Dennis and Dee drag everyone down to the Jersey Shore in a feeble attempt to recapture childhood memories.

This Season 7 vacation episode was filled with brilliance.

Dennis protests and reminds all of them that there isn't a single person in the pub with any musical ability whatsoever.

This week marks 10 years since the depraved, deranged exploits of the Paddy's Pub Gang entered into our unsuspecting lives, on August 4th, 2005. What they get in return is a vacant ghost town filled with homeless sex, puke, ripped out hair, and armed robbery.

Only Frank on drums is hopeless, but that's true of 70% of drummers who actually have gigs, so you can't really fault him.

Surprisingly enough, three out of the four potential rockers seem to have some musical ability: Dennis has the De Young vibrato, Charlie "gets" keyboards and fancies himself a Dylanesque poet, and Mac at least knows how to form a power chord.

All these questions are raised by "Retarded Person," but the only one that is definitively answered is that the band name The Pecan Sandies is not rock and roll. But then huffing spray paint is not rock and roll according to Dennis. - Best tangential moment: Charlie's attempt to claim that his "good chair" is streaked with toothpaste, not birdshit.

Befitting its near miss with thematic coherence, the episode ends with an Actual Climactic Scene: Kevin the Maybe Retarded Next Eminem gets up on stage and delivers a rap that, as I believe the kids say, "disses" Dee. I'm telling you, were it not for his poorly staged exit from Electric Dream Machine's abortive set, this episode would have convinced me that Charlie is the most interesting character on the show.
