I don't understand how anyone can consider The Gang Gets Trapped to be great. They are randomly inside some house, trying to steal an artifact? On top of it all, the characters are whispering, which is aggravating and makes it hard to understand what they are saying. It just wasn't funny at all, and it's even worse than Frank's Brother.

Turn your TV volume up man. That premise is too random? You're familiar with the program right? They explain why they're doing it during the episode. If you don't like it that's fine. It's a show fraught with absurdity, so that doesn't seem too off the wall.

Of course I'm familiar with the program, it's just that the episode seemed really underwhelming and the premise ridiculous. I didn't laugh once. At least with Frank's Brother, there was the ongoing gag of Luther constantly getting arrested for being black, and Frank's 'Those were the days' comment.

The worst episode by far is Frank's Brother.

The worst episode by far is Frank's Brother. It definitely felt like a non-Sunny episode since it lacked the gang for the most part. For me, this and The Gang Gets Trapped are 1 and 2 (they go back and forth for me) as far as being the worst. In their first 5 seasons, the only bad episode they had was the M. Night Shamaylan episode where they try to write a movie. Everything else was good-to-great. Since season 6, they've had maybe 5-7 episodes I thought have been great and most of their stuff has been mediocre.

My least favorite was 'Who Pooped the Bed?'
My top episode was "Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass"

Count me in with those who love The Gang Gets Trapped. It's one of my all time favorite episodes actually.

My favorite is 'Sweet Dee is Dating a Retarded Person', followed closely by 'Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom'. That's the episode in which Frank introduced us to 'the move'.

I've gotta give a shout out to "The D.E.N.N.I.S System" if we're talking all-time favourite episodes. Even if it's just for the line "hahahaha... This will frighten the shit out of her". Not sure I've ever laughed at anything else so much in my life.

I'm not trying to drown the thread in negatively, but does this show derive humor from anything other than the 4-5 characters rapidly saying ignorant/foolish things to eachother in a slightly higher voice? Every episode I see is 90% that...

This episode tonight was one of the best things they have done. Dee is amazing. Charlie's song at the end was a great cap to a great episode.

That was easily the best episode of the last two seasons. The hardest I laughed since the dance scene from the class reunion episode where we see what their classmates were actually witnessing.

Every episode I see is 90% that... Once you watch the show enough to really understand each character, it's awesome. I didn't like it at first, because I saw random episodes out of context and thought they were just a bunch of jerks that can't stop yelling. But the more I watched the more I realized that the humor comes from the characters' thought-processes, and how great a job the acting and writing does of bringing that out. It's more than just the wackiness on the surface. I know it's a hard sell for a show you're not thrilled with so far, but watching it all from the very beginning made me "get it" to the point where it's possibly my favorite comedy series.

Dammit, I forgot to watch it. What was the plot? The gang tries to spruce up Paddy's to get an award. My favorite episode of the season so far.

The one time I forget to watch, the episode is actually good.

Some people say the episode was even better than busting a nut.
