THE GANG TENDS BAR - we’re always running outside, out into the world, looking for riches and treasures, when we’ve got everything we need right here.

Can we talk about the fact the fact that the "one thing [Dennis] wanted more than anything else in the entire world" was not, in fact, the RPG. He doesn't care that there's no ammunition for it, or that he can't actually use it as-is, because what he really wanted was for someone to think of him on Valentines day. That was why he put the anthrax in the box. to stop the others from excluding him. Because even if they were being horrible to each other, he still wanted in on it.

For Dennis, the fact that he wasn't given gifts by the rest of the gang indicated that they didn't love him, and Mac giving him that RPG proved him wrong. He of course would never say it out loud, and still clearly works to suppress the full extent of his emotions even when he's just had an emotional outburst and is on the verge of tears, but Dennis craves this symbolic reassurance. Even as he actively pushes people away, shuts them out, pretends he's emotionless. He's upset that the others actually believe this mask of his, take it at face value and can't see past his lies. He wants to be seen and understood and he wants to be loved by his friends.

very prominent "potential is infinite" sticker on this pillar of paddy's pub in the gang tends bar. the tragedy at the core of always sunny is these are the people least likely to realize it. and as they are on the lowest rungs of society, no one will help them either

16 seasons & 4 presidents later, they're still in the same place they started; a shitty dive bar in south philly

the anthrax being sugar all along is the key to dennis' whole character.

dudebros on r/iasip just see the anthrax (aka the façade) and accuse us of just seeing the sugar (aka the truth), but the thing of it is, when you see the sugar, you can also see the implication of anthrax, and that explains everything about the way the world works in dennis' mind.

When Dennis said "You figured out the one thing I wanted more than anything else in the world and you got it for me." he wasn't talking about the RPG. All he wanted was a gift. He wanted to feel like his friends cared about him. He wanted to feel seen and he wanted to be acknowledged in the same way as the rest of the group. Mac figured it out and he got that for him. Dennis didn't care that he couldn't shoot the rpg because that's not what mattered. What mattered was that Mac got him something. Something thoughtful and nice that made him feel even just a little bit understood.
