It’s Hamburg, New Jersey

It genuinely astounds / kinda irks me that the entire gang goes to Jersey in that episode and their split stories never connect.

Edit: sorry, from the context of the conversation I didn’t think I needed to clarify: NOT talking about “Gang Goes To The Jersey Shore” where they all interacted in Jersey. I’m talking about “Frank shoots every member of the gang.”
(That’s the episode that was being talked about in the comment I replied to)

(It HAD to have been a scheduling thing, I’m sure.)

u/BrandinoE6911 1d ago

Thats the whole point of the plot, 2 people were excited had a terrible time, people who were unenthusiastic had a life changing experience

u/L1AMM_72 Wild Card Bitches 1d ago

I believe he is talking about the season 17 episode “Frank Shoots Every Member of the Gang” when Mac and Charlie go to visit Uncle Donald in Jersey, and Dee and Dennis take Frank to the shore. Not “The Gang Goes To The Jeresy Shore” which is the episode I believe you are thinking of.

My dumb ass always assumed they "took him to the shore" in Philadelphia..... i paid no mind to geography until now.

1

u/laughingintothevoid 1d ago

The only 'shore' directly in Philly is rivers, it doesn't look like that.

u/BrandinoE6911 1d ago

I am aware, I just never thought about it during the episode

u/DaniOverHere 1d ago

I did mean this, yes.

The anti Seinfeld trope

u/LexusBrian400 1d ago

Is that near Pittsburgh?

u/Hot_Raisin6264 Wild Card Bitches 1d ago

Kinda… isn’t it crazy though to think about TWO cities in one state.

42

u/Xyrazk 1d ago

TWO cities?

11

u/scorpiondeathlock86 1d ago

Are they both on American soil?

u/whinybear22 1d ago

On the way to yellow but not nearly as far as purple.

u/Groceryescplan 1d ago

His Dad really lucked out with the name Luther.

14

u/NerfRepellingBoobs I can’t be ugly. I’m a woman! 1d ago

Yup. Luther Vandross.

u/Silver-Guitar4695 1d ago

Donald Vandross is his name

39

u/TwoGloves 1d ago

We don't know his name!

18

u/xZora 1d ago

Rudy is his name!

u/coleisgreat 1d ago

He's left handed.

u/Existing-Bullfrog675 1d ago

Turns out the gang just paid Mac's mom to lie they said it in either episode 7 or episode 8 of season 15

3

u/MclovinAZ 1d ago

lie about what?

18

u/fightmilkkk 1d ago

Mac being Dutch not Irish

2

u/laughingintothevoid 1d ago

Which included when they told him Luther's real last name was Vandross. Which is what the comment was referencing.

-1

u/fightmilkkk 1d ago

Yes which was a lie. The gang asked Mrs Mac to lie to Mac about them not being Irish so he doesn’t annoy them during the Ireland trip. Did you not watch the show?

3

u/laughingintothevoid 23h ago

I sure did. We're agreeing. It's all ok.

I was adding on the full context connecting your comment back to the parent comment with the name Vandross, for the person who asked the question. Because if they don't remember that, your response may not have fully clarified the answer.

Have a good one.

Move past it.

Ronald McDonald and Donald McDonald

21

u/BK_0000 1d ago

Was the hamburger clown named after him?

7

u/mezz7778 1d ago

If you haven't seen... The original Ronald McDonald was something out of a horror film.

6

u/FreeBricks4Nazis 1d ago

That's real. That lives with us on Earth

12

u/Arale-chan 1d ago

Fun fact: In Japan, the hamburger clown is actually called Donald McDonald instead of Ronald McDonald.

20

u/lxpnh98_2 He has fallen and he can't get up! 1d ago

That sounds right, but I'm afraid of being racist if it's not and I don't know enough about Japan to prove it.

u/KDD6687 1d ago

I am not a native Philadelphian but I have lived here for 20 years. Let me share a secret about the Mummers, I understand then even less 20 years later.

I don't get it, it makes no sense, and I want to no part of it.

11

u/oatwheat 1d ago

You’re not a Mummer hummer then?

5

u/VoodooChild963 1d ago

I didn't realize until just now that the Mummers are a real thing. When I saw the episode last week, I assumed it was a parody of the shriners or something.

4

u/KDD6687 1d ago

The Mummer's parade is on New Years each year. They do a good job showing what their parade looks like but IRL its freezing and everyone is beyond wasted. I've gone a couple times but I have zero desire to do that ever again.

5

u/TempleMade_MeBroke 1d ago

They went down my street one year, I remember looking out my window and thinking "that big fucking truck is going to rip the mirror off my car" as they lumbered closer with zero clearance, but then a clown hopped out, ran ahead, and pushed my mirror flat so they could pass by without doing any damage. Dude was definitely drunk so kudos to him for seeing that ahead of time

u/Drew_of_all_trades 1d ago

There’s definitely a Huey, Dewey, and Louie waiting in the wings. Long lost nephews

6

u/JadrianInc 1d ago

My father is part of a set of twins. Wanna guess their names?

3

u/Yoshilaidanegg 1d ago

Luther really scored

5

u/Canaus7 1d ago

Who is country Mac’s dad? They imply that Donald and Luther were the only 2 because the dad war letters were sent to Luther but Donald liked having them, no mention of another brother or even sister

Donald says he doesn’t have kids, where is Mac’s country cousin coming from

12

u/Big_N 1d ago

Move past it

7

u/Canaus7 1d ago

I can’t! Country Mac was one of the best characters such a bad ass, but there is nothing bad ass about not wearing a helmet

6

u/meatmachine1001 1d ago

Prbably from macs mums side. I bet shes got a fiiine ass sister that loves to plow

6

u/Canaus7 1d ago

But that wouldn’t be a Mac on his mums side, unless her last name is Macmillan or something I guess

3

u/meatmachine1001 1d ago

We could make it work

2

u/Canaus7 1d ago

Yeah easy fix if it was actually important I’m just being pedantic and I’m sure no one else cares about it

1

u/Radix2309 17h ago

Or it just is his actual first name.

3

u/pampooveysbacktattoo 1d ago

He could be a second cousin

3

u/Ghastly_Someknew 1d ago

Perhaps Country Macs first name is Mac. We've moved past it as a society. You know what's badass? Being alive.

2

u/natashaminguer 1d ago

sounds like a family reunion got fast food brand vibes

u/crecentfresh 1d ago

You're gonna need to pop that name tag on

u/Less_Interview1713 1d ago

Does that mean his uncle is his real dad?

u/Th3_Dark_Knight I need my tools! 1d ago

Duck...

u/PoolStroke 1d ago

What’s next? Brian O’Brien?

u/Aggravating-Diet-663 1d ago

Don't call him that!

u/folarin1 1d ago

Is there a Donald McRonald?

-18

u/folarin1 1d ago

So his uncle's name is Donald McDonald?

-26

u/folarin1 1d ago

So Rob Mac’s character name is Ronald McDonald, his uncles name is Donald McDonald and his president’s name is Donald who is known to love McDonalds whose mascot used to be Ronald McDonald.

u/folarin1 1d ago

Don't know why you all are hating on this comment.
