![]() ![]() Kim - who not coincidentally looks like Kim Jong-il - must be stopped, lest, in gang logic, the North Koreans “take our way of life.” Mac and Frank commandeer Dee’s talent show so they can field a competition that will top Mr. When the new Korean BBQ joint threatens to outshine them at the annual pub crawl with a new microbrew, the gang decides BBQ owner Mr. Writers: Charlie Day, Scott Marder, and Rob Rosell “The Gang Solves the North Korea Situation,” Season 3 Finally, a viral video created by Frank leads the shusher right to Paddy’s, where the gang is waiting to get their revenge, and we get confirmation once again that, online or off, they are collectively the Mark Zuckerberg of the most anti-social network in town. Further digging into his Facebook life leads Mac and Dee to a meeting with another, even creepier, stalker of the shusher, and then another meeting with the much older woman who catfished the shusher’s stalker. So while they return to the place to stalk the shusher and have words with him, Dee and Mac decide to stalk the rude dude via Facebook, instead, only to end up obsessing about why it’s taking so long for him to accept the friend request they’ve extended. A viral video is their way to emulate the new place’s success for Paddy’s, they decide, but Charlie and Dennis are still stewing about one of the patrons at the gin bar, who had dared to shush them during a loud discussion. The gang concludes that a pretentious, but popular new drinking establishment that serves nothing but gin and doesn’t even have a sign outside is successful because of the Internet. And speaking of tunes… Charlie is incensed when he finds out Dennis and Mac are letting the McPoyles, his enemies, hang at Paddy’s, leading him to declare he’s going to “rise up” against them in a little song called “Rock, Flag, and Eagle.” Unfortunately, doubling down on his American rights doesn’t prevent him from getting stabbed with a fork by Liam or one of Frank’s buddies from losing a game of Russian roulette with a loaded gun, making the takeaway of this ep that, well, maybe there is such a thing as too much freedom, at least when McPoyles and Frank Reynolds are running amuck in your world. They quickly change their tune, however, thanks to Frank’s out of control game night patrons who are doing drugs in the bar, and the presence of Liam and Ryan McPoyle who show up to knock back their signature drink - milk - while making out with their mute sister, Margaret. When the anti-smoking group turns out to be led by an obnoxious actor - who smokes - Charlie loses his patriotic mind, while Dennis, Mac, and Frank decide the best way to honor their American freedoms is to turn Paddy’s Pub into an anything goes-zone. Kelly dons an eagle-patched jean jacket and flag bandana and tries to join an anti-smoking organization. Charlie’s response: the episode title says it all, as Mr. When Dennis’s cigarette habit prompts Charlie and Dee to suggest they ban smoking in the bar, as many other establishments have, Dennis, Mac, and Frank take offense at Dennis’s freedom being taken away and charge Charlie with being un-American. ![]()
