This revelation leads the guys on a hilarious journey as they try to piece together the events of their last Halloween party to determine who the father might be.

The episode takes a page out of *Rashomon* as each member of the gang remembers the night in their own unique and distorted way. The comedic genius lies in the continual setups and payoffs, as the group unravels the truth through a game of telephone. From mistaken identities to outrageous character transformations, the absurdity keeps building, leaving us in stitches.

Alongside the comedic hijinks, the mystery itself unfolds with switched costumes, mistaken identities, and appearances from beloved tertiary characters. The show's trademark banter is on point, with memorable lines like Mac's new term "brown out" and the McPoyles' hilarious reactions to The Gang's recollections. Overall, this episode stands as a high water mark for the series, showcasing well-structured and cleverly absurd comedy that adds a unique form to the show's irreverence.

While some viewers found this episode to be a convoluted and enjoyable romp, others expressed concerns about the introduction of Dee's pregnancy into the show. They worry that a baby could disrupt the dynamic of the gang and question whether any of these characters are fit to be parents. However, the majority consensus remains that "Who Got Dee Pregnant?" is a truly great episode, leaving us wanting more of the delightful Artemis and the show's signature brand of comedy.

#2 - Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth (Staffel 6 - Folge 9)

The episode Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth from the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an unexpected and hilarious left turn for the already demented show. In the episode, Dee takes a job as a substitute teacher and motivates her students to take a field trip to see the Gang's take on the Lethal Weapon series: Lethal Weapon 5. Meanwhile, Charlie is trying to mentor a young Juggalo, and Mac, Dennis, and Frank have an extended debate about the appropriateness of blackface. All the storylines come together in one glorious bit of ridiculousness with the Gang's homemade attempt at Lethal Weapon 5.

The episode also touches on the issue of blackface. This has been a controversial topic recently, especially with the 'blackface' ban hammer being applied without considering context. This has raised the question of why a movie like White Chicks is allowed to still be shown, which features white-facing, yet any use of black face is an instant no-no. This can't be a double-standard, and history should not dictate that white face is okay, yet black face is not.

The episode was rated 8,12 from 776 votes.

There's a lot of laughs to be had, especially in the part where Dennis and Dee try to give Frank an *A Christmas Carol* experience and Mac and Charlie's realization about their childhood Christmases. However, some of the vulgarity and raunchiness may be off-putting to some viewers. Ultimately, it’s a merry and hilarious comedy that is sure to bring a smile to viewers’ faces.

The episode was rated 8,27 from 777 votes.
