Silky Johnson That's not what depraved is, means, or looks like. Depraved is more like crawling out of a sofa naked or any of the guys under the bridge.
It can have two meanings... adjective: depraved morally corrupt; wicked. "he was a depraved lecher" synonyms: corrupt, corrupted, perverted, deviant, degenerate, debased, degraded, immoral, unprincipled, reprobate; (archaic) Distorted out of the normal course; abnormal. 1836, Michael Ryan, A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence The taste and digestion are often depraved, anorexia, nausea, inappetence and vomiting supervene, the woman desires innutritious or disgusting food, such as chalk, cinders, putrescent animal food, […] 1916, Veterinary Medicine (volume 11, page 759) There was a constant dripping of urine from the penis, a depraved appetite and meninguria. On examination, two calculi were easily felt, and I advised the owner that an operation was all that would save his animal […]
That's why you're supposed to make a paternity test with all the children, someone claims to be yours. It is estimated that 1 in 5 children in the US is not from the guy, who thinks he is the father
Dick Smalley what are you kidding me? That’s a sin adultery is a massive sin and they can’t do that! Damn hoors! I would react like this too I would not accept raising bastards from my hoor wife! I would teach her a lesson like Dennis did with the shusher and the implication.
This would be a fairly reasonable reaction in real life. This would actually be a very powerful and unsettling scene if it was in a drama instead of Always Sunny.
I think this is the moment the Frank we all know was born. He was for sure downhill before this moment, but once he realized his life has been a lie; he just takes a nose dive. And its been fantastic.
The Frank we all know was born in "Charlie Gets Crippled" when the stripper offers him a free lap dance and reluctantly goes "...Well maybe just one." It was all downhill after that.
@@aguy7848 I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. While Frank was definitely heading downhill; agreeing to the lap dance and wanting to live the depraved fringe lifestyle with Charlie, he was still wanting to spend time with his "children" Dennis and Deandra after "The Gang gets Crippled" episode. For example, Frank in that season wanted to spend quality time with Dee during the "Hundred Dollar Baby" episode. I feel once he knew he was tricked into raising two awful children for decades at the end of Season 2, all bets were off and Franky was born.
@@RockyMtnFuzz If I may retort, he may have cared about the twins for some time after, and still does to a degree, but his professional "real adult" facade began to erode at the strip club. If he said no, he wouldn't have got addicted to banging strippers or decided to voluntarily live in squalor with Charlie. He made the final transition to Mantis Toboggan here. But the fuze had already been lit, this is just when it exploded.
@A Guy I love the civil debate about the most uncivil characters ever written. You are much better humans than any of the Reynolds. But on the other hand it think both of you are illegitimate bastards!
Watch Devito's acting at 2:00, hes clearly on the verge of panic -- translates straight to anger. This is a totally legitimate reaction to Barbara's revelations.
Is that true? Is that when he goes full on Frank? I love the show but havent watched every episode and the ones I got I did not see in order. Is this what caused Frank to go next level?
@@RobD-jq7ry I think most fans see it as the turning point of his life. He came back into Dennis and Dee’s life to reconnect with him, but was also having some sort of mid-life crisis and wanted to get involved in all The Gang’s schemes. By this episode I think he threw all his care out the window and possibly is making up for the time he lost raising kids that weren’t his, as well as all the time he spent building his (shady) businesses, by getting really weird with the time he has left.
Honestly, the biggest mistake this show ever made was killing Dennis and Dee's mom off too early, she such a horrible person to hate and I feel they could have used her throughout the show in plenty of great bits.
For some reason I ALWAYS forget about the part where Danny yells "JESUS Frank!" Over and over again and it always gets me, if I'm not already laughing anyways
Except a better person wouldn't be upset that he had had to "raise two bastards" and would be upset that the kids he loved weren't really his. It's understandable that he would be pissed at his wife and call her a whore, but if he were a decent dad he wouldn't have included the kids in his tirade.
No, it isn't. Frank was a piece of garbage waaaaay before this. Vietnam sweat shops, shadynasty, playing Eugene's fakeout on young Dennis & Dee, throwing bodies of people into soup, etc.
@@Machiave11iBefore this he was just selfish and pragmatic (in a pretty sociopathic and unethical way). After he turned completely unhinged, wanting to actively live in animalistic squalor.
What really gets me is that in spite of how horrible a father and a man that Frank is, you see he is positively devastated to know he isn't Dee and Dennis' father.
he genuinely most have loved Barbara at some point to have this much hatred for her She’s the real villain of Sunny, he probably obsessed over work to be away from her and satisfy her greed, while she turned both “their” children into psychopaths
This is brilliant. Even though Frank’s wife seems sensible at first, she turns out to be cruel hearted, and even though Frank seems rightly indignant at first, he turns out to be completely unhinged. It becomes clear that their powers combined create the likes of Dee and Dennis who in turn are really just as awful
And men like Bruce Mathis and Ari Frankel saw her as an angel. Those two men make me mad for some reason. Especially the actor who played Bruce (Stephen Collins). The man is an absolute disgrace. As for the actor who played Ari (Josh Stamberg) he’s a much kinder person in real life. I sometimes think that Josh Stamberg’s real father is Stephen Collins, but I know he looks like his mother Susan so that theory of mine isn’t valid. Susan Stamberg is Jewish and it’s forbidden in Judaism for children to be born via surrogacy or sperm donation. I don’t think Susan Stamberg would want anything to do with a disgraced man like Stephen Collins
This is one of the most brilliant scenes in the whole series! A BIT more serious tone compared to what they've got going now. I wish they did more stuff like this, a bit less over-the-top.
Danny said on the episode of the podcast he guested on that one of the things he loves about doing the show is the real emotional core to it. He's totally giving it his all in this scene, not trying to be funny but just to truly live his character's outrage and betrayal. If not for the "Sunny music" at the end and the rest of the characters reacting like Frank's rant and collapse was just an embarassing faux pas, it would be absolutely tragic.
Danny DeVito's acting in this is so damn good. his facial expressions while she's telling the story, the way he stutters and sounds exasperated amazing
Shan Yes “my whole life’s been a lie.” The only bit of legitimacy frank had was Dennis and dee; after being told they weren’t his he realized the life of filth and immense wealth being built upon the misery of others was his only calling in life. Since 2008 his life’s been slowing devolving.
