Cricket is my favorite character on the show so of course I was delighted to see him transform into a dancing leather boy. Don't know if we will ever see that again but who knows what form he will take on next year? Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim copyright…
A moment in sports history is commemorated in true Always Sunny fashion. The jubilation feels very real - and all things considered, it was. Longer version of GIF found here.

At last, the story goes back to Charlie and his cliffhanger choice as the game - and episode - builds up to its climax. Considering all he went through, it wasn't really a choice, was it? Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim copyright to the material being GIF’d, I’m just…
Charlie gets a visitation from two Eagles to encourage him to press forward so that they can win the Superbowl: he drinks his own pee, gets nailed, gets hit by more paint cans... Of course the Eagles are just hallucinations, but that's good because they can at least remind Charlie that he can use his…
Charlie's elaborate Home Alone traps combine with his commitment to saving the Eagles as he makes a brave effort to wear green for good luck. Then the rat he ate earlier comes back up. It could have been worse; it could have climbed back up. Longer version of GIF found here. Right-click to save the…
Caught in a bear trap of his own making, Charlie has to staunch the bleeding by cauterizing it. Any other show would have made this wince-inducing painful; this is painful, yes, but also incredibly funny. Because it's Charlie. Then he tops things off by having a taste of brown for the Eagles. Longer version of…
Trying to defend his home - that is, Paddy's Bar - Charlie becomes an example of Chekhov's rule about a gun in the first act. Except it's a bear trap. And it goes off at the end of the first act, not the third. Longer version of GIF found here.
After having the best parts of the clip show episode, "Charlie's Home Alone" is bascally a solo episode that rivals another favorite episode, "Charlie Work". But where that earlier episode shows Charlie's hidden competence, this one plays off the classic family film to show how catastrophic his imagination can become. It's embedded in the first…
It turns out that two Charlies are needed for him to remember things - one to act out, the other to watch. From a doorway. Typical Charlie logic. Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim copyright to the material being GIF’d, I’m just doing this as a fan.
Charlie continue to steal the clip show episode by imagining an encounter with himself - a self married to the Waitress and with a baby, to boot! It manages to be sweet and crazy and creepy all at once. Pure Charlie, in other words. Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim…
It's no surprise that Charlie is the Cosmo Kramer of the group and it's no surprise that his own dead-on imitation is the star of the episode. I could watch hours of Charlie Kramer, whole freaking episodes of it - it's just so perfect. Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim…
I have to admit, finding a way to include transgender people in the actual episode took a bit of a twist, but it's definitely consistent with Charlie's history. But does this mean he always carries a dress around if nature calls? That would be quite a retcon to explore. Right-click to save the GIF. I…
The close of this episode sees a convenient deus ex machina return an Eddie Bauer Range Rover to Dennis - and somehow, the entire gang back to their old status quo. I love how Dennis is blissful and happy while the others are damaged and shellshocked. Somehow, that seems right - and thematically, closes the…

Charlie and Mac take back their childhood by getting revenge on some boys that terrorized them and stole their bikes. When you consider what kids are often like at that age, this scene is both appalling and deeply satisfying. Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim copyright to the material being…
Mac and Charlie also opt for new wheels, and in doing so take a ride badk to their childhood. Charlie does a great job with trick riding! Is there anything he can't do? Besides basic reading and making the waitress happy, that is. Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim copyright…
Dee finally makes her way out of Dennis' private escape room - but does so in an unexpectedly dangerous way. I love how her anger afterward gives way to delight when she becomes the hero of the evening. And the steak is making me hungry... Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not…
"The Gang Escapes" was a solid, fun episode, following the typical Sunny formula of giving the gang a new situation and just letting them be themselves as a result. Here we see Mac negotiating with Frank and Charlie in an attempt to get intel for their Escape Room. Somehow, it becomes all about gum instead...…
There have been some great musical sequences on the show - this isn't one of them. But the most inventive, certainly, and a whole symphony with such instruments would be a wondrous thing to behold.

The funniest joke of this episode is the Waitress finally reuniting with Dennis in a big way. Sort of. Turns out she had a Dennis-sized hole in her life, too. And best of all, Charlie made it happen - poetic justice, eh? Right-click to save the GIF. I most certainly do not claim copyright to…
