Recap [ ]

10:30 AM on a Mon

Mac and Dennis complain to Charlie nigh his use of a generator to power Paddy's Pub. He says electricity was expensive so he was using the generator to save money. They point out the flaw in his logic - gas is more expensive. Mac so decides, as the brains of the group, that they are going to solve the gas crisis. They also agree that Dennis is the looks and Charlie is the wildcard.

Dennis draws a chart with pictures of large-breasted women while Mac explains to Charlie their strategy: enquire a banking concern for a loan, buy a bunch of gasoline, store information technology in Paddy'due south basement, and sell it a year later at a higher price. At the banking company, this strategy doesn't pan out so Dennis tries to seduce the broker. Charlie jumps in (doing his office as the wild card), also trying to seduce her. All three men take their shirts off and ask the banker which 1 she would similar to have sex with.

At a gas station, Mac pumps gasoline into a plastic trashcan, and states that Dee is stupid for keeping her savings in her sock drawer. The gas station bellboy stops them. They then send the gasoline to Paddy's via Dennis' land rover and Charlie siphons information technology out of the fuel tank. Six barrels later, they determine to try and sell information technology back to the gas station. The bellboy refuses, so they attempt selling it at a stand up like lemonade. Mac and Charlie outset bravado fireballs to attract customers, but Charlie accidentally burns Mac'south head.

At Charlie'south flat, Charlie duct tapes a towel to Mac'south head. Dennis and then takes control of the team, claiming to be both the looks and the brains, where Mac is the muscle. They steal Frank'southward rape van and go on to sell gasoline door-to-door. Charlie's Texas oil man character frightens a woman and they abscond equally she calls the cops.

Meanwhile, Frank and Dee are upset that Bruce Mathis is planning on giving part of Barbara's inheritance to a Muslim community middle. Frank buys a van with tinted windows ont he inside and out to survey Bruce'southward flat. The gas pedal is broken, so Dee accidentally runs into a car as she tries to drive away. Afterwards, they pause into his flat and plant a infant monitor and fertilizer. They survey over again, and after the baby monitor is discovered, they go out of the van to fight. Mac, with the towel taped to his head, takes the van simply crashes into the same car Dee hit before. The owner looks out of his window, furious.

Back at Paddy's, Frank waterboards Dee in a urinal. Dennis, Mac, and Charlie enter, bickering well-nigh the gasoline. Mac realizes that the paradigm of the gang was off because they weren't including Frank - Dennis is the looks, Mac is the brains, Charlie is the wildcard, Frank is the muscle, and Dee is the useless chick. Mac orders the gang into the van to go become Bruce. At that place, he explains his strategy: frame Bruce, turn him into the cops for a advantage, and purchase more than gas with the reward. Every bit they approach the apartment, Charlie surprises everyone by playing the wildcard and cutting the brakes. They bail out, simply the van - with trashcans full of gasoline in the dorsum - rams into the same aureate car, exploding into a fireball.

Trivia [ ]

• The theme song of Ghostbusters (by Ray Parker, Jr.) plays during
  the final scene of this episode.
• Bruce Mathis does non really appear in this episode. A photograph of him does, in a newspaper. And that is conspicuously a photomontage!

• In this episode we go another case of Dennis' hot drawings.
• Dee keeps her life savings in her sock drawer.
• This is the get-go advent of Charlie'southward oil tycoon grapheme. Nosotros'll see him once again in "Frank's Pretty Adult female". (In that episode, he'll give his name as "Hoss Bonaventure, CEO", and he'll merits to take fabricated his fortune in a vast array of ventures, including boiling denim and bridges. Unfortuately, he is poisoned past his constituents.)
• Dee's desire for vengeance is and so stiff that she went and tried to ruthlessly ruin her ain male parent's life, and was fifty-fifty willing to impale him.
• This episode references the use of the torture technique known as "waterboarding", which the United states of america government used to obtain intelligence on terrorist activity—much of which turned out to be inaccurate. Similarly, Frank's use of waterboarding leads him to brand wild accusations of Bruce Mathis beingness involved with terrorist activity. Probably, that is some sort of homage for Jack Bauer, which has been previously mentioned on the bear witness.
  ("Bums: Making a Mess All Over the Urban center")
• At the gas station Dennis refers to Charlie, who they had designated every bit the "wild bill of fare" fellow member of the group as a "mild card".
• When Mac steals Frank'due south van, as he is turning the van around, he bashes the van multiple times into the driver'south side of the auto of the person that Frank thinks is Bruce Mathis. The camera cuts away showing Charlie and Dennis, simply as it cuts back to Mac, the van is at present backside the automobile, and the driver's side of the car shows no impairment.
• In 07x09 The Gang employ a van, too - but the white 1 (instead of the black in here).
• This episode is very heavily referenced in the eighth flavor episode "The Gang Recycles Their Trash". That episode likewise revolves around a door-to-door business organization scheme: in that episode, the plan is to go door to door collecting trash for people, taking advantage of a sanitation workers' strike, though later they decide to revive the door-to-door gas scheme. At the finish, Charlie tries his "wild card" act and cuts the restriction of the van they are using, but Mac anticipates this and has had the brakes stock-still.
• The Gang's scheme to buy gas at current prices and resell it afterwards certainly is possible in existent life: it's called a Futures contract.  It ordinarily does non involve filling trash cans full of gas, however. As well gas but has a shelf life of 5-8 months.
• The Random Guy, whose car The Gang destroys in this episode, appears again in the Season Nine finale "The Gang Squashes Their Beefs ".  Apparently, The Gang's "intel" isn't getting any better, because Mac thought he was inviting Bruce Mathis to Thanksgiving.
• This episode makes a lot of references to the movie "Ghostbusters ", directed by Ivan Reitman .  Ivan Reitman's daughter Catherine plays Maureen Ponderosa.
