It 39;s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Where To Watch
Marguerite Gilbeau
Check-in sent us to wardrobe where I was given a darker collard shirt and the girl was given a jean jacket to wear with her dress. Naturally she refused to wear it because, well, who wears jean jackets these days? We headed back over to get some food from craft services and waited until we were told what next to do. Ten minutes later one of the crew members came over, gave us some details on the scene and why we were at a bar and told the extras to head to the holding area. As they headed towards the holding area the girl and I were lead onto the set to watch the action.
It took some time for the crew to set things up, something about adjustments or last minute changes. From our point of view it seemed like a lot of variables to deal with for maybe 5 minutes or less of total air time. We sat at one of the tables while the crew set up lights, the director ran around looking for shots and many others things unbeknownst to us occurred.
At break time there was food and a chance to sit back and relax and do whatever until the next shot(s) were ready. During one of the breaks we walked outside and joked a bit with the other extras about how much smiling we had to do (as soon as they start filming we have to talk to each other without speaking and always smile). It was like being at the dentist for a long time, eventually your face starts to hurt. A little chit chat to break up the monotony and then back for the next shots.
With 16 seasons and counting, the most re-watchable It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes cement the show's lasting legacy. The Paddy's Pub Gang can always be counted on to get up to some wild mischief and continue to prove they are among the least likable characters on television. The collection of episodes numbers far over 100 at this point, and while there is no sign of slowing down, there are some episodes fans can always return to.
The episodes of It's Always Sunny that never seem to get old offer the big laughs that fans are always looking for from the show. They feature the most clever and exciting storylines from the series and make great use of the unforgettable ensemble It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has created. From the early favorites to the more recent episodes that prove the show still has it, the funniest Always Sunny episodes stand out.
It is rare that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia approaches social issues in such a direct manner. Any fan of the show knows that the entire purpose of the Gang's racist, sexist, misogynistic, hateful actions are done because they are all really bad people. Their stupidity is the joke, and their prejudices are part of what makes them terrible. However, in "The Gang Turns Black," the show delivers its own harsh indictment of racism in America, and the show does it in the strangest way possible.
This is a musical episode, with 10 original songs along the way. The entire story is a thinly veiled critique of what it is like to be discriminated against. It is also a case where the Gang doesn't really get it, while the entire audience knows exactly what is going on. When Dennis says it is hard to know when discrimination is happening, that is a staggering moment, but then in the end, none of them really learn anything, as is often the case.
In the season 6 episode, "Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats," Charlie walks up to the Gang, and he is completely in a daze after spending a long time bashing rats in the bar's basement. He admits he killed about 200 rats and started to theorize about life and wonder if rats' lives are any less important than humans' lives.
It is an interesting moment of internalization, but that is just the setup because none of them really care about human lives or even that of rats. This episode is one of the rare ones where the Gang decides to stop being mean for a small moment to do something nice for someone else.
In this case, they decide that since Charlie is too upset, they should throw him a birthday party. The fact that it isn't his birthday doesn't matter to anyone and they move on forward with the plans, which makes it even more charming and surprisingly heartfelt. Of course, there are also jokes at Charlie's expanse about his illiteracy, but that just makes it even better.
Frank Reynolds "I'm the Trash Man! I come out, I throw trash all over the- all over the ring! And then I start eatin' garbage! And then I pick up the trash can, and I bash the guy on the head." Season 5, Episode 7.
One of the most iconic memes from It's Always Sunny spawned from this episode. In a manic episode, Charlie ends up mapping the mail he was supposed to be sorting all along the walls in the mail room and crazily looks back at Mac.
In a money scheme inspired by Dee's pen pal from the Army, the gang arrange a wrestling match in which Frank, Mac, Dennis, and Charlie are all participated in. The iconic scene linked above is the walk up song for Mac, Dennis, and Charlie as "The Birds of War". This episode is also where Frank's quote from above originated from.
While on their way to a charity event in Atlantic City, the gang gets stranded in the woods and their antics ensue. Above is a clip from Mac explaining how he wanted to empress his childhood hero, Chase Utley.
Being the first episode centered around the five main characters and them only, they are confined to their boredom within the bar. The game is mainly a derivative from their college drinking antics and the last man standing wins. Frank had never played before and brings an interesting advantage to the table as a contributor on Mac and Charlie's team.
While these are my 25 favorites, there are quite literally 1000s that could have been included. The Beatles' body of work is massive and there is something for everyone. If you have been living under a rock and haven't discovered the Fab Four, you have to get musically educated. Stream them on Spotify, find them on iTunes or even buy a CD or record (Yes, those still exist!). I would suggest starting with 1, which is a collection of most of their #1 songs, or the 1968 White Album. Give them chance and you'll never look back.
The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.
Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Sometimes traditions seem like a silly thing, but the fact of it is that it's part of who you are. You grew up this way and, more than likely, so did your parents. It is something that is part of your family history and that is more important than anything.
When tragedy strikes in a small town, everyone feels obligated to help out because, whether directly or indirectly, it affects you too. It is easy in a bigger city to be able to disconnect from certain problems. But in a small town those problems affect everyone.
Along the same lines as #3, everyone is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand when you need one in a small town and to me that is the true meaning of community. It's working together to build a better atmosphere, being there to raise each other up, build each other up, and pick each other up when someone is in need. A small town community is full of endless support whether it be after a tragedy or at a hometown sports game. Everyone shows up to show their support.
People say this to others all the time, but it takes on a whole new meaning in a small town. It is true that life is about the journey, but when you're from a small town, you know it's about the journey because the journey probably takes longer than you spend at the destination. Everything is so far away that it is totally normal to spend a couple hours in the car on your way to some form of entertainment. And most of the time, you're gonna have as many, if not more, memories and laughs on the journey than at the destination.
Word travels fast in a small town, so don't think you're gonna get away with anything. In fact, your parents probably know what you did before you even have a chance to get home and tell them. And forget about being scared of what your teacher, principle, or other authority figure is going to do, you're more afraid of what your parents are gonna do when you get home.
While small towns are not always extremely diverse, they do contain people with a lot of different stories, struggle, and backgrounds. In a small town, it is pretty hard to exclude anyone because of who they are or what they come from because there aren't many people to choose from. A small town teaches you that just because someone isn't the same as you, doesn't mean you can't be great friends.
Nothing comes easy in life. They always say "gardens don't grow overnight" and if you're from a small town you know this both figuratively and literally. You certainly know gardens don't grow overnight because you've worked in a garden or two. But you also know that to get to the place you want to be in life it takes work and effort. It doesn't just happen because you want it to.
If you're from a small town, you know that you will probably only meet a handful of people in your life who ACTUALLY know where your town is. And forget about the people who accidentally enter into your town because of google maps. You've gotten really good at giving them directions right back to the interstate.
