Glenn came in complaining about how he spilled cereal when he was driving to the set one morning and all the writers couldn’t get over the fact he was eating a bowling of cereal while driving so they literally made an episode out of it 🤣
i love how charlie repeatedly describing objects as “fuzzy” on the tape implies that he needs glasses, and has been driving around for years without actually being able to see clearly
I love how he's listening to a radio show about composting techniques, and how the part he comments on is a compost pile needing, "...plenty of oxygen," which implies that he knows from personal experience that you can have a compost pile in a relatively compact/hidden space which will still get the job done. Yet another great little nod to Dennis' slow series-reveal as a serial killer.
Truly one of the most well crafted scenes in television comedy history. Frank hitting rewind over and over without understanding it and talking to the tape like it’s a telephone, Dennis inexplicably eating cereal in the car, smugly criticizing a radio host while frank drives increasingly haphazardly, and all culminating in one moment of sheer perfection. To cap off they even end on the cheesy royalty free music that encapsulates the attitude of the show as a whole.
It really does work on a lot of levels: It shows Frank and Charlie have a dangerously close degree of codependece It shows Dennis is a serial killer, and a jackass And Mac

I didn’t watch a random episode. I discovered the show through the actress who plays Kelly Kapoor. In her show, the actor who plays Dennis was her boyfriend, and she talked about his show. I checked it out when it was still on Netflix. I became hooked on it that year, the most recent episode that year was the Boggs drinking episode.
"Hello, fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you. Thank you. If you vote me, I’m hot. What? Taxes. They’ll be lower… son. The Democratic vote is the right thing to do, Philadelphia. So do."
when i was in college i had the greatest english professor. he was a HUGE IASIP fan and showed the class this episode in preparation for us writing argumentative essays. that's some good curriculum lemme tell ya
in a recent podcast they revealed this story is actually based on a real experience Glenn howerton had when he was doing exactly as he was in this show.
@@dasolemnvizitah4473 Think about it this way: Dennis (and his cereal) is at rest. Then, his car is violently pushed forward. Since he is accelerating, he and the cereal should go backwards, relatively speaking. A simple example would be placing an object on a piece of paper and then quickly sliding the paper away. What we expect to happen is that the object, relative to the piece of paper, moves backwards. In absolute terms, it moves forwards _slightly,_ but relative to the paper (or in this case, the car), it moves backwards. Imagine you're in a car and the driver brakes hard (which is essentially what happens to Frank). You're thrust forward due to the deceleration. Conversely, if someone steps on the gas and rapidly accelerates (which is what happens to Dennis), you fly back into your seat.
his hand shoots the cereal bowl forward as the car is hit idk if im an idiot but i interpreted this literally lol. ig thats just how the actor shot it but in reality it shoulda been the other. but i figured it was just a jolt, tho the bowl would still...hm, yeah i think i was just hoping they found a way to actually jolt forward the car they shot glenn's plate (?) in
FUN FACT: KPFN is a small radio station in the forests of Mendocino County California. Mendocino is also where Murder She Wrote was filmed for Cabot Cove. It is NOT located in Pepe Sylvia MORE FUN FACT: The street Frank is driving down erratically toward the back of Dennis actually IS the street Paddys Pub is on, it's on the oppposite end where they are. On the right side, out the rear of Dennis's car, you can see it.
A couple of episodes later, we learned that frank hasn’t renewed his license since the 90s. (It was the episode where the gang wants to buy a new range rover after dennis found out they destroyed his car)
me on a first date: i wonder if hes the type of guy that yells at a fucked up radio while not paying attention to the road or the type that eats cereal in his car
True, but for me it's about the build-up. There's suspense, even if we've seen this bit a dozen times. And Frank getting angry at an audio tape is very funny. Plus, a cereal bowl, while driving-- never saw that before.
0:42 When I first saw this episode, as soon as Frank’s car came into view from behind Dennis, I smiled as I knew what was gonna happen. I like a build up like this, especially for comedic effect.
Iasip writers are punk rock, and heres why. They are so good at writing that could easily write the number 1 television show ever in history. Butt what do they do? They waste their talent on writing a show about degenerates and its so good you cant stop watching it

i love how charlie repeatedly describing objects as “fuzzy” on the tape implies that he needs glasses, and has been driving around for years without actually being able to see clearly
Maybe he's not dyslexic ?
No it's because Frank needs glasses and can't see the poles properly, not because Charlie does.
i thought charlie didn't have a license?
No, written signs are fuzzy because he cannot read English, only Gaelic.
In a later episode it's revealed Charlie switches out his glasses for weaker prescription so he has to depend on him.

Dude...magnificent
Oh goodness I never even thought of that
You are a genius

Holy shit never noticed this, perfect.
It was clearly Dee's fault
AtrHoliday obviously
Yaknow what she looks like ..... a goddamn bird
Deflect! Dee's a bird.
That goddamn bitch
Dee you bitch
The way Dennis says "You dumb bitch" is one of my favorite moments of this show.
oh sandra
Yes
One of my fav comedy lines, purely because of the delivery, like in script form, it's nothing special tbh, but Glenn's delivery, jesus christ
I like how Dennis is insulting Sara about composting like he has experience with burying evidence...
TheFreakifier he does burying his victims from his killing’s bro.

the cereal should have spilled the other direction. If someone rear ends you the car moves forwards and you lurch back

Truly.
No TV actor is incredible...
He went to Juilliard
@@hoojiiiii interesting statement I’ve never heard that
@@hoojiiiii what a dumb thing to say. steve carell is incredible. bryan cranston is incredible.
Best thing about this is according the podcast, this actually happened to Glenn which is what inspired the bit.
The cereal spilling over the windshield is inexplicably hilarious. Physical comedy in this show is on point.
I feel like the porcelain bowl would have cracked the windscreen.
Ironically, since the car was pushed forward, it should've gone backward onto Dennis, which may have been funnier
This was the first episode I ever watched. still gold
undertakerpitt same
Mine was that one where Frank feeds Charlie and Dee that weird meat and they think it's human so they resort to being almost cannibals.
Mine was when the gang cracks the liberty bell.. I knew nothing about sunny at the time & I thought that’s how every episodes were going to be so I didn’t watch it again for a couple years. Now I can’t get enough

There's no left, YOU DONT KNOW WHERE I AM TAPE!

"Hello, fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you. Thank you. If you vote me, I’m hot. What? Taxes. They’ll be lower… son. The Democratic vote is the right thing to do, Philadelphia. So do."
I love how Frank’s “directions” are just Charlie taped telling him where to go. I don’t even think Charlie knows how to drive 😂
What happens when you have an illiterate give you directions in a city
I think what would have happened is Charlie offers to do it and just walks the whole way.
when i was in college i had the greatest english professor. he was a HUGE IASIP fan and showed the class this episode in preparation for us writing argumentative essays.
that's some good curriculum lemme tell ya
Dennis was right in this. He had a working system with the cereal with all the fail safes except one.
This show made me wanna try eating cereal while driving.
I’ve eaten cereal while driving hundreds of times.
I've done it a few times but hundreds? Sounds like you need better time management
@@Kingolimar354 wtf are you talking about nerd? he does it because he wants to, not because he's late to his owner's office
@@dewok2706 if he does that out of choice then he is an idiot
@@dewok2706 Exactly, just like how you enjoy smelling your own farts. No one should tell you how or when to enjoy your own farts.
The best part is this scene was written after Glen actually got rear ended while eating cereal going to work
I see that Dennis has visited this video.
Dennis is a free spirit to eat cereal while driving
His face when the cereal was about to spill 😂
in a recent podcast they revealed this story is actually based on a real experience Glenn howerton had when he was doing exactly as he was in this show.
I love how confused Dennis is when Frank drives into him.
Perfect Dennis moment, Disagreeing and insulting a woman on a gardening program, despite the fact he's never once been shown gardening.
One thing that puzzles me: because of inertia, wouldn't we expect the cereal to fly the other way (backwards), and land on Dennis' shirt?
No. Not in this scenario. If Frank was eating cereal, it would've gone in his face though

This is one of my favorite episodes. It absolutely kills me
I had to come back to this scene after listening to the IASIP Podcast and finding out this actually happened to Glenn. It's so fucking funny.
I picture this scene whenever I see somebody eating and driving
A couple of episodes later, we learned that frank hasn’t renewed his license since the 90s. (It was the episode where the gang wants to buy a new range rover after dennis found out they destroyed his car)
The best part about the episode is when he does it again at the very end.
"How do you hit me AGAIN?"
Which season
I like how he acts like he’s really talking to Charlie
It’s makes it so much funnier that this is based of his real life experience
me on a first date: i wonder if hes the type of guy that yells at a fucked up radio while not paying attention to the road or the type that eats cereal in his car
Oh Sandra.
“You don’t know where I am, tape!”
Great how this is a gag to the time Glenn got in an actual car accident and was eating Cereal in the car.
The magic happens around 0:46.
True, but for me it's about the build-up. There's suspense, even if we've seen this bit a dozen times. And Frank getting angry at an audio tape is very funny. Plus, a cereal bowl, while driving-- never saw that before.
gotta agree with eduardo here, the buildup makes it.
The finale
When I saw Dennis eating cereal I thought of Steve from 'Brickleberry' and his driving lasagna.
0:42

My friend FaceTimed me and was eating cereal on his way driving to work 🤣 it reminded me of this scene 🤣🤣🤣 he thinks it’s perfectly normal!
It's so disturbing to see someone eating cereal while driving.
Had a roommate for a while who ate cereal while driving. No lie. Bizarre.
I was expecting joker to be ran over the entire time.
When Charlie said 3fuzzy poles. I was thinking maybe he’s not illiterate maybe he needs glasses
I think it's more that he knows that's what traffic lights look like to Frank!
Rob McElhenney said in an interview that this actually happened to Glenn Howerton IRL and that's how they got the idea for the episode, lol
Dennis got in a car accident in real life? 😟 was it a terrible car accident?
"You don't know where I am, TAPE!"
I think my favorite part is that in the end it’s Dee who has to pay for the damages
Danny trying to get to the podcast the other day.
Dennis might even add her to his collection
I’m glad this all led to the conclusion that science is a liar… sometimes
Making him and everyone else on earth look like a bitch again
I now have a reasonable doubt!
The fact that this is one of the few It's Always Sunny moments that got mainstream memed is disappointing.
In the memes, he's not as pathetic
This is even better now knowing that it’s based on something that actually happened to Glenn
I love franks car
One of my favorite scences of Dennis
Frank designed a system better than google maps
Rob recently said this scene actually happened in reality to Glenn, the golden 5 star man who is playing Dennis.
