Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This Doctor Reacts video is me, as a psychiatrist, analyzing another episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I'm watching Dennis Reynolds: Making a Murderer (season 12 episode 5) and asking the question of whether Dennis could really be a psychopath? is he charming? Is his narcissistic? As well as other topics like syphilis and the brain, LGBTQ+ mental health, homophobia and more.
Let me know what you think!

"They were never in any danger. It's the *implication*." Lol love this show. Thanks for covering it!
Protip: if you want the end of a sentence to be bold, you need to place the second asterisk after the period.
The dialogue of the cop explaining the two hour cracks me up to tears every time. His delivery is him just trying to process what he's looking at.
Glenn Howerton confirmed that Dennis isn't a born sociopath and that he DOES feel emotions; but he suppresses them because he can't handle them, making him act emotionless and cold but have outbursts over seemingly random things.
Yes I remember hearing about this on the podcast. But doesn't that mean hes still a little weird? lol
Remember when he asked Mack if he remembers emotions?
@@BabyGirlTiny Yeah, because he's repressed them for so long.
So narcissistic 😭
The most disturbing part of this video is Elliott wearing a sweater AND a shawl in June, during a heatwave.
It was a stupid choice but I'd do it again
I'm sitting here in Arizona, USA trying to figure out if England is actually cold in June. LOL
Keep someone like that away from any crows 😂
Never let something as frivolous as the weather get in the way of fashion.
whats a shawl...thats a scarf. An i know a turtle neck when i see one. Who you tryin ta fool with your fancy words? You french er somthin? You one of them librals?
Quick! What'd you have for breakfast? ...so help me..if you say something like a crepe or a food with one of those weird squiglies over letter...
There are episodes where Dennis does display having feelings. He seems to go from either being very emotional, to having no emotions at all. He also seems to fluctuate between distancing himself from the rest of the gang/despising them to being very needy and co-dependent with them. I think the biggest factor in his current state and his hyper-sexuality is when he was raped as a 14 year old by his school librarian.
"People don't want to see that, because it's hard evidence!" That hurts me to the core 😅
I agree that they didn't spend enough time talking about the victims during Dahmer. My best friend is related to one of his victims, and the only time they mentioned him in the show was them referencing him by his ethnicity. They couldn't even say his name...
I felt like it's about the story you want to tell. I remember seeing a docuseries that was entirely about Bundy's victims. A story can't do all things. I suggest someone write one focused on Dahmer's victims. Judging from the commentary I've seen, there's an interest for it.
I mean, can you blame them? It's literally called Dahmer, not Victim #4. People aren't watching documentaries about the victims, they're seeking out the perpetrators of evil. You only have yourself to blame for supporting these shows.
the replies to this are disgusting. i hope your friend is doing well nowadays.
The scene with Charlie is actually inspired (or I expect it's inspired) by Brendan Dassey from the Netflix Making a Murderer, where the police interrogators used similar leading tactics to illicit a confession. He was clearly mentally stunted and highly suggestible. I won't speak on whether Steven Avery was guilty (I have my suspicions) but it blows my mind that Brendan was not at least deemed unfit to stand trial, regardless of his guilt or innocence.
Yeah..
The thing to remember in this episode is that it's also a very _specific_ portrayal of Dennis as filtered by Mac and Charlie to fit the true crime narrative. He's quite different in other episodes and often expresses very strong emotions and mood swings! Anyone who's watched Sunny more than in passing can tell that he's not a psychopath.
This was great!! I have a passion for pharmacology and it’s really disheartening how many medical professionals lack technical knowledge about the pharmacodynamics of the drugs they deal with on a day-to-day basis. Really refreshing to see someone who knows their stuff and doesn’t have purely cursory knowledge because they took a pre-req course several decades ago.
Loving the Always Sunny episodes, especially. Again, great work and very entertaining!
I wonder if theres something connecting Dennis' cruelty towards crows at an early age to calling Dee a bird
Just wanna say as someone with BPD, I love how you see us and always make a point to educate people on what it means, even in little snippets. ❤
What is BDP?
Thank youuu so much for this video! Sunny is my favorite show, dennis is my favorite character and i’m majoring in psychology so i obviously love this stuff. So many good points made here. Every sunny video that you make is a blessing🫂
Charlie is basically playing the Brendan Dassey role from "Making a Murderer"
So many people who have reacted to this never get that reference lol
@@Rob_CaryI wasn't sure if he didn't get it or thought it was too obvious to say. LOL
Sunny one of my favorite shows even years later. The gang is so crazy but the character developement is amazing
I always love watching your videos analysing tv shows, especially the always Sunny ones, they always make my day a little better haha! If you’re ever taking suggestions I think it would be cool to see you analyse ‘flowers’. It’s an all 4 show all about depression and family dynamics and stuff. It stars Jullian Barratt and Olivia Coleman and I’d really love to see your opinion on all the characters :)
This show and guys involved are brilliant. They are very smart about playing dumb. Their social commentary is just always spot on. It's like they ride up to the border of satire without going full blown satire. Satire is just an ingredient in their stew. And what a fine stew they have made.
Hearing you say "stop leading with questions, you will look like a muppet" made me giggle
I think we need to face the fact that people that do horrible stuff can be c harming, or even nice at times, it helps us keep ourselves in check from my perspective not viewing others as "monsters that' are so different from me", but rather as "human beings like me"
Have you analyzed the episode on the DENNIS system yet? I'd love to hear your input on it!
The whole transition to a cat gag is hilarious 😂😂😂
It is haha. At the end of the day, Dennis did not k1ll Maureen. If he flashed a laser pointer on the roof of the bar and she jumped, that is a suicide. She is not a cat lol. Dennis is alot of things but he'd never actually k1ll anybody. He doesn't have the vitrivian spine.
@@Rob_CaryIt's Abatement of suicide
Omg the vindication I feel when you say he doesnt have BPD because there are a lot of fans who insist on it 😂
Great vid
If I take ketamine due to something going on in my life. That thing going on is normally drum and bass
whaaaat dennis no feelings?? have u seen ptsdee? "of course i have feelings!! I have big feelings!!!"
I have feelings every day of my life 😂😂😂
You're quoting The Gang Tends Bar. But yes, PTSDee, Charlie's Mom Has Cancer and Family Fight all display Dennis' deep insecurity and big feelings!
If you want more True Crime Mockumentaries , you should really take a look at American Vandal . It's super fun and really goes into subjects like peer pressure , bullying, and other stuff all through the eyes of teens as the guiding narrative force. Love your stuff, by the way .
Guess the unofficial record for not blinking is 1 hour, 5 minutes and 11 seconds
I think its pretty homophobic if they dont punish that guy for killing 3 other gay people because someone called him a bad name
Good stuff, Dennis is legit one of the best comedy characters ever and Glenn’s performance is as good as it gets, its criminal this man doesn’t have like 10 Emmy’s because he’s pretty consistently better than the people who win every year.
I love the Implication in this episode.... 😂😂😂😂
Holy I just rewatched all of your IASIP reactions two days ago and wished you’d done this one.
think the statement from mac and charlie at the end is trying to take shots at the making a murderer netflix series which is 10 hours of filler
Humans love solving puzzles even if they don't realize it's a puzzle. Anything that's missing or broken or without, we have a desire to fix or complete it. It's how our minds evolved and how we became the dominant species. It's no wonder we like true crime .. or hoarding shows, or any of those bizarre lifestyle shows; we are fascinated by utterly broken people and how they came to be.
Love Sunny reactions. I recommend s6e6 Mac's Mom Burns Her House Down, there are some interesting mental health topics to discuss in that episode.
They are called a murder of crows.
10:44 "Notice me. You will recognize what everybody else should be seeing."
So what you're saying is that a narcissist might say something like... "Acknowledge me."
☝🏽
thanks dr elliot you helped me alot :D
This episode is one the funniest but then there are so many great episodes its hard to pick one as the best.
Please do the episode abou the D.E.N.N.I.S system.
I got a mouse in the house situation. My cat being usless as always I got to catch it my self. It was runing from door frame side to side so it was easy to predict. I got a rag and cought it lightly just to realease it outside but it wiggled out and started runing away. I grasped it a bit more firmly and it crunched. I'm not easly squimishd but it made me go :O. It was litteraly at 3/4 strenght of grip when you handshake somone. That crunching crow story gave me PTSD.
TL:DR watch out mouses are more crunchy than you think.
Dennis isn't a narcissist.
HE'S A 5 STAR MAN!
A GOLDEN GOD
Great job as always, doc
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this!
Oh shit, more sunny. It's been a minute!
I dunno, I’ve always had this strange ability to not-blink for extended periods of time (I also just naturally blink much less frequently than other people). The longest I’ve gone is an hour and a half, which is of course a bit less than 2 hours, but I could’ve gone quite a bit longer - my goal at the time was 90 minutes, and so I just stopped once I’d reached it.
I'd love for you to analyse real crime docs. Like HBO's Flordelis, a family crime.
Whenever he explains things I feel like charlie.
Love this! And I appreciate you pointing out the harmful rhetoric that is used against the trans community- same as it used to be used against the gay community. Same as it ever was!
Lol what rhetoric? Would you say someone is spouting 'harmful rhetoric", if they want to get a skitzo help?
@@rikubrown8109 that lmao what you just said. Implying trans people are all mentally ill, thats literally the EXACT rhetoric lmao at least one example. He talks about it in this video g
@@FromThe36thChamber that is because they are. Men/women pretending to be the opposite, can't try to say they are not.
@@rikubrown8109It’s way more complicated than that, you obviously are just ignorant or just don’t care.
Amazing video ane amazing breakdown, as always!
Hey, I think I might be a psychopath. Every time I've ever brought it up to a therapist, they say that, "a psychopath wouldn't worry about being a psychopath," and then they talk about that triad you mentioned, but it always struck me as sophistry. That's my question. Is that true? Would a psychopath worry about being a psychopath? I'm extremely skeptical of American medicine, and I generally thought my therapists saw the human mind as they wished to (i.e. characteristic American optimism and individualism) and didn't account for their own cultural biases. And so I think they are largely unable to really help people, because they don't accurately assess peoples' needs. And even well-intentioned people can be biased by a culture of profit, especially when it becomes a part of their training. So I have trouble getting help here.
Does it upset you to think you could be a psychopath or do you just like want to know? I don’t think psychopaths would be hurt by the idea they might be one
I'm curious, have you watched Frasier (the sitcom)?
Bits of it. I should do a video on it soon.
3:00
Wait, how did those gays on grinder die? Was the guy stabbed 20 times? I can understand police ignoring drug overdoses because that happens all the time and nobody really cares, but I can't imagine them ignoring a guy getting stabbed/shot/beheaded.
these are my favorite i adore you to bits
Dogs are typically the recipients of ace for hospital-related anxiety. I've never ever given a cat ace :) It's not as useful and there are too many side effects.
Can you do The Venture Bros. Season 4 Episode 6?
I used to always joke how I grew up wetting the bed, I was a pyro and I killed my fair share of animals ( frogs, squirrels, rodents, never anyone's pets) and I'm a minister instead of a serial...lol
Do you seriously think you should brag about being a minister? You lie to people, often vulnerable people, for money.
I had a series of ketamine infusions to treat my PTSD. It absolutely helped.
I just realized Dr Elliott looks like Lucifer Morningstar! Cooool!
Yeah if he was from good omens
I'll put in the work to look at your catalog after I post this, in the case that I csn answer my own question. However, I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the subject of Mackamey Manor, and the scandals around it. There is much research one can do, but I'll just leave you with my belief, that the man (Russ Mackamey) is a psychopath. I would be highly interested in seeing you assess various details about him and his narcissistic(?), manipulating(?), scamming(?) tactics upon his prey(?).
Always Sunny is without contest
YAY ANOTHER SUNNY VID
MOARRR SUNNY!
Why stick with "*phobic"? There was a time where a lot of mistreatment came from a fear of unknown or discomfort, but I think we're at a place now where it doesn't come from fear. Seems like "anti*" is more accurate.
Homophobic is the most common and easily understandable way to describe anti gay sentiment. Changing it would pose no utility. Plus it’s hard to get people to use a different term when the old term is so common in use. Anti gay is more accurate but less convenient and is less flexible as a term.
@@ringer1324 Gotcha. Makes sense, but it really kicks my low-grade nomenclature induced OCD into high gear. LOL
Yea this drives me nuts also. If you say anything about someone who's gay your homophobic. Even if it has nothing to do with that and your not afraid of anyone. It's really ridiculous. Plus I'm surprised that word is even allowed beacuse the first half of that word is a slur.
@@SledgeTanner45homo isn't a slur
@@leonrussell9607 I'm pretty sure if you call a gay person a homo it's not very nice and 99% of people would be offended
I'll take malaria treatment over the mercury syringe 😂
You think "The Golden God" is narcissistic? Where on earth did you get that idea 😂
To address your other point, i think the bigger issue is glorifying those killers while their victims are largely forgotten. Trying to build sympathy for people will do those awful acts it's something we see a lot in true crime. But, I prefer the stories of those who survived such awfulness, like Lisa McVey, cause it's her we should remember and glorify rather than who abductors and would be killer.
You know what you should DEFINITELY react to the Elizabeth Smart case and her kidnappers. Id LOVE to see your take on the creep who abducted her and her in some religious cult type brainwashing. Smart is such a strong brave now woman I admire her but curious on your take of her abductor
It’s nice to see a mental health professional talk about the bias in mental health treatment. I believe my bisexuality was a key factor in being diagnosed with bpd. I saw a very old school psychiatrist because I was experiencing paranoid thoughts and once he saw I was bisexual he started making a lot of assumptions. Assuming I was “promiscuous”, sleeping with my best friend and that my paranoid thoughts came from excessive porn consumption which wasn’t the case for me. He diagnosed me with bpd after 15 minutes of knowing me. Now, I’m waiting for an autism assessment because that seems to fit more than bpd. I’ve had a lot of negative experiences with mental health professionals and watching you’re videos has been very healing
I really love how you always break down things using psychology but also basic logic, especially in comedy. But also when your dealing with homophobic and prejudice ideals even though it's hard I'm sure. I'm heterosexual but i Iearn a lot from u how societal "norms" turn into societal narcissism, and how people will do ruthless things to preserve "norms" when really there hiding there own insecurities. I love the mixture of comedy, compassion and logic.
I wouldn't put much stock into what he says. There are people literally marching naked in the streets and waving their genitals in front of children simply because it's a pride parade, but he'd call you homophobic for pointing that out. Anyone that defends that degeneracy is disgusting.
So a woman in this show says she's a cat, and the guy's reply to that segment is that he supports queer culture and opposes transphobia?
I heard that someone robbed a bank so my reply is that it's healthy to drink water.
Have you ever seen psychonauts?
Narcissism, last trait you want in a leader. Vote blue! 😄💙
Doc you doing ok? Forehead was looking a little red, like a outbreak of something
"The world in 2023 is incredibly transphobic."
...As the Pirde flag flys above the whitehouse.
We aren't transphobic enough
Lmao yes because just putting a flag somewhere solves all problems
@@rafaela00002 when will it ever be enough for you
That’s called virtue signaling. That doesn’t mean everything is ok.
This guys lips are severely irritated and his forehead is rashed. Which leads me to believe excessive crack use has burned his lips and the resulting 'high' and mania caused him to obsessively scratch his forehead until it bled. 🧐🤔
thank you so much for making another sunny video, and for speaking up on trans rights!
Lol need to speak up on their delusions
I keep meaning to watch this show. Having that scene mirror what happened to Brendan Dassey in real life would definitely make me too angry to be funny, though.
If that makes you angry, this show isn't for you
@@tomz5704 Brendan Dassey's false conviction doesn't make you angry?
@@mandipandi303 a satire on an unjust conviction doesn't make me angry
@Tom z Oh! I hate not being able to judge tone in text. My bad. I'm bad at it in real life and even worse online.
Wait…. You use the arguments people had in the 80s to prove your point?
Those arguments were correct.
That “slippery slope” is here.
Lol right. Like he must be purposely ignoring it.
Not at all.
@@VictorNieves-o3o yes very much
@@rikubrown8109 Not at all.
@@VictorNieves-o3o yeah, sorry you're blind to it
I was thinking this would be a good video until your politics got involved and you started playing victim.
2:20 For real, but I don't believe the intention of the writing was transphobic, even though it came off that way. I know Glenn (Dennis) in particular is certainly pro-trans. :) The only thing now is, in the current climate, they're having to be quite blatantly satirical. (Not sure how caught up on the new seasons you are.)
I'm straight and I'm right wing that doesn't make me a homophobe or transphobe
I'm not even right wing but yeah what he said there definitely rubbed me the wrong way
He didn’t saw all right straight people were those things.
Was NOT expecting a lecture on trans rights , stick a warning on that shit , its depressing and I want to be happy sometimes
Well, this is embarrassing.
People identify as all kinds of silly shit.
And it is indeed stupid.
3:17
Whow whow whow, hold your onto your scarf....are you...tellin me..
that gays dont take drugs, hook-up or even die?
Better then most straight people i know, myself included, cuz love drugs, hooking up is fun too and i im not sure just yet...but im almost sure that illend up dying.
Maybe i should switch to dk? Get some of that clean livin immortality.
I dont think a lot of people are transphobic, I think people are tired of the same message being stuffed down their throats continuously through media. Its nothing against them but the people who are bad at relaying the message I guess which is often ham fisted into our lives.
I love how you portray Maureen identifying as a cat to be some right wing strawman as though this isn't literally happening. You can find videos across social media confirming this.
Also, on your channel you might support queer views, but in reality we support truth and getting people help. We don't support telling people that their delusions are correct and that their flawed perception of reality is real. The furniture doesn't talk to schizophrenics, a person with bulimia throwing up isn't justified, and men cannot be women. All of these mental illnesses are the result of people seeing reality different than what it is, and the solution is to reject what they think they see and force them to see what really is.
Or when tge buy a yacht aks crappy boat
Transwomen are men.
better yet, they are their own category. i'm gay but i think some queer people take things too far when they want to eliminate the difference between transwomen and women which means they aren't allowed to penis-free safe spaces or it's cool if a man who is ranked like 20th in a sport can transition and suddenly break records for first place leaving women in the dust who've trained for that their whole life. transwomen are transwomen. and sex-wise biological males. i don't see how that isn't a fair compromise
@@russianpaul77 "transwomen are transwomen. and sex-wise biological males. i don't see how that isn't a fair compromise"
We can obviously not compromise about the meaning of words. If you personally prioritize conflict avoidance over truth, then go ahead. But it obviously doesn't work societally to change the meaning of words because we don't want to upset someone.
2:30 mins in and we have to hear about transphobia. Sick of it. Do not recommend video or channel
Good god, this guy really went off on an alphabet tangent out of nowhere. They were talking about Maureen trying to turn herself into a cat. Nobody was talking about alphabet people. Nobody was attacking your lifestyle, dude. Nobody was talking about gay marriage or trans people. Glad you got some emotional baggage off your chest, now take it down a notch. It's just a comedy show.
It's nice and refreshing to see a mainstream channel openly celebrate queer culture. It's surprisingly less common than it should be. It made me really happy to hear that, thank you.
Fun fact: Vincent Van Gough's brother, who I got my own name from as a trans man, was stated to have died from paralysis of the insane due to late-stage syphilus only a few months after Vincent passed away.
What a joke..knkwone who cares about what adults do its what's been pushed on kids .. I'd hope someone with education might understand that .
Yea but that is all made up though. That's why he didn't give it any time in his video.

My bad just got to that part I’m stupid
Turned it off for the gay shit
Flaming hot take: we could stand to humanize people who have done bad things a little more. Particular in America.
ehhh disagree, there's actually WAY too much criminal sympathy in the US currently, many DAs in big cities are letting felony repeat offenders out onto the street over and over creating more victims each time. It's like an epidemic rn and it always leads to some of the worst crimes and bodycam footage you'll see (ik because i'm constantly seeing it for my job). People think this way only because they've never been a victim of these crimes firsthand or have never seen it firsthand, if you see enough victims, you'd probably change your mind.
Always easy to say as long as you're not one of the victims.
That’s a stupidly broad statement
@@thekamotodragonThe faults of the American criminal Justice system aren’t a sign of how we as a society should view humanity and redemption. Really cherry-picking the sentiment.
This finook doc is talking too much. Just play the episode doc a give minimal commentary. No editorializing doc.
Watch the episode then. This video is a commentary/breakdown not piracy.
