be hot do crime: season 3, episode 6: the gang solves the north korea situation

Total Number of Shirts Worn By Dennis: 6

Total Number of Crimes Committed: 0…I guess. Another confounding episode.

Dennis and Charlie attempt to break into the “Pirate” office, but Pennsylvania doesn’t seem to have a charge for attempted breaking and entering? Frank also attempts to break in with a gun, but doesn't have to break in anywhere because Mr. Kim comes to the door. Also, Charlie gets engaged to a 12 year old, but they don’t kiss, have sex, or actually get married so he didn’t technically break any laws. Additionally, because Charlie and Dennis see Sun-Li working and smoking a cigarette, he would have evidence to support believing she's older. But IN MY HEART I feel like they should all catch charges for this shit.

Anyways, if you have a better understanding of bird law than me, feel free to chime in on this situation because I feel like I’m missing something.

Best Shirt: Unfortunately, Dennis was right when he said a fit guy in a duster was very sexual. His iliac furrows……………okay this is a public forum so I’ll stop.

Episode Rating (on hot/crime metrics ONLY): Baby boy is hot as fuck but all of the confusing crime-not-crime left a bad taste in my mouth. 7/10.

TOTAL SERIES CRIME TALLY: DENNIS (27), MAC (27), CHARLIE (20), DEE (16), FRANK (15)

All outfits worn by Dennis under the cut, in order of cuteness, with commentary.

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD FUCKING SHIRT HOLY SHIT. not to worry i'll make sure this makes it into the list of the top shirts. look at him.....soft and warm and cozy and striking. im gonna fuckin eat him

shirtless awkward lip bite moments before being bullied within an inch of his life. we Love to see it

the duster elevates the drab shirt underneath it. also he does a spin kick in the next frame and i can't help but be soft for my spinny guy

he wears this for .00002 seconds (its his undershirt and he's getting undressed for charlie and sun-li). hence the very blurry/weird screencap. i hate it but wanted to show it off b/c im proud for catching it

i haaaaaaaaaaaaaate you! i hate you. how does he keep finding progressively worse shades of brown to wear. peep their faces though.

It's interesting that when the Sunny fandom talks about "problematic" stuff, the North Korea Situation almost never gets brought up. In the early seasons, the writers had an obvious Asian blindspot given multiple instances of iffy portrayals of Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean people. It also speaks to fandom's blindspot/ignorance when it comes to anti-Asian racism compared to transphobia and anti-blackness (not that fandom is great about these either lol). It's an ep I almost never rewatch.

YES OH MY GOD that’s another one I was shocked no one had brought up yet. That episode is fucking horrible I hate it so much. Another instance of “it’s one thing to have the characters be racist, but this is just the narrative being racist”. Like the main “joke” of the episode is “haha, don’t Asian men look like women? Don’t Asian women look like little girls?” What is this, the fucking 40s? Ugh, it’s disgusting. Awful, AWFUL episode. I was also very surprised not to hear anyone talk about it it’s so obviously trash. Another one that makes my blood boil. Absolutely one of the very worst without a doubt

sorting the gang: charlie kelly

Previously: Dennis, Mac, Dee

Two more to go, one obvious, one maybe less?

Primary: Badger (Snake model)

Something I've been taking into account is that everyone on this show is going to be biased toward looking and behaving like a Snake, primary and secondary. The Gang is a strong mutually negatively reinforcing influence on each other, there's an entire episode about that dynamic. (More on that episode later.) So I've had to kind of correct for that the whole way through. Plus it would be very boring for everyone to be the same type.

So, Snake model, pretty clear. Charlie is very attached to Frank - when Frank starts dating his mom he stages an elaborate plot to get him "back in my arms." Obviously for most of the series he has an unhealthy stalker obsession with the Waitress. He goes to extreme lengths to protect them, or at least to do what he perceives as protecting them, and will go to great lengths to get revenge on anyone who'd hurt them...

...but those extreme lengths get superseded all the time. In "The Waitress Is Getting Married" he agrees to go on some dates with other people at the Gang's suggestion, and at the end when Brad says he's going to trick Dee into thinking he likes her, he gives Brad a box of hornets to punish him. (Although he was planning on doing it anyway) He involves the Gang in his proposal musical in "The Nightman Cometh." He is generally willing to join whoever in the Gang on whatever they're scheming to do. And also people outside the Gang, whenever there's a storyline about genuinely bonding with an outsider, Charlie's usually the one doing it: Buster in "The Gang Gets Whacked," the girl in "The Gang Solves the North Korea Situation," the juggalo kid in "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth..."

This is because Charlie is, out of everyone in the Gang, the one most attached to the idea of it as a group. When his place in the group is threatened he gets really upset. In "The Gang Gets a New Member," he is fixated on Schmitty replacing him and devastated when the Gang chooses Schmitty over him when he gives an ultimatum about it, unlike in high school when he gave the same ultimatum and they didn't.

(Idk about dehumanizing but maybe his being totally negative at Schmitty or his sisters counts?)

Charlie is super identified with his role in the Gang even when that role makes him the butt of jokes, being the one doing the Charlie work, etc. He can be susceptible to peer pressure, admitting in "The Gang Misses the Boat" that he only picks on Dee because the Gang does. Charlie did this in high school too: he really identified with being "the Dirtgrub" even though that was a nickname given to him by a bully, and threw himself right back in the role in "The High School Reunion."

Also, intangibles. I feel like Badgers have "nice guy energy" even when they aren't nice people. Charlie is an unstable, delusional stalker with severe anger issues and a vindictive streak that shows up from time to time, has literally killed people, but it is almost universally agreed upon among fans that he's "the good one."

Secondary: Lion (lowkey Snake model, highkey Badger model)

Everyone's secondaries in this show are pretty exaggerated. Mac is a Lion of the loud exploding at situations variety. Charlie is a Lion of the guileless and do-whatever-I-want variety.

"I am who I am." "OK but let's pretend like you're not who you are..."

Basically, Charlie is Charlie. The Gang is constantly frustrated with Charlie being Charlie. Think of Dee complaining in "Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats" that she can't take him anywhere because he insists on stuff like eating spaghetti at the movies and a spa. Or of him being the WILD CARD. His guilelessness endears him to other characters as often as it screws everyone over. And like Mac he also takes the direct approach to situations - think him suddenly kidnapping the critic in "Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia," or knocking down the wall in "Risk E. Rat's Pizza and Amusement Center" last season.

The Snake model comes with the territory, he schemes like everyone else does, and he pretends to be various characters to execute the scheme. But it's usually on his own terms - including when people tell him not to do it - often on the fly, and usually something he does because he wants to, for fun. Think the Texas oil tycoon from "Frank's Pretty Woman," crashing everyone's schemes by playing Green Man, anything regarding "bird law"...

The Badger model is the more visible one. When he cares about something he really cares about it being done thoroughly. "Charlie Work" is an entire episode about this.

galaxy brain tier prepwork

You also see this in "Frank Reynolds' Little Beauties" and "The Nightman Cometh" when he gets put in charge of directing shows and bossily micromanages them. There's a correlation between Charlie being put in charge of something and him insisting that everything is done right. In his own... unique fashion.

In conclusion, a Lion theme song.

#3x06: the gang solves the north korea situation #mac&den

[a-a-a-anon]

any other asian/poc sunny fans in awe of how popular the "solves the north korea situation" episode still is. not rcg perpetuating the infantilization of asian women (as if an asian child looks the same as an asian woman right?) and the tiger mom stereotype, having a scene where an asian person just happens to know martial arts, and having the asian characters speak in super exaggerated accents all in one episode (listen to tania's/sun li's real accent here). and then when it came to talk about it in the podcast they were half apologetic but mostly embarrassed/awkward for like 2 minutes and then kinda just moved past it. "our hearts were in the right place." it's all so different from when they portray the gang doing racist things because in this case they're portraying asian people as though they're Like That (in this universe).

#“our hearts were in the right place” is crazy to say about the racism in this episode LMAO ok we get it ur a white liberal ♥️ #because i simply dont believe they were putting real consideration and thought into how they were portraying asian people in this episode #ik they were younger but they were like 30. and ik it was the early 2000s but why is it evoking breakfast at tiffanys (1961) 💀 #i seem like a hater rn but i do love the show but omg are some things so stupid and i think its a mistake that rcg does like to write #episodes like this that kind of have to do with POC and their writing team is majority white #(at least from what i could tell) #i still love the pirate joke and the show etc. but you know. im like what do you mean this is an iconic episode everyone loves #nina.rambles #rant #iasip #this is a post For Me. and also yes i admit i like problematic media its my favorite
