paul-r-cfc Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Slow intentional process. Dennis was never 'a player', he's always been a Sociopath. I read an interview that said they try and make him even more frightening every season. It certainly works. Sadly, if folk don't know this it probably looks like 'trying too hard' but knowing it's intentional makes it pretty impressive viewing IMO as they have nailed it. The slow burn reveal of his madness over the seasons is one of the highlights of the show. Makes rewatches interesting to see the signs 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I think 'The Gang Goes on Family Fight' from Season 10 is a bit underrated. I especially enjoy Dennis's slow walk followed by the deadpan, 'No... no. No, my shoes are fine, I assure you. They're made of the finest Italian leather; the fit is perfect, therefore there would be no room for lead.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the quality of that episode, although I always find "Bottle" episodes in new locations a little unsettling. I think what has always sold the Dennis is a maniac arc of the show is the way he falls apart when he interacts with people outside the group, especially when trying to impress folk or when his ego is threatened. The reunion episode being another example obviously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they have ruined other people's lives cracks me up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean more in the way he will slowly melt down from a calm and cool, everyone is embarrassing me sort of vibe to a screaming mess/writhing on the floor by the end of the episode. What's the first episode that implies the serial killer thing? Is it when they're following the waitress dressed as clowns? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Glenn Howerton say the "implication" scene in that was when they realised Dennis was a monster. A quick google says The Gang Buys a boat is 6.03, and the episode I'm thinking of is "Mac is a Serial Killer", 3.10. Tbh I feel like there was probably a tipping point where it went from Dennis is ambiguously a creep/deviant to Dennis is a monster but it could really be any of those moments in the first 5 or 6 seasons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Glenn Howerton say the "implication" scene in that was when they realised Dennis was a monster.Aye the boat one is a few seasons after. That scene is hilariously disturbing. Funnily enough the scene where he tries to get girls into the bunker is neither of those seasons. So it goes to show he has these psychotic moments every year [emoji38] Even the scene where he bangs the woman on the plane and they both laugh to which Dennis shouts her down with a "not you!" is frighteningly funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely one of the episodes I would show someone trying to get into Sunny for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Have been powering my way through this on Netflix. Don't know why I've never watched it before.

Just watched "The gang try desperately to win an award" from season 9. That song from Charlie at the end [emoji1787]That episode is absolutely outstanding. It's a play on the fact the show is usually snubbed in the awards and they do it so well comparing it to a the bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Dominique, you banged me. Like, right away. I hardly had to do anything. Tabitha, you did the same. But most importantly, you banged each other. And you let me watch. Awesome. Edited March 2, 2020 by DrewDon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 My foolproof plan for when I get the Coronavirus: Pfft, no chance I'm getting sick. The minute it broke out I knew what to do. The only downside being I've been permanently pished for weeks now and there's no paracetamol to get rid of the headache. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Watched PTSDee last night, Dee going to Dennis style lengths to get back at the stripper for calling her his rock bottom, she's amazing at being a terrible person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
