comment |
Also titled "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The 7 Secrets Of Awakening The Highly Effective Four-hour Giant, Today", released in 2015. A Stylistic Suck book written by Mac, Charlie (translated by others), Dennis, Dee and Frank, who are convinced their advice will net them loads of money, but get way too distracted and bored with actually writing anything. |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other |
| | The Gang Writes A Self Help Book / int_10dcbe05 |
comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Dee looked after Dennis when they were kids, even when he was mean along the rest of the family, and Dennis assumes he's in heaven because Dee looks happy, and crawls back into the dark when she's not (because she's poisoned him and he has the audacity to enjoy it). |

Stylistic Suck: It's a terrible book on purpose, and the company who had to publish it in-universe is threatening to sue the Gang. |

Rape as Backstory |
| | The Gang Writes A Self Help Book / int_524f94d3 |
comment |
Rape as Backstory: Frank was far too close with his mother and has no clue what's wrong with the night man, Charlie was creeped on by his scoutmaster, Dee had Sexual Extortion from her teacher, and Dennis takes a time where Frank is jacking off to say he still loves him despite what happened when he was a kid. |

Surprise Incest |
| | The Gang Writes A Self Help Book / int_5bca5a56 |
comment |
Surprise Incest: When Dennis has been poisoned by Dee (he deserved it) and hallucinates that he's in heaven, he tells Frank with a dopey grin that he loves him despite what he did to Dennis as a kid. But he does it while Frank is actually jerking off under a sheet over a "hot broad", and Frank thinks Dennis is just being a freak as usual. |

Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Mac is still at the stage of the show where he's in total denial, and has a chapter on how he's so straight. |

Abusive Parents |
| | The Gang Writes A Self Help Book / int_b11ac9f5 |
comment |
Abusive Parents: Frank calls the twins ungrateful for him helping their bar, at best clumsily explains that he doesn't want to fuck either of them just exploit them, steals from them, blames Dennis for having a "male escort business", and complains that Dee isn't hot enough. The book also gives him bordering on Parental Incest with his mom, and a father who was physically and emotionally abusive. |

comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Dee calls the DENNIS system gross and sociopathic, but only because it doesn't involve money (that she uses to pay her rent). Her SINNED System - not that SINNED system, but pretty close - follows: |

Incest Subtext |
| | The Gang Writes A Self Help Book / int_bdc453a0 |
comment |
Incest Subtext: Dennis does his usual Suspiciously Specific Denial of how repulsive his sister is, gets off on being mean to her, but only wants a heaven where she's happy, while Dee is fixated on her brother's boner and sex life, has fantasies about smothering him to death with a dick, but doesn't actually want him dead. |
