"Don't be like Dennis" Is a pretty solid way to live your whole life.

All I know is that wine in a can makes sense

"The solution to one gun is more guns." As an American this is pretty accurate.

Interventions aren’t super popular but they do actually happen. I worked at a fast food restaurant and witnessed one myself. I guess Chick-Fil-A is a good place to tell your friend he needs to stop doing drugs.

I like how as soon as Charlie mentions Night Crawler, he immediately realizes that he may have to explain it and that it is a weird thing to do even by his own standards

Interventions were a popular American TV trope in the 80's and 90's. I don't think they're as common or seen as that productive these days

"What has happened in Charlie's childhood that made him like this?" Uncle Jack: 😐

That isn't boxed wine, it's an adults juice box

You can't detain people here either for drug issues. An intervention (in my understanding) is just a way to try to convince someone to voluntarily enter treatment

"When you mix cannabis and alcohol, they have what's called a synergistic effect." I believe the medical term is "crossfade."

i absolutely love how you're like "yeah...i get it, you're just vile human beings!" but then two minutes later after she's doing that mouth thing with the spit you're basically "oh my god get me some salt right now!!"

if you were my therapist I’d probably be a functioning member of society by now

Love these reactions so much! PLEASE do The D.E.N.N.I.S. System (Season 5 Ep. 10) and Flowers for Charlie (Season 9 Ep. 8).

It would be interesting to see a video about the Dr Phil and the troubled teen camp scandal, camps/treatment centres that he is connected with and how lots of patients were abused there.

I feel like, "Don't be like Dennis" is just good advice in general lmao

9:13 If you've read the theories and put together some of the hints in the show about Charlie's childhood abuse that might answer your question. A reaction video to "The Nightman Cometh" from this perspective would be interesting

Yeah interventions are real. Its basically a bumch of loved ones of that individual getting together in desperation to truly tell the person everything they feel, what they are worried about. How much they love them. Often times they write notes with talking points. Its a whole thing.

Boxed wine is absolutely a thing and is great for poor college students or frugal people with low standards. I have been in both of those categories in my life. Canned wine is also a thing now, so Frank was ahead of the times!

Apparently "liquid courage" is known as "Dutch courage" in Britain... All this time I thought Michael Caine was making it up in Austin Powers.

I’d love to see you react to the Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre episode or really any episode with the McPoyles in it.

My absolute favorite thing about this episode is that Frank's first reaction to a probable fire is to aim a gun and possibly shoot at it.

This is one of my all time favorite episodes. So many tiny details like the wine stains on their teeth. Plus I love outsiders being baffled by the Gang (the psychiatrist, aunt donna, etc).

Yes, interventions are a real thing here in the US. There was even a TV show called "Intervention" on A&E. For me, a positive aspect of the show was the presentation of the addict's past, told by that person and family and friends. Not sure how I feel about seeing the actual drug seeking and use itself. There's a line between educational and exploitative. There are full episodes of the show here on KZfaq. I'd really like to see your reaction to one of those.

I need you to do a video unpacking Charlie's childhood! It's.. a lot..

"Be nice, be loving, be caring. Don't be like Dennis." Solid advice for any situation 🤘 Love your channel :)

you should react to Char-Dee-Mac-Dennis . it’s the best episode and the one that needs analysing the most

There is a tv show called Intervention in the US- but I’ve never heard of one actually happening to someone around me personally. Could still be a thing, but not in my experience

Always happy to see more deep dives on Sunny. I'd love to see you do either the episode Charlie Day: King of Rats, or Dennis Reynolds: Making a Murderer.

I now see canned wine all over the place and it always makes me think of this episode

yay, i was *so* hoping u would do another episode for always sunny!! as an american i can say YES, people really do have interventions for their friends/family, but they're mostly treated as a joke otherwise

I will always love Dennis’s response to Charlie asking if they’re going overboard “I think the yelling and, pointing and, accusing and, saying that he’s trapped and surrounded is the right thing”

This is like studying how intervertions work and doing the exactly opposite. Absolutely wonderful!

I love when you pause and explain some of the most insane details of the plot. It's why I love this show. The storylines are so over-the-top bizarre that I've sort of accepted this is normal for "Sunny". You're explanations help bring to light just how off the rails the show gets.

I love your review of sunny because you can point out the medical stuff but also laugh at the funny stuff. Too many people try and take the gang seriously when they watch this stuff for a professional review

I mean, I've known for a wee while that I have a drinking problem tied heavily in to my depression, anxiety and general insecurities. The statement about covert drinking being a problem really hit home though. I've been doing that BEFORE I realised I had a problem. Now it's really highlighting just how long this has been an issue and how bad it's gotten now. I'm drunk now though, so this revelation is likely gunna be lost in the haze of tommorrow... I need genuine help, my life is a mess and I live in constant shame and lonliness. The only time I can bring myself to be real about it is when I'm shitfaced, which only prompts sober me to drink more in a ridiculous facade of telling myself I'm doing it in order to confront my issues while really still just using it to mask everything. My life is inevitabley going to come crashing down for good at some point, most likely sooner rather than later. Yet dispite this knowledge, I continue to self destruct. I know what I need to do, but I simply can't bring myself to do it. Instead of reaching out I continuously hide the truth from everyone and I'm so far gone, I don't see a reasonable reality where I get through this. I'm not well and I don't think I ever will/can be.

Dr. Elliot is so grossed out by Gail the Snail, I can see him finally breaking and going for the salt.

"Don't be like Dennis" is a lifelong goal.

That is so in interresting what you said about nightcrawlers. I bet if Charlie were asked why he did it he couldn't even really tell you. Your reactions to the gang are hilarious though, you seem so innocent!

Dr. Elliot - Yes, in American interventions are a thing. Normally it is done around close family and friends. It usually takes place in a family room of a private house. The participates are normally open and honest with the person in peril, and show they come from a place of love and understanding. Normally it is done to ask for the person to seek treatment, like a rehab center or to see a therapist. Everything showed in Sunny was the direct opposite of reality. Doesn't take place at a bar. Nobody is drinking or carrying weapons. The person in peril knows right away it's an intervention, not a roast section. BTW, the episode was hilarious, one of my favorites.

yes please more sunny! literally any episode! i like seeing you analyze the gang

It is so funny to hear an actual professional reviewing the gang. I liked the Legal Eagle but this is even better... Thanks for this doc!

Frank gurgling up beer he just swallowed is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Judging by the collection behind him, this doctor has both knowledge and experience 👌

“The solution to one gun is more guns🤔?” -The American way

“Interventions aren’t really a thing in the UK.” -guy with a shelf of liquor in the background

I wonder if another intervention episode would be good 'the pez dispenser' in Seinfeld has one and also happens to be one of my favourite tv episodes ever - unpacking George Costanza would be quite something

Been having a slightly bad time lately. Your channel has cheered me up quite a bit. Keep up the good work, you seem like a top lad!

Just found your channel. I am loving it.

Love how this about an intervention and there is a shelf filled with alcohol in the background. 😂

This is the first video I've watched on you're channel so far, I've gotta say I love you're content! About to binge a lot of you're videos 😂

Really enjoying your videos man! Keep up the good work

Next: Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 6 episode 11 please, the main character Jake doesn't believe in therapy, also he was triggered and he brings up something interesting unprompted... Great reaction as always!

“The solution to one gun is more guns” the US in a nutshell 💀

I love your reaction videos, only found them recently though but they are still very interesting. I would love to see an analysis on 'The View From Halfway Down'. It's my favourite episode of Bojack and I would just love to see you're take on it!

I found a new way to enjoy iasip. Great channel!

Yes! Day made and video liked before you even started. I already know that I will enjoy your professional insight into the most perfectly insane show ever put together

I was so excited to see how he reacted to the snail, perfect!

If you ask me, interventions are two fold, by having them the family and friends get to learn strength from each other and the therapist, they learn to stop being enablers and have each other to lean on for support to walk away from the addict of they choose not to get help. The addict when they arrive is told that they're loved and cared for, then listens to how their addiction affects the people they care about and are given the option to seek help for their addiction in order to maintain those relationships or continue with their addiction, but lose the relationships with all those people until they do seek help. The person with the addiction won't always choose the help, but it is beneficial to the group of people attached to the addict because they will lean on each other for the strength that they might not have otherwise found on their own.

Love the content man! Great stuff! Could you do the Chardee MacDennis game of games episode???

As a UK based social worker, Id say the closest thing we have to Intervention is either mediation or Family Group Conferencing - but they're all carried out from a social model rather than a medical one.

I'm going to keep pleading that you react to the two EUPHORIA SPECIAL EPISODES. Thank you. :)

"someone is going to get shot", that person would, undoubtedly, be cricket.

I love the always sunny reactions!

Omg please do, “mac and Dennis buy a time share” poor Ben smith hahahahaha

11:00 it gets me everytime when he busts in thinking theres a grease fire.....with a gun, asking "wheres the fire!" while locking the hammer. Like bruh, what are you goanna do to a fire with a gun? How is the gun gonna help, i love it! Its the most american thing i can think of in the moment, they only needed to have him in a cowboy hat with some links hangin out of his pocket.

Dee is drinking a can of Wine there! LMADO! The big COOL thing the gang finds in that episode is Boxed wine and putting it in soda cans so they can go around all.day and everywhere drinking wine LMADO!🤣🤣🤣

love your vids, i watch the bojack one a lot. u should do more bojack, maybe like free churro or something

I'd love to see you breaking down an episode of My Mad Fat Diary! That show really had an impact on me in my teens

Please do more reaction videos of Bojack Horseman!

Time’s Up for The Gang is certainly one worth checking out!

Such a great show! .. Also, always sunny is a great show 😊

8:43 Charlies face. OMG this show is genius. LOVE IT.

Not sure if you've done it yet, but I'd be curious to see your reactions to "Making Dennis Reynolds a Murderer" from IASIP. I'm sure there's probably plenty in that episode to pick through that would be worth your time.

Love the channel

i don’t know if you’ve seen better call saul, but it would be cool to see you react to an episode about chuck’s illness.

Anyone else notice the lil’ bar on his right whilst he comments on alcoholism lolll Also love your channel ☺️

I like how informative and funny your videos are. :) would more BoJack reaction videos be on the cards, at all? :)

Items in your background are very fitting

Just found this channel, binged lots of videos, subscribed because I love it lol. Interventions are definitely a thing in the US, not overly common but one happened to me. It’s basically a giant guilt trip that makes you feel nothing but shame and regret to the point of seeking help. Not pleasant and not helpful, in my opinion.

I have never heard of someone having an intervention. But I have had several scares where I thought I was about to be the subject of one.

we even have boxed wine in the uk, in pretty much every shop lol. I used to like them a lot.

Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack Season 4 Episode 10. You mention Danny Devito and his roles in other movies, this has a pretty cool part to it

"Is that a box of wine? Are they a thing?" I don't appreciate you calling me out like that.

Really enjoy these videos, especially the ones about sunny. You should check out some HIMYM too I think. There's probably a lot to unpack looking at Barney, Ted and Lily's marriage

Here in America, interventions mainly consist of grabbing the subject of said intervention while they’re vulnerable and least expecting it, throwing them in a trunk, then taking them to a secondary location where we put them in a chair in the center of a pentagram made out of Big Macs and cylinders from Colt revolvers. We then form a circle around them and repeatedly yell “YOU’RE TEARING US APAAAART! YOU’RE TEARING US APAAAART!” In thick Brooklyn accents. It may sound a bit harsh but our healthcare system pretty much gatekeeps poor folks out of therapy so we find alternative solutions.

Here in the U.S. there's documentary tv series called Intervention. Not sure if you can find it over there but it would be fun to watch your commentary on it.

Insurance in america usually covers something when talking about dependence issues. There are also free community programs. Also if you get arrested on a charge that involves alchahol, you usually get therapy to help with that through the state

I had a friend whose heroin addiction had gotten really bad, and he was stealing from all of us. We were worried he was going to OD, as so many of our friends already had. So we had an intervention for him. He went to rehab and moved in with his parents for awhile while going to therapy for the underlying causes. That was 2014 and he's still sober, so it does work sometimes.

I think interventions became more popular after TV shows where they would give an intervention to someone who was addicted to something or other. I could be wrong but there was an ep in 'How I Met your Mother' where the group is loves giving each other interventions.

Boxed wine is actually a thing in other places than the US as well. Here in the States, it has generally been reserved for lower-quality wine, but in recent years it's expanded to nicer wines in some cases, usually due to sustainability and environmental reasons. I also lived in Japan for a few years, and all kinds of wine are boxed there, even nice sakes in some cases. 😁👍

7:46 "They're all dependent on alcohol" says the man with loads of alcohol just --> ROFL.

You should react to “The Gang Squashes Beef”

It's a big thing. They have "facilitators" who get certified from organizations that help organize and guide them. Often they are ex addicts. It's a group confrontation where everyone tells the person how they are hurting them. The goal is almost always to get them from the intervention into rehab. We had a whole TV series that documented them. They seem to devolve into screaming matches at some point every time. I don't know if there's ever been an studies on how effect they are.

8:09 wow Anterograde amnesia is that Blackout sensation

2:45 This is obviously a man who has obviously not seen Gale the snail yet! 🤣

Theres a tv show called intervention where they show people addicted to drugs and alcohol and the familys process of getting help for them. its quite interesting.

Gail: *sucks her spit in* Elliot: "I can't cope with that. No more of that, please" Me: "Oh, strap in, my guy."

Frank was my dad in the last 10 years of his life. What a crazy fun time that was.

Yes an intervention is a way to help a person in America, usually only for extreme cases and doesn't go like this. Also great video :) got a couple a of laughs

Hi Dr Carthy, I'm curious what the post medical degree process for psychiatry training is like? Do you have to do exams, have practical clinical tests? What did/does it feel like to do? I'm a final year PhD student in Pharmacology in the UK (muddling through a thesis and viva prep at the moment...) I've had some had experience researching some psychiatric medications (and been on an SNRI for depression in the past). I'm curious to learn about the clinical training side of things! Not to travel down myself personally but I feel It's important to share perspectives.
