I really can't recap my love for all six seasons in one post so I am bringing it to you one episode at a time. Tonight I will be bringing out one of the most underrated episodes. An episode that when you go back and watch it, you feel as if you are being reunited with an old lover, which is exactly how I think they want you to feel.
Season 5: The Gang Reignites the Rivalry...
The episode starts off the way all episodes should, with Frank showing off his new skinny jeans, that he will be stuck in the whole episode. Thank you Danny DeVito for being alive. Then Sweet Dee arrives at the bar to announce that Paddy's Pub is back in Flipadelphia, a city-wide flip cup tournament that they were "muscled" out of for poisoning their rival bar, Molly's. Flip, Flip, Flip, 'Adelphia!
Dee would like to jam it up Molly's butt holes but she choked in '98 and needs time to redeem herself. I mean, she is their 'Aldephia. While Dee practices her flip cup skills, the gang puts some gas in the rivalry. They go to Molly's, which seems to be a nice restaurant now and remind the staff of the rivalry, by pissing in their bar. Dee is kicked off the team for having bison sized fingers, Frank is named team instigator and they must find a replacement for Dee. Where, you ask, where Dennis learned to hone his God-given flip cup skills, the Delta Omega Lamda frat at Penn. Side note: It is easy to forget that Dennis and Dee went to Penn.
When Dennis arrives at the frat, Frank is there showing off his skinny jeans with a hoola-hoop. Another classic moment. When Frank is denied Ludes, he takes a snortsky of Riderall. The new brothers do not receive Dennis well and he and Frank are kicked out, angering Dennis to a rage level that even Mac can't reach. Charlie and Mac decide to take over the recruitment of the frat kids while Dennis focuses his weird rage on the manager of Molly's, Art Slone.
In one of the most classic scenes of all time, Frank and Dennis go to Art Slone's house to continue reigniting the rivalry. Frank, still high off Riderall, ties his shirts in knots while Dennis nail guns his shoes to the ground. Then they go to the bathroom, where they complain about kids not having any respect while overflowing Art Slone's toilet and sinks. Frank meanwhile cuts the shower curtain waist high so when he showers, people can see Art's junk. Dennis feels like the Riderall is having a great affect on Frank, so he decides to "blast off."
Meanwhile, Mac and Charlie have gone to the frat where they are having a paint party. They get painted by hot chicks and right when they are about to paint the hot chicks, they get kicked out for not being in the frat by the same little idiots that kicked Dennis and Frank out. Charlie tries to keep them in by pulling a Good Will Hunting on their ass, but seeing as though he has a tenuous grasp on the English language, that doesn't go too well.
Back at Art Slone's place Frank is doing Art's taxes so next year the "IRS will audit the piss out of him." The damage is done with a masterpiece created by Dennis of fire on Art's front lawn that reads, "Paddy's Have Respect Idiots I Am Legend."
Over at Paddy's, Dee successfully flips 10 cups in a row to prove she should be on the team, when the gang realizes that their new rival is the frat kids. So, it's on the way to the frat to challenge the kids to one game of flip cup, if they win, the gang gets to go to their frat parties whenever they want. If the frat kids win, they drink at Paddy's for free forever. Dee is going to start the team off...Of course, Dee is crushed by the pressure. The frat kids win, but do they? Paddy's had already won, by poisoning the frat kids and Dee of course.
The next day at Paddy's the guys are trying to get Frank's skinny jeans off, when Art Slone shows up on the day of Flipadelphia. After finally caving in and going to Flipadelphia, he is mad that the gang didn't show up. After extending a competition at his bar, the gang let's him know they are over it and he slams the door on his way out. Something they all find rude, "who slams a door?"
Best Quotes
After Dennis finds Frank doing Art's taxes he says, "That is so weird, that is so weird, that is like long term shit, I like that, I like that."
Frank to Dee - "Your mother had to have a c-section because of those hands."
Dennis to Art - "Hey, pump your brakes there pal, slow down for a second, what is your problem exactly?"
Art to the Gang - "What's my problem, you disrespected my business, you vandalized my home all in the name of some stupid drinking competition and when I finally cave in, you don't even show up."
Dee - "Show up to what?"
Art - "Flipadelphia"
Dennis to himself - "I am a legend."
Final Observation: By a long shot Dennis' best episode to date.
