FILMMAKER REACTS to It's Always Sunny Season 2 Episode 4: Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom

[@ianmiller6798]

The waitress that Frank is checking out is Danny DeVito's actual daughter, which makes the "isn't having children a blessing?" even funnier to me

[@tyrantmind]

omg no way, hahaha

[@moviefreakdavid666]

Wait what?

[@danwiththeplans]

That's the inside joke. Quite layered. 🤌

[@D123-f9k]

I don’t know how I could possibly not see the resemblance until now. That’s crazy.

[@sokar_rostau]

@@D123-f9k She also plays a woman Dee and Mac meet in the street when they have the dumpster baby.

[@TheHeroClass]

Man, the fact that you can see the tears building up in Charlie's eyes, culminating in a single tear falling at the end. Chef's kiss.

[@winstonmarlowe5254]

wonder how many takes that took

[@DrBeardfacePA]

Charlie looking at the calculator and slowly asking, “What are you…?” always cracks me up. The timing and delivery is always perfect in this show.

[@JaxonBurn]

And it was an improv'd line too, apparently!

[@Jessica-vv8yo]

Fun fact: the song at the club that's playing while Frank is dancing was recorded by Rob and Glen (Dennis and Mac) after Danny Devito improvised his dance and the "go for it" line. They thought it was so funny that they created a background song for it

[@wingman4356]

That Dennis headshake when he enters the office kills me. The subtleties of his character provide an endless reservoir of humor.

[@spiraljumper74]

Incredible acting from Charlie Day, you can see his soul leaving his body right at the end there.

[@MrNylenRules]

"...Call me! :)" *vague, passively dismissive laugh while walking away* Early season Dennis in a nutshell and its too damn funny

[@crackracing7900]

I truly feel like this is the first AMAZING episode the gang made. Just the way Charlie's plan escalates and adds more and more steps,only for that final punchline to hit...priceless. Props to both Charlie and the Waitress' acting in that last scene,the screaming and crying really sell how fucked up and funny it is that the scheme backfired that badly!

[@rrael]

I agree. DeVito was an incredible addition to the show. And it only escalates from here. But something about this episode really slaps. Like they found their stride and start getting as weird as possible. I can't even imagine the version of this show without DeVito. He's the glue that keeps these crazy assholes together.

[@tomole79]

"This isn't over until I say it's over!!!" Funniest episode so far imo😂

[@Loke6661666246]

Yay! The gang is back! And you haven't even seen Dennis peak yet. 😁

[@JamesVSCinema]

Love me some Dennis haha

[@Loke6661666246]

@@JamesVSCinema just you wait. This show has such great characters.

[@craigcordeiro]

He hasn't even BEGUN to peak...

[@Nick_CF]

When he peaks he is gonna peak all over

[@blade3430]

When he peaks, the whole of Philadelphia is gonna feel it

[@timtroshak630]

This episode’s plot gives me major Cohen brothers vibes. Just in terms of how well they connected everyone within the story, like you said.

[@MamadNobari]

Coen* But yeah, it's kinda like Burn After Reading. Also Curb is the same way, everything that happens and we see at the beginning of the episodes will have some conclusion and will coincide with each other at the end in a really funny way.

[@nickhaze2491]

This episode is absolutely incredible, definitely in the top 10 best Always Sunny episodes.

[@vorbeck5555]

Just a fun fact, the waitress at the restaurant is Danny DeVito's real daughter. And yeah like everyone else I can't wait till you get to the later seasons when it really starts to hit its stride.

[@baileybrian9560]

lol i was just thinking she looked just like his daughter

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

I love this fact - I was coming on to tell him this - such a great mix of dialogue, acting, and meta info.

[@cptnmaestro]

And the Waitress and Charlie Day are married irl

[@d0gb1te]

​@cptnmaestro as are Mac and Dee. Dennis' irl wife appeared in the "D.E.N.N.I.S. System" episode as the 'cute pharmacist'.

[@joshyaash]

Another fun fact from this one. The song playing at the club with Mac and Frank was made by the guys after Danny improvised the "go for it" thing when he's dancing for the girls. You can hear Glenn Howerton's voice over the track. They talked about it on the podcast for this episode!

[@reactionisst]

Any time Charlie yells is automatically my favorite part of the show.

[@williamdinkel2304]

The vocals in the song playing in the club are Mac and Dennis singing "go for it" because frank says it while busting the move

[@rickdaniel3230]

Shibuya roll call.

[@louacker479]

the waitress that Frank was checking out in the restaurant during the date scene was Danny Devito's daughter in real life, a little inside joke

[@dougduck8111]

You can tell the actors are all really settling into their roles. So many great line deliveries and so much great chemistry from both the main and supporting cast here.

[@ObscureOutlaw]

You acknowledging the directing of the episode makes me so happy. I am very excited for when you start getting into the later seasons for when the actual filmmaking starts to get more and more impressive.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Of course! Happy to be able to highlight things like that even here. 🤘🏽

[@becksimilian2955]

Each character has their own signature dance move as the show goes on. You've now seen Frank's 😂

[@iminumst7827]

That laugh of Dennis walking away from the Waitress is one of my favorite scenes for sure.

[@henryviper9091]

Hahaha Charlie's insane screaming always gets me. Such a fun ride seeing where these characters are in these early seasons.

[@skitchthemovieman]

"ITS NOT OVER TILL I SAY ITS OVER!!!!!!" is my favorite charlie line

[@Acid_Assassin]

The best thing about this show is that it always reminds me that I'm not nearly as bad of a person as I always think I am.

[@isabellarocks1000]

I think it is so funny that the waitress and Charlie are married in real life 😂. She does such a great job acting like she would never consider being with him.

[@ralphschmitt5859]

The way Dennis chuckles..(laughs) at the waitress when she says call me kills me a thousand times every time I see it 😂😂😂😂lol

[@lukebarber9511]

Note: the actress playing Mac's mom plays Grandma in Napoleon Dynamite

[@dahartluke8438]

I feel like this episode is where the show really started coming into its own.

[@jek4837]

I can't recall if this is the first time, but I always love the scenes throughout the show when they use the background music "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" (from The Nutcracker). Those moments always have one of the gang plotting or being devious and "arch". 9:52

[@ramudon2428]

”do you have any more?" kills me every time.

[@McRino1]

I'm so glad you "get" this show. Too many reactors have gone into how bad they are causing awkward uncomfortable reactions instead of getting it, they are the pieces of shit, were laughing at them not with them

[@JamesVSCinema]

Yeah I felt that the first episode! Hahaha I get the vibe 🤘🏽

[@McRino1]

@@JamesVSCinema hope you doing good James. Happy to see you enjoy sunny

[@cottonhairedaesthetic2005]

I cant believe james agreed with this 😂

[@Charlie-cb1bt]

“The girl”😂 might as well get used to calling here the waitress. That is unless u somehow find out her real name in the show. Otherwise, she will always be “the waitress”.

[@Alex-dh2cx]

I know they totally said her real name at some point, if not in show then in the podcast, but I really can't remember it.

[@chadron44]

@@Alex-dh2cx they didn't

[@Alex-dh2cx]

@Chadron nah, I looked it up, they did reveal her character's name in the podcast.

[@TheJoshestWhite]

Don't even start with that Q-anon "NIKKI POTNICK" b.s.

[@dandelionjones3269]

​@@Alex-dh2cxyou're technically not wrong but they censored it so we couldn't hear. I remember listening to that podcast episode.

[@RaijinsTower]

Man, these characters are hilariously and somewhat unintentionally evil! 🤣 Frank and Charlie are my favorite two, even though I love all of the characters. They're unhinged lol.

[@rumham7466]

The intro to Mrs Mac! Love it

[@phylazen5649]

This is why i love watching your reactions to this show. i completely glossed over the fact charlie didnt hang up the phone correctly as well as Dennis telling Dee not to come in and his disgust when she came in anyway.

[@AJackson__420]

Go for it go for it was written by Mac Dennis and Charlie.

[@augustarpg8035]

This episode solidified this as my favorite show

[@suileol]

The music in the club is the three guys singing, and they did it because Danny improvised the "go for it" song and they had to match whatever he sang

[@ringer1324]

One of my favorites of this season. Absolutely incredible. Cinematic masterpiece

[@StarsDie88]

That ending scene is amazing.

[@whatshuhwhogoesthere]

man this show, as well as Arrested Development are so good at weaving stories and creating outstanding payoffs. Also LOVE the channel! I really like how you will break down some aspects of how things are written or shot and would love to see more of that at some point. Like maybe just specific scenes of shows or movies, and taking the time to go further into the technical aspects that stand out.

[@jamesswann6576]

My two favourite shows that I would’ve loved to have crossed over more than ever

[@kanborne]

the first of many perfect episodes of the show, so glad you’re watching it always brightens my day

[@NoelleMar]

5:53 Dennis is a fool to mess with Charlie, but he always tries! I guess once in a while it works to his advantage, but only when it’s works for Charlie’s benefit as well.

[@Varkhal218]

You should see Frank prey, he's like a mantis.

[@davewhitmore1958]

Toboggan, MD

[@pptk]

This was the episode that really hooked me on this show. Really looking forward to more Sunny reactions.

[@rumham7466]

Also that song playing in the club, that’s Dennis singing I believe. Or one of them. They didn’t want to have issue with copyright. 🎵 ooh, go for it go for it 🎵 haha

@JamesVsCinema Like I said before. Dennis Reynolds is basically Ted Bundy reincarnated. Or more like Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho.

[@atredeez]

The waitres that served frank and his date was Danny devetos daughter in real life

[@atredeez]

Charley and the waitres married in real life and mac and dee are married in real life

[@TheSuperNats]

This episode is masterful. Charlie’s plan is so good but he’s not a god and can’t plan for people reacting to things differently. The set up for the waitress banging Frank was perfectly foreshadowed.

[@generic_sauce]

Nothing like a little Always Sunny to help you relax after a long day 😂

[@Zechree]

I’m not a patron yet, but your content literally makes my day everyday. Easily one of my favorite channels right now. Your vibe and even the background music makes me feel so at peace bro, really appreciate your insight on every single video, even on things like it’s always sunny where you don’t even need your brain. Nothing but love and hopefully soon I’ll throw some money at you like a stripper so I can get early access!

[@AwesomeRich]

Yoo, another Sunny! If you ever get the chance watch the bloopers from each season. They're just as hysterical as watching a full episode.

[@Jryix]

Genuinely a treat watching you go through these 😁

[@beesmitty3435]

12:20 she needs to just.. move.. Lol Wait til you meet cricket

[@josefgordon7712]

[@blunt2416]

I haven't seen this entire show....but this is probably my favorite episode. Charlie was on it!!!.....& that ending was like......figures.

"I'm not ugly, you're ugly" "...yeah" Ouch lol

[@darthmillennial2671]

Your reaction to the end is everything lol

[@drockherb2073]

I’ve said it before an I’ll say it again how Charlie and the waitress and Mac and Dee are all married to each other IRL makes it all the funnier when they trash each other

Charlie got played by himself 😂

[@dimitrios1798]

Fun Fact: 8:09 This is Danny DeVito's actual daughter.

[@DrBeardfacePA]

“Nice house of cards, Charlie,” indeed…

[@Stumme-40203]

8:38 Now, let me just state he was not talking about children. He does not diddle kids. He’s not attracted to them at all. He likes them young, yes, but legal and at the end of the day that’s what really matters so uhh yeah. That’s that.

[@guero1961]

be sure to watch El Camino prior to better call saul i’ve seen some channels watch it backwards and a lot of the lines in better call saul won’t make sence

What makes this all funnier is that the waitress that Danny devito checks out is his real life daughter. Also Charlie and the waitress are married in real life. 😂

DeVito’s facial reaction to “I like my sex old and ugly”… 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@feralart]

A show that I immediately came to love is Letterkenny (third episode of the first season is a bit weak, but ultimately a strong show). Fast-paced wordplay, sharp-tongued insults flying around, and then there's Shoresy.

[@llorona7847]

12:37 Charlie is amazing 😊

[@Jokerdan76]

8:08 That is Danny Devito's REAL daughter!! Fun fact!

[@Neat0_o]

Great video bro. When you do filmmaking of your own we’re you a cinematographer, or editor, or sound mixer?

[@l34CoNCreepy]

nobody ever points this out, charlies mother, is Miss Yvonne from pee wees playhouse and pee wees live action shows. that lady is legit!

[@ralphschmitt5859]

I’m going to try and keep track of how many times you say.. This is my favorite episode as the series goes on 😊

[@michaelbuhl4250]

I dearly love this episode. The ending reminds me of the movie Chinatown.

[@SirMan48]

The show hasn't caught its stride yet. You're still quite early. That being said, this episode is probably the first episode in the series where the audience gets to really see the master class of it's always sunny in terms of the pacing and plot The show is chaotic, this episode is chaotic, but from a technical standpoint there is just so much happening in 22 minutes. It's remarkable that it doesn't feel congested

[@brewdaly1873]

I think you've seen Mac's mom before. She was the grandma in Napoleon Dynamite.

[@nellissh2553]

Fun Fact: That's Danny's daughter at 8:10.

[@joshritz7067]

I love the episodes where Dennis gets knocked down a peg

[@AceCorban]

It's kind of a bummer how they evolve Charlie in the later seasons, because I really like how he's the evil mastermind in this one.

[@jamiebollenbacher4762]

I know what you mean, though at least with his character they did end up reeling in his zaniness a little bit in the much later seasons. Now we just need to see him mastermind another plot!
