    Jesus Mechanical Bull Riding Christ ..

    .. this episode nearly killed me. When Dennis and Frank get back to the bar and Dennis starts screaming "IDIOTS!" like someone with turretts syndrome I nearly choked to death with laughter.

    The best comedy on TV, no question. Where the hell else can you sit back and watch a wild pack of socio paths commit a dozen serious felonies while laughing your ass off the entire time.

    The only negative thing I can say is it's going to SUCK waiting 10 months for new episodes ... I just wish these guys could squeeze in a few more episodes each season.

    PROBABLY THE GREATEST DENNIS EPISODE

    Looking back on this episode and watching it alone not after each other I mean wow guys the whole ep I'm laughing my ass off, I love Dennis in this his rage is so funny. It's my fav Dennis ep and the one when he infiltrates the hippie Crowd.

    • Trivia
      When Dennis and Frank are destroying Art Slone's home, Frank cuts the shower curtains waist-high so 'everyone can see his junk'. In real life Charlie Day and his friend in college decided to get revenge on some third-floor guys by cutting the shower curtains waist-high.
    • Goofs
      When Frank is trimming Art Sloan's shower curtain, the entire curtain is cut in half. When the camera cuts to Dennis and back to Frank, only part of the curtain is cut in half. When the camera cuts to Dennis and then Frank again, the entire curtain goes back to being cut in half.
    • Quotes

      Charlie Kelly: [after informing a rival bar that the gang poisoned them 10 years ago to win a flip-cup tournament] Check it out... Who's to say we didn't put that very same poison in the drinking water?

      Mac: [customers begin spitting out water] Everybody relax. He's lying. He doesn't have any poison.

      Charlie Kelly: No, I don't have any on me. But I do keep some in my fridge at home in the relish jar.

      Frank Reynolds: There's poison in that jar? I thought I was allergic to pickles.

      [pause]

      Frank Reynolds: What's in the jar with the skull and crossbones?

      Charlie Kelly: Well, that's mayonnaise. That's a decoy.

      Frank Reynolds: And the mayo?

      Charlie Kelly: That's shampoo.

      Frank Reynolds: You're telling me I've been putting shampoo on my sandwiches?

      Charlie Kelly: If you're using the mayonnaise, yeah... probably.
