"stride, stride, stride, stride, execute!"
what if. what if the reason they've never shown mac kissing a guy... is because he's never even actually been with a guy. like all of mac's talk about having so much gay sex is really just him being delusional about being a successful gay when he in fact has zero rizz, just like how he brags about doing backflips all the time but he never actually does it
Oh to be Jack Bauer holding Dennis' hand.
love him in his gay little hats
Shouldve put a couple "no homo"s in here like I'm not convinced
mac has never been told 'i love you' in his life btw. if you even care.
Thinking about how Charlie had thought of Mac as his best friend ever since Dennis banged the Waitress in season one, if not his entire life, only for Mac to say it's bullshit. The entire time Charlie had thought of Mac as his best friend, Mac has thought of Dennis as his. Surely, this wasn't always the case. Mac had been friends with Charlie far longer than he has been friends with Dennis. For most of their lives, Mac must have thought of Charlie as his best friend. When was it along the way that Mac's idea of who his best friend was shifted? When did he decide Charlie no longer fit the bill? What if I started throwing up and screaming and punching the floor?
"I love you."
On the note of this scene, the romantic undertones of both interactions are just so crazy to me like please. Charlie kissing Dee and telling her he loves her is romantic in nature and directly parallels Mac telling Dennis he loves him, which causes the audience to believe Macdennis' "I love you" is romantic as well.
Sorry to be the billionth person to bring this scene up, but the way Mac looks at Dennis after he tells Dennis he loves him eats me alive. The jaw clench, the flustered eye contact, the way he glances down at Dennis' lips for a split second, Dennis' reaction?? SEDATE ME.
this photo is my roman empire
dream macdennis reveal would be mac wearing a "kiss me i'm irish" shirt and then dennis does
I can't stop zooming in on every insignificant detail of Mac and Dennis move to the suburbs...
"It's a shame 'cause you've been looking so great lately. So sexy!"
I have so much to say about this scene oh my god.
Starting with the fact Mac is just casually watching shirtless men workout on TV. But this scene is SUCH good proof that Dennis 100% knows what he's doing, aka nurturing Mac's dependence on him, aka literally using the SINNED system on Mac right before our eyes.
The use of the word "sexy" here is so interesting to me, because Dennis could've used so many other words to describe how he views Mac's physical form. He could've said Mac's been looking so strong, or ripped, or tough, or manly, but instead he lands on the word sexy. And he says it so deliberately!! He knows it's the best word to describe Mac. It's the most effective word he could use to convince Mac to go back to the cult, because if Mac is in the cult getting fit and not eating Thin Mints, then Dennis will think he's sexy. We can tell Dennis' verbiage works too because of the way Mac cocks his head. He's almost surprised at the descriptive use of the word "sexy." He straightens his posture. "Oh, Dennis thought I was sexy?"
Mac is visibly upset at the notion that Dennis is disappointed in him. This is such an obvious use of Dennis praising and then withholding praise from Mac. Dennis is fully aware that in giving the dog a bone, Mac will do whatever it takes to earn the more significant prize. Dennis allows Mac a fragment of his praise because he knows in doing so Mac will believe it's possible to earn more. Mac knows what it feels like to earn Dennis' affections and now he wants nothing more than to have that back. If Mac can please Dennis just enough, he might be praised by Dennis again.
The absurdity comes in later seasons when Mac follows Dennis at his heels like a lost puppy, desperate for Dennis' love and affection, and Dennis acts as if he didn't purposefully and meticulously train this man to act this way. Dennis Reynolds truly is a bastard man.

"If that's what love does to your eyes,
Then I would be blind,
You're like the morning sun,
And, oh, it hurts so bad,
You keep me warm even though I might be dead inside,
I can't get any closer,
Oh, how hard I tried. "

You guys need to start greasing some dudes I’m gonna freak out!
I always get whiplash watching Mac's relationship with Carmen because she is the only person we've ever seen be unapologetically into Mac and in turn we see him get all nervous and giddy and it's so ahhhhh and then he immediately ruins it twice
I think one reason It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia resonates with people is because it doesn’t try to present a sitcom reality in which things are always okay and work out, where conflicts are always resolved and where the characters are quirky but not dysfunctional. The Sunny characters are fucked up and they deal with their fucked-up-ness in fucked up ways and often those fucked-up ways are the only ways they have available.
And I think for some people it’s oddly comforting to see that reality displayed on a screen.
If you’ve had an experience in your life where you’ve had to deal with a broken system or where you’ve realized that the only things available to help you cope are imperfect at best or fucked up at worst, if you’ve ever looked around and realized what you got isn’t fair but there’s no way to rectify it….then this show will resonate with you. It makes you feel seen, in some odd way. The way that love and care genuinely exists alongside hurt and trauma and bad decisions and bad circumstances. And it’s all mixed up so you can’t even pull apart if you wanted to. And people don’t get it, so you don’t even try to explain it. And it’s a little fucked up, you know that, but it’s also so good sometimes, and that’s what people don’t get. And, for better or worse, it’s yours. It makes you feel like oh I wasn’t crazy when everyone was acting like I could fix this if I just followed the right steps, but none of those steps actually exists in the way they think it does. And then you just have to laugh, you know? Because this shit is funny and life is funny and it’s good, honestly, it is still good, even when you’re crying, even when it sucks. Something something it’s always sunny even when it’s not, you know?
Or idk maybe you’re just a dudebro who thinks dArK hUmOuR is funny. I’m not gonna tell you how to live your life.
