It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

The incredibly long-running It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia follows The Gang, a group of egomaniacal degenerates who run an Irish pub in South Philly and include the twins of Glenn Howerton and Kaitlin Olson, Dennis and Dee, Danny DeVito as their father Frank, and Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney as their friends Charlie and Mac. The show was made on a shoestring budget with scripts that average about three insults per minute.

The plots have included attempts to fix the gas problem, record-breaking attempts to fly across the country while intoxicated, and one very amazing coming-out episode when Mac utilizes interpretive dance to notify his imprisoned father that he is homosexual. The Gang doesn't alter.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia brazenly ignites taboo-saturated limits. Underneath the baby sunbathing, cat food eating, and "implicating" are insightful insights into today's hot-button societal topics including abortion, sexual assault, and gun regulation. The crew, who own the worst dive bar in South Philly, consistently comes up with quotable dialogue and conjures the funniest, though obscene, situations ever seen on television. Few shows could get away with so cleverly lampooning major societal quandaries and issues as one in the same season like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
