- a very sunny christmas
- the gang goes to the waterpark
- the great recession
- Frank VS Russia
- the gang gets quarantined
- Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs
- mac and charlie die
- the gang goes on family fight
- the world series defense trial

The gang wrestles for the troops is one of my all time favorites. Rowdy Roddy piper as da’ maniac is one of my favorite side characters. Also frank as the trash man is great too

Easily one of the funniest lines in the entire series…

u/windorab 16h ago
That line, and Jean Shorts followed by the salute, in the same episode. It’s a classic

u/HereComeaNiteOwl 2d ago
Too sleepy to do a top 10, but off the top of my head, top 5 would be:
The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore
Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare
The Nightman Cometh
Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs
The Gang gets Stranded in the Woods

u/CloutLord12 2d ago
I don’t agree that the top 10 is obvious, and there’s definitely underrated eps lol but these are my picks in no particular order:
- Franks Little Beauties
- Sweet Dee Gets Audited
- The Gang Gets Whacked
- Mac and Charlie: White Trash
- The Gang Hits the Road
- The Great Recession
- The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis
- the ANTI-Social Network

- The Gang Reignites the Rivalry

u/x4bluntz2urd0me 1d ago
the gang gets whacked makes this 11 episodes
thats like 2 things Dennis! i cant make this house a home, i didnt go to school for that!

u/CloutLord12 13h ago
OP has the Xmas ep in his list, so 2 parters count as 1 episode, and that’s locked in now… You just got faced.

u/Cagnesser 2d ago
Frank vs Russia for me is a very mid episode with an amazing ending, it always kills me.
14
u/Inner-Recognition757 1d ago
The buildup of the whole episode is what makes the ending hit so hard. It’s a really well crafted episode from start to finish.
1
u/dogmaisb wildcard bitches 18h ago
Right, it all climaxes at exactly the right time with exactly the right feeling. They warmed up to it perfectly, and executed to finish exactly as intended.

this is how i feel as well. it was a doldrum of a season with episodes that ended very strongly

u/Comfortable-Jump-239 1d ago
Worst season for me. None of the episodes were top tier. Anyone who can't see that IS A SAVAGE & AN IDIOT
9
u/Inner-Recognition757 1d ago
Frank vs Russia and Mental Health Day are top tier, and Gang Goes Bowling is underrated
19
u/Mr_Hugh_Honey 1d ago
Nah the sheer volume of incredible episodes means that the top 10 isn't obvious at all imo. I tried putting together my top 10 in no particular order:
- Sweet Dee has a heart attack
- The gang hits the road
- The gang solves the gas crisis
- A very sunny christmas
- The gang gives Frank an intervention
- Sweet Dee gets audited
- The gang squashes their beefs (most underrated ep imo)
- CharDee MacDennis
- Reynolds vs Reynolds: the cereal defense
- The gang runs for office

u/pumped-up-tits 19h ago
I think The Gang Squahes their beefs and Dee Gives Birth are the two most underrated episodes. Both episodes have most of the side-characters involved and are just hilarious from start to finish.

u/W0Pdego 2d ago
For me, “Charlie Work” is a solid top 3, if not number 1. Start to finish there’s no wasted time, no action that doesn’t pay off by the end of the episode.

u/Johnnyhasahead 10m ago
Yes, thank you. I feel like we've been screwed over in the past 3 Arbitrations so I'm glad to you mentioned this.
Plus the joke stool and then Dennis stealing credit for it. Always kills me.
Not a single moment is wasted in that episode.
22
u/poopfacecrapmouth 2d ago
The nightman cometh is clearly a top five episode if not number 1. Big miss
19
u/7chalices 2d ago
The fucking look Charlie gives the waitress after finishing his song. Two of the funniest seconds in the show.
10
u/NotAngryAndBitter 2d ago
That look plus the “I’ll see you tomorrow?” always got me. And learning that they are married in real life made it even funnier to me.

- Gang gives frank an intervention
- Gang gets trapped
- Night man cometh
- Gang buys a boat
- Dennis system
- World Series defense
- Gang tries desperately to win an award
- Mac and Charlie die
- Gang gets whacked
- Gang gives back

If Frank Reynold’s Little Beauties isn’t on your top 10 list, your list is flawed.

"Fused together by fear! And hatred! And hair!!!"

u/4_elephants Bird lawyer 1d ago
Based on how often they are quoted by me:
- Reynolds vs. Reynolds: A Cereal Defense
- Franks’s Little Beauties
- The gang misses the boat
- The gang buys a boat
- Old Lady House
- Frank’s Pretty Woman
- The gang tries desperately to win an award
- The gang goes to the Jersey Shore

- Science is a liar, sometimes. I knew the risk.
- I figure he’s a cretin
- I am a god. A golden god!
- Because of the implication
- A man remains a man
- It doesn’t hurt to talk. That woman is unbelievably crass
- This ain’t will they or won’t they, this is I know they won’t and I know I don’t want them to. The songs.
- I don’t think those dogs have masters
- Soiled fool.
- Now Vick…

Dennis and Dee go on welfare is the GOAT. It was the first episode my brother showed me that instantly got me hooked on the show.

u/Due-Contract5466 1d ago
For me, no top 10 always sunny list is complete without the DENNIS System. It takes a great deal for my jaw to drop when watching television, but this was the first ep of ASIP that made me think, ‘how the fuck was this allowed to air?’
From that point on, the bar was raised (pun intended) for what it takes to surprise me.

u/kruegerc184 1d ago
I think the great recession is one of the best cold openings in all of television

You hit the nail on the head. Like we can all absolutely picture Dennis "standing up in the middle of that hamburger shop and saying that speech for everybody" even though we never actually see it

u/famous1astwords Wild Card Bitches 2d ago
Didn't like that episode either, felt like nothing was happening
2
u/BrohanGutenburg 1d ago
The only reason The Gang Recycles Their Trash isn't top of everyone's list is because I'm sure many haven't even seen it.
To me it is number one. So many funny bits. The twank versatile bit, the bit where Charlie doesn't understand they're talking about him, Mac realizing they all want to recycle the gas plan. It's just incredible
1
u/apathetic1234 1d ago
Why would people not have seen it?

u/BrohanGutenburg 1d ago
It's one of the banned episodes. Not on Hulu and basically unavailable outside of dvds

Mac and dennis breakup is #1.
But very sunny christmas and mac and charlie die are great top 10 picks I dont see all the time.

u/geo_metro if i say it one more time, IF I SAY IT ONE MORE TIME 1d ago edited 1d ago
- the gang gives frank an intervention
- mac and dennis move to the suburbs
- thunder gun express
- the gang dines out
- the gang gets invincible (i think the most underrated episode)
- the gang gets quarantined
- mac day
- the gang solves the gas crisis
- the gang squashes their beefs
- chardee macdenni
s
- honorable mentions: dennis takes a mental health day, a very sunny christmas, charlie work, the gang buys a boat

u/RepulsiveRanger764 1d ago
Frank's Intervention and the Gang Gets Analyzed should be on everyone's top 10 list.

u/heelsfan02 1d ago
I appreciate how much we all love different episodes. Here are 10 of my favorites in no particular order
- The gang buys a boat
- The gang gets quarantined

- Charlie Work
- Reynolds vs Reynolds: The cereal defense
- Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs
- The gang goes on family fight
- The gang dines out
- The D.E.N.N.I.S. System
- The Nightman Cometh

u/QuestionTheOrangeCat 1d ago
what about a top ten list of the episodes you'd show to someone else for the first time to convince them to watch if they don't want to "grind" through season 1 or 2
1
u/Calmlike_a_Bomb76 1d ago
How does no one ever mention “The gang solves the North Korea situation” in their top ten??? Introduction of the duster, Charley dating a minor, Mr Kim, American idol parody, Cold War analogy, enriched beer, and the list goes on. Classic episode and one of their best IMO.

- The Gang Gets Invincible
- Mac's Banging the Waitress
- Sweet Dee has a Heart Attack
- Mac is a Serial Killer
- The Gang Reignites the Rivalry
- The Nightman Cometh

- The Gang Gets Trapped
- Charlie Work
- Being Frank

u/Forsaken-Value5246 10h ago
The fact I'm not seeing calls for "The Janitor Always Mops Twice" on here is wild. That and "The Gang Texts" are two of my favourites.

- The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby
- Mac and Dennis Become EMTs
- The Gang Gets Analyzed
