9. Wolf Cola: A Public Relations Nightmare

Next is a passable episode that suffers from more or less the same issue as the previous one: the really great jokes being just a bit too few and far between.

In this episode, Frank's fraudulent drink company ends up in hot water when their soda, Wolf Cola, becomes the official drink of an African terrorist organization. Him, Dennis and Dee are left to deal with the PR fiasco; all while Mac and Charlie go into business for themselves and begin marketing their sports drink to UFC fighters.

There is the aforementioned issue of the true laugh-out-loud moments being stretched rather thin across its runtime; however, what keeps it so entertaining are the little things. Such as the humorous interactions and quips between Reynolds family or Mac's social ineptitude.

Although, while comedic high points did exist in this episode, there was one glaring low point: the bit where Mac and Charlie film a commercial, which went on for much longer than it should have with humor that falls flat.

All things considered, however, this was a decently funny episode, even despite its shortcomings. Mac and Charlie's adventure was entertaining, if rather weak compared to the episode's main story, but to the writers' credit the two plots converge rather nicely at the end. A good, enjoyable episode, just not exactly a great one.
