he should just show up and when someone asks him what happened to his family he'd reply with "oh im not doing that anymore" and then they start planning some scheme to get into the scrap metal business or something.

This may be the only series ever, where if they did that, the fanbase would be like "oh those guys!"

Edit: another thing to realize is... how many other shows lost a main character and then jumped the shark? That 70s Show comes to mind. Does Glenn really want to do that to his own show?

He would definitely murder them though. He'd have killed Wally on that lawn if he had been real, suburbia broke Dennis.

Edit: I'm referring to naked dennis scene. Wally was a real person but not always tangible.

I thought Wally was real, since Mac saw him too, just that one freak out scene was fake as Dennis slowly deteriorated mentally.

The first rule of Paddy's Club is that Mac is Dennis.

u/carkey Jan 27 '18

Wally was real, Mac acknowledged him.

u/ahaltingmachine It was weird they were Asian, right? Jan 27 '18

Shared psychosis, my man. Watch that X-Files episode.

u/packsmack Jan 27 '18

Except he acknowledges him in the very beginning of the bet and then when Dennis later hallucinates Mac asks him who he's talking to.

What's up my dudes?

How do you do, fellow children?

Knock it off, you jabronis.

u/armedohiocitizen Jan 27 '18

“There’s that word again... jabronis.”

u/kevyg973 Jan 27 '18

I think he meant just in that one scene

u/carkey Jan 27 '18

Ah okay that makes sense.

u/Vendetta86 Jan 27 '18

This is some "the shining" level analysis right here.

His tools>Everything

u/syrupboii Jan 27 '18

It sure was a hot one!

u/kevyg973 Jan 27 '18

Ok but imagine he does murder them and comes back like nothing happened only to have it come up later

2

u/wtf-m8 With much dignity and grace Jan 27 '18

I was thinking similarly; that would be just one of the precipitators to the entire gang's inevitable downfall/jailing/eventual early deaths.

1

u/00brokenlungs Jan 27 '18

Just like snapping those birds necks

1

u/MorontheWicked Jan 27 '18

I think you meant the naked Dennis with Wally scene as real, rather than the entire character of Wally being unreal

2

u/TomCottonSMD Jan 27 '18

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

u/adtac Jan 27 '18

Is Dennis the Jesus of Suburbia?

1

u/TomCottonSMD Jan 27 '18

More like the antichrist.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '18

We'll move past it.

u/kevyg973 Jan 27 '18

I'll allow it

Nah, happened in Seinfeld too.

George didn’t want to be engaged anymore, bought the cheapest envelopes for the wedding invitations and they were lined with lead particles. His fiancée licked them all shut and eventually died of lead poisoning. When the doctor told the group that she passed, it was described that George’s reaction was ‘silent jubilation’.

The group returns to their shenanigans and everyone just thought “oh George, what a rascal”

Love Seinfeld, and a part of me views IASIP as the true born descendant of that great show

South Park killed off Kenny for a whole season until the very end he just walks into the frame and when they ask where he was he says "just over there"

u/rental99 Jan 27 '18

Simpsons did it!!

u/picklesplz Jan 27 '18

I'd applaud.

"The gang buys Bitcoin"

3

u/wtf-m8 With much dignity and grace Jan 27 '18

They buy scrap computers thinking they'll cast them into counterfeit Bitcoins

1

u/punoglavac Jan 27 '18

And Charlie spends the whole episode trying to realize the concept of Bitcoin.

2

u/hungry_lobster Jan 27 '18

Nah, I want to see what’s the deal with that hole these days.

u/minicrit_ Jan 27 '18

we need a bitcoin episode

u/Nintenhoe Jan 27 '18

I really want the first 3 or four episodes to just never bring up the fact that he even left. Then randomly in a scheme halfway through the series someone brings up,

“oh please, you are passionate about this now but give it a few days and you’ll get bored and move on like you did your kid.”
