* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: The ganggo on demonstrate that they really do love and care about each other in their own warped way as they hold hands beneath the water and wait to drown.
* BadImpressionists: Dee does an impression of Obama that's both terrible and racist. Averted by Dennis, who actually does aChristian fellowship pretty spot-on impression of Mac's father.
* BottleEpisode: Aside from the opening and closing scenes, the entire episode takes place inside a single room and features no additional characters other than the gang.
* CallBack:
** Dennis claims that he didn't want Luther visiting his and Mac's apartment in case he tried to [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E05MacAndCharlieDiePart1 eat their butts]].
** Dennis [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS09E01TheGangBrokeDee once again]] tells Dee that he loves her in a moment of high emotion, only for her to reject him again.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: It's revealed at the end of the episode that the gang could have been entitled to an insurance payout from the cruise operators, had they not just confessed to a litany of crimes.
* ChekhovsGun:
** Dennis mentions in the first act that he always carries a piece of onion around in his pocket in case he ever needs to make himself cry. He later uses it to feign remorse after hurting Mac's feelings.
** At one point the gang find a flare gun which Charlie later uses to shoot himself in the head in an attempt to prove that they're already dead.
* ContinuityNod:
** Charlie states that there was a time when he [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS05E02TheGangHitsTheRoad wouldn't even leave Philly]].
** Mac says that he and Dennis [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS11E05MacAndDennisMoveToTheSuburbs don't allow dogs in their house]].
* CooldownHug: When Charlie starts freaking out, Dennis is able to calm him down with a "soccer hooligan" chant.
* DrowningPit: The brig where the gang are trapped becomes one, rapidly filling up with water after the ship turns on its side.
* DumbassHasAPoint: For the first half of the episode, Charlie is the only member of the gang who seems to recognize the seriousness of the situation.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The rest of the gang are appalled by Dee's impression of Obama, which they find extremely racist.
* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Discussed in-universe, as Charlie delivers an entire speech about how believes the gang are dead and in hell already.
-->'''Charlie:''' We're dead. And we're in hell, we're just being toyed with here. Or maybe we're not in hell yet, you know, maybe this is purgatory and we're on our way to be judged. And soon, oh boy... ''(laughs)'' Yeah, soon we'll really be in hell. Won't that be something?
* EverythingIsRacist: Mac seems to suffer from the "everything is homophobic" variant.
-->'''Dennis:''' Yes, Mac, a human pyramid! Alright, you and I will be the bottoms.
-->'''Mac:''' Why, 'cause I'm ''gay?''
-->'''Dennis:''' No, not because you're gay, dumbass! Because we're the strongest!
* FlippingTheTable: Mac flips an ''imaginary'' table after the rest of the gang ruin his equally imaginary dinner party.
* FreakOut: Charlie has at least three: first at the beginning of the episode due to being locked in the brig; then when Dennis confirms that the boat isn't moving; and finally after the boat flips on its side. The last one culminates in him shooting himself in the head with a flare gun.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Mac reveals that Charlie has been changing the prescription on Frank's glasses in order tobecome better people.keep Frank dependent on him.
* GilliganCut:
-->'''Dennis:''' Let's just try to enjoy these last moments we've got together? Okay? Or these last hours. Or, hell... it could even be ''days''.
-->''(Cut to ten minutes later, with the gang all treading water at the very top of the room.)''
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Discussed when Dee tells the rest of the gang not to talk to her; Mac says that this would be a bad idea, as his dad apparently spent some time in solitary confinement.
* GoodNewsBadNews: Dennis does a variant when he sums up the "pros and cons" of the situation.
-->'''Dennis:''' Pro: we've cut our conflict resolution time in half. Four hours, that's good for us. That's -- that's huge. Con: Charlie's right, the ship is probably not moving because we definitely would have been in the Bahamas by now.
* JiveTurkey: Dee's impression of Obama comes off this way, with lots of "yo" and "brotha".
* LockedInARoom: Almost the entire episode takes place with the gang locked together in the ship's brig. Much bickering and backstabbing ensues, along with a few genuinely heartfelt moments.
* MoodWhiplash: The first half of the episode is pretty standard, lighthearted bottle episode fare featuring impressions, imaginary dinner parties and an extended ''Stomp''-like musical number. The second half after the boat flips, while still comedic, has a noticeably darker tone as the gang realize the seriousness of their situation and come to terms with their impending deaths.
* {{Mondegreen}}:
-->'''Frank:''' ''(singing)'' Amazing Grace/How sweet the sauce...
-->'''Dee:''' Sauce?! It's not sauce! You gotta get the words right or Jesus is gonna know we're trying to trick him!
* NotSoFinalConfession: Once the apparent inevitablility of their deaths sinks in, the gang decides that it might be a good idea to get some things of their chests.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Mac is so devastated by the revelation that his father has been writing to him and Dennis threw away the letters that he says he doesn't even have the energy to attack Dennis for it and instead simply sits down in the rising water. It's out of character enough that the others are visibly unnerved.
* PrayerIsALastResort: Despite the fact that none of them believe in God, the rest of the gang implore Mac (who lost his faith in the previous episode) to pray for a miracle on their behalf just before they go under the water.
* PreviouslyOn: Lampshaded and parodied in the opening scene, with the gang arguing as to whether they should "recap" the events of part one for their unseen audience.
-->'''Frank:''' I'm very cloudy about the beginning. I think I need a recap.
-->'''Dennis:''' Recap?!
-->'''Charlie:''' A recap would be good, you know, just to kind of brush up on everything that happened.
-->'''Mac:''' A recap honestly might be good because, you know, we want him to be completely clear before the final judgment.
* TheReveal: Turns out the gang aren't talking to God after all; they're talking to an insurance adjuster whom they believed to be a cop.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: The gang have a very heated argument about what a boat engine should sound like. It's later revealed that this lasted for over ''four hours''.
* SeriousBusiness: When Dee reveals that Mac owns a Cowboys jersey, the others react as though he's killed someone.
* SinkingShipScenario: The premise of the episode is that the gang are trapped on board a sinking ship.
* ShoutOut:

* StrawNihilist: Mac becomes one for the duration of the episode.
-->'''Mac:''' What difference does it make, you know? Life is just a series of events with no meaning or plan. You know, it's like we live, we die, we're gay, we're straight, we're tops, we're bottoms...
* StopBeingStereotypical: Dennis notes at one point that Mac is really throwing himself into his new gay lifestyle, "stereotypes and all".
* TemptingFate: Dennis tells the others that everything is going to be okay immediately before the ship tips on its side.
* TinMan: Dennis reveals that he carries a piece of onion around in his pocket to make himself cry when others expect him to appear sympathetic.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: It's revealed at the end of the episode that the gang could have been entitled to an insurance payout from the cruise operators, had they not just confessed to a litany of crimes.
* ChekhovsGun:
** Dennis mentions in the first act that he always carries a piece of onion around in his pocket in case he ever needs to make himself cry. He later uses it to feign remorse after hurting Mac's feelings.

** Mac says that he and Dennis [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS11E05MacAndDennisMoveToTheSuburbs don't allow dogs in their house]].
* CooldownHug: When Charlie starts freaking out, Dennis is able to calm him down with a "soccer hooligan" chant.
* DrowningPit: The brig where the gang are trapped becomes one, rapidly filling up with water after the ship turns on its side.
* DumbassHasAPoint: For the first half of the episode, Charlie is the only member of the gang who seems to recognize the seriousness of the situation.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The rest of the gang are appalled by Dee's impression of Obama, which they find extremely racist.
* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Discussed in-universe, as Charlie delivers an entire speech about how believes the gang are dead and in hell already.
-->'''Charlie:''' We're dead. And we're in hell, we're just being toyed with here. Or maybe we're not in hell yet, you know, maybe this is purgatory and we're on our way to be judged. And soon, oh boy... ''(laughs)'' Yeah, soon we'll really be in hell. Won't that be something?
* EverythingIsRacist: Mac seems to suffer from the "everything is homophobic" variant.
-->'''Dennis:''' Yes, Mac, a human pyramid! Alright, you and I will be the bottoms.
-->'''Mac:''' Why, 'cause I'm ''gay?''
-->'''Dennis:''' No, not because you're gay, dumbass! Because we're the strongest!
* FlippingTheTable: Mac flips an ''imaginary'' table after the rest of the gang ruin his equally imaginary dinner party.
* FreakOut: Charlie has at least three: first at the beginning of the episode due to being locked in the brig; then when Dennis confirms that the boat isn't moving; and finally after the boat flips on its side. The last one culminates in him shooting himself in the head with a flare gun.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Mac reveals that Charlie has been changing the prescription on Frank's glasses in order to
* GilliganCut:
-->'''Dennis:''' Let's just try to enjoy these last moments we've got together? Okay? Or these last hours. Or, hell... it could even be ''days''.
-->''(Cut to ten minutes later, with the gang all treading water at the very top of the room.)''
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Discussed when Dee tells the rest of the gang not to talk to her; Mac says that this would be a bad idea, as his dad apparently spent some time in solitary confinement.
* GoodNewsBadNews: Dennis does a variant when he sums up the "pros and cons" of the situation.
-->'''Dennis:''' Pro: we've cut our conflict resolution time in half. Four hours, that's good for us. That's -- that's huge. Con: Charlie's right, the ship is probably not moving because we definitely would have been in the Bahamas by now.
* JiveTurkey: Dee's impression of Obama comes off this way, with lots of "yo" and "brotha".
* LockedInARoom: Almost the entire episode takes place with the gang locked together in the ship's brig. Much bickering and backstabbing ensues, along with a few genuinely heartfelt moments.
* MoodWhiplash: The first half of the episode is pretty standard, lighthearted bottle episode fare featuring impressions, imaginary dinner parties and an extended ''Stomp''-like musical number. The second half after the boat flips, while still comedic, has a noticeably darker tone as the gang realize the seriousness of their situation and come to terms with their impending deaths.
* {{Mondegreen}}:
-->'''Frank:''' ''(singing)'' Amazing Grace/How sweet the sauce...
-->'''Dee:''' Sauce?! It's not sauce! You gotta get the words right or Jesus is gonna know we're trying to trick him!
* NotSoFinalConfession: Once the apparent inevitablility of their deaths sinks in, the gang decides that it might be a good idea to get some things of their chests. In reality, however, their "confessions" are actually just tattling on each other: Dee reveals that Mac owns a Cowboys jersey, Mac reveals that Charlie changes the prescription on Frank's glasses, and Charlie reveals that Dennis has been throwing away letters from Mac's father.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Mac is so devastated by the revelation that his father has been writing to him and Dennis threw away the letters that he says he doesn't even have the energy to attack Dennis for it and instead simply sits down in the rising water. It's out of character enough that the others are visibly unnerved.
* PrayerIsALastResort: Despite the fact that none of them believe in God, the rest of the gang implore Mac (who lost his faith in the previous episode) to pray for a miracle on their behalf just before they go under the water.
* PreviouslyOn: Lampshaded and parodied in the opening scene, with the gang arguing as to whether they should "recap" the events of part one for their unseen audience.
-->'''Frank:''' I'm very cloudy about the beginning. I think I need a recap.
-->'''Dennis:''' Recap?!
-->'''Charlie:''' A recap would be good, you know, just to kind of brush up on everything that happened.
-->'''Mac:''' A recap honestly might be good because, you know, we want him to be completely clear before the final judgment.
* TheReveal: Turns out the gang aren't talking to God after all; they're talking to an insurance adjuster whom they believed to be a cop.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: The gang have a very heated argument about what a boat engine should sound like. It's later revealed that this lasted for over ''four hours''.
* SeriousBusiness: When Dee reveals that Mac owns a Cowboys jersey, the others react as though he's killed someone.
* SinkingShipScenario: The premise of the episode is that the gang are trapped on board a sinking ship.
* ShoutOut:
** Dennis does an impression of [=CCH=] Pounder in ''Series/TheShield''.
** The gang use various objects they find lying around the brig as percussive instruments to perform an impromptu ''Stomp''-style musical number.
* StatusQuoIsGod: By the end of the episode, Mac has his faith restored and reverts back to denying that he's gay, believing God to have answered his prayer.
* StrawNihilist: Mac becomes one for the duration of the episode.
-->'''Mac:''' What difference does it make, you know? Life is just a series of events with no meaning or plan. You know, it's like we live, we die, we're gay, we're straight, we're tops, we're bottoms...
* StopBeingStereotypical: Dennis notes at one point that Mac is really throwing himself into his new gay lifestyle, "stereotypes and all".
* TemptingFate: Dennis tells the others that everything is going to be okay immediately before the ship tips on its side.
* TinMan: Dennis reveals that he carries a piece of onion around in his pocket to make himself cry when others expect him to appear sympathetic.
