Still, they can’t bring themselves to do it, giving the power of attorney to the lawyer who just can’t seem to stay away from The Gang. Dee and Dennis don’t kill a dog, or Cricket-who now has a dead eye and scar from a dog attack-because as terrible as they might seem, they aren’t that horrible.Īfter finding some films of their Pop-Pop sending them to a Nazi Youth Summer Camp as children, the duo figure the right thing to do is to kill the old Nazi bitch. Who else could work at the dog pound cleaning up explosive diarrhea but Rickety Cricket, who asks that they kill him instead to put him out of his misery. At this point, with seven seasons behind them, their actions are still messed up, but now it seems natural for Dee and Dennis to go to a dog pound to see if they can kill a dog before they kill a human being. Sure, sometimes that process can involve smoking crack to get on welfare or throwing a fake dead baby funeral so Dee doesn’t get audited, and yes they will get into screwed-up territory almost weekly, but to them their processes make perfect sense. The Gang is almost always discussed as being too depraved or screwed up, but to me, it’s just that their process of getting from A to B isn’t filtered as much as any other person’s might be. In Charlie and Mac’s minds, the death of this dog must have driven Hitler crazy, leading to the deaths of millions, so they go searching for the painting. Charlie put together that the one thing they didn’t burn was a dog painting that they believe was a Hitler original of his own dog. Frank however has been taking care of Pop-Pop (how great would a Magnitude Community reference have been in this episode?), bringing (and leaving) containers of soup for him every week, in order to get the Nazi treasure the comatose man once talked about. Well now Dennis and Dee’s Pop-Pop is in a coma, and they have the power to pull the plug. In “Pop-Pop: The Final Solution,” we get an episode that feels like early It’s Always Sunny, as the episode works like a spiritual successor to the season one episode “The Gang Finds a Dead Guy.”īack all the way in their sixth episode, Dennis and Dee’s grandfather, a former Nazi, gave Charlie a box of some Nazi memorabilia, including the entire Nazi outfit that Mac and Charlie eventually burned. So as season eight begins, Mac has had a sudden weight loss that allows him to fit into his leather duster again and the slate is wiped once again. When Sweet Dee gave birth at the end of season six, this was never brought up again instead it was replaced with Fat Mac, or as we can all feel comfortable in calling him now, Ronald McDonald. Every season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia begins with a clean slate to do more horrible things.
