Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Tacky network laugh-track sitcoms, which really only seem to exist on CBS these days, are always ripe for a take down. It's even more fun when the satire's being slung by a show as subversive as Always Sunny. There wasn't any messaging here however, in "Old Lady House: A Situation Comedy," that wasn't done better back in Season 9's "The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award."
There were funny parts, naturally, but the Gang's already tackled the lame formulaic sitcom scenario. The last time around it was more satisfying, in fact, because no one was specifically talking about TV. It was all about Paddy's being outshined by a hip, trendy bar where the locals were caught up in the chemistry between the serving staff. Here, Dennis pointedly added studio audience laughter to footage and then everyone took turns marveling at how the sound let them know that A: what they were watching was funny, and B: the sound of laughter was their cue to laugh. So, no, this wasn't a subtle skewering.
