Meet the most selfish, morally bankrupt, and probably funniest friend group in TV history: The Gang from Paddy’s Pub! With 16 seasons under its belt, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia takes the worst of humanity and turns it into absurd comedy in every episode. Watching the entire series might feel like a marathon, but these 5 essential episodes will instantly show you the show’s genius.
- The Nightman Cometh (Season 4, Episode 13)
The moment The Gang’s narcissism transforms into art! Charlie’s rock opera about his love for the Waitress, combined with Dennis’s ego explosions and Frank’s bizarre trolling, creates unforgettable chaos. This episode became so iconic that the cast took the musical on a real-life tour!
- Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare (Season 2, Episode 3)
They hate working so much that they decide to fake drug addiction to game the welfare system. Dennis and Dee’s laziness epic is one of the funniest proofs of how far The Gang is from living a “normal” life.
- Who Got Dee Pregnant? (Season 6, Episode 7)
A chaotic Hangover-style episode proving you can never trust The Gang’s memory. Dee’s pregnancy sparks wildly inconsistent flashbacks, each more absurd and hilarious than the last. The “bird” detail? You just have to watch to believe it.
- Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games (Season 7, Episode 7)
This isn’t a game—it’s war! The Gang’s self-invented Chardee MacDennis is a masterpiece where they torture each other in mind, body, and spirit categories. It’s a must-watch to understand their unique, toxic dynamic.
- Hero or Hate Crime? (Season 12, Episode 6)
Only Sunny could take a topical issue and turn it into a completely selfish debate. Mac’s struggle with his queer identity, filtered through The Gang’s warped logic, is both hilarious and surprisingly poignant.
And get ready! The Gang is back! It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 premieres on July 9, 2025, on FXX and streams the next day on Hulu. Don’t miss this chaos!
