Starting soon.

Saw a few episodes on Hulu but didn't care for it. Do some people find it funny?

People who like funny things find it funny.

Maybe if yer drunk.

Sunny is a funny fucking show. It's like Seinfeld with all sense of propriety and social grace removed.

It's eerily like my group of friends in college, only with that veneer of palatability required for television.  Also hilarious.

I started watching this on Hulu a week or so ago. The one where the gang starts going to abortion clinic rallies to hit on women was funny.

How in the holy hell is this not on the front page?

In my book, South Park and It's always Sunny are the two funniest shows on television right now. T-minus 30 minutes till lift off.

I've missed too much of it to start watching it now. I don't get any of the in-jokes.

I don't think you really need to watch it to get the in-jokes. They really aren't in-jokes, because the characters are often doing weird things just in that episode. Not really much continuity to it.

These recent few episodes are probably much funnier when you know the character histories, particularly of Rickety Cricket and The Waitress.  Nothing really vital, though.  Artemis, for example, doesn't have much of a history.

I'm still waiting for the glorious return of the McPoyles this season.

 :ye_gods:

Wait wait wait... check his pulse


 :drill:

The beginning of this last episode was amazing as well.

The Liberty Bell episode was so full of win.

You can buy reasonably priced collections of the first 3 seasons of It's Always Sunny in stores now....

It was good to catch up on all the in jokes,  especially season I've only seen portions of Season 3 and most of Season 4.


The episode in Season 2 when Charlie's big plan to get the Waitress backfires and the show ends with a close up of Charlie crying?  Heartwrenching.

"He's fueled by vengeance and reinforced with space-age technology."

"Dayman! Slayer of the Nightman! AAAA AA AAA!"

Goddamn, that season finale was just so fucking funny and sad. Mac's cat eyes and the whole rape scene were just hysterical. I can't stop singing that song.

"Dude, do you have a boner?"

Pretty awesome episode

NECRO!

Starting back up this Thursday. Tivo is set. I'm stoked enough I haven't deleted the reruns my Tivo recorded this weekend, just to watch them all over again. The one where Dee and Dennis get addicted to crack so they can get on welfare is priceless.

bump



:awesome_for_real:

Well, that episode was thoroughly mediocre.  Except for when the gang discovers the family in the house, and Dennis goes into what they won't do to them.

For me the episode was redeemed at the end when they merged and all started showing up at the pool.

Oh come one, good realtor bad realtor was freaking hilarious.

Good god product placement.  I don't know that I've ever seen it that bad.  That said Frank trying to hang himself was hilarious.

Now you're just mushing it.   :ye_gods:

This new season has been much better now that they've gone back to the gang just being their funny selves rather than getting into incredibly wacky situations.  Its kinda sad but both the D.E.N.N.I.S and the M.A.C systems would be incredibly succesful.

Just the phrase "Kitten Mittens" is enough to get me giggling.

I asked for season one of this for Christmas because I couldn't think of anything I hadn't already bought myself that I wanted so I asked for things which I might not like.  I asked for this based only on seeing this thread bumped and one animated gif in some other thread, I had never seen a single episode but received seasons one, two, four and a Christmas special.

Best gamble ever.  This has got to be the funniest show I have ever seen, something about it rips apart my flesh and hits my very soul.  I am ashamed that I have only now learned of how incredible this show is and yet pleased that I have over four seasons to burn through on my holidays and laugh myself stupid.

WILDCARD BITCHES!

I got the season four dvd and the christmas special for christmas, best present this year.  Specially after i saw that the season four dvd has a live performance of the Nightman Cometh as one of the extras, i was so pissed at having missed it.

A live performance of Nightman? Holy shit, I may have to rent that.

Karate and friendship for everyone!

I thought this last season started off kind of weak with the first couple episodes but ended up awesome.

The christmas special was fucking hilarious.  Charlie and Mac's fucked up family christmas traditions specially.  I peed a little during the Santa scene at the mall.

Another win for the TV thread. Picked up the first season and left me wanting more.

It took me awhile to get into this show, several episodes before I "got it" and just let their retardedness wash over me like a lukewarm sponge.

Then in the second season, it took awhile before I was able to be ok with the total disconnect of Frank from what his character used to be.

Good show though.

Frank?  I just remember Frank having a mid-life crisis and deciding be a bum/loser with the guys.  Not even as bad as Cricket going from priest to bum. 

Dee went from mostly sane and well meaning in season one to as much of an insane asshole as the rest.

Frank went from their Father (even though he wasn't) to having absolutely no paternal feelings for either of the late twentysomethings that he'd apparently raised from birth, instead joining them as a sociopathic sex-obsessed "friend" on their own level. With none of the awkwardness you'd imagine would be natural from any of the three of them. Unless they were awkward for about one episode of transition.

That transition was extreme but in the context of the show (and real life) I can buy it.  Hell, if I was suddenly single and my kid was grown, who knows what the fuck I'd end up doing.

I would assume something totally fucking awesome. And by that, I mean, whatever you want.

I swear this show just gets better and better.  I would have thought the premise would have worn thin a couple of seasons ago.

Did i miss something? are there new episodes on?

On Hulu there are.  For all I know I'm a year behind the rest of the world, but they're new to me.

 :awesome_for_real:

I introduced all my friends to this then promptly forgot to watch it, I seem to do this a lot.

That's one hot 66 year old body.

So new season starts Thursday.

Hmm.  

Decent first episode that shakes up the status quo.  The gang seemed less insane and more cunning/selfish than last season, where they would do fucked up things for very little reason.

Edit:

The League has been growing on me.  I'd never seek it out as a standalone, but it's good enough that I stick around to watch it after Sunny.

This is going to sound very weird out of context but i thought the tranny looked better when she still had her penis.  The rest of her i mean, not the penis.

There is no way to word that without sounding  :ye_gods: when out of context. Also, I agree.

You can pick up the first five seasons and the christmas special for 40 bucks and best buy.  This is an incredibly good deal.   linky: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/It%27s+Always+Sunny+in+Philadelphia%3A+Complete+Season+1-5+Plus+A+Very+Sunny+Christmas+%5B13+Discs%5D+-+DVD/1283768.p?id=2144582&skuId=1283768

Holy shit that is a good price. Looks like I am buying myself a Christmas present.

That's a great price.  I paid $30 for the first two seasons and I'm quite happy with it.  I may have to upgrade.

Season 7 just started. It's featuring "fat mac".

Yeah, that was funny, specially when he got Dennis to let go too.  "Dude you wanna hit some of this insulin?" "No, i just want some crack!" the sheer joy Dennis got from the prospect of starting doing crack again was perfect.

They always manage to take things to a new (lower) level...they are amazing. I couldn't stop laughing at Charlie in the limo, even while my poor stomach churned.

Interesting (http://www.thewrap.com/tv/article/fxs-always-sunny-model-low-costs-total-freedom-30990) article about FX's model for shows like Sunny, Archer, Wilfred and Louie.  Basically they are giving complete freedom to the creators at the cost of paying them very low.

Well, it's certainly worked. I watch everyone of those shows except Louie (just couldn't get into it). The creators get paid for doing what they want and if it succeeds, they get paid better money than they would have at a network. 5 guys splitting $40 million over 3 years ($8 million per) is pretty good money. At 13 eps a season, that's over $200k an episode. That first $1 million that the four of them had to split would still go a long way for people whose day job was waiter. That sounds like win for everyone involved in the formula.

Amazing how much better the shows get when the networks stay out of the fucking way. I wish Dan Harmon had a similar deal with NBC- I get the feeling that the network interferes a lot.


Adam Carrolla is a blowhard to the extreme, but he has networks pegged- he never stops bitching about their interference in all parts of the process of getting a show on the air. It was funny hearing him go off about his failed pilot with Pam Adlon when she was on his podcast; she just laughed and laughed and agreed with everything. She gets to see the FX process on it with Louie, so it was probably doubly amusing/frustrating for her.

That first episode was all sorts of fucked up, but in that good Sunny way.

Last season I felt they were running out of steam, but after two episodes I am now certain that this season is going to be super-awesome. :drill:

Started slow, but the last ten minutes or so...just awesome.

Anyone know how far behind Hulu is going to be on this?  I waaaaaant.

I haven't decided yet if Charlie's forgotten night with the waitress was seriously awesome, or the saddest thing ever.  I love that this shoe can go completely ridiculous on one hand, and the other do a tragic and sweet story.

Since Charlie seemed to enjoy it anyway, I put it in the awesome camp.

When I started watching that ep I thought "We haven't seen the waitress for a while." I love all waitress-related material. (Also I love the waitress. Those two may be related)

Even though the robbery was completely telegraphed it still managed to shock me and be hilarious.

From the minute Dee's hair got caught in the ride, I started laughing and didn't stop until the end. I love the look on Mac's face when the guy shoots him up with steroids.

That might have been the best episode of Sunny in a long time. 

- Pickle Party. 
- The Old Dennis (the one who is completely shallow, but scarily competent) made a reappearance.
- The asshole characters realize that they might be going to far with the fake funeral.
- Charlie and Dennis arguing about putting a crucifix in the bar.


The League was also really, really good.

I think I liked the Jersey Shore episode better, but last night's was great because they kept escalating the situation. I love this show.

Last night was the first time I'd seen The League. Man, that show is hilarious. I'll check it out again next week.

The beauty pageant episode was goddamn brilliant. You could see the ending coming from a mile away, but seeing the gang get there was totally worth it. The musical numbers were good. Not Night Man good, but funny as hell.

The show has been on a bit of a roll the last couple episodes. Also, Charlie hosted SNL last weekend.  I guess you know you've arrived when you get to host SNL.

I heard a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth about whether they could really bring the funny for a 7th season. Dear god...just full belly laughs multiple times in every episode. I had to rewind and watch the scene of Charlie and Dennis reporting the 'rape' at the PD several times because I was laughing so hard I kept missing lines. The look on Dennis's face when Charlie pinned him as the rape victim. followed by Charlie's 'He really made soup of your insides'...ROFL


Found it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFAoMGgtoYg

The detective?  He played a minor recurring character on The Shield as a weasally police detective named Billings.  A couple weeks ago, they had the dude from the Wire/Fringe on.

I really liked this last episode where they broke into the house.  It basically started out in the middle of the story when it had escalated to full-blown crazy, rather than start sane and escalate.

I really wanted to hear Dennis' really convincing speech though.

This season has built from a good start into a great one. Chardee McDee the Game, the ANTI-Social Network and the house invasion were all just goddamn brilliant. The family with the Southern accent being Asian just scored an ace on top of the cherry. I think they can manage a good 7 seasons of crazy out of this.

Charlie and Dennis high  :drill:

I really didn't like last season of Sunny, but this season has been a great return to form.  Some uneven or mediocre episodes, like the how Mac got fat episode, but even then there have been saving bits.  Dennis going completely insane about his appearance was great. 


The League has been pretty good as well...  and somehow they've managed to score some pretty amazing guest stars this season for a tiny FX show.  Seth Rogan, Ray Liotta, Jeff Goldblum, and Sarah Silverman so far.  Goldblum was great as Ruxin's father. 

The whole Babaman thing had me rolling a couple weeks ago, and I find Rafi to be either completely terrible or completely hilarious....  which I think is the point of the character.

Holy shit, Goldblum's O Face was hilarious.

I think it's the exact same O Face that Ruxin made last season.

Can't stop looking at Fat Mac.

I'm going to start using thunder-gunning as a verb.

New season starts tonight!

That last episode fell completely flat.

I think they tried to get too much out of the recycling joke. It didn't help that they were recycling the plots from one of my favorite episodes ever.

The number of self deprecating jokes about how absurd the gang and their adventures are makes me worry they might decide to end the show.

I think they are already signed for at least a season after this one.

The Halloween episode was much much better.

The McPoyles are so just so creepily well acted. I have a hard time watching the screen when they are on, but god are they funny. SO WRONG, yet funny.

Haven't seen it yet, but Guillermo del Toro played "Papa McPoyle".


Also, a teaser for this season http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3qIaBn3nQo

The McPoyles under that creepy horrorish lighting/filming made it difficult to eat my dinner while watching the episode.

"If Charlie rules the world i will go down on myself"  At least Dennis is a man of his word.  BTW, it's real (http://www.techpocalypse.com/).

That episode was so fucked up but so goddamn funny. Dee turning into a Stepford wife was gold.

This is now on Netflix…

The gang desperately tries to win an award is possibly the funniest episode they've ever done.

I don't get FXX...at least not without paying extra. So dumb.

I just watched the episode "Charlie Work" (the Birdman homage one).  Wow.

Yeah, it was fucking amazing. Other than the one cut at the end when the RV drives back up as Charlie's opening the door, every other cut was insanely smooth and seamless.

According to the wiki, the long shot is actual an homage to True Detective and Birdman wasn't out in theaters when the episode aired.

I don't think I believe that, because it had the jazzy drum soundtrack thing going in the background.  Which I do not recall being a thing in True Detective.  But it was definitely not just a Birdman homage; it had more of the feel of a heist movie given the theme of the episode.

Dennis is doing a McConaughey impression behind the bar to the health inspector.  The first time I watched the episode I didn't even notice the long shot though I remember loving the flow of the episode.  I wondered why Dennis was doing the 'alright alright alright'.

ARISE!

New season coming Sep. 25th! (https://vimeo.com/357936015/7258c878d1)

Somehow, this show has maintained a pretty consistent level of quality, while also jumping the shark, then humping the shark's dead corpse after they blew it up with dynamite.
