Don’t worry guys there’s this 1 moment where the gang makes the right decision with no benifit to themselves in series 15, no spoilers, I just want Aaron to be able to keep a small glimmer of hope alive 👍 haha

[@Dontyoudare]

@@MadaraUchiha-vd2bxMy favourite late season episode is in S13E10, Mac’s Dance. One of the best and heartwarming episode in IASIP.

[@BeatleScorpion1]

These are the only reactors I know who actually analyzed Charlie's lyric sheet. And it actually correlates with what Charlie ends up singing! I love it!

[@CapitalMscenes]

They’re also the only reactors (besides the guy on the left) who pretend to be triggered and disapprove of the show so they don’t come across as bad people for liking the show. Other reactors to this show just laugh and enjoy the stupidity and adult humor.

[@BeatleScorpion1]

@@CapitalMscenes LOL They're not pretending, they just didn't care for this episode compared to the others. Surely, you've had some episodes in some seasons that you didn't like too, right? Besides, they've been laughing way more now than they were before (3x4 is a great example, and 3x10 too). So, really, there's no reason to be so mad every time they're not enthusiastic enough for your satisfaction.

[@CapitalMscenes]

@@BeatleScorpion1It’s not just about not liking an episode. You can tell they’re thinking that if they like something that might be offensive then people might try to come after them or “cancel” them or whatever so they’re erring on the side of caution and making sure people know “I do not like what they are saying and doing. This is bad behavior.” They are literally the only reactors to this show I’ve seen do this. The middle guy is constantly saying “I really don’t like Dennis” whenever he does something that would be offensive in real life. It’s just annoying because at this point how do they not realize the comedy is in how terrible these people are? We can agree to disagree but it’s pretty obvious to me they’re afraid to laugh at the more offensive style jokes but they just come across as uptight and honestly like they are pretending to be offended so people don’t get mad at them.

[@BeatleScorpion1]

@Hansnoles Look, I get it, it's rough to see reactors not be as enthusiastic about something you like as you are. But when you guys insult them and make up crazy conspiracy theories like, "They're afraid to laugh and pretending to be offended so people won't be mad at them," that's where you guys lose me. They can just not care for a certain aspect of the show, with no sort of ulterior motives involved. Stop seeing and inventing sinister things where there really aren't any. Calvin says he doesn't like Dennis, so that's why in future reactions, he enjoys it when Dennis gets comeuppance, like when Dee makes him up to be a sex offender or when he gets pepper sprayed by the Waitress. You said yourself that the comedy is in how terrible these people are and them getting karma. And that's exactly what Calvin's starting to do with Dennis. And again, the ratio of disapproval to approval is clearly starting to shift from Season 1, and the fact that you guys keep zeroing in on these episodes and ignore the ones where they actually do laugh just makes it seem like bad faith on your behalf.

[@flor8567]

Dennis is the worst, but as seasons go by you realize he is the most interesting member of the gang. What I like about this show, is that their trauma and their reasons for being awful always come back but if you get lost in the joke you miss them. Loved that Aaron, the dad, was the one to decipher Charlie's lyrics.

Because they are clowns

[@beyondviolet]

@@gregory3499 why do you keep watching them, literally all your comments are just you being a miserable POS 😂

[@theawesome1rjc]

It’s not that. In order to not laugh at a joke one would have to not only see something wrong with it (because there’s plenty of that in the show at which they laugh) but also believe that the “group” being mocked needs your defense. See, an open bigot believes certain groups are lesser, and they accept it. Most ordinary people also believe certain groups are lesser, but they reject it. Fundamentally, both accept the same premise - that one group is worth less than another. One accepts it and flaunts it like an ass, the other rejects it and represses himself. They are the latter. This should not be mistaken as a dig at them. They’re great guys, I’ve been watching them for years and will continue to do so. However, I feel I have to point it out because most people are in this state and they miss it their entire lives.

[@bobbiwib]

⁠@@theawesome1rjc the fuck? Sounds like you think disabled people are worth less. Not everyone feels that way, and it’s very very weird to phrase it as “most people do but won’t admit it to themselves” If you’re remotely correct then people need to fix their thinking

[@pieperbe]

When people say, “The times were different when this came out,” they miss the point that these characters are deliberately made to be horrible people, as a satire of horrible people. Just like the black face episodes. It’s not that the show creators didn’t realize black face is wrong. They are satirizing horrible people who don’t fully understand it is wrong.

[@jmacyourlife]

Hoping these characters will be better and make good decisions is the wrong mindset to have because you’ll always be let down. If you’re gonna watch this show you have to embrace how shitty these people are and hope for their downfall, better viewing experience this way

[@ryankunst668]

Calvin: "I want them to make a good decision. I don't care if it works out, in fact it's funnier if it doesn't." I feel like that's kinda what happened with Dayman. They worked together to make an actually cool song (in my opinion). No evil plot, no ulterior motive (unless you count wanting to get famous, but that's pretty normal and harmless). Unfortunately it was just the wrong crowd and the song didn't land.

[@russianpaul77]

"he's not bad per se, i mean he's a bit off" huh? he was playing a solid 12 bar blues riff

[@larryvos4377]

Frank didn’t give away his money. He thought about it but didn’t actually. He just enjoys living in squalor and chooses to, unlike the rest of the gang who has to. He’s still a multimillionaire which makes his character that much funnier

[@TheBlarggle]

The "lyrics" sheet is pretty well translated. It's: Nightman, Sneaky and mean. Spider inside my dreams. You make me wanna cry You make me wanna die I love you. Charlie fills in more lyrics, but everything on the page appears in the song. (Never mind you guys everntually get there.)

[@mrruniccross1226]

So an interpretation of the Dayman song, later given a little credence in some of the episodes is that Dayman is Mac. Charlie has had a pretty dark life and Mac being very clearly one of his only friends as a kid (and his best friend in some episodes) and Mac's wannabe badass persona makes him a "Master of Karate" Purposeful? No clue, but it is kinda nice.

[@aaronisdeadd]

What makes you think this? Because he just came up with Dayman on the spot. Clearly having a breakthrough moment. Realizing he himself is the Dayman. The musical later proves this

[@mrruniccross1226]

@@aaronisdeadd mostly just the connections to Night Man sounding like his weirdo uncle with the hand obsession and Day man being a "Master of Karate". Genuinely no other reason than it can be a weirdly wholesome view of their friendship.

[@russianpaul77]

@@aaronisdeadd i agree with you. charlie thought of dayman on the spot because dennis opened the blinds. and day is opposite of night. maybe the karate thing was just a positive quality of mac that charlie liked and subconciously added it to the song but I don't think "Mac is the dayman"...i don't want to say more until that later episode

You didn’t even think this was serious you thought it was just a drunken joke on a Ferris wheel!” But I swear he had spidey senses because EVERY time I was about to break it off, he’d start gushing about how happy he was and blah blah. Ugh. Motherfucker made things tricky. I don’t think he was, but he could’ve passed.
