A Look Back: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

It’s almost time for one of the most cracked out shows on TV to return in a few days, with their much anticipated season 7. As of now they hold the honor for longest running basic cable live action sit-com. Congrats to them, for being totally deserving of this, and also for having Green Man become a thing at parties. I wanted to take a look back at my favorite episodes from the Sunny seasons and some of the best one liners.

So let’s kick it off with a look back at last season. Dee was pregnant and the much anticipated father of the baby was… Carmen the Tranny. Even at the end when you see Dee coming out with a tiny little bundle of joy and the looks on the Gang’s faces looking like everything in their lives is about to change, you see Mac’s on again off again love interest Carmen, and her loving husband and Sunny goes back to what it does best, uncomfortable, ridiculous and completely crazy moments. Here are some highlights from the past six seasons.

Mac’s Big Break Season 6, Episode 4

I think this episode won me over with the intro rolling into the opening credits as Mac wins a radio contest, and Charlie, lets out a loud, uninhibited scream. Everything from Charlie’s mullet wig, Mac’s use of the word ‘jerbronie’, and Frank, Dennis and Dee starting their own podcast made this episode one of my favorites.

Paddy’s Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens Season 5, Episode 8

Seriously just watch the video. Was it the Kitten Mitton commercial? Or even Frank’s obsession with eggs? Dicktowel.com? What made this episode great was the complete and utter absurdity that came from it. And for those of you VH1 reality fans, like me, one of your favorite Rock of Love girls has a cameo. I freaking love this episode. Egg.

The Waitress Is Getting Married Season 5, Episode 5

My idea was to only have one episode with each season that I loved, but I couldn’t decide between the two. The episode is filled with one liners that I constantly spout off. It makes me want to see Charlie Kelly’s match.com profile so I can browse his interests of milk steak, ghouls and magnets. Just magnets dude. Mix that in with a wheel of cheese and a box of hornets and you have an episode embedded into my mind forever.

Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack Season 4, Episode 10

I couldn’t choose between this episode and The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis, but overall this one takes the prize as my favorite from season 4. Dee and Dennis are hilarious in this episode with their Mexican Botox do-it-yourself kits among their workout attire, but the highlight of this episode is Mac and Charlie working as two mail room schlubs, in order to get health insurance. Watch the video above for one of the best TV flip outs of all time. Don’t forget to do a little sing-a-long to Day Bow Bow, oh yeahhh.

Sweet Dee’s Dating a Retarded Person Season 3, Episode 9

Dayman… Fighter of the Nightman… Champion of the Sun… You’re a master of karate and friendship for everyone. Truly epic, oh and yeah Sweet Dee may or may not have dated a retarded guy, so that was really funny too.

Hundred Dollar Baby Season 2, Episode 5

Sweet Dee and Charlie on steroids. If them not facing square off and staring at each other only a couple inches away from each other's faces did not floor you, well, you just don’t know the true essence of Sunny. This was chock full of Sunny goodness, whether it had to do with Clown Baby or the Million Dollar Baby parody at the end of the episode.

Underage Drinking: A National Concern Season 1, Episode 3

The beginning of Sunny was rocky, only because not a lot of people knew about it, but those who did knew something special was going to happen. I personally don’t remember exactly which season of Sunny it was when I started watching… I believe it was either four or three, but regardless the first season was fantastic because of the introduction to these completely ridiculous characters and scenarios. This episode in particular was right up there on the Sunny scale of insane. Dating high school kids and letting them drink it up in the bar. Oh you guys, you slay me. I love how Mac wants to go stag to a prom he obviously has no business being at, then again none of them did.

Post some of your favorite Sunny moments, and don’t forget to tune in to FX Thursday September 15^th for the season 7 premiere, Frank’s Pretty Woman. And also take a listen to the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, with guests Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton. It was a pretty interesting episode. You can listen to that at www.wtfpod.com
