Unique episode in an already unique series

One of my favorites, This episode breaks up the standard format of the gang having their way with the outside world, which eventually results in dyer consequences for those who are unlucky enough to be caught in their wake. This episode sets a different scene, with one of the best sets of recurring characters, "The McPoyles." The base of the plot (as stated above) is that the gang will finally get what's coming to them. That prospect alone makes this episode stand out.

Additionally, I LOVE the McPoyles. They seemed to have cornered the market on a brand of creepy, that you just can't wrap your mind around, to simply categorize them as a certain type. Mcpoyles are definitely the first to do a lot of disturbingly funny things that I have never seen portrayed by ANY other character on television. EVER

I think the side plot with frank was only necessary to keep him out of the main plot on this one.

I loved it!

I laughed at Charlie's scream when he sees the rubber guns

Warning: Spoilers
The gang got hold hostage by the McPoyles while Frank is looking for his will in the attic. Charlie is definitely the star of this Die Hard inspired episode.
