The climax killed me. Charlie pouring the bottle of water down the slide, Frank's back, the bloody water - Goddam AIDS blood in the pool!
The only negative was the drain thing. A girl did die that way and it's pretty not funny.
One of the jokes this week was a dead kid floating face down in the pool, and last week Charlie got shot while being a black kid...
Oh, I know, but loads of kids drown and get shot. One kid had her insides sucked out by a pool drain. It's too specific.
Frasier's probably on Netflix.
I wonder what percentage of posts of disagreement on this board are textbook examples of the either/or fallacy.
I think my main issue with the drain thing is that it's not even a funny premise. The ep should have ended with Dee saying, "There's goddam AIDS blood in the pool. I hate this water park!"

This is one of the few shows that can still pull off the classic Frasier/Seinfeld style of shit piling up and piling up and ultimately culiminating in a big final moment based on the last twenty minutes of precariously-piled-set-up. Dee and Mac landing in the pool full of AIDS water and Mac's sitting on the drain pipe is the perfect example of this. I was laughing.

I mostly loved the Waterpark episode. The subplot with Dennis and the teenage grifter was the best part, I wish they had explored that more. The jokes about the girl chewing through her prolapsed anus were not funny, and they sort of made me queasy. I kind of got anxious imagining being stuck in a waterslide like that. One of the only times this show has made me uncomfortable, but it made the laughs that much better when they came.

I thought Charlie acting like Richard Grieco and actually having Richard Grieco in it was the funniest part. And Frank's nazi hallucinations.
Oh and daft twat seems to have never read/heard of "Guts", which I mentioned before he even went off on the "it really happened" argument.
I certainly have not. I read a description. Gross. Christ.
Look, anyone who loves Sunny, and I do, enjoys black humor. I am not saying they went over the line. I just personally didn't find it funny in an episode that I thought was really funny overall. If I had an issue with it, it's that as far as I know, this happened to one kid, so it's a little too specific. Random drowning kid? No problem. That's happened to thousands of kids. Anyway, looking forward to the next ep.

I have to be honest...I really do not like the Chardee MacDennis episodes. I think it easily some of the weakest stuff in the series. It feels like they are just throwing shit at the wall.
