  • It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of the longest-running and most prestigious sitcoms of all time. In this video, I discuss the impact Sunny has made on the modern television climate, as well as what key elements have fed into its extended run.

      @@aech-em I was only (half) joking. Even that worst to best ranking would be a gargantuan task and I would much rather you do whatever you want or feel like doing. Provided it is well thought-out and engaging as your regular videos are, whatever it is, I will still gladly watch.

    Charlie has a lot more brain damage than what happened in 2x05 and the carbon monoxide. Remember he was shot in the head by Dennis in season 1, ran over by Dennis’ car in season 2 (it is not clear if just his legs were damaged), the paint drinking, bleach+ammonia sniffing since being a kid, the hallucinations in 4x10 are a bit of proof, etc etc etc.
    And Dennis and Frank don’t fall much behind

    Tis show doesnt get enough love and i can hardly find anyone doing much on sunny. Perhaps because its so good it just speaks for itself but more content about it is just...necessary

    British comedy was a constant in my childhood and Always sunny has been there my whole adult life, I was so impressed by the show way back when because there finally was a american sitcom that actually made me laugh and not just chuckle at some rare parts.

    Absolutely loved this. Definitely needed more Sunny vids that actually spark discussion! One thing I found interesting is that you see the blackface use in the series as outdated and indefensible, and I don't think it needs much defending. Seems the point of those episodes have the same spirit as Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder where the joke and commentary is on the people who feel the need to do those things and how absolutely shitty and absurd everyone around them views them for acting as such. I know it was a brief point but interested in hearing a little more! Loved the vid 💪

    I wish the episodes were still on streaming. feels like an overcorrect to remove them entirely. the joke is the characters are so ignorant and bigoted that they either don't see the problem or they think that no actually it's ok when I do it. the audience isn't laughing at the caricature of blackface, we're laughing at the idiocy of the characters to think it's ok to do it.
