8. CharDee MacDennis The Game Of Games

The show has had plenty of merchandise throughout the years. There have been books, a mobile game, and plenty of accessories, but after this episode, the question arose as to whether we should be able to play a game of CharDee MacDennis. Fun as the episode is, it's probably safer that this one is kept on the screen.

In this chapter of the show, we see what happens when the gang have no schemes to occupy themselves. They turn to CharDee MacDennis, the game of games, a board game that they created. While it seems like a simple idea, as expected with this group, the game's extremes are deafening. The episode has a great sense of the organised chaos that the gang creates. A lack of sensible question answers, excessive amounts of cheating, and as expected tonnes of alcohol, the game becomes less about fun and more about ego.

Seeing everything through Frank's eyes, a first-time participant of the game, the viewers go through all of the hi-jinks that have come to be expected. This episode is excellent because it continues the trend of taking something simple and showing how the gang can barely even manage without taking it too far.
