on the cross. You look like shit." killed me.

Also any time somebody puts "THE" in front of a disease it gets me.

[BubWilliams]

I liked that Charlie's plan hinged on the Waitress getting stabbed by a carny.

[Gabe Powers]

So I got the christmas special for review (late, because Fox sends Blu-ray's out release day), and I feel like a cock for never watching the show. I feel like I'm missing A LOT of the character humour. I guess I'll have to find a friend with the DVDs.

PS: DON'T buy the Blu-ray, it's not actually a hi-def transfer, it's an upconverted SD transfer, and it looks like poo. Fans, stick to the DVD.

[Syd]

Did anyone else catch when, in the bar, when everyone's making masturbation and humping gestures, Dennis mimes beating a woman?

It's little things like that that make me love the show.

[Dr. Murder]

Damn, the waitress looked hot in that outfit

[BillyG]

"Intellectual?

Yea, why do you think I am always reading a book when we do the black widow thing?"

And holy shit, those glasses.

[Paul755]

This one is my favorite episode of the season so far.

-The whole "D.E.N.N.I.S System" explination was killer. But no part more so than "And then we bang" cue the Top Gun style love scene complete with Take my Breath Away.
-Frank and his constant references to Magnum Condoms and his huge Dong.
-Dee getting stabbed by the Carnie and his Key.
-Dr. Mantis Toboggan and "the AIDS...the HIV"
-The randomness of the soldiers "I like Turtles"
-Charlie and the bag of Hair.

So great.

Yes! Two moments that had me rolling. And for those who don't get the turtle reference, please laugh your ass off HERE.

I think this scene had me laughing my ass off more than anything they've ever done.

It's fantastic. Can't wait for more folks to see it so it won't be so spoilery to discuss.
