Kaitlin Olsen, the actress who plays Dee, actually insisted her character become as bad as the rest of them starting with season 2. That's why she becomes more involved with schemes and the like.
@@joshuadoty4682 You should check out her other show she had The Mick, it's pretty funny. Also she does great physical comedy, which is not a field many women go into.
Lmao 🤣😆" You get dick, because you are a follower and a thief". One of franks greatest quotes with more to come 🤣😭👌Loved the reaction and your smile. This show is something else and my top #1 favorite. Can't wait for more
My favorite episode. I love how you have these two pairs and each doesn't want to work. Thnlen they take very different paths. Love the social commentary 👌
The cost of the crack rock always threw me, until I read the comments of another reaction - apparently (If I remember right) a single rock is only like $8-10! So, not the best deal XD
Crack is super-cheap and super-addictive (also a very short high, so lots of consumption), which is why the CIA had such success using it to destroy Black popular movements in the late '80s while generating illicit funds for their illegal undeclared pro-fascist wars in Central and South America. Ref Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance" for more info, a work for which corporate media drove him out of journalism and to suicide.
Dennis and Dee are my favorite pairing! They pair off and group up VERY often in this show and whenever Dennis and Dee work together it's a GREAT episode!! 😁
Does anyone think that Dennis and Dee are listening to 'Just a Friend' by Biz Markie because it was the song after they listened to 'Shove this Jay Oh Bee' by Biz Markie
Here in Detroit I can get an 8ball of rock or coke for about 190 (little smaller than a golf ball) but more than likely is laced with fentanyl, you'd think they wouldn't want to lace coke with a downer but crack and coke is not physically addictive so they use fentanyl to get you addicted but you run the risk of immediate death. In Michigan rehabs wont even take you if you only do coke or crack, you gotta say your addicted to alcohol, pills or heroine to be accepted
This show provides so much social commentary. This episode is basically telling us that taking advantage of government programs, like SSDI isn't as easy as people say. HOWEVER, the point here is that 1. There ARE people who need it. 2. There's a legitimate correlation between substance abuse/mental illness and social security benefits. You have two people addicted to crack, who, due to poor life choices have developed a dependence on the system. There are people capable of helping themselves. There are some people who aren't.
Absolutely and I'd add that it shows the wealthy (I know Mac and Charlie aren't actually wealthy, but they're clearly meant to represent that when they're riding in a limo drinking champagne) being the ones actually taking advantage of the welfare system. It's a hilarious episode about shitty people being shitty, but it's clear they very consciously went against the public perception of welfare.
@@schmuck.on.wheels Most definitely. And to add to my first point about Dean Dennis, I think what it is also showing is that unless you really need these kind of benefits to survive, you aren't actually taking advantage of them. Because as you can see, people like Dennis and Dee who are capable of actually working, ultimately have their lives ruined by living a lifestyle that is dependent on social security benefits. There are some people with mental illness and substance abuse issues you genuinely need the support. There is some people who may be capable of helping themselves and because they're not doing so, they develop mental health and substance abuse issues because they're choosing to depend on the system rather than take responsibility for their lives and their decisions. This is what this show does, and I hope this is what Eva will start to understand. The show is actually brilliant, and it's clearly written by very smart people. Glenn Rob and Charlie are well educated people and they're clearly very smart and they know how to write a script. And then on the other hand, the way they address these issues are laugh out loud absurd and funny. The show deserves all the credit it never has gotten. Forget the fact that it's the longest running live-action sitcom of all time I will argue with anyone that given the content it covers, it's longevity and the hilarity of it, it's always sunny in Philadelphia is the best sitcom ever.
Don't know how widely it's known, but a "hotshot" is a murder technique, ideally for a victim with a history of intravenous opioid use. It's a deliberate overdose, which appears self-inflicted and unintentional if nobody looks too close (and sometimes even if they do, if you're careful). 3:45 The side-eye is everyone. Just perfect. 4:04 Warning: digression. There's actually a really interesting historical theory about how the fairly unique British/American system of chattel slavery created modern racism. Prior to it, Europeans primarily defined their identity via religion, ie. the Christians v the "heathens" (nationality/regionalism was probably a/the secondary aspect). As slavery became established, though, Christian missionaries began to convert slaves, as they attempted with all "heathen" populations. Christianity caught-on with the slaves, and this became a huge issue; it was fine to enslave a heathen, because they're not really people, but a fellow Christian? Really dodgy moral territory, especially if you're worried about your soul going to literal Hell. So the slavers needed a new distinction to justify enslaving some people and not others. This is where the concept of "race" came into it, and is also why "race" is so vaguely-defined and subjective (eg. in turn-of-the-century America, neither Irish nor Italians were considered "white", but certainly were in later decades); it was always a slap-dash justification for forcing people to do your work for you. As such, slavery (or, more accurately, slavers) created modern racism to legitimize itself (themselves). I don't know how much crack is currently, either, but if I was going to buy some, I think I'd take 10 seconds and do a Google search. Dennis and Dee are nothing if not lazy.
Danny Devito's line at the end always gets me cracking up: "Because you're crackheads, children." Dee and Dennis realized that in order to get welfare payments, they had to pretend to have a mental disability and crack addiction. So they went out to buy crack and "magically" became addicted. Unemployment benefits in America only kicks if you lost your job for something out of your control or have some sort of disability. Dee is no longer the "voice of reason". The show gives her plenty of time to develop her "awful nature".
Mmmm, not exactly. D&D *assumed* that was the best way to get welfare, because they're right-wing ignoramuses who don't research. Hence the reaction of utter boredom and disdain on the part of the gov worker. If D&D had actually looked into it, they'd know that a scam like theirs would at least require medical certification, etc. The idea that UI benefits are at all over-funded is laughably untrue, especially in the US.
Hi Eve from down under! You know your name is a palindrome, so I'm guessing it's a huge advantage when you have an international audience since however way you write it, both hemispheres can read it the same way!
