Not one of the funniest episodes, but I still liked it a lot. I love when the gang sings. Some highlights: - "I don't know why it took so long for black people to realize that their lives matter" - Frank really wanting to say the n word/Dee's reactions - Charlie talking to the police - Scott Bakula
I didn't think it was very controversial really, I just didn't like it. One of their oddball episodes, like "Gang Hits the Slopes" that I tend to dislike. I just didn't think it was very funny. I did like the return of Old Black Man. Nightman Cometh, this was not. Looking forward to next week and then looks like another oddball one coming after that.
I respectfully disagree. I thought this episode was fantastic and I enjoyed it more than a good part of season 11.
I kind of thought this season would be weird. Last season did some really strange things. Not nearly as funny as previous season, but it was entertaining in a different way. Seeing the AV Club give this episode an A makes me automatically think I won't like it considering I always disagree with them. haha.
There will be good episodes this year and mediocre ones, just like last year. Still a remarkably consistent show overall. "We're church blacks!" was funny.
I like to think of "The Mick" as a spin-off where Dee finally becomes the actress she has always wanted to be
The stuff between songs was great but I didn't think the songs themselves were anything special, the joke seemed to be that they were singing so they didn't feel the need to add very many jokes into the lyrics. Like instead of something like "You've got to pay the troll toll to get into this boy's hole" we've got "what do you do!" Quantum Leap stuff was hilarious Glad to see Old (black) man again
I didn't get that vibe at all. For me it seemed like more of a social commentary on current/recent racial issues in America. It was done well, and some of the lines were funny, but as an episode overall in regards to the quality this show has had, eh.
Anyone who doesn't like the songs has never had to write intellgent, catchy songs and then implement them into a 22-minute comedy show.
That's true, haha. The songs were my biggest gripe, but you make a great point. Full kudos to Charlie Day for doing it though, as much as I didn't like "What Are The Rules?", the song he sang with the train was awesome.
Finally got to watch it. Bought the iTunes pass since I don't have cable. I actually really liked that one. Didn't laugh, but I didn't really need to. I've always found the group's take on racism to be a really funny aspect of each of their characters. They are such bad people, but they all try to appear to be so tolerant of certain minority groups and are so quick to jump on each other's cases about it (except for Frank).... In reality, when it all comes down to it, it's really that they just want to look like they are morally better than each other and are actually all judgmental and racist in their own ways.
Uh, what? What if someone has written similarly and still doesn't care for some of the songs? This doesn't make sense.
"Anyone who doesn't like Always Sunny has just never been Danny Devito before!" No, but seriously, I get the thought of "you are ignorant of the amount of work/creativity it took to implement those songs into the show", but I don't agree with that logic... haha.
