What did you think of this season? Get a GREAT deal on Nebula now: go.nebula.tv/captainmidnight

I genuinely believe them rewatching the earlier seasons for the podcast whilst writing this season has had a huge effect on how they have written the show.

The moment Frank found the bathroom and extra bedroom (then everyone finding it) had me rolling in laughter. It was a fun season.

Can't believe you'd do season 12 like that... let's not forget the gang goes to a water park, hero or hate crime and Dennis double life

Man I actually found the last episode w/ Dennis to be the best episode in years. The reveal of all the characters in the doctor's office at the end had me absolutely rolling.

My favourite part of episode 2 is Mac meeting his Uncle, who is his dream Dad, then ignoring him.

The last episode definitely seemed directly inspired by a story Glenn told on one of the podcast episodes, where he had a car get stuck in a parking garage. I think my enjoyment of that original story, plus the fact that I identified a little too much with his over the top rage over things like not being able to get ahold of a human on the phone, made me enjoy the episode despite of some of its problems. I just love Dennis as a character too much to not love an episode that is mostly about him.

The bowling episode felt like an instant classic

Dennis takes a mental health day was definitely my favourite episode of the season, it was all about the suspense and slow build up of tension, you spend the entire episode waiting for Dennis to snap and kill somebody, you know he is a psycho, you see him getting more unhinged with each scene, you are just waiting for the series to confirm this guy is actually a serial killer and that is where the enjoyment came from. It was a mix of comedy and thriller that I have never seen before, really cool stuff that could only work in sunny with Dennis and this building mythos of him being a serial killer over so many seasons. After the conclusion it had me feeling like the character Dennis was living a day in Glenn Howerton's life kinda like a weird matrix thing, I actually think Dennis is the golden god of the Sunny universe now

0:19 Hard disagree about 'since Season 11.' Season 12 alone is one of the best in the history of the show imo, a proper overlooked gem it seems.

For me the episode that crystallized into art was Dennis's attempted day off. The whole episode I just kept looking over at my wife and saying "Am I crazy for kinda being on Dennis's side here?" so when at the end it suddenly leaps into the surreal with him plunging his hand into the CEO's chest and consuming the ruby he pulls out of it I started laughing so hard I began sobbing uncontrollably for almost an hour. It was simultaneously so cathartic and such a wonderful punchline to a shaggy dog story that I don't know if they can top it.

To me it really felt like “more of the same” in the best way possible. Every episode felt consistently funny and makes me very hopeful for the future.

It being a 2 room apartment with a bathroom while they have been pissing in cans & sharing a fold out couch bed... was a gag 17 years in the making of always having those doors there but nothing being done with them.

The characters were also less one-dimensional. They’d been writing the gang as a caricature of themselves for several seasons. Bringing back a lot of supporting characters gave them room to breathe and bounce their insane energies off of. Best season in years!

As someone who despised the Ireland episodes, this was a very welcome return to form. Frank vs Russia is among the best episodes and Dennis' Mental Health Day not far off that either.

The heart rip in the season finale had me rolling 😂

4:05 frank vs Russia literally had me on the floor at the end. I hadn’t ugly laughed like that watching something in years 😭😭😭

The Dennis solo episode was an instant classic. This season was legit an all timer

Podcast has made me appreciate Charlie as a creative much more because judging by conversations they’ve had on the podcast I think you can see he’s had a firmer hand on this season than usual.

Completely agree. I loved this season. However, the season finale might be my favorite Always Sunny episode of not just the season but the series. At least, top 10.

Funny how ppl either strongly dislike or love Dennis takes a Mental Health Day. I really liked it, after Frank vs Russia it was my second favourite episode this season. I agree that S16 was solid, however I also think there were some good episodes in the last couple seasons. The fandom is quite harsh on the show not being the same it was 15!! years ago but I’m just glad they kept it going for so long. But tbh, I kinda wish they would wrap it up next season. Not bc I don’t enjoy Sunny anymore, but I want the whole cast to be there for the finale. I feel kinda bad writing this, but Danny is quite old and while he is thankfully still fit and healthy, we don’t know what the future holds, especially if they’re gonna start producing the next season in like two years or so. It would be nice to have one more season, maybe like 12 episodes long, with recurring characters like Pondy, Artemis and the lawyer….. and then it just sort of ends.

I think having writers Marter and Rosel back this season probably played a big roll in it feeling like older seasons

I dont think I've seen a show go so long and maintain such a consistent quality. Shows that go this long always have a dark ages period but I don't think It's Always Sunny has had a wholly bad season.

I’m glad someone agrees!! Frank vs Russia is one of my new favourites. Up there with ‘Who pooped the bed?’

They’ve been doing so many experimental episodes the past few seasons, and for as fun as many of those film pastiches and homages were this season felt like a return to form and felt like a breath of fresh air as a result

Frank vs Russia was the hardest I've laughed in awhile

Dennis takes a mental health day was honestly my favorite episode just because of the way Dennis reacts to everything. Was definitely laughing the most at that episode.

I was surprised when they did acknowledge Charlie's sisters again after all this time. That's some early seasons deep lore. The Frank vs Russia was definitely the highlight of this season.

Mac wasn’t dressed as a Miami Vice character, he’s dressed like Michael Jordan in the 90s in huge oversized suits.

Imagine if the final season of It’s Always Sunny had the gang unwittingly change for the better along with unintentionally fixing all the lives they ruined, culminating in them being confused at being thanked in the finale.

Can’t believe I’m going to watch 16 seasons of television for a 11 minute video.

“Dennis takes a mental health day” might be the best episode they’ve made since Charlie Work.

My only two complaints with season 16: 1. I agree, the season is too short And 2. Mac needs to get his beard back. Seeing Rob’s chin upsets me

The bowling ball episode was GOLD. Dennis throwing the punch then revealing to mac that hes broken every single bone in his hand was hilarious 😂

The scene of Frank winning the chess match while the device goes into full throttle with the triumphant music playing in the background is amazing, probably my favourite moment of the season

Dennis creating a entire scenario where his day just goes completely wrong and ends with him ripping a man's heart out to deal with stress during a dentist appointment was a solid episode. It was such a peak Sunny joke, it was like hyperbole of the old Always Sunny gags, taking it to 200% and still making funny jabs at today's society. I also think the bowling episode was Dennis at his best, shattering his entire hand on a Test Your Strength machine and holding in that pure anguish because it makes him look like less of a man was another great one

I did struggle with the Bryan Cranston episode as I've never really been a fan of shoehorning in celebritied playing themselves. I think you are spot on though about the shorter seasons, Legit I didn't know it had already ended until the intro of this video

My group of friends and I thought the two-episode premiere was kind of middling/forgettable, so imagine our surprise when pretty much every episode after those two hit. Kinda feels like they were out to prove themselves after that Disney cash infusion. We've been a little tepid with the "new" Sunny so we're thrilled to see them back in their groove!

I cant believe the show is almost going on 20 years. Im a few months older than the first season and I cant believe a sitcom from that long ago is still running. Hope it makes it to season 20

The scene in the final episode when Dennis got a new phone was so perfect. I work for Vodafone and the amount of times customers get better deals if they're new rather than existing loyal customers is insane. Dennis' anger was so justified it was hilarious

As someone who hasn't listened to the podcast, I loved the final episode. Also, my new favourite quote is "I summon the very fact that I am a man!"

Listening to the podcast might've had the opposite effect on me. Dennis' day off would've been great if I hadn't already heard Glenn tell this exact story on the pod. I've also noticed their over reliance on the "move past it!" line. They also mention loving in it on the pod but because of that i'm hyper aware of how often they use it in this season alone. Still a fun

Wow, 16 seasons in and it’s still kicking ass, very cool

Frank vs Russia was a Sunny Masterpiece lmao

I was pleasantly surprised with this season. The Chuckie Cheese episode, the Bowling episode were definitely my favorites. I love the McPoyle bros and can't get enough of them. They've been missing for too long. It's good to see the supporting characters back again this season. I agree the season was WAY too short. But I'm grateful for what we got.

The gang goes bowling was such a simple and suttle episode but yet hilarious to watch

Dennis takes a mental health day was the best episode of the season

So I’m not the only one tuning it week after week waiting for episodes 9 and 10?

The last episode was my favorite. The social satire was on point, a little bit of group crazies sprinkled in, and the ending was divine. Frankly, much like the cruise episodes to end season 11, this felt like a good series finale.

It was enjoyably consistent

Very interesting that we had virtually the same views on the season as a whole but our views on which episodes were the best and weakest of the season were almost all opposites

It’s always a good day when captain midnight uploads a sunny video

the 8 episode season felt like I got locked out of my car after leaving my phone on the roof

Frank vs Russia might be my fav episode ever

I'm ngl 2020 A Year In Review is the most I've laughed at a show possibly ever, normally I am not a fan for super topical episodes, but that one hade me in tears 😂

Also, talking about the Sunny podcast, I remember when they went over "Charlie has cancer" and talked about his sister's being there, the guys said that they had honestly forgot that Charlie had sisters. Then in 16 when they go to his sister's house, Mac says that he forgot that Charlie even had sisters. I would really not be surprised if that joke was inspired in part thanks to them rewatching the show due to the podcast.

Dennis’ mental health day is one of the best they’ve ever put out.

I enjoyed the newest season a lot more than I expected to, especially the last couple of episodes.

I loved this video even if I personally think Dennis Takes A Mental Health Day is one of my new favorite Sunny episodes overall. Complete agree that this season was full of nonstop hits even if some weren't quite as phenomenal. Felt like a return to classic Sunny in the best way

Dennis takes a mental health day was great and very relatable.

Its nice to see 2005 classic still being appreciated today by many people

Mac wasn’t dressed like a Miami Vice character, he literally wore the same exact outfit as Michael Jordan

The McPoyle Ball cleaning scene made me laugh so hard

Best episode of the season was the finale for me. I have watched it like 6 times, each with a different person who had not seen it. Just perfect

Your title alone made me watch s16, I had quit the series after the s15 ending, and I'm glad you released this video cause the new season is so GOOD

Saw the title and I already agree, glad to see them being fully creative and explore new ideas again

So glad to know that this show is still going strong! I'm catching up to the current seasons & man this is one of the best comedies I've seen.

i absolutely loved this season, it just kept getting better and better

Charlie's mom yanking out her own teeth was the most unhinged thing I've ever seen. I loved it.

Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day was easily the BEST episode of this season. You're out of your damn mind.

It's always a good day when Captain Midnight uploads!🙂

Loved a lot of recent Sunny, that Ireland finale had me bawling, but the criticisms are fair. The podcast has done immeasurable good for the quality of the writing lately, and it's no longer in the trap that South Park has fallen into of having to be a "social commentary" show instead of a show about real people.

The Gang Gets Cursed is one of my favourite eps. Really felt like a S3 4 or 5 episode it was so good

Dennis takes a mental day was based on a story Glenn told on the podcast about getting his tesla stuck in an underground garage.

I thought the Risk E. Rat's episode was perfect IASIP. I had a hard time getting into the show and finding it funny, but I think that one perfectly encapsulates the characters and the show's tone in a way I wish I would have been able to see earlier on in the show. It's one I'd feel most confident in showing to someone else to give an idea of what the show is in a way that isn't too jarring as I felt the first couple of seasons could be.

I honestly think the only bad overall seasons are s13 and s15, but even those have some gems. The fact they've manage to keep this show going for so long and still manage to get a laugh out of me is impressive in its own right.

I just love how much you love sunny like the rest of us. Great video. I agree on the 8 episodes

whaaaat? that last episode was a masterpiece

Yayy just in time for my workout. I love your videos

I agree with most of what you said, but you did the McPoyles DIRTY. They are easily my favorite characters of the series. Great video!

Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day was my favorite episode of the season by far. The writing was incredible- the reveal at the end was so goddamn cool. I loved the beauty of the cinematography and simple special effects at the end with Dennis and the TSUMA guy on the beach. But most of all, Glenn’s performance was fucking outstanding. I so badly need to learn the monologue he gives when talking to Daisy on the phone. I’ve said so many times before, when people give Glenn the opportunity to go full Juilliard, the results are absolutely insane. Also, I absolutely loved the fact that the episode was inspired by Glenn’s own story about his stranded Tesla. It really felt like a gift to the hardcore fans who have watched the podcast and can recognize the storyline and be like, “Hey! They did the thing!”

I’m very glad you made this video because I just finished this season and I think the show was better than ever

Brilliantly articulated, and although I won't stand for McPoyle slander I see why I loved this more, it definitely felt like coming home. Great take!

You didn't cover The Gang Gets Cursed! Probably my favorite episode of the entire season. Just stellar writing all around and a great performance from David Hornsby as Cricket. Still, great video, I loved this season too. Cheers!

I'd love to see a video about Party Down! Such an underappreciated show.. hope it gets another season!

lol dude acknowledged how we all hate company apps and then pitched one at the end 😂

Dennis takes a Metal health day was probably my favourite episode of always sunny. Instant classic with one of Glenn Howerton's greatest performances, as well as some lovely rips on modern day life.

dennis mental health day might be a top 10 episode from the entire series. it really feels like they took the concept of the frank pov episode and learnt from it

the season finally was my favorite

We know how insane Dennis is; so the last episode where he made a fake mental health day with using the people around him, while providing a realistic look with how we’re dependent on technology now is perfect.

I wasn't really feeling this season until the back end episodes. The bowling one and malcolm in the middle one were great. And the finale with Dennis was spot on.

I like to watch them the first time when they come out, then come back later after the rest of the series and revisit them, makes them feel like classics

My least favourite episode this season was the Malcolm/Breaking Bad one. It just didn't land for me. And Tsuma (the name of their in-universe Tesla) is Japanese for wife.... not sure if that has any other meaning but found that interesting

Episode 8 was a Glenn episode 100%. Just like the whole last season was Charlie Day's idea (btw the others werent keen on, and i agree). It was about his experience with his Tesla getting stuck in a garage and his boba hatred. Unhinged Dennis is fun imo.

It had season 7 energy 💪😂

I had a good time watching this season. And the Dennis episode was great you fool!

Just finished this season, it was great

Im old as dirt, and i remember Sunny being on TV but i never really gave it much of a chance. Well this summer i have, and wow it so refreshing how non-PC the show is, they are all terrible people and its hilarious. Just finished Season 2, working my way up there.

Mcpoyles make any episode a banger. I need more cricket also. He's effortlessly funny

I love that the Chuck E Cheez guy is from That's a Bad Idea. Awesome sketch group.
