FILMMAKER REACTS to It's Always Sunny Season 2 Episode 7: The Gang Exploits a Miracle

[@Loke6661666246]

Oh boy. And now we have Cricket. Another great character.

[@BobTheSkull]

the best boy

[@eckce]

One of the best characters on the show, can't wait for James to follow his journey lol

[@thechunkyson]

Hips and nips

[@mrpickmanb]

Buckle up!

[@bennice223]

"I'll eat the scraps, woof woof baby"

[@oliverhughes610]

And thus begins the story of Rickety Cricket. He's played by David Hornsby, who is also a writer and producer of the show, so keep an eye out for his name in the credits in the future!

[@zaxzumu4605]

He's also apparently married IRL to the main actress from Bones

[@paulthealien8028]

​@@zaxzumu4605 Emily Deschanel

[@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087]

Oh yes! And from here there's only 1 way to spiral!!! let the laugh begin!😂

[@armpit_farts7327]

​@@zaxzumu4605 he played a priest on an episode of Bones also lmao. Now we just need her to play a forensic anthropologist on an episode of Sunny 😊.

[@itbechelsea]

"I'm in love with a man... a man named God. Does that make me gay? Am I gay for God? You betcha." 💀

[@pandabooming]

a Classic 😁

[@AChickandaDuck]

He’s got the good Lord going down on him

[@giothegreato3769]

the show never got recognized by any awards and they still dont, its like they dont exist to most main stream awards. later on they have a whole episode about it. Great reaction btw.

[@CaptainOfGames]

And just to be clear, that literally means nothing to them

[@devaunbeats]

@@CaptainOfGames But I am getting a little angry about it. I'm getting that neck thing

[@brewdaly1873]

That's not really true. You could argue that it deserves more accolades than it has received, like the three Emmy nominations it received were all for stunt work, but it's also been nominated and won several Critics Choice, People's Choice, and Satellite awards, besides a few smaller awards.

[@TropicalHat420]

Love me some Cricket, so glad he's finally here.

[@DHFHades]

by far my favorite character arch...ever I think...lol

[@omegashinra7672]

If you see Cricket on screen at any point in the next 13 seasons, strap in because you're in for some solid gold. By far my favourite side character.

[@LordVolkov]

Any episode where Charlie sings is automatically fantastic!

[@afellownerd]

can't wait till James gets to the night man song

[@sleeper9]

A group of friends working on a show together for almost 20 years… that’s love

[@MilmorInc]

I love that Dennis is your favorite character. The best part is he hasn’t even peaked yet. He hasn’t even begun to peak.

[@CreatEr1n]

He is the Golden God!

[@EdenMcCoy-rt9hp]

And a 5-star man!

[@Ivory81]

This episode introduced Rickety Cricket (one of the best side characters ever) and the running theme of Dennis’s eating disorder. Both of which are the butt of many jokes throughout the series!!

[@EhFrank]

IASIP has been nominated for 3 primetime Emmys All three were for "Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy Series or a Variety Program"

[@EdenMcCoy-rt9hp]

I love how specific that award is. Haha

[@rachelkoiks]

It’s so specific it sounds fake.😂 I remember when I realized Kaitlin did her own stunt, tumbling down that hill in The D.E.N.N.I.S. System and pushing up with her foot so she finished upside down in a funny position grunting off a final “gnugh.” I was impressed. I couldn’t help but appreciate her character even more after that. But it wasn’t until the podcast did I realize she actually stumbled into a real metal car door and it only dawned on me she was actually being waterboarded. Nuts. I’ve meant to look up the fish factory (cream pies) stunt because it didn’t look like a doll, it looked like a real fucking person. But I hope that wasn’t Kaitlin who fell off that ladder to ricochet on her side on the edge of that metal thing, landing on the floor. I want it to be a doll but that was definitely a person wasn’t it? 🫣😨 Since that was later in the show, Im hoping it was a stunt person. But the sacrifices she made for the sake of comedy. She’s definitely underrated. Then there’s Charlie’s skiing stunt double, who was too obviously not Charlie. 😂And not in a funny Lethal Weapon basketball way.

[@monkfishy6348]

And so it begins. The greatest character arc of modern times.

[@Tony_Miller]

Asking if the show has won any awards. Can’t wait till he watches THAT episode 😂

[@phillipmorgan4627]

Cricket is my favorite side character/ recurring gag. He and the waitress get developed damn near as good as the gang themselves

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

You witnessed the debut of a legend in this episode.

[@VDeity_X]

Appreciate you not taking these episodes to seriously. Some reactors feel like they have to like constantly remind there viewers "this is so bad" "how could they" like we get it, can you just enjoy the craziness and stop walking on egg shells.

[@DNAGames-sr1mg]

i love the blooper reels. On their pod cast they were talking about how they improv until they make each other laugh because if they find it funny someone else out there probably does too.

[@deek60819]

can't wait for "the gang desperately tries to win an award" hahaha

[@ryanc.3372]

Oh boy. Rickety Cricket! Seeing your reaction to the evolution of Cricket is going too awesome to see. Easily one of the best side characters in the show.

[@matthew6427]

This is the beginning episode of an arc that goes wildly off the rails 😂 One of my all time favorites!

[@Gregor_Von_DOOM]

This episode was reacted to by actual priests in a KZbin video that was pretty funny. It's worth checking out, it shows even though these characters always go way off the deep end, even priests found humor and good lessons in the episode.

[@bsmith8943]

The actor that plays cricket is a huge writer of the show. Brilliant actor and writer.

[@maximillianosaben]

Cricket!!! One of the great recurring characters, as well as a frequent writer of the show, and the original actor of the Mac role when they were formulating the show (the character was named Rob, and Rob McElhenney didn’t want to act at the time, so he asked David Hornsby to play the part).

[@DevonRucker]

You are gonna love the episodes where they do meta commentary on not winning actual rewards. They are incredible.

[@cbmx1x1]

Cricket’s character arc is probably the most extreme of all the characters on the show.

[@hashtagPoundsign]

Based on the podcast and interviews the cast members that are writing the show have said, they get into constructive creative arguments and help each other

[@stevenrice8439]

Reuniting with the gang was a life altering event for Cricket.

[@shotsofpadron]

1:30 season 9 episode 3 “The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award” is actually a satire about how It’s Always Sunny at that point had never won an award, despite having been on air for almost 10 years hahaha. It’s also one of my favorite episodes 🤣

[@Scolof99]

The guy that plays Cricket played Kip in a fake reality show called the Joe Schmo Show. The show was hilarious. It was set up like a Big Brother type show but everyone was actors except for one person who thought it was real. That would be fun to react to.

[@ShiestyNagoo]

Amazing show

[@Cooljoe872]

This is where Sunny REALLY starts to become Sunny.

[@joemama-su4se]

The show progresses surprisingly well! Its quite impressive

[@kristinav198]

Omg your intro when you mentioned if they have any awards, I can’t wait till you reach their episode all about that hahaha

[@NewYorkFloridaMan]

Yes dude. I'm down with 2 eps a week. It's a great pace for reacting to this show.

[@TheJoshestWhite]

Awards literally mean nothing to the gang.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Oh religion..I know this is gonna be a good one hahaha. Breaking Bad S5 & More Always Sunny & Barry S3 on Patreon! Click here: www.patreon.com/jamesvscinema Have a great day y'all!

[@blackbeardbarkbark]

Cricket!!!!!!!!!! The show is complete!! His character is probably the most requested recurring character from fans.

[@helixisverygay7831]

He has arrived. He is here. Rickety goddamn Cricket is here. And I couldn’t possibly be happier

[@botz77]

Oh God. It's Cricket. I almost forgot about poor Cricket.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, James! 🌞 Since you wondered... it's been nominated for numerous awards. It won best comedy series for Satellite Awards in 2011. Charlie won best supporting actor for Online Film & Television Association in 2016. It won favorite cable tv comedy for People Choice Awards in 2016. Its 14th season poster won a Muse Creative Award in 2019. #JamesVsCinema #DanielAttias #ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia

[@adamneuert9278]

I am sure someone has mentioned it on a video by this point, but since you mentioned it in this video the guys do a podcast where they typically watch an episode before and discuss elements from the episode. They are currently on season 5 chronologically.

[@fastsean9]

Ty for doing sunny it rly is in the top 5 best comedy shows

[@ouoouo6362]

You would think if this show was on for so long without getting any awards, they’d feel slighted about it. Like, it would almost feel personal at this point. Not that any of them care though.

[@ArmandoTheWanderer]

YES cricket is another evolving character. I cant wait for you to witness his rise

[@dimitrios1798]

1:32 Did he mention awards? He is gonna love a certain episode lol

[@PodyTheCirate]

“This Danny Devito character is a savage” friend, you have no idea lmao

[@Neckromorph]

I'm so looking forward to you seeing the evolution (or devolution) of Rickety Cricket throughout the show.

[@Killvoid13]

The downward spiral and utter destruction of Cricket throughout the seasons is freaking hilarious.

[@matchboxthefox]

They actually don't get any recognition from the awards. They have an episode later on about it where they poke fun.

[@becksimilian2955]

James, I also have Dennis as my top character with Charlie as 2nd. Now you've met my number 3.. everyone's favorite side character- Rickety Cricket. I'm so excited for you to watch his character become transformed by the gang.

[@thrawn5k]

And .... welcome in Rickety Cricket! Man, you have no idea what's ahead. Can't wait!

[@EmoDragracer]

Ohhhh I’ve been waiting for this one 😅

[@jonathangarmuth8975]

The gang wins an award

[@Garrettleestone]

The introduction of cricket! Great episode!!

[@nickjohnson1445]

You may think you know what your in for. Just be ready, man. This is going to be a great ride.

[@ralphschmitt5859]

You mention this show not winning any awards.*Slight Spoiler..They actually do an episode about that in season 9 If I'm not mistaken a show called "Baskets"staring Zach Galifanakis and Louie Anderson premiered on FX(the same station Sunny was on) on 1/21/16 They won an award very quickly. That being said, you have a looooong way to go before we get there. 😃♥

[@TheTyronecus]

Loving your videos!

[@paulchavez3039]

And so it begins...

[@jay_vero]

rickity cricket goes through a journey in this show as the seasons go by

[@peterwale6821]

About the awards (non) recognition, the team have an episode which touches on that in season 4 episode 13 The Nightman Cometh, Charlie's original song is the best I've ever heard.......

[@StarsDie88]

The debut of Pastor Cricks.

[@froggobonano]

I was just the other day wondering where cricket was cause I swore he was in the show earlier than this and now he's here. God cricket episodes are great.

[@RamóhanMercader97]

Welcome to the start of the long descent of rickety cricket

[@BMams83]

Cricket! Fun fact, he’s a producer on the show and is married to Bones, from the show Bones!

[@evanw.5119]

Time to start an ASIP playlist, so many great things still to come

[@llorona7847]

1:39 Funnily enough, you will find out. Just keep watching 😂

[@kahlbutomacfarland]

“I’ve got the lord!”

[@Literally-God]

Crazy to imagine this is the same Cricket we get later

[@TamagoSenshi]

13:58 The gang explorts

[@MikeDePaul]

1:31 The gang desperately tries to win an award.

[@nivekian]

Oh, sweet Cricket... LOLOLOL!!!

[@davewhitmore1958]

"They're gonna . . . exploit people?" Yeah, sounds like another episode :P

[@SongJLikes]

Every time I see this episode, deep in the back of my mind I’m rooting for Cricket to stay a priest…. Hahaha

[@adambainbridge1708]

Cricket! The saga begins 😂

[@nolanrex00]

James @ IASIP: For an hour, I would listen to Charlie speak the Good Word James @ Barry: If I was built for that world, I would definitely want to be involved in that! I could see myself being a good character in the show. Me: Oh God... We've corrupted him and he's gone too far... Where will it end, James!!?

[@zozoartstudio4727]

Ohhhh yeah! Rickety Cricket!

[@MrUndersolo]

I want Dee's "You could really, really have me" as my ringtone. 📱 📲 📳 🤳

[@MrAtaguas]

bro you gotta double up your it's always sunny dose man there's so much good sh*t to go through and so many seasons

[@rachelkoiks]

Back in the day these stories were always in the news. I remember the one of a man who discovered a Jesus resembling potato chip. I’m not kidding.

[@ShiestyNagoo]

I can’t wait to see you react to the evolution of Cricket 😂

[@Acid_Assassin]

And so begins the tragic, and hilarious degeneration of one Rickety Cricket.

[@Medicalstench]

Crickets arc is insane

[@Alex-hm7nt]

Its hilarious that you bring up Its Always Sunny and awards......they do an episode about it in a later season lol

[@bsmith8943]

Cricket enters as priest. Lmao

[@ringer1324]

The greatest character ever created by mankind has finally entered the show. Cricket….. ooooh yeah
