It’s Always Sunny: “Who Pooped The Bed?”
I was tempted to mention it with the Manhunters episode and I bit my tongue then. But I can do so no more: This humor has almost gotten too perverse for me. Like, I enjoy seeing indifferent, immoral behavior portrayed on television as much as the next person. But everything about the Frank and Charlie conundrum was too outrageous for my sensibilities, which are virtually non-existent.
Or maybe it is we just don’t much care for Artemus. Every time she makes an appearance on the show we know we are a minute or two away from cringing. And it’s not the good kind of cringe that this series regularly induces. No, it’s more along the lines of a “what in the hell did she do exactly to convince Rob McElhenney that this would be go over well” cringe.
Speaking of shitting yourself, if they every start a bicycle gang on this show, I just might do so with joy.
Last night’s episode was probably the worst example of this, as she was given an ample amount of lines to really put me too sleep. Though we did like Frank refuting her detailed explanation as to who was responsible for what, and every seen with Kaitlin Olson in it was spot on last night, we would definitely rank this as one of the more, well, not necessarily forgettable episodes. But definitely one of the worst in execution. We expect them to rebound any time now but as we’ve mentioned before, It’s Always Sunny is probably the streakiest television series we have ever seen. It’s a little uneven, but when it is working it is one of the funniest comedies currently in season.
This, unfortunately, was not one of those times.
My apologies for the brevity, back with Survivor recap later.
