Since It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has no internal barometer of right and wrong, the topics discussed on the show veer from the absurd to the offensive and back again all while remaining irrefutably hilarious. The only problem with that formula is the fact that on occasion, the show moves into territory that’s likely to offend even the most jaded of fans.

This latest episode, “The D.E.N.N.I.S. System,” begins with the show’s namesake explaining the acronym that has served him so well in dating. Of course, the litany of disgusting tricks is all but abhorrent to Dee, although, Mac, Frank and Charlie seem to be eating it up. And for good reason too as it seems that Mac and Frank have been picking off the emotionally crippled women after Dennis is done with them. Sunny’s a class act all the way.

What viewer’s have to do is attempt to put aside the queasy feeling that Dennis evokes from individual guts and just continuously remind oneself that it’s all for comedy’s sake. And it is. The plan that Dennis so adroitly relates to his family and friends is then put into practice – again – as he attempts to win back a woman that he’s seduced with his skills. Along the way, as the whole cast is integrated into a single plot line for the episode, everyone gets to contribute. Well, except for Dee, who’s been convinced that her war veteran boyfriend is secretly using his own plan to manipulate and ditch her.

But before the gang even makes it out of the bar to woo the waitress and a pharmacist that’s been introduced for the episode, Frank reveals his own strategy as to how to wrangle love. He just goes to stores and buys condoms suited for girthy dudes and figures that he’s “demonstrating that I have a magnum dong.” Good plan.

As the boys have set into motion some plan to win the favor of their various love interests, Dee’s momentarily wrenched from their presence as her boyfriend takes her on a picnic. She’s already suspicious of him, but the kind gesture doesn’t help matters – nor could his attire as he’s bedecked in jean shorts, a tucked in polo and some boots. Classy. Eventually Dee runs away, hurts herself and winds up being taken to the fair to meet up with the gang.

The culmination of everyone’s deceit and posturing in order to gain some physical attention – although, viewers should be unsure as to whether or not Charlie wants nothing more than a role in the hay with the waitress – is played out near the fast pitch booth. There’s really no explanation of the weather here as it seems to be rather nice, the waitress sitting around in shorts.

But that’s no matter, the wheels fall off of everyone’s intertwined plan that Dennis so thoughtfully conceived – he went into some classical composition mode for the figuring. But each character get’s what they deserved and then some. Dee even gets stabbed by a carney – what better ending to an episode.
