I was crying laughing at this part. This episode is comedy gold. All the different plots are hilarious.

Great episode, which is making for a great new season!

This episode is classic sunny, it has the gang doing their own schemes, and the gang just being outright horrible. The ending is perfect, and the music has never been better(except for the last episode). Hopefully, this episode represents what the rest of the season will be like, cause last season wasn't so hot. Also, it may be extremely dark for some users that a kid straight up drowns and dies in front of the gang, and franks back is all bloody, which makes the pool also bloody. Also its 18 minutes long, with a lot of commercials, so it's probably one of the shortest episodes of the sunny series. As a recap of the episode, frank and charlie ride every ride except one because frank gets hurt on it, Dennis goes around stealing with a little girl named Abby, Mac and Dee get stuck in a kiddies water slide with a bunch of other kids, and at the end Mac smiles at the camera, it is the perfect way to end it, because for some reason its is so funny, so have a good time watching it, its really good.
Season 12 starting strong

Charlie and Frank's plot: Probably the weakest plot wise, but still incredibly funny. The aids thing is funny but (like every plot in this episode) the ending is the best part.
Dee and Mac's plot: Classic Dee and Mac get hurt plot, but again, really funny. As someone who has always been really scared of pool drains, the ending really subverted my expectations.
Dennis' plot: By far the best. I loved every second of him and the girl's chemistry, but the ending, where Dennis finally gets emotionally attached to someone and beaten at his own game. One of the best moments of the show.

The real season premiere

This is Philadelphia, the real Sunny, back to doing its best.
The previous episode was out of character, almost like it was from another show.
This one is classic Sunny. What do I mean by that? It starts with a ridiculous premise, the gang going to a water park intended for children. Then the gang splits up into 3 groups (sometimes they split into two groups, sometimes three), and we follow their ridiculous threads.
Charlie and Frank want to hit every ride, so they pretend that Frank has AIDS and that Charlie is his doctor to cut the line. I thought we'd see the return of Doctor Mantis Toboggan, but Frank was the patient this time, while Charlie was the doc.
Mac and Dee get stuck in a ride intended for children. That is my least favorite part of the episode. The getting stuck thing is repetitive (see Frank getting stuck in his underwear in a children's ride when they need advice on pyramid schemes from him). This time, they're stuck again in a tube, and there's toiler humor, which I'm not a huge fan of. It's just okay.
Dennis uses a fake daughter to pull off (and teach) some conman artistry, expanding on the conman side of his personality (the DENNIS system, the welfare scam, the Brian LeFevre impersonation - he's a conman/scam artist.)
At the end, in true Seinfeldian/Larry David/Sunny-Philadelphia fashion, all the threads combine to create something truly hilarious.
There are many jokes throughout, intelligent use of editing (Dennis and fake daughter scam montage; fake daughter's Kaiser Söze'esque flashback) and music, ending in an epic fashion, with everyone running, screaming and Dvorak's New World Symphony playing.
Majestic, simply majestic.

One of the Funniest Episodes Yet

This is probably the most I've laughed at an Always Sunny episode, and with that amazing ending, how could I not?
Season 11 so far was probably the worst season for me despite having a couple of great episodes, and it was mostly meh. But this season has been banger after banger so far (well, at least the first 20% of it), and it continues to deliver more gems like these first two.
The setups and payoffs in this episode are really great and make up for a hilarious ending that me laughing even through the credits till my sides hurt.
Just everything in this episode is funny and the pacing is so good I think it's one of the top most rewatchable episodes of the show and one of the best shows in general.
Some episodes have great openings or really funny title card drops like "Mac Kills His Dad", but I don't think I've ever thought an ending to an episode was this funny. This has been the funniest ending to an episode of the show for me personally, at least to my recollection, and I can't wait to rewatch it whenever I need a good laugh.

I watched this episode so many times and laughed so hard at it every time. Every part of it was well-written and funny.
The best part was Mac and Dee's plot, which I was crying with laughter during it. They are my favorite duo; when they're on to something together is funny and cute at the same time. They have a childish common interest in things.
The Dennis part was genius; he is always sure that he is smarter than everybody but finally met his match here.
Charlie and Frank's part, and especially the last slide that Frank went down, was absolutely funny.
And of course Mac's face at the end was priceless!
