The Top 5 List Thread

[CiG]

I'm a Frank kinda guy.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I figured.

 

[CiG]

RoboCop is near the top of my watchlist.

I think you'll really enjoy it. In many ways it really is a quintessential 80's film.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I didn’t see Robocop until relatively recently. Fucking awesome movie.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

How have some of you not seen Robocop? One of the most popular movie franchises of the late 80's/early 90's. I still have my recorded VHS copies of the first three

 

[CiG]

I haven't seen any of the sequels but I have the box set of the pretty corny ass TV series lmao.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

damn, i didn't even know they had a Robocop TV series.

 

[CiG]

It's pure popcorn fodder.

[Vegard Pompey]

It's possible I included so many recent episodes because I have a stronger memory of the later seasons. There are some episodes from the early seasons I should watch again.

"Frank Sets Sweet Dee on Fire" is one of my favorites from the earlier seasons.

 

[CiG]

For me season 10 is when the steep decline in quality comes in, though I still enjoyed the season. I remember almost nothing about season 11 though and haven't seen any of the episodes after season 11 at all.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I'm curious why you think there was ever a steep decline in quality, the popular opinion seems to be that the series has stayed consistent throughout or even improved. I think you should watch season 12 at least, it's unequivocally the best of the newer seasons, just classic episode after classic episode.

I'm 7 episodes into season 13 and so far it's wildly inconsistent, basically a 50/50 split between "the best episodes of Always Sunny I've ever seen" and "the worst episodes of Always Sunny I've ever seen".

 

[CiG]

Popular opinion says many things, I'd take it with a grain of salt in pretty much any context.

I don't really know how to put my finger on what it is that changed with the show, but I'm pretty sure I didn't laugh out loud once during season 11. When it comes to comedy I just go with my instincts instead of trying to really dissect it, I'm sure if I sat down and thought about it and compared the seasons I could figure out what it is.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

You're telling me you didn't laugh once during the Chardee MacDennis 2 episode?!

[no country for old wainds]

i've only seen five so i won't bother with a list, but yeah, super consistent so far.

 

[CiG]

You're telling me you didn't laugh once during the Chardee MacDennis 2 episode?!

Not really, the original Chardee MacDennis is hilarious, though I did smile at Frank's flag reveal.
