    What a great episode

    This episode is one of the most iconic and memorial episodes.

    It really captures Sunny at its best and is actually such a great episode. Every character and actor that appears does a great job and will make you laugh out loud.

    The whole wild card thing is genius. Charlie not understanding it will make me laugh each time. I also think this is a great episode for Mac, he makes me laugh the most in this episode and just is great.

    Dee and Frank's plot line is a little short and seems like it's not really expressed. But it's still a great plot.

    The guy that keeps getting his car blown up is also hilarious and does such a great job.

    Overall: 9.3/10.

    This is why I love Sunny!

    This episode is brilliant. All characters are doing what they do best. Hilarious and absurd situations follow each other in fast pace.

    Dennis, Mac and Charlie solve the oil crisis while Frank and Dee go after Bruce.

    Most brilliant parts (personal):

    Frank torturing Dee (his own daughter) Charlie completely blowing the scene where he talks with a southern accent

    And of course, Charlie jumping out of the car when he cut the brake line.

    This episode is a real WILDCARD!!!

    • Trivia
      The theme song from S.O.S. fantômes (1984), sung by Ray Parker Jr., is played over the end credits. Danny DeVito (Frank Reynolds) has a small cameo in the Ray Parker Jr.: Ghostbusters (1984) music video.
    • Goofs
      When Mac steals Frank's van, as he is turning the van around, he bashes the van multiple times into the driver's side of the car of the person that Frank thinks is Bruce Mathis. The camera cuts away showing Charlie and Dennis, but as it cuts back to Mac, the van is now behind the car, and the driver's side of the car shows no damage.

      Mac: [panicking] Guys, why aren't the brakes working?

      Charlie Kelly: Because I cut the brakes! Wild card, bitches! Yeeee-haw!
