History Recap / ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E01MacAndDennisManhunters

* AppetiteEqualsHealth: Inverted. Dee and Charlie get a craving to eat meat after thinking they've eaten a person. The hunger and craving to eat more means that they're sick, not healthy. Eventually, it turns out that they're just infected with a tapeworm.

** Frank keeps confusing his life with the events of ''Film/RamboIV''.

** Charlie and Dee are both grossed out by the morgue attendant's tacit acceptance of necrophilia (and his assumption that this is what they've come to the morgue for). They also agonize over whether to eat the corpse of a white man or that of a black man: the white corpse looks "tastier" and they do prefer white meat, but they worry that not eating the black corpse might be racist.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: the morgue attendant is this, as he responds to Charlie and Dee's vague and suspicious reasons for wanting to get into the morgue by jovially assuming they are there for [[ILoveTheDead necrophiliac purposes]], [[PragmaticVillainy which he charges a flat rate of $50 for]]. Charlie and Dee are [[EvenEvilHasStandards immediately put off by this]], resulting in an amusing argument over who is the real "weirdo" in this situation: the morgue attendant points out that he may have e very unusual fetishes and turn a blind eye to necrophilia, but Charlie and Dee have shown up to the morgue with a cooking pad and a six-pack of beer that they aren't willing to explain.

* IAteWhat: Charlie and Dee believing they ate human meat and become addicted to cannibalism. Subverted as it was actually racoon meat they ate which was infected with parasites.

* MysteryMeat: Dee and Charlie go to a Asian meat market to try a little bit of everything, whereupon the owner offers to sell them ''monkey''.

* HorrorHunger: Dee and Charlie become convinced that they're suffering from this when Frank tells them that they've eaten human meat and they find that nothing else can satisfy their cravings. It's eventually revealed that they actually ate raccoon, and the reason they're so hungry is probably because they got tapeworms from it. (Earlier Charlie mentioned he didn't even really cook the meat, so it certainly wasn't sanitary).

-->'''Frank''': You probably got a tapeworm. That cool meat is lousy with parasites.

Mac and Dennis decide to hunt a man for sport, and select Rickety Cricket as their prey. Meanwhile, Charlie and Dee become convinced that they're now cannibals after Frank tells them the mystery meat they stole from his fridge and ate was actually human flesh.

* LostFoodGrievance: Frank is so irritated by Dee and Charlie stealing his meat that he tells them they've eaten human flesh in revenge.

->'''-- Rickety Cricket'''

!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:

-->'''Dennis:''' Guess it's just you and us and a couple pairs of sour, sweaty balls.
-->''(Cut to black)''

-->'''Mac:''' How do you catch a cricket?
-->'''Dennis:''' With a giant bird.
-->''(Cut to Dee aggressively pecking at her sandwich like a bird)''
-->'''Charlie:''' Dee, will you calm down? You're eating that cheesesteak like some kind of giant bird.

-->'''Dennis:''' Alright, how did his legs just do that?
-->'''Mac:''' I'm not doing that, Dennis.
-->'''Dennis:''' No, that was incredibly dangerous.

* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Mac and Dennis decide to hunt a man for sport, arguing that it's more badass than hunting animals since humans can fight back.

* NapoleonDelusion: Frank spends the entire episode thinking the ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' movies actually happened to him.

* EnemyRisingBehind: Frank does this to Cricket when he's hiding under the bridge.

Mac and Dennis decide to hunt for sport, using humans as their prey. Meanwhile, Charlie and Dee become cannibals after eating Frank's pack of human meat.
