"This ought to do wonders for business."
— Dennis, after a dead body is removed from the bar
When an old man is found dead in Paddy's, Mac and Dennis vie for the affection of his attractive granddaughter, while Charlie discovers that Dennis and Dee's anti-Semitic grandfather Pop-Pop was a Nazi officer and tries to sell off his uniform.
This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: This exchange:Dennis: What are we gonna do about this booth? All this piss and shit everywhere...
Mac: All the death germs...
Dee: Plus that guy was so old. Old people are gross. - Break the Haughty: After Dennis shows up while Mac and Charlie are burning Pop-Pop's Nazi stuff, just to rub it in Mac's face that he had sex with Rebecca, Mac gives Dennis the picture of Pop-Pop in a Nazi uniform, flat out tells Dennis he was a Nazi, and leaves with Charlie.
- Butt-Monkey: When discussing who should clean up the booth that the old guy died in, the other three all immediately turn to look at Charlie. Cut to him wearing a trash bag, face mask and rubber gloves and carrying a hose. (Granted, as the janitor, it would be his job to deal with that)
- Cock Fight: Mac and Dennis spend most of the episode fighting each other over the dead guy's hot granddaughter.
- Crosses the Line Twice: The Stinger, which shows Charlie eating cereal and watching cartoons in his underwear while wearing the Nazi cap.
- Even Evil Has Standards: The gang don't like Nazis, though they appear to have few qualms about profiting off selling their uniforms.
- Expecting Someone Taller: After mistaking Charlie for Dennis, Pop-Pop comments that he ended up shorter than he was expecting.
- Five-Second Foreshadowing: As Mac and Charlie burn the box of Pop-Pop's Nazi items, both feel the need to double check that the other didn't keep something from the box. Not only does Mac give Dennis a picture of Pop-Pop a few minutes later to get him to shut up about Rebecca, but The Stinger shows Charlie watching cartoons while wearing the hat.
- The "Fun" in "Funeral": Under the impression that they knew him, Rebecca asks Mac and Dennis to help her organize her grandfather's funeral, so they just pay a bunch of homeless guys to attend and pretend to be his friends. Dennis also gives an off-the-cuff (and totally bullshit) speech about the deceased, for the sole purpose of seducing Rebecca.
- Gilligan Cut: When Charlie tries to go and check on Dee in the nursing home, Pop-Pop assures him that she's probably fine. Cut to Dee frantically splashing her face with water in the bathroom, and then screaming hysterically when she turns around to find an old woman stood behind her.
- Hypocritical Humor:
- Charlie telling Dee off for being so dismissive of the old people, pointing out that they can hear her, before proceeding to talk loudly about the "slow and painful crawl to death".
- Charlie bemoans the "sad throwaway culture we live in" that ignores old people as he uses a hose to clean up after the dead man so they can get right back to business as usual.
- Also this:Mac: Screw that old bitch, he's a Nazi, let him die and burn in hell... Let's sell this shit on eBay!
- Identical Grandson: Mac and Charlie find an old picture of Pop-Pop in his Nazi days and comment that he looks exactly like Dennis.
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: Charlie assumes Pop-Pop is asking him to help Pop-Pop kill himself. Pop-Pop is actually asking Charlie to help with his property.
- Kill It with Fire: Charlie wants to clean up the mess left by the dead man by burning it. The rest of the Gang protest this idea, and he complains that they never let him light things on fire.
- Mistaken Identity: Pop-Pop mistakes Charlie for Dennis.
- Nazi Grandpa: Charlie discovers that Pop-Pop was a Nazi when he finds his old uniform.
- No Dead Body Poops: Averted; the first thing Mac says on approaching the body is that he's "shit his pants". Dennis later remarks that the entire booth where he died is covered in piss and shit.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Dennis comments that the Paddy's will never live it down if word gets out that a man died in there.
- Please Wake Up: In the episode's cold open, Mac does this in a less dramatic/tearjerking way than how the trope usually goes in an attempt to wake the old man up.Dee: Who is this??Mac: I dunno, I never seen him before.Dee: Well, can you get him out of here? He stinks!(Mac approaches the old man, thinking that he's passed out.)Mac: Hey, let's go- (Immediately gets a whiff of the old man, having evacuated his bowels due to dying.) Oh, my J- Oh, my God! He shit his pants, Dee! Dee, he shit his pants!Dee: I don't wanna know that!Mac: (Grabs a pool cue) I'm gonna poke him with this. (Starts poking the corpse whilst covering his nose.) Get up, old man! This isn't the American Legion, wake up!(The old man doesn't wake up.)Mac: ...Yo!Dee: What's the matter?Mac: He won't wake up.Dee: Well, poke him harder, in his ribs!Mac: (Starts to poke the old man again.) Wake up, old man! Wake! Up!(The old man slumps over, still not responding. This makes Mac realize the truth.)(Smash Cut to Title Card)
- Poking Dead Things with a Stick: In the Cold Open, Mac and Dee discover a body in the bar that they think is asleep and try nudging awake with a pool cue before they realize it's dead.
- Putting on the Reich: Charlie answers his door dressed in the Nazi uniform at one point.
- Pyromaniac: Early in the episode, Charlie wants to torch the booth where the dead body was found, complaining that the others never let him burn things. When he and Mac burn the box of Nazi paraphernalia later on, they both agree that doing so is fun.
- Racist Grandpa: Pop-Pop, who thinks all the nurses are Jews and are stealing his belongings. That, plus the whole Nazi thing.
- Underdressed for the Occasion: The homeless people that Mac and Dennis invite to the funeral. Also Mac, whose idea of formalwear appears to be a tie over a polo shirt.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Dee does this after Pop-Pop touches her face.
- What the Hell, Hero?: The museum curator puts Mac and Charlie on blast for assuming he'd buy Nazi memorabilia, convinced that they obtained it illegally somehow, assures them that seeing any of it isn't "making his day" regardless of the condition it's in and that he's going to call the cops on them the second they leave the museum.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Dee is terrified of old people.
