@tesbreag you really think this is the worst episode and that frank's brother, the gang cracks the liberty bell, and the cricket ep from last season aren't also awful?
@haljordan I've in the middle of a rewatch of the entire 15 seasons. I've rewatched all the episodes you mentioned and enjoyed them all, then remembered the question in your comment when I got to this abomination.
I can confirm that even on a full rewatch and without any recency bias, this is the single worst episode of IASIP in 12 seasons so far (although some of the s15 episodes set in Ireland come very close).

IASIP has been pretty remarkable in that so many seasons have passed without any truly awful episodes. At last it loses that distinction, with this hideous nonsense. It was an episode with nothing to say, and made no effort to be anything other than the broadest of broad (no pun intended) with zero subtext, wit or humour.
I think this possibly marks the point where a world without any more Sunny would be preferable to one where this sort of crap can sully the reputation of a once great show.
