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....

Yeah man, I know the OP deleted it, I just went looking for my long post to read out as test audio for a video voice over, then I couldn't find it and now reading this it must be gone. Bummer. I wrote a killer long one and included season long gags they could have done. Maybe the OP was writing staff and loved the idea so much they used it! If so, even if I do say so myself, I wrote it as the characters, for their strengths in humor and it'd be hilarious seeing it come to life. I wouldn't even be mad they deleted the thread, just happy someone was so impressed by a passing idea that they used it. Maybe you remember some of it?

I could pretty much write a lot of it from memory, though some things would likely change. Basically it was a promotional valentines day episode where frank and charlie are in a plane and instead of it writing "paddy's pub loves you" the argument they're having in the background makes the pilot write "paddy's pub, *beep* you" and it would be done in like a comical way with music and fast paced cartoon vibe speed. Oh man I'm so disappointed that post is gone forever, I read it once before like a few months after writing it and had a good laugh. I had a season long gag with D and a serial killer obsessed with big bird, Mac making gay pun after gay pun without knowing what he was doing, but loving it, and then Dennis, the way I opened the second episode with Dennis and the theme music after hearing early bird music wake up thing and him being all paralyzed and unable to turn the alarm clock off while having somehow realized he'd slept with a man.

Maybe I saved it in a random text document somewhere. It was Always Sunny Gold, even if I do say so myself :p

well you were pretty spot on about the escape room idea. Funny that other ideas mentioned on this thread happened some way or another.
