"Are Mac and Dennis the Greatest Will-They-Won't-They in Sitcom History?" - @k8mckinnonstan

As filmed by yours truly and @macdenlover (x)

yes i like it's always sunny as a television show. yes i think they went too far with some things. yes i understand what they were attempting but i still think it wasn't the move. yes i love charlie day but my feelings about robert mcelhenney are too complex for me to put into a text post. yes i think they dealt with some subjects well and others not well. yes I think some criticisms of the show are stupid but some are definitely valid. yes I'm unreasonably obsessed with it for some strange reason i can't entirely ascertain. caveat caveat caveat and i stand by that shit

names….

Can we talk about the fact the fact that the "one thing [Dennis] wanted more than anything else in the entire world" was not, in fact, the RPG. He doesn't care that there's no ammunition for it, or that he can't actually use it as-is, because what he really wanted was for someone to think of him on Valentines day. That was why he put the anthrax in the box. to stop the others from excluding him. Because even if they were being horrible to each other, he still wanted in on it.

For Dennis, the fact that he wasn't given gifts by the rest of the gang indicated that they didn't love him, and Mac giving him that RPG proved him wrong. He of course would never say it out loud, and still clearly works to suppress the full extent of his emotions even when he's just had an emotional outburst and is on the verge of tears, but Dennis craves this symbolic reassurance. Even as he actively pushes people away, shuts them out, pretends he's emotionless. He's upset that the others actually believe this mask of his, take it at face value and can't see past his lies. He wants to be seen and understood and he wants to be loved by his friends.

When was someone going to tell me there is a promo video where Danny DeVito calls Mac and Dennis gay and then Rob says Mac would top?!?

We’re the SAME AGE
