By the end, while he's still clearly in grief over Shelley's death and remains resolute in dragging him up the mountain, once he's succeeded he's come to terms with the unsavory side of his father well enough that he openly refers to him as a deadbeat.

* ForTheEvulz: We find out here that, after Charlie and Shelley left the castle in the previous episode, Dennis was disappointed that he wasn't able to use the booby trap he and Frank set up for them. So he used it on the Irish doctor Dee had tried hooking up with when he arrived at the castle to meet with her. Essentially, Dennis ended up scalding and possibly gravely injuring an innocent man for no other reason than he felt like it.

* BrickJoke: In the [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS15E05TheGangGoesToIreland first Ireland episode]], Dennis talks about how he dislikes a big American truck ruining the vibe of his charming European vacation. In this episode, the Gang buys that truck off another American tourist and triumphantly [[HypocriticalHumor drive it over the lush green mountains]].
* BuryMeNotOnTheLonePrairie: It's a Kelly family tradition to have your corpse thrown off the top of a mountain. Irritated by the long walk and the heavy body, every member of the Gang except Charlie drops out.
* CrackOhMyBack: Dennis invokes his concern over a bad back to try and get out of carrying the body up the mountain, and also uses it as an excuse for hanging off the corpse instead of carrying it.

* DesecratingTheDead: Shelley's corpse is frequently dropped and also slides down a steep slope, catching quite a few bumps on the way. The Gang (besides Charlie) also proposes chopping or burning the body to make it easier to carry. To add insult to injury, the Gang throws his body off the cliff at low tide, leaving it to be found by the birds and some kids.
