I was watching an Amphibia clip on YouTube and…I *know* they just did this to have more Gravity Falls shout outs but when I paused to see the cover…
I couldn’t help but think “Ford, no…” 😂
Who knows…maybe it is in another dimension where he published stuff…
Though…
Would he *really* wrote about Bill in it? Maybe…maybe as a warning lol

celebrity booze: the ultimate cash grab
“hollywood celebrities right here in philly huh?” “I don’t love it” rcg wanna be regular guys so bad but they also wanna be rich and famous 🙄
second mention of picking a lane/staying in one’s lane (also maybe the car ride in shoots is connected to this motif?)
is it just me or does glenn say fortune in such a funny way??
rcg are just straight up self-mythologizing via this show and it’s weird to think about sometimes. I’ll probably try to write a separate post about that
mac dennis and charlie however are just three guys being dudes :)
“I think I’ve pinpointed a small market trend that we could corner but that could also totally represent us” is this as self-explanatory as I feel it is?
dennis is a CLOWN man like he is so confident in this absurd name and that is such an important characterization for him
“have you ever heard of a little show called… malcolm in the middle?” the joke being that they’re literally so out of touch they’ve apparently never heard of breaking bad, which is so fitting and so funny. does this lack of awareness also serve to illustrate how the gang is stuck in the past? or how they have trouble separating persona from person, even within themselves?
the insane and abusive silencing of dee… I definitely think something is coming together with her this season (dayglomasochism was sharing some great ideas about this in this post). she doesn’t want to circle, she wants to be included, but doesn’t want to be dragged down, etc.
the dynamic between her and frank is clearly significant, I mean everyone else is exploring their parent issues and dee’s dependence on him is a major theme this season. they were laying on the parent-and-child vibes pretty thick in this episode with her asking if she could look at his phone and frank telling her what snacks she could have and where to go potty, so I do think they’re trying to evoke that deep-seated dynamic and I’m very curious how dee will level up from here.
the sheer sass in mac asking dennis if he knows who michael jordan is is so satisfying
followed by the smirk that left several dead and hundreds injured
“can we stick with the one thing, please? stick with the blend!” “well this is a blend of ideas” and mac talking with his hands <3 I’ve missed that about him
“yeah but it’s a blend of too many ideas. I don’t even know what you’re talking about half the time” what is it’s always sunny in philadelphia really about?
the blend thread was one of the main messages of this episode. it’s so important because it’s not just a character commentary (dennis struggling to finally allow conflicting aspects of himself to coexist, to blend - give me dong AND give me death as @sunnykeysmash so eloquently put it) but also a show commentary (sunny has evolved into more of a dramedy, and this whole season they’ve been reconciling the differences between the old sunny and the new sunny and trying to blend “16 years of baggage” with their new vision for their project). I do give props to rcg for committing to this and letting the show evolve with them as people, clearly from episodes like big mo they have spent a lot of time thinking about it and trying to make the right choice.
the whole conceit of bryan and aaron in this episode is so insane. why did they make these extremely famous and respected actors come on their show just to be proxies for their gaysonas’ drama?? rcg really said “these are our little guys and they’re really fucked up but they do love each other. so what if you guys came on and did a whole thing like that but as yourselves? and it’ll be an amazing performance but it was really about us the whole time” and presumably bryan and aaron were like sure okay and put their whole pussies into it!
when you think about it mac and dennis are just dos hombres
dennis “I didn’t like that :(“ reynolds (after aaron intimidates them) - can he connect the dots between this and his own behavior? will he???
charlie really said improvise adapt overcome 💪
I know someone on tumblr is keeping a piss count so what are we at as of this episode? cause we’ve had dee needing to go number one and now gritty smh 🤦
the whole gritty thing is so surreal it’s almost dreamlike to me. did mac really make a mistake or is he just fucking with dennis? is this just for laughs? because it is funny but it’s just SO strange. like I get that it’s probably meant to evoke the world series defense episode but that had context… this is just so random. I guess maybe gritty was there as like a promotional thing in conjunction with dos hombres? maybe I’m overthinking this lol does anyone have any thoughts??
dennis needed that bonk on the head SO bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
him just touching mac’s breast…
mac and dennis come into the plane mid-bicker and frank and dee stare at them. god gay people are so annoying
“I think you’re in an abusive relationship” I enjoy this way mac has of talking in more recent seasons where he’s actually pretty good at observing certain dynamics but seems to have this clarity around it that is very selective. “he keeps making homophobic jokes” “this is so distasteful” “I can’t engage with you on this right now”
“you really should do drama, I think you’ve got the goods” something about the seeming non-sequitur between each show (mitm and bb) and how bryan does in fact have the range, and maybe sunny has the range? something about the blend, something about dee being minimized almost completely out of existence, something about the idea that people can consciously choose to stay in a fucked up relationship because they want to, because they also get something out of it, because they hold more power than they may seem to. much to think about
