1	->'''Dennis:''' Guess what, pal? Paddy's Pub can't be bought.\

5	When a restaurant chain offers to buy Paddy's Pub, Dennis, Mac and Frank try to make the deal go through by attempting to show the rep a good time. As non-shareholders in the bar, Dee and Charlie are left in the lurch and pressure The Waitress into getting them job at the [=TGIFriday=]'s-style restaurant where she's now assistant manager.
6	----
7	!!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
8	* AmbiguouslyBi: Dennis seems to think that he knows absolutely everything there is to know about gay subculture.
9	* AskAStupidQuestion: Charlie asking the Waitress if she works at the Oldies Rock Cafe when she's standing in front of him in the uniform.
10	-->'''Waitress:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Wow, look at you. You cracked the case]].
11	* BaitAndSwitchComment:
12	-->'''Waitress:''' A Starbucks moved in right across the street and they're stealing all our business.\
13	'''Dee:''' Right across the street?! ...Well, that is good to know. I ''love'' Starbucks!
14	* CallBack: Dennis, Mac and Frank take the corporate rep to the same strip club they visited in "[[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E01CharlieGetsCrippled Charlie Gets Crippled]]".
15	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Frank tells the guys that they need to "get wooed" by the rep, Charlie thinks he's saying "get wood".
16	* CoolOldGuy: Utterly subverted with the Yellowjackets, Frank's old "gang" from the fifties that he gathers together to intimidate the corporate rep. Rather than doing anything remotely like their glory days, they get mistaken for a doo-wop group, and the oldest member ends up dying of a heart attack on the rep's doorstep.
17	* DerailedForDetails: The gang repeatedly do this while trying to negotiate the sale of the bar, getting sidetracked into arguments about everything from helicopters to Hiroshima to gay culture.
18	* EntitledBastard: Dee thinks she's entitled to some of the sale profits even though she doesn't own any shares in the bar.
19	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Waitress asks if Dee went to high school. Later episodes establish that EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether, and the Waitress remembers this. It's the others who don't remember her.
20	* EveryManHasHisPrice: The guys initially claim that they'll never sell the bar, but quickly change their minds once they see how much is being offered.
21	* FingerSnappingStreetGang: After Frank gets back together his [[{{Delinquents}} childhood gang]] to try to dissuade a restaurant chain from buying a rival property, they are shown snapping their fingers in unison a few times. Rather than making them look intimidating, it's done to highlight how out-of-touch and old the gang members have become, to the point that families mistake them for performers and give them cash.
22	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Mac is staring in bewilderment at the Yellowjackets' singing, a random pedestrian thinks they're all [[StreetPerformer busking]] and stuffs money in Mac's coffee cup.
23	* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Dennis, Mac, and Charlie insist they won't sell the bar under any circumstances until they find out how much is being offered and immediately change their minds. Frank later does the exact same thing.
24	* JerkassHasAPoint: While they were jerks about it, the men weren't wrong when they pointed out that Dee doesn't own equity in the bar and, thus, won't get any of the money they'll make by selling it.
25	* ManipulativeBitch: Dee manipulates the Waitress into turning a blind eye to her stealing from the restaurant by implying that Dennis has feelings for her.
26	* NeverMyFault: Dennis, Mac, and Frank blame Charlie and his helicopter request for the rep pulling out of the offer to buy Paddy's. While it certainly didn't help, the behavior of the gang as well as their prior demands such as wanting to blow up the bar already put the rep off on it.
27	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Against her better judgment, the Waitress hires Dee, Charlie, and Dennis to work at the restaurant where she's assistant manager. It ends up getting her fired. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Though, she blames it all on Charlie]].
28	* NothingPersonal: Mac claims this about the guys selling the bar and leaving Dee "jobless and broke".
29	* OffscreenTeleportation: The rep disappears while Dennis, Mac, and Frank are lost in their discussion of gay culture at the strip club, despite the fact that they're facing him the entire time.
30	* OnlySaneEmployee: Charlie demonstrates that he's the only member of the gang who is actually competent at his job when he, Dennis, and Dee end up working at the Oldies Rock Cafe, though it's implied he's doing it at least in part to impress the Waitress.
31	* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder:
32	-->'''Frank:''' What kind of man doesn't like to watch a naked woman swing round on poles?\
33	'''Corporate rep:''' A gay man, for one.
34	* StatusQuoIsGod: The gang are all back to working at Paddy's by the end of the episode.
35	* StraightGay: The rep doesn't have any stereotypical gay mannerisms, which is immediately commented on by the gang.
36	-->'''Mac:''' You're so big and tough! You do not come across as gay.\
37	'''Frank:''' You don't look like a gay guy.\
38	'''Dennis:''' That's 'cause he's a [[TheBear bear]].
