Gang Gets Held Hostage was my first ever episode of Sunny. Was channel surfing and my first image of the show ever was Liam licking the side of Dee’s face 😂
What a great introduction. I woke up at my sister's house after her grad party to the gang broke dee.
Wish I found the show sooner but I'm glad here now
@@frankthetank520 gang broke Dee was brutal. I was on the verge of crying for dee at the end .
Mine was the nightman cometh as shown by my friend…it was shocking
I can never remember this type of thing
This actually could be a fun answer to what they were talking about @ 3:14. Have viewers call in with their Sunny introductions. Mine was “who pooped the bed?”
Freakin' Charlie bringing back that thing about Rob rubbing vinegar all over himself as a kid at the beach. "Get his vinegar smellin' ass".
"bad memory" bullshit Charlie!
I would’ve been surprised if anyone else referred back to that and it wasn’t Charlie. He has such good comedic timing. He is amazing.
Must be a running joke for them since Mac assumes the identity Vic Vinegar, bodyguard, in "Frank's Back in Business."
czcams.com/video/8n3LBB7d0AI/video.html
czcams.com/video/eTQoVY0WApA/video.html
Charlie is so quick! Comedic timing gold
That story makes the honey and vinegar realtors episode so much more funny 😂
Charlie choosing to get a jump on his commute over negotiating for Megan’s life is the most on brand “anti-friends” Sunny behavior ever😂
😂😂😂
I could see this happening in an episode and Dennis saying something like "you guys seem to have a handle on this, I'm gonna pop over to the bar for a drink" lol
@@LiShuBen Agreed! I also love how they were storyboarding for future episodes. Denis saying “Curse you Poseidon” and Mrs. Mac spraying Mac with vinegar to repel him when he thinks it’s to protect him would make for an amazing episode!
It’s basically a variation on the original scene that birthed the show: your friend shows up to your apartment to borrow a cup of sugar, then you tell them you have cancer, and they just want to get that cup of sugar and leave 😂
@@FoardenotFord Exatcly! But then they change it to a basketball and everyones waiting in the car so your in a rush. I mean the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one...with cancer😂
the three of them fighting over being the hostage negotiator could so easily be its own episode that it writes itself. all vying to be the one to save the day, so much so that they wind up in the hostage situation itself still fighting while the hostage taker just rolls his eyes. their chemistry is so good is palpable.
Reminds me of the episode they all daydreamed they were saving the day during the gas station robbery
The Gang Saves The Day
Season 9?
As a person with anxiety disorder, I do relate to Charlie saying “I’m easily startled, I’m ready to scramble”
What?
The gang gets held hostage is my favorite episode because it's the first time y'all really let loose and got weird. Jimmy and the rest of the mcpoyles are perfect.
Yeah, it's still one of my favorites.
when he throws the milk on his arm after being stabbed is one of my favorite moments in sunny
Same, it’s a bummer Charlie doesn’t like it because I always thought it was right up his sweet spot
It is for sure in most fans top 10 IASIP episodes.
@@jamesfromthecomputer It'd be interesting to see how often the favorites of fans vs the favorites of artists line up. My initial guess would be not very often, but the reasons why are probably all over the place.
Can we please have Glenn list out everything he hates prior to a podcast and then speak to each one of them on the podcast. Maybe do a "Top 5 (or 10) Things You Hate" episode where each one of the guys goes through their list by rank.
Most hated smells, foods, places, etc
This should be the call in show; they each pick their top hated thing and ask the callers to pick which is worse.
I don’t think they’re going to take any suggestions they said that in one of the first episodes but people keep leaving them. This is like an outgoing thing they’re giving to us, I guarantee it’s gonna be way less fun for them if they start trying to plan out what they’re gonna do and edit segments and prepare shit I think they just want to talk and have fun and not worry about how they’re gonna change the format
you know how many episodes of sunny there is right?
Probably already referenced here, but 37:35 - Meg springing into action like a boss and ultimately catching the gang off guard. Priceless. Full props.
What?
Glenn’s face when he eyes Rob up and down after the question about the sex dolls whereabouts lmfao 🤣 had me rolling!
That doll belongs in a wax museum. 😂😂😂
Based on Glenn's reaction alone, I'm gonna need an episode of Dennis trapped under unwanted sun exposure.
Rob flinching when Glenn tried to touch him was subtle comedic gold.
it’s the subtle “I love you” reeling him in after that gets me
Yes the whole show is good
I love the Always Sunny style cold open - immediately we are thrust into a scene where Mac is yelling about something absurd
I’m so glad Glenn is sitting in that chair so I can see that weird thing he’s doing with his legs… perfect symmetry
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does it
Hahahaha I do this too!
I can't imagine keeping my knees in the same position for half the time that he does.
10,000 Days is such a great album. What is the leg thing though?
I'm so glad you pointed this out
I really want a ghost hunting episode of IASIP. I just see Cricket with a questionably stained sheet trying to be a ghost because Frank paid him. Charlie keeps trying to voodoo it away, Mac keeps trying to date it thinking it's male, Dennis is surprisingly scared of ghosts because they remind him of his own inevitable demise, and Dee wants the most proof to get all the clout so people will like her.
Hah, that's a surprisingly good concept.
Solid. 👍
I think the Mac trying to date the ghost doesn't fit, but everything else sort of fits!
@@feist__ I just imagine he keeps denying the ghost is real because of religion but then a series of coincidences they have staged seem to happen to Mac. After maybe using a Ouija board or something they think the ghost is a man and Charlie makes some stupid comment about how maybe the ghost thinks that Mac is really tough and manly because of his stern denial. Mac suddenly flip flops and keeps trying to play it cool, but find out more about the ghost and how much the ghost is impressed with his skills and strength. Just my brain and explaining my reasoning. 😁
let mac do some God stuff to the ghost and everyting else seems spot on, nicee
I love these old podcasts where they talk about the episodes.
The new ones are entertaining, but I really love hearing their perspectives on their work, how it was created and how they felt about it then vs now.
Man if this was them actually talking about the show……I’m good stopping here. Don’t need to see anymore. It was rough getting to this point.
Love the podcast. You guys seem to get hung up on whether or not the podcast is interesting/entertaining enough quite a bit, which is common for people not used to the format. You have to relax and give less of a shit about it, because you guys are always interesting and entertaining.
Ngl, I'd listen to these guys talking about the color of their BMs for an hour.
I watch watch them literally talk about their day or weekend. They’re just naturally fun to watch and listen to!
They should just drop the pretending each episode is about a sunny episode, they tlak about the episode four about twelve seconds
They need to just leave it to meg and tell her if they ever go off the rails or something isn't good to chime in a certain way to steer them back in the right direction
Honestly I hope they never drop the self deprecation. It’s one of the reasons why I love these guys and what they do!
The gang gets held hostage is one of the best sunny episodes ever made… “STAB SOMEONE!”
“Get on your knees bitches” 😂
Love it. One of favorites!
Milk cures all.
Not even close.
"Damn, you Poseidon" - Dennis Reynolds shouting at the sea lol i was dying imagining this
The fact you guys are suggesting visiting some of these things like the attic/vents has me so excited for the coming seasons. Nostalgia is such a drug
I absolutely LOVE the guys faces when Meg pulls the Die Hard dub up, for some reason that gave me so much joy. Love you all, hope this keeps going even after you finish watching the episodes.
That sound clip was from Die Hard 2.
It’s hilarious how in Sunny Mac is always touching Dennis. But in reality, it’s Glenn always touching Rob 😂
I love how Charlie looks at Rob then Glenn then is like, "Yeah, I'm the best choice for deescalating."
The Gang Gets Held Hostage is one of my favorite episodes lol. The end scene still has me rolling with laughter.
Sound Guy here.
The reason you need quiet grocery bags is because if your vocal take gets bag sound in it (which it will if your actor is using or touching the bag at all) us sound guys can't play and manipulate the audio from a clean starting point so it means we're ultimately stuck working with a layer of bag sound behind your vocal which overall will reduce the options and flexibility of the vocal.
Getting clean vocal takes is especially troublesome with plastic bags because they crinkle right in the same eq range as most vocals so they mess up the take pretty badly.
It also raises issues of phase alignment because if there are several actors microphones recording all at once, you would need to consider phase alignment because the bags would be recording into all microphones and if they were even a few hundredths of a second out of line due to latency, input or editing issues you'd have bad phasing issues all over the place (making the audio overall sound like shit).
Hope this helps.
PS: Big big BIIIG fan. Love your work
The absolute charm and positive energy these dudes can bring just though conversation together is immaculate.
Dennis is absolutely right about the sun, give me gray and foggy all day unless I'm actively planning on hitting the beach or something
*Glenn, obviously, forgive a bored drunk dude for calling it how he sees it lmao
Hell yeah. Fuck the sun. Any day that I'm not kayaking or something I prefer it dark and cloudy.
@tom tom I live in Seattle so kind of covered but man the few sunny days are miserable when you don't want them lol
Bro this podcast is genuinely helping me get over my father's death. I don't know how or why, but it's helping. THANK YOU. I've been distracting myself with media ever since it happened and this for some reason is the thing I was looking for. I know it sounds cheesy, but for real. Thank you
Good vibes your way.
nothing gay. got you. bro snuggles
@@operatoncreation6396 Snuggle hard bro 👊
I know the feeling, I just lost my father too and I totally agree. Thank you guys for bringing some much needed smiles :)
@@leahtomasso1780 stay alive sis. It think it does get better! I have yet to see it, but I'm sure it does lol much love and good fortune to you ❤️👌
The Gang Solves the 'Day Light Savings' Crisis
it blows my mind how they can continuously be so funny on every podcast. I laugh as hard at this as I do at the show
Love that Mac comes to Charlie's defense over the animal he thinks he is, "muskrat" and goes positive with the animals traits.....so goddamn close to their characters......actors, show, writers, producers....all gold. Thank you everyone!!
Lol @ the gun story robs all concerned and Charlie is telling a scary story and Glenn is all like "that's a great line" as if he plans on using it in the future.
It’s kinda crazy how often Rob jumps in with “I wasn’t sure about doing X”, because this era of the show really feels like the gang was just going for it, with no regard for playing it safe. Hard to believe that any of the choices had to stand up to scrutiny, cuz they’re just so wild.
Hearing Rob talking about getting mugged by kids makes the gang gets new wheels even better
"did they take your bike?" 💀
Literally start the podcast mid rant, as if we were watching an episode of Sunny. God I love these guys
Edit: Glenn explaining a different soundtrack for corona is the most Dennis thing ever. When he was talking about something that makes no sense at all as if it were really reasonable, I was like, "Dennis? Is that you?"
He’s trying to soften COVID’s brand
Honestly I want to give Glenn a big bear hug, he seems like a great hugger
Enjoying these podcasts. Love the dives into stories that are tangentially related, but shed a lot of light into their real life personalities. Can’t wait til they get to the Mac and Charlie die episodes
My absolute FAVOURITE episodes
THIS EPISODE… whenever I think of sunny I think of this one. Seriously, that scene when dee completely deserts them and cocks the shotgun, literally genius.
I like how Glenn's mom never calls him because holding the phone next to her ears hurts her hand 🤣. She's probably the inspiration for a lot of Dennis's mild irritations about mundane things 😄
It's kinda similar to Glenn's hatred of chewing. It's a massive waste of time and energy. Just an irrational dislike of extremely normal tasks.
@@cleverusername9369 Well if Glenn is anything like me than the hatred of chewing is uncontrollable. My body just reacts to the sound viscerally and I have to leave
@@catcat5160 Same
I love how much Glenn likes this line from Charlie’s storey at 16:22 .
I love the video version of the podcast because every time it pans out you can see how Glenn sits with his toes pointed
be careful, he's got pointed feet
Gang Gets Held Hostage is easily my favourite episode of the season. Just doesn’t let up in how funny and chaotic it is, with mile a minute betrayals and deep weirdness.
The one that truly killllllled me was the cat food and spray paint one...
I actually don't remember this one.. I'm gonna go back and watch it after the podcast
So the driving with cereal, love of cold brew pour-overs, Dennis starving himself to an unhealthy level, and a gang circling Mac on a bike are all based on real stories.
Next we need to have an episode with a coffee soaked (and peeled) hard boiled egg.
I wish Wolf Cola was real.
@@resipsaloquitur5562 a ‘frank egg’ from his warthog days. Hence, an egg in these trying times.
I fucking lost it when they were talking about how Glenn actually did the cereal thing.
@@angeladeaner7065 He was so upset too, it was amazing
In Australia in the 1980’s we had daylight savings arguments on the news whenever it was trialled in the west. Farmers were saying it would sour cow’s milk and house-keeper’s would complain that it would fade their curtains. It was an awesome time to move to Antarctica which I did because I am a penguin.
How the hell would it fade their curtains?
@@HarryJBurton more sunlight hours, duh
/s
Fooled me again penguin.
@@metabaron90 ......
We actually started daylights savings time in 1918. Not to be a jackal.
I love how unsure is Rob is about that segway in the beginning. LOL
Segue. Segway is a mode of transport for assholes.
@@urmumsbaps chill
One of my FAVORITE moments of the podcast so far is not seeing how right Charlie was about Mister Falcon (though that was great), but seeing the gang's attention suddenly shift as Megan begins to abruptly play the clip @37:49
I love Glenn's face the instant he contemplates someone having the Dennis doll! He did not sleep well that night.
The gang gets held hostage is the best episode that season. It's great that it goes so weird and the McPoyles are amazing.
I'm so glad disney+ has this and the "gang gets invincible" one after the other to make for a great 2 parter story
Oh my god, Glenn kept me in stitches almost the whole time! So funny!!
It must feel good sitting in the middle chair 😁
Super props to Megan lately for expanding the themed content of each episode and keeping things on track in a way. Not that I dont enjoy the chaos sometimes, but you can tell she cares about them and this podcast so much and it shows through the entertainment.
Its appreciated!!
As a window tinter, it’s my life’s work to fight the sun 🤪
the champion we didnt know we needed
@keevin laurie wtf how old are you
Tint-Man Ahhh-AHHHH-Ahhhh, Champion of the Shade!
@@TheScottGillies Damn it, beat me to it...
What's the profit margin on window tinting?
Glenn saying to cancel the sun is me every summer basically
I love the idea of Mrs. Mac having always sprayed Mac in the face with vinegar to hurt him but he thinks it's to tan.
Also I noticed early in the last podcast Glenn was telling a joke and Charlie did the hand circle thing he does in The Gang Gets Held Hostage to move it along faster. I guess he really does that sometimes.🤣
It was to keep bugs away!
Time stamp
@@ananthropomorphictalkinggo6641 my mistake I forgot it was for bugs.
As for a time-stamp for the hurry-it-up hand circle thing you can find it in the Red Nose Rob short of the podcast.
"I could make you fade..."
That's chilling, but also kinda badass...
Except for the fact that it's a grown man saying that to kids.
@@josef2012 oh I agree, total psycho, but damn what a line
Hands down my favorite episode of Sunny and the one I quote the most. "Start breaking bricks, wet nips" is my favorite line from Sunny as a whole.
Also, one of the ADR lines is definitely when Liam is saying "you think I'm bluffing?" His mouth makes a completely different shape from how the line is heard. The other ADR line might be when Mac says "don't be a hero, Dee"
I feel like since last episode Glenn was in a much better mood and I really enjoy seeing him that way :) Thank you all for the Podcast
This episode is coming together. I could totally see Dennis showing up to a wave pull in full serf gear, annoyed at the swimmers.
But that wouldn't be poseidon
So many of the things that bother this trio of creators... like a change of flooring, a wall seen through a door, the alarm/rooster controversey, Dee cocking a rubber gun.... I never noticed any of those details, and I must have watched each episode a dozen times at least.
I guess the lesson is - don't sweat the small stuff. Funny is funny.
So many great moments from this episode that weren't talked about. The McPoyles are always amazing! This was one of my favourites.
Are you from Europe?
OK but the image of Mac's mom spraying him with vinegar to keep him away, and him thinking it's for horseflies, is fucking HILARIOUS
40:30
Glenn: (Talking about the sun).
Me: "SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN. . . shut up about the SUN!"
One of the voice-over lines is when Dennis says to Margret (about her eyebrow) just the word "connected"
Firm handshake for the on time uploads every week.
Yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea!
Firm hand shake on "The Gang" not being constrained by Us and uploading whenever?
Big stonks...
Firm handshakes are toxic masculinity bro
@@pwalk9718 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 holy fuck if anyone ever said that to me in total serious ^^^
one thing I'd love to see happen on the pod at some point is having the actors that play the characters' parents come in for a bit to hear their thoughts on the show and whatnot. even if it was just for a portion of it or they called in for a few minutes. always loved charlie and mac's moms popping in throughout the seasons and I think it'd be really funny to have them on to talk about an episode they were in - mac's dad as well. maybe even dennis and dee's mom before you get too far from her character's death
Good point like having the mcpoyles come in would be hilarious xD
Every single episode of this podcast has just been barely organized chaos, and it's just ... it's beautiful.
I haven't seen the episode in so long, I totally forgot about Charlie not wanting to die never having farted in Mac's face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this podcast so much.
It’s funny that Charlie said he didn’t think this episode was the best of that season. To me, it’s one of the top episodes of the series
I agree with Charlie.
The Sam Witwer name drop? Hell yes! Love his VA work. Between playing as him in Force Unleashed and watching his quiet ferocity in Clone Wars & Rebels.
My god, Sam Witwer is just a prolific Star Wars VA.
He's also apparently the fella who had the belly issues and ended up shitting himself just before an audition and wiping his ass with his own headshots. Legend.
Guys, youre nailing it. My Google feed is filled with articles about this podcast. Just take a deep breath and keep at it. Love you guys.
also want to toss out some guests > Guests should be few and far between but some actors are just...needed:
- David Hornsby
- Jimmy
- Dee (in studio)
- Danny
** Cant wait for the "Charlie Work" breakdown (omg its season 10/11 so it may be a while) but its a damn gem and IMO the most WELL SHOT episode. My boy Charlie shines and the direction is fudgin amazing!!
Definitely jimmy!!! And david hornsby.
They should drop the "The" from "The Always Sunny Podcast" and move the clips to a separate channel. Also a live streamed charity podcast would be great.
you dont want the waitress ?
Sorry for being an idiot, but who is Jimmy?
@@HawkSlam Jimmy Simpson aka “Liam Mcpoyle”
I think I found the ADR for Mac. The line is " I love you." Speaking to Denis at 14: 42 of the episode. Lmao!! And it's hilarious!!! 😆 🤣 😂
19 years. Holy fxckin shit!! The “Gang” has been a positive part of my life for a long time. Super grateful for you guys!! VERY BROWN!!!
The Gang Gets Held Hostage is one of the legendary level episodes.
Do you think they realize how much they are like their characters? It's honestly jaw dropping...
It's more that they perform their characters with their own mannerisms/speech patterns. Rob is definitely the most different from his character and Glenn the most similar, but both of them act the same as Mac and Dennis from time to time at least based on this podcast.
I do think the line "DAMN YOU, POSEIDON" becomes infinitely funnier when set in a wave pool
The gang go to a waterpark
37:33 - I love how Meg excitedly springs into action in the background.
the way Meg takes charge @37:35 and added in the audio is good grounds for a raise in itself!
The conversation at the end about “never leaving the safe zone” of sharing with family was very relatable and unexpectedly impactful. Don’t cut that
We keep talking about Glenn coming in hot, but Rob jumped in from the start like a bat out of hell and he kept that heat for a while.
"Maybe there's an apology that goes before the stabbing" had me 🤣 - delivered so sincerely! Lol.
I also enjoyed this episode. I love Jimmi in your show, he is hilarious! The fork stabbed / milk always makes me lol.
Anything with the mcpoyles / rickety cricks will always be hilarious
Every single episode is amazing on always sunny. Whenever my family is trying to get out of an argument together we scream "im going in the crevice" and it stops lmfao
You guys should do a D&D episode where Charlie is the DM. Frank will obviously take the Troll Barbarian role
Charlie and Rob immediately sounded like they were gonna mug Glenn. Never been jumped, eh? Strokes beard..
I’ve always thought that the gang going to the jersey shore definitely needs more then 1 episode and the vinegar + punching the wave + getting jumped by kids on the board walk all fit perfectly together for one
Glenn explaining the super power of slurping up his food in acid instead of eating it made me realize where 33% of the jokes on Sunny come from.
Glenn needs to do something more with his Australian accent. It's the greatest thing I've ever heard. I need to see him play an Aussie in something!
Oh man 😂 the gang attempting to negotiate a mugger and arguing over the best technique to do sounds like a friggin hillarious episode
Re: hostage negotiations: Glenn is out as he'd get annoyed the quickest. Mac I feel would have the best, most cogent points; but I'd send Charlie in as he's the most likable. He'd make the captor laugh and calm down and probably grab a drink afterwards
And Dee would do nothing, because she's just a big, dumb, flightless bird.
But how much does this guy weigh?
I've been catching up on these and this is the first time I've checked the comments and it's because of this exact question.
Seeing ye lads here is probably the least (but also most pleasantly) surprising thing.
I have a question for anyone that sees this.
Mac
Dennis
Charlie
Jay
V1
OOC
Which person would you say is each of the 3 lads from Sunny? I go OOC as Dennis because of how little bullshit he tolerates (and I'm sure he has a STEVE system). Jay as Charlie, arguably the most loveable guy despite potentially eating cat. V1 as Mac. I don't really have anything on this but I feel like if he got mega rich he'd also spunk a lot of his money on a very nerdy comedy like mythic quest and some shit football team.
I love when they talk specifically about what they were thinking making specific decisions. That’s what I come for.
This was the first episode I ever saw! I had no idea who the McPoyles were or anything. I absolutely loved the end when Liam just says "Later, bitches!".
I would absolutely love to see an episode where Dennis gets angry, punches a wave, and curses Posiden, and Mac's mom sprays him with vinegar, even if they have already done an episode with a beach, pool, and water park.
We 100% need to see Mac’s Mom with a spray bottle full of vinegar! Like it needs to happen
I can so see her on one of those crappy plastic beach chairs from the 70s/80s, cigarette in her mouth, just spraying him and grunting and then telling him to “fuck off” or something. 😂😂😂
Lord, yes.
Rob punching the ocean has "Old Man Yells At Cloud" Simpsons energy.
I find it incredibly heartwarming to know that you guys are friends and make each other laugh all the time. It makes the show much more special.
The episode was epic because it pushed the boundaries of what you can make light of in some of the most severe circumstances. This is punk comedy at its finest. The reason i love the show so much is because it sees no premise is off limit.
i feel the EXACT same way as Glenn does about the sun 😂
Love the idea of a longer Q&A with the guys!
Awesome getting to know these guys better through the Podcast. Glenn is a real interesting guy.
I'm australian and listening to you all do an aussie accent is hilarious. love it
This is one of my favorites. Charlie’s vision was just so sweet.
“Ryan Stab somebody!” Is one of my favorite sequences
