The conclusions of both the Acorn Boys and invention fair storylines go out in some really over the top ways. Talk a little on breaking these stories and how they dovetail together in the end.

DAVE CHERNIN: I think sometimes we’ll start with an idea for the episode to end in a really big place so we’ll challenge our writers to try and come up with that scenario and build to it in a really grounded fashion. Sometimes we pull it off and sometimes we don’t, but for this one I think we had this big ending in mind very early on.

It’s a strong visual, but you guys always earn it like in some of the best Always Sunny episodes.

DANIEL LIBMAN: Yeah, we always want that. The Acorn Boys stuff was a lot of fun.

JOHN CHERNIN: It was basically all of us when we were kids. How we tried to gain access to anything that could possible be cool, but not actually having anything worthwhile or dangerous. It’s funny because every now and then some women on the writing staff would be like, “Why is it so important that they find tampons and maxi pads?” And it’s just because they’re the objects that are the “closest to sex” that they can get.
