i felt they were goofing on the product placement...making it extra cheesy to make it funny. I thought it was funny at least. 10/2/2009 3:01:52 PM |

"And the last thing I do every morning is to make sure I turn on the Coors Light sign."
"That sign doesn't say Coors Light, it says Bar Closed."
I thought this part was hilarious. 10/2/2009 5:36:01 PM |

I thought this episode was pretty funny, but not the best.

i didn't think it was much different then when charlie was talking about extreme home makeover and sears. they were kinda poking fun at the product placement aspect of it i think, while doing product placement at the same time. 10/3/2009 8:51:56 AM |

They spent the whole episode driving how low class and "old Poor" they were. Do you think "the best steak in an arcade environment" is a ringing endorsement? Its backhanded at best 10/3/2009 11:11:05 AM |

My buddies and I tried pretty hard to hit up D&B's while we were in Philly but we could never find it.
So when I saw the spot I thought it was effing hilarious. 10/3/2009 1:08:52 PM |

the coors endorsement was pretty ringing
but i dont really care, as long as it is funny. i would watch a commercial if it was funny. people stayed away from the Caveman show not b/c it was a commercial in long format, but b/c it wasnt funny. 10/3/2009 1:24:52 PM |

As long as it's not a recurring theme, which I would guess it won't be, the placements don't bother me. They played some good jokes off of D&B, and I'm pretty sure they've always been pimping Coors if you watch in detail; they just haven't done it to that extent.
All said, it was an average episode.
Frank trying to hang himself was hilarious though. 10/3/2009 1:36:19 PM |

I really didn't think it was selling out too much. If anything they kept bringing up how you have to buy those D&B cards and then you can't spend em anywhere else. 10/3/2009 7:49:45 PM |

I thought the whole D&B scene was overkill. I've seen seasons 1-3 and all of 5 so far and the product placement seemed out of the norm to me. I love the stupid conversations they always have, but when you go on a 5 minute rant about Dave & Busters and then move straight to Coors and follow it all up with back to back D&B and Coors commercials it's a bit much.

the coors one didn't bother me either because it was totally in character for charlie not to be able to read and coors is the only believable beer that they'd have a sign for that he could mistake it for. the only one i can think of, anyway.
the product placement there led directly to a funny moment on the show, so it doesn't bother me a bit. i only find product placement annoying when it's completely unrelated to what's going on in the show and it's just thrust in your face. how many shows can you think of where a scene starts out with a zoomed in shot of the apple logo on the back of a macbook and then pans up to the people in the scene? 10/5/2009 1:27:59 AM |

Glenn Howerton confirmed what I thought about last week on his twitter account(read from the bottom up):
Tonite's ep. is 1 of my favs we've ever done. EVER. It won't dissappoint. Love to all my #sunnyfx fans. Sorry for the confusion last week. about 2 hours ago from Echofon
If u watch the ep. w no commercials on DVD or iTunes or whatever u will like it a lot more. I promise. We learned our lesson on that one. about 2 hours ago from Echofon
Although I will say FX was NOT supposed 2 accompany the ep. w all those fucking D&B's and Coors commercials. That's what fucks it up. about 2 hours ago from Echofon
Just got back from vacay. Lotta love n quite a bit of hate on last week's recession ep. Sounds like 50% got the joke and 50% did not about 2 hours ago from Echofon 10/8/2009 4:12:21 PM |

I sort of figured the obvious product placement was supposed to go along with the "recession" theme of the episode. As in, they're so hard up for cash, they're shamelessly plugging Coors in the middle of the show.
Also, the whole thing about the fake money was hilarious. Totally relevant, too.

Yeah I got the product placement/recession joke. I didn't think it was that great of a gag though in itself.
What's with the hyper-eccentricity. I liked it when the gang's problems escalated. Now it seems they go full blown crazy from the first second of the episode.
p.s. the best Sunny episode is on right now
