Future episode ideas


So, yesterday I saw a topic about "Episodes You Would Want to See Get Made" and I thought about it and came up with a couple and then lo and behold when I went to post them, the OP just deleted the thread! So, time to re-do it. Here are a couple of ideas I have for future episodes. What are yours?

The Gang Races Against the Clock

-After an initial set up scene in Paddy's, the rest of the episode takes place in one of those "Escape Room" real-life adventure games as they try to solve the mystery in the quickest time. The idea to do it is Dennis' because he wants to prove he is the most intelligent and observant of the gang and is confident he will be able to single-handedly figure it out. Dennis is in one room by himself, Charlie and Mac are in one together, and Dee and Frank are together. Charlie and Mac also have something to prove as Dennis implies they are the dumbest of the gang and would definitely do the worst of the three teams. There would be lots of fighting with the teams. It would also be funny if while the time is winding down, or maybe when all of them are collectively having trouble solving it and getting anxious, there is at least one scene with that highly frenetic energy and fast-paced camerawork that we saw when they break into the Juarez house in the "The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover" episode.


Dennis Meets his Doppleganger

-Dennis meets a woman who is just like he is (apathetic, conniving, sociopathic, etc.). Dennis does not see this at first and has an instant fascination and attraction to her. As she hangs out at the bar more and more, it becomes more and more apparent to the gang that Dennis is falling for a female version of himself. But there can be only one Dennis within this group of friends....

reply

Dennis would never actually fall in love with anyone other than himself (and possibly Dee, to some extent)

reply

I agree about love, that is why I avoided using that specific word. But, for him to develop a fascination and interest in someone is maybe not completely out of the realm of possibility with his character though.

I feel like the young seductress in the underage drinking episode was similar to what I am referring to.

reply

That first idea is amazing

I'd like to see an episode where the mcpoyles move into the bar, maybe the gang set fire to their home and will tell the police they know it was the gang unless they get to live in Paddy's

reply

Thank you so much!

I personally want a Cricket-centered episode. I love his character. I would like to see him more in the show, though I am not sure how much more they can do to him before he is dead, lol.

reply

The escape room thing would be funny. I'd add a twist where one or of the rooms isn't an "escape room" at all but a dorm or storage room full of random stuff that they somehow got locked in and erroneously deduced clues from.

They've lampooned game shows, the Jersey Shore (both the show & the place), Extreme Home Makeover, and horror movies with shaky cameras. I'd like to see them do more adventure-type stuff that takes them around Philly while parodying more genres & "reality" shows. They could do a spoof of Hoarders, The Bachelor, American Pickers, and as others have said on this board, Bar Rescue. How about turning Paddy's into a makeshift pawn shop? Imagine the Gang in a Big Brother situation locked in house or the bar with cameras recording them the whole time. Dee would constantly be performing/auditioning. I'd like to see more episodes from one person's perspective or at least such that we don't see everything that one or more characters are doing, such as how Frank got stuck in playground equipment wearing just underwear.

Holy shit, did the gang read this comment and wrote The Gang Escapes?

reply

This was brought up before, but I kinda like the idea of an episode through Ernie's perspective (the white haired patron of the bar) and he just witnesses the gang coming in, up to their crazy antics and conversations. The gang comes and goes with another crazy scheme that we're not real sure of (kinda like in charlie work where charlie walks in and there's chickens everywhere).
Also, full penetration.

reply

I think that guy died.

reply

I think you're thinking of Hawky

reply

No, the guy who played Ernie really died.

reply

Oh, I stand corrected, then. I guess I'm a jabroni...

The Gang starts a Brewery

The gang tries to cash in on adding their own beer to their taps. Charlie comes up with a recipe that tastes awesome and draws a huge crowd to the bar. It turns out that the recipe has rat meat or cat food or some other Charlie ingredient in it, and everyone gets violently sick a few days after drinking it. The bar turns into a mess of people puking up blood and freaking out and they cancel the idea. Charlie hoards the rest of the batch and drinks on his own all the time without any side effects.


The Gang runs a Zoo

The gang starts a small zoo in the alley way of the bar. They get some semi exotic animals and charge people money to see them. They find something dangerous like a mountain lion and it ends up escaping. It mangles Crickets arm and then escapes into the sewers that frank and charlie hang out in.


Cricket gets a makeover

Cricket finds some way to get massive plastic surgery to completely reconstruct himself. The gang feels bad about the way theyve treated him and throw him a party. Cricket emerges fully rejuvenated and Dee falls fully in love with him. Cricket gets burned or massively disfigured in some accident directly caused by the gang. Cricket tells Dee that at least he has her now, but she turns him down because of his new injuries.


The Gang Shines

The Shining themed episode. The gang goes on a trip and end up at a random hotel in the mountains with minimal visitors. They start seeing ghosts and going crazy. Charlie takes an axe to most of the hallways and the walls and destroys a lot of property. The gang then realizes that theyve been drinking twice as much as their realized, due to some random reason. They awkwardly check out of the hotel in front of a lot of the damage they did.


reply

If there is any way for you to contact the show please do and pitch the micro brew episode, I was laughing just reading the idea.

reply

Haha thanks.

I wonder how much the creators or people involved read these boards. It would be a good resource for them to get casual feedback about the show.

reply

Hahaha great ideas. "Charlie ingredients" lol... Spaghetti?

reply

"The Gang runs a Zoo"

The Gang Texts, but your idea sounds so much better.

The Gang Switch Bodies.

A freaky Friday episode with them switching bodies. With the best being Dennis and Charlie switching and Charlie trying to score with the waitress as Dennis.

reply

I doubt they will ever do paranormal or supernatural, BUT I think that would be hilarious!!

reply

Mac and Dee could switch bodies. Mac would love that. Frank could switch with cricket but I don't really see much of a difference..

reply

Charlie goes to hospital.

Charlie is hospitalised for huffing too much paint and the gang go to his apartment to get him clothes/toe knife/whatevz, and they decide to clean his apartment and it turns out Charlie has a like a three bedroom space under all the crap. The gang get jealous and decide Charlie shouldn't have so much space so they put all the crap back.

reply

Id love to see these two episodes
