It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

The other thread: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Its mildly entertaining but it always feels really forced to me. the characters are all just virtually interchangeable assholes, none of them have any identity (I chalk this up to poor writing)

Yeah, they all take turns being the asshole, but they're the asshole in different ways. Charlie's the loser asshole; Sweet Dee's the asshole w/ a vague conscience (and overactive libido); the good looking one's the suave asshole; and the bearded guy's the bro-down asshole.

charlie, however, amazes. always.

I've liked both seasons so far, which is why I was extremely happy to find out there's a 3rd season just around the corner. YAY!

I have laughed my ass off at the three episodes of this that I've seen. I need to Netflix this shit.

gonna have to wait until september. the first and second seasons don't come out on DVD until then.

Yeah, looking forward to the third season! I hope the waitress comes back.

okay, so despite my comment about rotting chinese food above, i got a bunch of promo copies of this in the mail. and it can be quite funny-- really like the one about welfare, and the gay bar episode, etc.

here's the thing: i am interviewing Dennis (the suave one) and Dee (the chick, Dennis' sister) tomorrow for a magazine. any questions anybody wants to ask?

i think i mostly just want to talk about drunken hi-jinks.

they are both very nice people. and sometimes that stuff in the mugs is actually real beer, i found out!

Pretty cool beatbox promo for the new season.

ask dee if she wants to go out with me

You can watch a new episode now on myspace:

Man, this season has been awesome so far. I think the recent Mcboyle hostage episode is a new high.

the episode where they try out for the eagles (and devito trips balls on acid) is some kind of wonderful

I just saw the serial killer episode last night and laughed my ass off.

Charlie is probably one of my most favorite TV characters ever. I, too, thought the second season was a little bit of a let-down. Good to hear they've gotten it back on track for the third.

The McBoyles are fantastic. Hey man.

"you're dating a retard."

I couldn't believe that episode actually kept up the "is he or isn't he?" thing for so long

This season has been as awesome as the first two so far, and Charlie is just amazing. I haven't laughed as painfully hard as anything all year than the "Day Man/Night Man" songs from the episode a couple weeks ago.

They might not make sense out of context, but:
Night Man
Day Man

charlie is the best actor on tv

You're a master of karate and friendship for everyone!
I'm amazed at how Charlie's insane screaming ALWAYS makes me laugh. It should've gotten old and annoying by now, but it just gets better.
Great, great show (albeit uneven) and I'm so glad it's managed to last so long. I was sure it wouldn't get a second series, let alone a third, since I've heard so little talk about it.

Yeah, I love how they always find ways for Charlie to scream and Dennis to take off his shirt.

I've had "Dayman" stuck in my head all day at work today. I'll write a line of code, then a voice in my head goes "fighter of the night-man! (a-aa-aaaah)"
It might drive me insane, but it's fun.

I like this show! Season 4 is 4 episodes in already! "The Gang Solve the Gas Crisis" is one of the best of the whole series.

I learned to play "Day Man" on the piano.

Charlie is married to the waitress in real life! Also, there is an episode later this season called "The Nightman Cometh"!

yeah when this show is "on" it's pretty hard to beat, lols-wise. there were more than a few stinkers peppered throughout seasons 2 & 3. much <3 for charlie tho. i want to hug that little guy.

just re-watched the "Gang Gets Invincible" ep. HILARITY.

apparently FX inked them for three more seasons!

This season has been pretty great so far. When Charlie and Sweet Dee are in a scene together, my heart sings.

This might be the greatest scene I've ever witnessed on television:

Love the scene earlier in that episode when Charlie is explaining to Mac his system for sorting the mail.

"Who Pooped the Bed?" is an incredible episode. WOLF HAIR.

I've been a little disappointed with the last few weeks of episodes. The first set of episodes was pretty great, though - it all kind of peaked with "Mac & Charlie Die". I have to admit that scene above in the mailroom was amazing, though.

Tonight was fucking incredible. I didn't actually hear anything they said during the home invasion scene over my own laughter; all I really remember of it was Dennis holding the boombox.

Charlie Kelly is inarguably one of my 5 favorite television characters of all time right behind John Locke and Patrick Star.

Charlie's final song of the Nightman play was one of the most touching things I've ever heard...seriously.

I was so tired I crashed about halfway through the episode last night...and it was the season finale!!

I was laughing so hard at Charlie's awful singing in that last song, I could only make out half the words. I loved how the episode starts off with him asking why for one week, they can't not have some kind of devious plan or not try to screw someone over.

oh man that was fucking amazing. charlie is the greatest protagonist we have ever known.

it wasn't this season's best by any stretch, but still v funny. i was watching it with some folks who weren't familiar withh Day Man/ Night Man, so i think they were a little dissapointed after gettting into it this season.

i also want to say that Mac, who was probably my least favorite character in the first couple of seasons, has landed just under Charlie as the best imo.

devito looked like the penguin

i loved when the gladys told charlie to shhhh

cutty OTM with the penguin

Also Charlie's singing was amazing and weird at the same time. And that yellow suit holy crap that was amazing. He was like Willy Wonka on whippets.

http://www.hulu.com/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia

The bit with Charlie at the end is probably my favorite moment in this whole series. For a split second the waitress is wide-eyed and astonished and Charlie has the world in the palm of his hand. Surreal and wonderful.

Green Man and the dumpster episodes are numbers two and three.

^^^ Green Man OTM! I think this may be my favorite IASIP scene thusfar (shit transfer, but whatevs):

just found out that mac and dee are married IRL, as are charlie and the waitress

why aren't these dudes in a ton of movies? i want charlie day to be in everything

huh mac was in Lost

What? When?

"Lost" .... Aldo (1 episode, 2007)
- Not in Portland (2007) TV episode .... Aldo

S03E07, apparently. I wonder why I wouldn't have recognized him.

wow... i knew about Charlie & the waitress; Mac & Dee is news.

jaymc says he was an "Other goon," presumably a very small part

for some reason, I find it strangely comforting to know that Charlie is married to The Waitress.

is this show still on, and should i watch it?

some of the episodes are really really funny. i just bought the season 1/2 set at target for $13 and i've been watching it ... the early episodes are a little shaky, but it eventually gets kind of brilliant

i think it's still on but i don't have cable so i'm not sure

In between seasons right now, I think they're signed on for at least one or two more.

Yes, pls watch. Although Hulu cut it down to 5 episodes from the whole series at a time, vs. having most seasons up for viewing at any time (they've done this with a lot of shows). Most of them are on DVD, though, and it's worth a Netflix rental starting from the first episodes.

Dennis was in Crank, playing the nervous doctor before Jason Statham electrocuted himself on purpose.

Some episodes are shaky, but when this show is good it is fucking awesome.

he was also in 'the strangers'

i saw a couple episodes last year and remember liking it, although i was convinced that charlie (i think) was the same dude as the stoner kid from undeclared.

that dude is this dude: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0789171/

On St Patrick's Day there was a dude wearing a Green Man suit! My friend took my picture with him! She needs to send it to me already.

This show is "pause the show because I'm laughing too hard to hear anything" good.

Day Man (ah ahh ahhhhhh)
Fighter of the Night Man (ah ahh ahhhhhh)
Champion of the sun (ah ahh ahhhhhh)
You're a master of karate and friendship for everyone

I'm going to see the cast do 'The Nightman Cometh" live in Seattle next month...should be amazing.

ROCK FLAG AND EAGLE!!!

new season starts tonight! 'the gang exploits the mortgage crisis'!!!!!!

can't wait!

Except for House and Mad Men, every show I love watching comes on Thursday nights now. My dvr can't handle it all!

Was excited about the comedy tv I watched tonight, then I remember that Sunny makes everything else weaksauce by comparison.

Nothing tops sweet
Dee and Fred Savage.

fucking sweet dee - offer to 'double down' on the baby HA. 'i don't know if i want 10 people inside me'.

busting the door down from the inside

Mac and Dennis arguing as a gay couple about power bottoms and power tops, OMG!

the reprise of the top/bottom discussion was the highlight of the episode!

Mac chucking that beer bottle at the bike guy was the highlight of the series.

This show is all about the details. Dee comes back with a new car, and it's a coral-colored Ford Aspire.

Also, I love that they never even made it outside metro Philadelphia on their trip to the Grand Canyon...and it took at least 24 hours.

callback to "Mac and Charlie Die" was also great

The whole episode was completely predctable and absolutely fantastic.

yeah i think i liked the road trip ep even better than the opener.

The whole episode was completely predctable and absolutely fantastic.

Totally!

Mac: I'm just going to scare him with this beer bottle.
Charlie: Man, I did NOT see that coming.

Did anyone else see one of the live shows? It was great, luckily they added a few new songs so it wasn't just a complete rehash of the episode. They also burned about 30 min by playing an entire episode before the show, the sound was crap and everyone was laughing so I think I missed about every other line.

had to watch it a second time to catch charlie's line about 'I EAT LOTS OF STICKERS'.

Laughed so hard at the two new ones. I've never watched the show while it's been on, but I'm completely on board for this season. All of the gypsy - Italian market stuff was ridiculously funny.

o man not sure how i missed this for so long but i just burned through the entire run in a few days and i am TOTALLY ON BOARD omg

Yeah, I'd heard friends mention this show but didn't get into it until a couple of weeks ago. Now I've marathoned through seasons 1-4 and NEED MORE.

keep thinkin abt day man

Wish I had FX and didn't have to wait for this to show up online :(

tonight was the first ep of s5 i had to miss :(

Season so far is solid and all, but I'm still waiting for a killer ep like the who pooped the bed one or nightman cometh.

Omg. Gail the Snail is Chloe from 24! All uglied up!

Mary Lynn Rajskub has a long comedy history, y'know.

I think I did but forgot. The scene where Frank turns into a burping geyser of beer btw: I LOLd so hard.

salting was phenomenal

no human should ever have to salt another human

OMG I love Gail the Snail as the new Rickety Cricket

Mary Lynn Rajskub as Dee/Dennis' cousin is a great bit of casting.

Glad to see Artemis back next week, she was awesome last year.

<3 rajskub - punch drunk love mr show etc

thinkin abt doin a supporting characters poll since obv thered be no point in polling the main players

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Supporting Characters Poll

Is this the most quotable show ever? This weekend, we all kept asking, in the context of the group, who we thought we were. "The Sheriff of Patty's." Also, "We're crabmen now! We live off the fat of the sea!" And, "Come get free money, Shanties!" and "No one likes to have to salt another human being. It's a horrible, horrible thing to do." It might've helped I was in Philly over the weekend.

i honestly feel there aren't enough shows that capture Philly the way this show does

Despite the fact they are all degenerates, the show really makes me want to move back home to Philly.

finally watched this for the first time. i loled.

Kaitlin Olson is on Adam Carolla's podcast today.

http://www.adamcarolla.com/ACPBlog/2009/10/11/adam-and-kaitlin-olson/

YES! The waitress is getting married!

What's your favorite food?
Milk-Steak
What's your favorite hobby?
Magnets

Charlie cracking me up tonight. LOL

is this the first time in the show where the gang actually hurt someone who was not a mostly innocent bystander in the end?

There could be something delicious that wasps *do* eat and I want at it.

Bah, do make.

I love every second of this show that involves insight into Charlie's mind

He's a full-on-rapist.

o man i lold so hard at the match.com profile creation and restaurant scenes

im a full on rapist - everyone children old people africans

kind of love that Joy Osmanski - glad to see she's still getting work after The Loop

This totally won me over this season.

What are your turn offs?
OTHER PEOPLES NEEDS

^had me just rolling

Other people's KNEES!!

Knees? Really? I thought it was needs?

i like watching office/park rec and then this so that it's a LAUGH CRESCENDO

knees is still funny, but somehow less funny to me. maybe i empathize less.

haha i thought the same thing. then he said "cover 'em up if you're walking outside!"

charlie is def not sophisticated enough to understand that theres such a thing as other peoples needs

I'll have your milksteak, boiled over-hard, and some of your finest jellybeans, raw.

I thought it was other people's needs, too.

Phillies episode was A++

I loved all the bickering between Sweet Dee + Mac over who she should kiss (and then Mac's Stan-crush on Utley LOL).

I kept thinking to myself "are they saying Frenetic? Because it sounds like Frenetic," so I'm glad my hearing isn't going.

I have been trying to get my mom hooked on this show. She laughs and feigns mock-horror at some scenes, and keeps making comments like "I think that some people are a lot like this!"

And sometimes I think, "I think so too, mom, and that is why I am crashing at your place for a couple months. Because those some people could be me."

i dont want to be paraphrased i choose my words v carefully

lol thinking the court reporter was just getting the gist of it

I saw someone in the audience at the last Phillies game against the Dodgers dressed in the green unitard suit and wearing a Phillies hat. Pretty sure this game was before the episode aired - viral marketing? Someone in Philly is just cooler than the rest of us and saw the ep before it aired? Pretty awesome either way.

Green Man has been around for a few seasons.

Maybe it was Charlie Day.

rad ep

just watched last weeks wrestling episode. One of the best of the season for sure. How many taboos does this show fuck with?

rowdy roddy piper did a shockingly good mickey rourke in the wrestler impression

omg i didn't even realize that's who that was! He should've had the acting career of Schwarzenegger...or at least Ventura.

"who has a bucket full of chestnuts?!?!"

looking at his imdb page he seems to have found a niche in low budget horror :/

why the :/
its probably a lot of fun to do

and fun is the point

definitely better than wrestling at his age, that's for sure! i mean, sure he'll never do anything as fantastic as They Live again, but such is life

dudes he was the star of THEY LIVE and he deserves better

anyway this weeks ep was super hilarious - staring off w/charlies kitten mittons commercial - mac and dennis gay brainstorming - staking out the lawyer from his own car looool

im wondering if the lawyer might get sucked into their orbit and go totally mad just like rickety cricket

considering a cat, purely for kitten mittons lols

love the lawyer!

luv when the encounter normal people and ploys like eating the contract dont work

love when it doesn't occur to someone that it won't work and they keep eating the contract til someone else tells them to stop!! i there was a good 5-second gap between when it occurs to the viewer 'oh he should stop eating paper now' and when they actually said it which just enhances the lol imo.

kitten mittens commercial maybe the hardest i've ever laughed at 90 seconds of television

is your cat one-legged, fat skinny, or an inbetween? one SIZE fits all!

excuse me, kitten mittons

one SIZE fits all has kept me from killing people today

http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/18912/Share/charlie_and_the_cat.gifhttp://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/18912/Share/charlie_and_the_cat.gifhttp://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/18912/Share/charlie_and_the_cat.gif

Totally did not realize that was Piper in the wrestling episode. I love the guys yelling at each other after the birds of war song - "The second verse was unnecessary! "No, the second verse is needed to clarify who we are!" (ie, not just eagles, but eagle-men).

The lawyer is a good addition but I feel they've been leaning hard on the charlie-as-lawyer bit lately. I'd like to see more episodes with Gail and/or Artemis, but this season has been great so far.

That video for the kitten mittons was just incredible. I had stopped watching It's always sunny for a while and came back to it recently, watched all of season 4 and this season. I agree that the lawyer is quite a nice addition. Speaking of which, what happened to the McPoyle brothers (and sister, and family as a whole)? They haven't come on for quite a while.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xQSk-_zh-0

ummm NSFW

COMEDY!!

http://dicktowel.com/images/thumbs_up.jpg

i think i am in love with the coffee shop girl.

this show definitely gets better and better. omg when DeVito came in waving the gun w/ms. big tits

i really liked charlie's obsession with "bird law" earlier this season.

also lolz why did they give one of those Flavor of Love bimbos a job

or was it Rock of Love I don't even care anymore

It definitely makes sense, but only last week while watching live did I blatantly realize that almost every commercial during Sunny was for beer, movies, and video games.

And that fucking horrible looking show "The League"

Let us also never forget that fucking horrible looking show "Testees"

two guns, six boobs, we're all on the same team!

every once and a while, while watching TV, I start laughing so hard that I have trouble breathing and almost pass out. It hadn't happened in ages, it used to happen in Arrested Development. Maybe once with 30 Rock.

This most recent episode of Sunny, which wasn't as good as the best ones of this season, had one that totally killed me. Frank using the knife on his toes and suddenly exclaiming....

Botched Toe, oh I botched it, that's a botched toe.

Or whatever variation. I'm giggling just thinking about it.

cat in the wall was super lol - love how they treat absurd scenarios as mundane - like dennis is trying to get dee to watch predator and shes all shh my cats in the wall as if its a reasonable thing

totally, every situation is something to be totally expecting. Like Charlie saying "oh a cat in the wall situation, here's what you do..."

And this classic exchange I saw coming a mile away...(paraphrased from memory of course)

Charlie: Here's what you do, you put another cat in the wall with string tied to it
Dee: Where are you gonna get another cat?
Charlie: That's no problem, there's like 10 following me. They've been following me around.

kitten mittons slaaaaaaaaaayed

o man not sure how i missed this for so long but i just burned through the entire run in a few days and i am TOTALLY ON BOARD omg

― ice cr?m, Wednesday, October 7, 2009 9:58 PM (1 month ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

also, this. have totally slept on this

"cat in the wall? now you're speaking my language"

this season has also been a lot about frank being totally disgusting, eating trash etc which is always very funny

let us also not forget the time when frank tried to use garbage as a bandage

i think it's important to mention why like 10 cats followed Charlie to Dee's house: possibly because he and Frank EAT CAT FOOD (first broached in season 2 iirc) lol!!

so many excellent running jokes

I just love how EXCITED Charlie gets about green man

lol he still think that he can convince them green man is awesome by being all COME ON GREEN MAN!!! even though theyve been shitting on the concept since high school

the fact that it is even a ~concept that one COULD get excited about is pretty hilarious to me

tbh id be pretty excited to dress up in that suit

Anyone seen the Christmas special? I thought it was pretty funny; disturbing in parts, but the bit where Charlie interrogates the Santa Claus at the mall and starts biting his neck was classic.

well obv wearing the suit would be dope as heck, but the SITUATION of the SUIT and WHAT IT MEANS is funny to me

I saw the xmas special and was mostly bemused by why it was out now, but it is very funny. The Mac and Charlie childhood bits were great.

CHEETOS FINGERS!!!!!!!!!

haaa great ep clowin the game

best part? A carney stabbing dee with his keys.

Mantis Toboggan, MD

Oh man. It happened with Friends, and Scrubs, and Grey's Anatomy, and any number of other popular TV shows. I finally caught an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia tonight and ugh. Don't see the appeal. Maybe it was just a weak episode. It involved one jackass trying to teach three other jackasses the perfect way to score and dump chicks.

Yeah. Right.

Holy shit, IASIP is nothing like those other shows you mentioned.

This is like the biggest challops I've ever seen on ILX (and that's saying a lot!)

It's weird, a couple years ago I had a bunch of people tell me how great this show is and I just couldn't get into it at all. My wife started watching this on Hulu and it's slowly sucked me in, like I find myself laughing about something the next day.

It wasn't the best episode, to be fair.

I mean, especially as a first episode.

dude u guys come on sock spotting 101

Why would someone sock puppet IASIP thread???? :'(

the world just aint right these days

Chill, peeps. I'm no one's sock puppet. I watched an ep of the show because I'd heard that it was really good, and I found myself underwhelmed. These things happen. I'll give it another shot if I ever happen to find it again.

For what it's worth, I'm a fan of Fringe, Supernatural, House (barely, at this point), and much of the Science and Discovery channels. Just by way of comparison.

Oh... and I think 30 Rock is pretty funny, but I never really got Seinfeld.

Hey Jude, you should watch another episode or two, this show is hilarious. I'll suggest you start with the Gang Solves the Gas Crisis.

You know what's weird and has gone unmentioned in this thread? That FRED SAVAGE has directed the most episodes. Who knew?

and party down - kevin arnold on fire!

rickety cricket has directed a bunch of episodes too

I dislike the Boyle family, and like Artemis and shenanigans involving Mac and Charlie's moms, so this season has been good to me so far, as far as guest characters go.

even just reading these words on ilx has me cracking the fuck up

i'd never heard of this show and thought this was some balkanised philadelphia thread but then i finally read it and now i've ordered it off amazon because i trust you about jokes, ilx.

You will not regret.

If there a sort of regret that you can pine for, it may be that type.

there IS

I would almost suggest skipping the pre-devito years altogether, even though there are some funny episodes.

It's different in tone, and it actually took a while for them to sync well with him when he first showed up in season two. I was about to say there were a couple must-see episodes in the first season, but after reading the synopsis list, I think ALL of the first season is worth watching and you're just wrong.

i'll start at the beginning and if i'm a bit disappointed i'll stick with it until devito.

estela i think you will love this.

i started by randomly dropping in on the current season and wow. i have been thinking about watching back seasons.

I've also randomly started to watch the current season and will have to watch the whole thing starting at the beginning. Sadly Hulu only has the latest season and a few from 2 and 3 for some reason?

Basically even if I don't think an episode is funny right away I find myself thinking about it and losing my shit thinking about it over the following week.

I think each season has been pretty consistently good/great. There was a little transition time in getting Devito to fit in during S2, but he seems so perfect for the role right now. Comedy Central is going to run the old episodes in syndication next year, so that would probably be the easiest way to catch up if you don't do torrenting and such.

Man, am I out of it or what? I thought this was a new show this fall. LOL

Duh.

I like how Devito is kind of relishing his role as a sleazeball. Like ehrn he says, "Let me ROAST this BONE" or "She'll know I have a MONSTER DAHHHNG"

More food has come back out of DeVito's mouth this season.

he is such a disgusting savage and it works so well

i was really not sure abt devito at first but hes pretty fn rad now

he is truly repulsive, it's great

popping out the couch in the xmas special omg

Was kind of on the fence about him until the goddamn TRASHMAN:
http://stashbox.org/679149/trashman.gif

no new ep this week. season can't be over already?

according to wiki, 2 more + the christmas special and that's it

the Christmas special has already been released on DVD, it's not going to be aired.

btw I have seen the finale and it is very funny: picture Frank trying to wear skinny jeans.

They need less Frank being gross more Charlie being crazy.

The Frank being disgusting drunk and trying to sleep with his ex-wife's sister episode... I think DD might have been actually drunk.

wine in a coke can!

They need more Frank being gross AND Charlie being crazy.

"Lost" .... Aldo (1 episode, 2007)
- Not in Portland (2007) TV episode .... Aldo

― congratulations (n/a), Monday, April 13, 2009 2:03 PM

lol just saw this while rewatching old lost! he was guarding the place where they were clockwork oranging carl (karl?).

McElhenney said that 50 weeks of each year are consumed by acting, producing, and writing for the show, but he did find time to appear in the third season of the television show Lost as Aldo in the seventh episode, "Not in Portland". He is shown reading Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time 22 minutes, 40 seconds into the episode. This was as a result of McElhenney meeting Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof. Lindelof is a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and offered to give Rob a small role in an episode. Though Aldo is thought to be deceased, Damon Lindelof revealed that Aldo isn't dead (Lindelof also joked that "No one dies on that fucking show") and may actually appear in a new Lost episode.

Damn, last night's episode, when Charlie and Mac are writing their movie, had me in stitches. Funniest show of the decade I say.

devito's so great. In spite of fighting to make sure i don't be one of those guys who quotes tv shows a lot, but I find myself saying "ENJOY. Your HUMAN. MEAT!" all the time.

sausage pocket :)

movie ep slayed

so many twists

i let my pocket do all the work

OMG, Dennis raging after getting punked by the frat brothers was biggest LOLs of the season for me. "IDIOTS! IDIOTS! IDIOTTTTTTS!"

this is killing me.

thank you ilx.

right?

when is it coming back

the gang puts on a musical or w/e has 2 b the highpoint of this show right? mb not as gloriously h8ful and weird as some other moments but just consistent lolz from every character all episode gleeful selfish insanity perfectly harnessed imo

kinda want 2 do an episodes poll tho

xp: it runs during the fall season, so next September presumably

yeah musical show probably was where i went from randomly enjoying this to understanding the sheer brilliance of it

i hate how things are all half season shows and it's cool it's just the 'fall season' now. yes, fall is a season, but a tv season should be sept-may like school or whatever. i feel cheated.

totally--at least the last one was awesome, the Gang Reignites the Rivalry or whatever? maybe the best one yet

yah i think i only saw like 6 episodes from s05 thats sum british garbage

oh fwiw i think the show only got really good when the writers realized how desperate and unhappy and terrible dee is. her increasingly manic self-loathing is starting 2 rival charlie for lolz imo

surrogate-mom sweet dee ep is legendary

just saw the xmas special. Pretty messed up. Not the funniest one ever, but definitely funny and definitely messed up! The bonus features have this "sing along" bit that I might've skipped but figured should see what it is...it was really, really strange. LIke an old Butthole Surfer's video or something.

omg when charlie bites santa in the mall, i just totally lost it, and id seen it before

DID U FUCK MY MOM SANTA DID U FUCK MY MOM SANTA DID U FUCK MY MOM SANTA DID U FUCK MY MOM SANTA

Was the one today a two parter? Just ended super quick.

new episode not that funny unfortunately.
And why do i feel the need to get breakfast at Subway and drink a Coors Light?

Tranny seemed way more buffed than last time. Like it was the role of a life time. Didn't notice the Coors at all.

in paddy's everybody had their bottle label to the camera and the napkin holders were big n blazin

the thing near the end with Dee holding the beer bottles was a little obvious

this episode was ok, but i'm more interested that they're trying a multi-episode storyline again

also not feeling dead tooth chick at all in any way

Hey did they really sell your dick to China? ...I can tell from the way you're staring that the answer is no.

The best/worst part is whenever you find yourself identifying with the characters. Like haha Dennis doesn't have feelings - wait, am I sure that I have feelings?

damnn didnt realize it started agian, super stoked

I liked what they were trying to do with all the social commentary re: marriage, but it just wasn't that funny. However, Dee's gagging is one of the more consistently funny bits on the show, bringing me back to the episode where she does stand-up comedy. So good.

It was all the b-plot material that made this episode funny.

omfg at the implication!

Yeah, it's getting better quick
tasty treats, wacky inflatable arm waving dee, delicious little oysters, devito trashing the inside of the boat and of course

how do i watch this on the intertubes without cable

torrents

Dee's dance duet on the boat at night with the Steve Winwood in the background (?) was an oddly lyrical moment.

Has anyone figured out stealing tv on iPods yet? I can't get online on my pc atm and the lack of proper Internet is killing me.

m0n0\/@ had it up like 3 hours after broadcast last night...

otm, also the sinking shot - sik ep! best of the season so far no doubt

feel like stuff like that scene occasionally pop up revealing what a deep level these doods are operating at

oh, that duster

once again great ep. loved the duster, loved the musical montage of mac learning how to skate. damn, i am so glad this show is back on.

'gibronis, cool word'

the Rock spells it jabroni

I know because I have read the Rock's autobiography fyi

Damn they keep killin it! Sunny is classic!!!

Man the "who got Dee pregnant?" episode was pretty amazing.

the ostrich!

yep, best of the season.

^^^^^ real

best episode since the D.E.N.N.I.S. system

also str8 up artemis was ~platinum~ ite but what put it over the top was the mcpoyles verz of events

loved that the Charlie makeout session had three different levels of reality!

also the fake bird nose that foreshadows the ostrich cameo

hahaha yah which of them had the strange big bird feathers all over dee's dress in their flashback

the reveal that the girl wasnt the waitress or like, even looked particularly much like her was so lol & unexpected

and the slow degeneration of Dee's costume from angel to dopeybird
Rashomon phillystyle

i like to believe that mac actually does hear everything dee says as WAK WAK WAK

the last version of the not-Waitress's boyfriend had a familiar voice?

"Tell people we pushed you!"

a show with charlie day and dave foley set in a school with charlie continually trying to eat inedible objects and foley having to stop him would be the best show on television
"Dee told me I could make this whole school slippery"
also BUTT BUTT. BUTT BUTT BUTT

otm

charlie isn't in the game anymore, dee's still pregnant - wtf life is upside down

it still feels really weird when they end episodes with consequences that will go into the next episode

love charlie + dave foley tho! and it's always great to see Odo

about to start in on the dvds with my gf, should we start at the beginning?

I like the first season but it feels like they didn't quite know what they were doing yet.

plus no devito. but otoh, charlie gets molested and charlie has cancer are both A+ hof sunny eps.

from the start is fine, but not necessary

the two eps i mentioned will give you the proper openings to the waitress and mcpoyles, i think cricket is introduced later.

OMG. 10 seconds into this and already ROFL.

I like the first season but it feels like they didn't quite know what they were doing yet.

part of the fun, imo.

Yeah, watch it from the start.

wait when was Dave Foley on this show? I appear to have missed somethign

last ep. he was the principal.

hmmm last episode I saw was Dee Gets Pregnant, guess I'm behind

He was way underutilized. Sudekis kicked ass though.

DeVito has some amazing line delivery, especially when he yells out "IF ANYONE ASKED, WE PUSHED YOU OUT OF A MOVING CAR!"

He was way underutilized. Sudekis kicked ass though.

agreed on both points, what if foley is reoccurring tho, think abt it

its pretty funny how sudekis cant be in the gang cause hes basically to together for them

He doesn't feel the need to go with their creepy groupthink because he has a life.

BUTT DANCE

^^^this

really wish they'd stayed in the school longer but glad we got as much of that as we did
really revealing how boring the gang is without d and charlie

You’re supposed to be a NOBLE people

CLASSIQUE EP! o how i lold

Mac's australian accent

everybody in excellent form, yah

Dennis does a good Danny Glover

this was next level, and even on a night of terrific 30 rock/community - this was sooooo the best thing i watched of my friday morning downloads.

I love Charlie. Spa-?

denim chicken!
bird w/ teeth!
wormhat!

Tom Sizemore o_0

take me into a room and split me like a coconut

I woulda let you make me into a mailbox..

really liked dennis explaining his philosophy of saying yes to charlie on their walk

good ep, but I think it was a shame we didn't get to hear the speech Frank had planned.

Axel Lee Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!##

The best episode EVER

Duncan and Cutty! Lots of drugs! Shame sex! Three men and a baby! Weekend at Bernies-ing a dude!

Gotta teach him how to beat nerds.

Oh man, Charlie! Sperm eats the egg, gets strong and becomes a baby.

need a gif of sperm eats egg, gets strong.

OMG Cleo King!!

Oh and, rewind moment ... :( when the soldier started to cry when he found out who the father was.

Loved finding out that Dee recycled the insults. Also, cheers to the Sunny crew for completely ignoring the Christmas theme embraced by literally every other show aired that night.

cuttys coke fueled rant re jean shorts my god

the sperm eating eggs thing KILLED me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BITCHES

way behidn on this show, but just got the first 3 seasons on DVD. the "Invincible" episode where they all tried out for the Eagles had me laughing my hairy nuts off. <3 this show.

Christmas episode was great, especially the Mac and Charlie bits. It also did flashbacks to childhood better than most shows.

is the invincible episode the one where charlie gets on acid as green man and they shoot the mcpoyle cousin and sweet dee breaks her foot as a dude? <3

Yes that be the one :)

OK, maybe I'm wrong and all, but wasn't that xmas ep just a rerun from a previous season? Or is there some mysterious xmas ep I'm not aware of, in which case good for me.

I think it was released on DVD but not shown on TV until this year.

Oh OK that explains it then.

No new ep for me then.

Oh, sweet! I forgot that there was that straight-to-dvd holiday special and had been meaning to go back and watch it, but that's cool that they just decided to air it this year.

"Who pooped the bed?" Episode is the funniest thing I've ever fucking seen

catching reruns on a bunch of stuff I missed the first time around - I think the show really started to pick up when DeVito came on, took awhile for the characters to kinda establish themselves

Yea, Dee had some semblance of morals in the early ones and they actually tried to run bar, was kinda amusing.

Also Charlie not high pitched whining as much...

Tried to watch this show several weeks now...could not get past the high pitched nasally guy. Durrf

The waitress has a drunk line in Who Pooped The Bed that slays me, if only I could remember it

My flatmate got me into this recently, I've ploughed through the first three seasons in about a month. Can't remember the last time I genuinely laughed so much at a TV show. It's at the point when any cast member (particularly Charlie) can crack me up with a facial expression.

i need to get season 5 on dvd. just watched "NIghtman Cometh" episode and was crying tears of laughter, it was such gold.

Charlie was pretty funny in Going the Distance. same schtick

Favourite hobby: Magnets
Likes: Ghouls
Dislikes: People's knees

These dvds have pretty much taken over my Sundays. I'm going backwards - first five, then season four. Probably season three next weekend.

Like most, I'm a sucker for Charlie. It's as close to a guarantee of quality anytime he opens his mouth, really.

"people's knees"

"i'll have the milksteak"

and your finest jellybeans!

charlie dreams of the denim chicken, worm hat & bird w/ teeth.

Cat food, beer, and glue.

Sperm eats the egg, gets strong and becomes a baby.

LETHAL WEAPON 5

got thru all of this over a few months a while back. Serpico ep might be my personal fave.

ghouls

a full on rapist

oh god, the full on rapist one kills me every time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ1lc6KASWg&feature=related

"because of the implication"

Oh god, so rapey! In a Dennis way.

omg i had forgotten about "the implication". this show can't come back quick enough.

Charlie among the jockeys in "The Gang Gets Whacked" is as priceless as comedy gets.

"Hell, I'm still surprised you guys can talk!"

"because of the implication"

"I wanna do business with Mr. Bovine Joni, himself."

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/06/rob_mcelhenney_weight_gain.html

lol wtf

thats p nutz

<3 these guys for their whole approach

but i mean

yeah 50 pounds is a thing

i'm guessing that marriage is not going super well

BUT IT'S FUNNY

!!!!Jon Polito as Frank's brother!!!!

Willing to believe that Mr. Day made that shit up. Also willing to believe that it is 100% true.

kings of leon? ;_;

if you told me in advance that a Sinbad and Rob Thomas cameo role would be amazing, i'd never have believed you, so I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt

t/s: gaining 50 pounds or hanging out with kings of leon

exercising out the former might at least be cathartic in a way that exorcising the latter...wouldn't

I would gain 60 pounds if it would get me out of said situation

http://oi54.tinypic.com/xqfh1x.jpg

Also wld like tips on how to gain 50 lbs, that might put me at a healthy weight

Sedentary lifestyle
Beer
Cheese

two things about that pic:
1) was their kid just at a firing range?
B) Michael Stipe!

considering the kegs in the background, I'd vote for a concert of some sort. Or just a loud party.

Puffy Mac rather than Fat Mac, but that doesn't look like 50 pounds either.

he looks preggo!

dude was pretty slim before

Nah, he needed to work on his core. He was all bi's and tri's.

http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2011/6/24/11/rob-mcelhenney-mac-from-its-always-sunny-got-fat-25865-1308930892-19.jpg

pretty sure that's not michael stipe in the background of that pic. looks more like JW

Give that man an Emmy.

Aww Mac+50lbs looks so friendly and huggable, hope there is a "Mac is a mall Santa" episode

I hope they're on set in that pic, otherwise I'm a bit disturbed that Charlie wears the same clothes on-screen as off-screen

looking forward to the fat jokes this season

Charlie wears mostly normal person clothes! Well, the t-shirts are a little threadbare and ridiculous so I wouldn't expect that jacket on the show.

I was referring specifically to that jacket actually

I want Charlie's black horse shirt!

Also, been re-watching this show recently. It really gets better and better. I think season 6 may be my favorite of all.

I missed the Christmas special until it was actually aired on tv the next year AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY

Frank crawling out of the couch was transcendent

he's always hungry in philadelphia

Frank crawling out of the couch was transcendent

YES, incredible

have been meme-ing this and variants irl tho

"this pizza's good"
"YOU'RE the one that's good"

milksteak

still the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV =

Dee's gagging while doing stand-up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuGDJcq1VYE

shit I ruined it if you hadn't seen it.

It's so realistically awkwardly bad and horrible... and hilarious

i just d/led season 6 and am finishing up 5 so I'll be across it soon.

i almost think this show thrives on its awkwardness. kinda funny how much closer to straightforward the pre-Devito episodes were.

Almost all my favorite scenes in this show are duets between Dee and Charlie.

it's kinda funny how quickly they abandoned the 'redeeming qualities' they gave Dee in the first few episodes...like where she actually gave a shit about Artemis being depressed, and stuff.

dee is the saddest character of all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCcmsuK3hjk

^^ this episode has the best charlie/dee stuff

I feel like they've done a good job of portraying that. I hate when shows try to act like a character is miserable or pathetic and never really tell us why.

Charlie hitting "Crazy Paddy" in the head with a volleyball is the hardest I've laughed at any sitcom in years.

Dee's gagging while doing stand-up

Jesus yes, it kills me every time.

OMG at the Rivalry episode.....

season 7 promo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqG0mTPXNbk

/Dee's gagging while doing stand-up/

Jesus yes, it kills me every time.

oh yeah this bit slays, it's so awful

Will this be the season Mac's repressed sexuality finally breaks through?

his love of deep fried chocolate goes too far, you mean?

there more to life than piles of food

Charlie and Glenn are on WTF this week, I R EXCITED

show is back on Thursday fyi

really? YAY.

yep, Louie and Wilfred are over so now it's Sunny and Archer (though I believe Archer is a very brief run for some reason)

what is Wilfred?

/tuomas

elijah wood + dog adaptation of australian show on fx

that sounds... odd.

It has moments!

Also the dog is a huge stoner

Wilfred kinda sucks

From what I saw, Wilfrid always threatened to get good, but never quite got beyond "watchable".

Archer is a 3 episode thing apparently,no idea why.

apparently it's a 3 episode arc but it's still weird that they're just doing a 3 episode mini-season. maybe to promote archer w/ sunny audience?

isn't the archer guy kind of notorious about needing to put out content in his own time?

that's the game of thrones dude iirc

oh shit, does benjamin die in this episode then?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

That was next level even for these guys

I forgot! I'll be a-torrenting tomorrow.

it is called 'frank's pretty woman' where he is going to propose to a hooker, who sweet dee is determined to class up. mac got hilariously fat, charlie pretends to be a millionaire, frank discusses what he finds under the bridge and none of this compares to some of the craziest shit.

the scene in the limo had me in genuine tears of laughter. if it weren't for hearing the funniest fucking thing ever previously tonight, i'd say it was the funniest thing i'd enjoyed since... first seeing 'modern warfare' or something.

Elvin Tibideaux!

you could point a gun at my head, threaten my family, and break my bones one by one, but I'd still laugh uncontrollably at fat mac.

whoa the blood capsules holy shit

yuh holy shit rite

Love the 'Carrie' homage in the limo.

thought a lot of the fat mac stuff was lame but man that limo scene was just nutso

I laughed at the idea of carrying around a garbage bag full of chimichangas

I started watching IASIP over the summer. I've probably seen most of the episodes even though I caught them as FX reruns and out of order - luckily the order was good enough to understand the references to earlier episodes

The new episode seemed a bit over the top with the one thing that Dennis wants

There's a past episode where they get addicted to cocaine, so it's really not that far out there.

Cocaine always seems more casual than crack

I mean, snorting verses smoking

class issues

i liked the call back to the episode where they both got a crack addiction.

I haven't seen either of those episodes

its the episode where dennis and dee go on welfare iirc

oh yeah, that one too

i didn't think this was all that good. fat mac was awesome though.

"We always boil our denim"

made me lol

also tbf finding stuff under a bridge is way less gross than sewer clamming

they must have done that too. there was the episode where they collected so much stuff from bins they had to become homeless.

you know what i really want... crack
i thought you were gonna say like pizza or something
no, crack

ive never done crack
oh youre gonna love it

Damn this was hilarious. I love that one last vomit, it really caught me by surprise.

Plus Hank Williams & Roy Orbison!

pretty woman playing over the dead hooker in the hall was a v nice touch

I was wondering where they were going with the Tiger Woods angle and I was pleasantly surprised when I found out

I don't think the hooker is dead. She'll come back as a "ghost" that haunts Frank

you're a truther on dead hookers too huh?

thought it was an ok episode w/ the charlie and frank stuff being on another level per usual.

Am I alone in finding Charlie and frank's relationship bizarrely touching?

blood-capsule projectile vomit sequence was the hardest I've lold at anything in a LONG time. In fact, I thought everything about this episode was total classic Sunny - and considering how great the end of last season was, it seems the gang has really upped their game (which is pretty rare and great for a sitcom going into its seventh season tbh)

I don't think the hooker is dead. She'll come back as a "ghost" that haunts Frank

― that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Saturday, September 17, 2011 1:00 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

agreed, the hooker is too good to die

btw FRANKS HAIR omg

^ yeah was noticing this

love how it went uncommented, amzing show

did anyone else notice that 'tiger woods'/'don cheadle' was the same actor who played Alvin on The Cosby Show?

Am I alone in finding Charlie and frank's relationship bizarrely touching?

― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap)

no.

I mentioned Elvin/Geoffrey Owens. That character was on the show before pretending to be Donovan McNabb.

dee mentioned that

yeah the cosby thing was neat

Wow that sure was a thing

yeah holy shit this week. totally insane.

Charlie's inability to be disappointed after being ditched by the waitress was charming.

"if that didn't happen where'd I get this?" *holds up piece of glass*

Also sea specimens

Mostly "holy shit" tho

dog in hospital

RUM HAM

this show has seriously embraced the dark side; the dusted killing spree was nuttier than this has ever been

but mostly RUM HAM

awww waitress on e.

i felt so happy for charlie

IS THAT THE OCEAN

under the boardwalk was graphic

I was sure that it was going to be a sunscreen drinking induced hallucination and be sad when Charlie woke up alone, but it was even more sad how it did turn out.

http://i.imgur.com/koLAs.gif

^ frank's ridiculous hair pulled back into a ponytail

oh man, did not even notice that detail

somebody want to make a looping gif of Mac's dance from the very beginning of the ep when they are burning stuff

i finally got around to the christmas episode and holy shit at charlie going all vampire. that is some crazy shit.

that scene made me laugh harder than almost anything

DID U FUCK MY MOM SANTA DID YOU FUCK MY MOM SANTA

yeah it was intense

Just turned on the tv and am watching this new show with Rickety Cricket and (one of the) the lame guy(s) from Entourage.

loved that DeVito in stage makeup was almost The Penguin

^ this

Less O_o than the first two eps, still hilarious

omg baby funeral

fat mac is still hilariously funny

Barnabas!

Lance Reddick!

that was beautiful.

Danny Devito leaving it all on the table for this ep.

no comments on the extended 60s flashbacks...?

I was just happy to see Jon Polito. Big fan ever since Millers Crossing/Barton Fink.

DVR only recorded half of last week's episode and it's not on demand yet. Frustrating.

yeah would be awesome if they keep him on as a supporting character

also lol Wire actors in other things

They've got a pretty reasonable budget this season eh?

and yet it's the weakest season yet :/

hoping that's not a challop.

this season has struck me as a bit gimmicky

jersey shore was alltime classic imo, but yeah, the rest of the season hasn't been quite as strong

yeah the Jersey Shore one's been the best so far

I found the hurricane p hilar

i've liked this season so far. def more than community.

Dennis talking to the weather reporter was classic.

i also lold at charlies preparedness

Best moment of hurricane was Sweet Dee whaling on a desk or something with a baseball bat yelling about computers.

I feel like Fat Mac isn't very funny and is ruining the chemistry of the ensemble.

I really liked Frank's flashback episode, hurricane one was ok but there was some bad sitcom-level shit in it.

i think fat mac is hilarious every time i look at him!

yeah fat mac makes me giggle like when i think of him irl away from watching tv.

i have no problem with fat mac.

season been great although the flashback episode was total crap

ok that was some next level shit. i am in awe.

"Gentlemen... suck my dick."

Yeah this was great.

ok this was like the worst episode since the first pre-devito season (and was only saved by devito's virus video at the end)

I dunno, I lol'd

ya - i thought it was good!
admittedly it was no dart through the hand or anything, but i liked.

would live .gif of the "no flinch", btw...

o man i lod so hard @ this one

just now

had to come post

only thing i remember was dee's hair and the virus video. the rest was like autopilot.

BUG.

http://i.imgur.com/Gdiae.gif

this was perfect. like i genuinely do not know how these guys top themselves every fucking week but yeah they keep on raising the bar. frank et-ing!

for some reason i loved Dennis's line about how everyone is always stomping on the gas a no one is ever manning the breaks! fucking cracked me up.
that and the very last line of the show.

Also just how everyone who gets close to Dee - and then can then smell her dogshit breath - just has to bring it up.

Mac pissing off to get food in the middle of the plot gets funnier everytime. Usually they take tangents in storyline and go down different paths when they all end up fucking each other over. Mac just doesn't care anymore, because he can get more food. Its lol.

i really liked this episode, loved them playing w/ the structure of the show. also basically every line dennis sd

Yeah this was a good one. Also Frank with a whip and his "Whip that little bitch in the face" line.

needs to be sampled in a willow smith remix imo.

lmao dennis and charlies rave

gf and I rewound and watched that like 4 times before moving on

dennis has been on a roll id just like to say

charlie dancing was hypnotizing. especially the bit with dennis' eyeballs o_O

^^^^

I should watch this show more, huh?

was dying at the hard-cut back to reality for the hs reunion dance routine

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v22/dryedmangoez/1211/sunny713-06.jpg

YES.

it was kind of a lame episode but that reveal was worth it

telegraphed Sudeikis cameo also worth it imho

true true

was great that he literally jumped out of the bushes

picture needs a poll imo

CharDee MacDennis was my favorite episode of the past season, so amazing.

Was Mac's real name, and the waitresses name, ever mentioned in any past episode before these?

Mac's definitely wasn't

wait what is the waitress's name? I missed that

i lold so hard at macs name

its sad how no one gives a shit abt the waitress but charlie and she rejects him

remember Frank's name tag?

they haven't given the waitress's name yet - there was some confusion on twitter about some people thinking they had given it but it was actually a reference to someone else iirc?

well it was the fact that Frank stole the nametag for "Nikki Potnick" and she said they didn't have a tag for her

ah ha

https://twitter.com/#!/Glenn_Howerton/status/145044563747274753

oh well

wait so who is Nikki Plotnick in the underage drinking episode

i think someone who went to high school with them whose car they crashed? i don't really remember

waitresses name is hamburglar

sweet dee gets audited one of the darkest things I've seen on TV

just saw the Lawyer on some commercial for something called "Quicken Loans"

Brian Unger? Damn, it's a long fall from the Daily Show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRD195mPOFo

thats p convincing mac tbh

Uncanny. The comments on their official facebook page for this are pretty funny

lol I was just about to post this.

I kind of love HJO as Mac.

That episode did not fill me with hope for this season.

yeah pretty underwhelming in the lol dept

I'll more likely than not watch this show til it's over, but I can't say I've unequivocally loved it since the gang solved the gas crisis.

Bring back Fred Savage IMO.

I laughed at this last night, but today I can't remember what any of the jokes were :(

i miss fat mac

but kinda bummed that this show isnt even as funnie as 30 rock now

It's been really hit or miss for a few years - last season had some of the lowest points but also had Game of Games, Frank Reynolds' Little Beauties, and Sweet Dee Gets Audited. I'm ok with the show settling in as long as it keeps giving us a few gems each season.

Peaked with the musical episode and has been on the wane ever since.

Game of Games and the HS reunion eps were amazing.

Pffft since day one this show has been south park-y, i.e. it can be amazing but also if they do a shitty theme or want to make a point it sucks. This isn't really any different.

Last season had both Frank's Pretty Woman and his brother which was amazing.

the jersey shore episode last year was an all-timer.

^true. they def strike gold 2-3 times per season.

I lold hard at Charlie's speech

You get the feeling some eps are written solely around giving the audience an "Oh no they didn't!" moment.

Jersey Shore vacation is great.

charlie not listening slayed

Not so hot on the super-meta angle

was there a new episode last night and I missed it?

thursdays is when its on man!

sorry Project Runway put me to sleep

the meta didnt really add much for me but it didnt detract either, i enjoyed the ep v much

charlie not listening, the song, the twink/twank/twunk stuff, frank dancing in the guy's office. srsly that was a v entertaining ep

dees racist latina impression

So, I watched the first DeVito-less season, and while amused, wasn't impressed enough to continue. Obviously plenty of folks love this show, but plenty of folks love those so-so DeVito free eps, too. Should I give future seasons a shot, or is it just more or less variations on the same original idea? Does it grow or develop or no, or at least get funnier, or does it just kind of vamp on tasteless scenarios and un-PC jokes a la "Archer?"

obvs everyone itt thinks this the show is the best

Eh i think i'm starting to lose interest in this show. And yeah Dee's racist impression was just dumb and stupid.

I know people here love it, but is it a case of "if you don't like the first season you won't ever like it" or "stick with it, because it gets even better/funnier" ?

it gets more polished and elaborate but its p much all there in the 1st season iirc

i mean you obvs want to keep watching which you obvs should

first season is kinda lame. devito is the best character.

this ep and the last werent too hot. dee's racist latina lady is great tho.

also it is way different from archer type un-pc comedy. archer is 'haha look at what we can get away with saying' while sunny is 'omg these are horrible people listen to what they just said'

anyone who doesnt acknowledge charlies supremacy idk maybe there should be a diff thread for you

See, just within a couple posts, one person says season one is pretty much what you get later, and the next says season one is lame.

ya but the second person also thinks danny devito is better than charlie so theyre not really reliable

idk season 1 just seems like an extended pilot to me.

tbh i have not done exhaustive comparative studies of the many seasons of its always sunny in philadelphia in the finest ilx tv criticism tradition, i just remember watching the first season and then wanting to watch the second season because it was funny

they put together the pilot themselves for like zero dollars iirc which is p rad

the first episode i saw tho i think was the one from a later season where they try to go on trip somewhere but fail to leave the city

this is a show i've never really watched according to "seasons," for some reason, i just kinda pick at random. the only seasons that seem distinct are the first one (no de vito) and whatever the last one was (fat mac)

and of course charlie is the best character, fuiud

at least watch the nightman musical ep before deciding whether to continue

I get that Devito brings a ton of wildness to this that's really necessary to break the core four out of their usual rhythms, but i just don't recognize as human someone who doesn't see Charlie as the top character here I mean come on.

mordy otm

Halloween episode! It was okay.

didnt really grab me but there are always some sweet moments, the reveal abt dees car was p good

This has been a cruisy season so far, but even when cruising Sunny is funnier than any other current US sitcom.

"woch bad stoccer"

really happy to hear Dee dry heave a bit in the beginning.

every Sweet Dee dry heave is a gift
