God, I am glad I started watching this show.

Watched all the eps on hulu.com over the last month, and started watching them on FX on Thursdays.

Easily the funniest show I have ever seen, surpassing Arrested Development. Tonight's was money...I lost it for 5 minutes when Charlie smashed the beer bottle over the dude's head.

Unbelievable.

My favorite part was when they did the acapella version of "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday."

I don't know why, it just got my nut off.

for me it's still 2nd place behind AD but i really never thought another show would make me laugh as hard as AD did.

Thank god there are still some funny people left in hollywood.

agreed. Sunny is great, but I wouldn't put it in the Seinfeld/Arrested Development category just yet.

The episode where they have to coach the kids basketball team is probably my favorite.

That and when Dee and (Dennis?) got hooked on crack

I lost my shite when they started singing this. "Why'd you touch his dick" Had me rolling to. Man this show is hilarious. For me Arrested Development and ASIP are neck-and-neck.

Ducking and running for the nearest exit.

I'm not gonna hate because you don't like the show, but why do you think it's overrated? Just wondering because I have never seen anyone call it overrated.

If anything it's underrated. If it was on HBO it'd be way more popular. Just not on AD's level.

Under rated nationally, but on here over rated. You guys pimp this all the time.

I did a huge season one marathon and I liked a lot of the episodes but some were terrible.

I agree from a National standpoint it is not over rated, but from this site it is.

It's there. It's made it to the upper echelon of comedy, today.

There were a lot of things i loved about AD, but there are an innumerable amount of things i LOVE about Always Sunny.

Will Arnett and David Cross are epic, though. It's a tough call, but i think Charlie may be the best/most lovable man on television.

AD is smarter, more creative, more subtle

Philly makes me laugh harder

Philly > AD

i'm about 99% positive that was the funniest Sunny episode i've ever seen...there were so many great things about it!


my favorite scene was with the reporter, mack, and charlie in the bathroom:

i think this was the best scene in the episode, though:


Charlie-"Well excuse me, Mr. Man. But i happen to think this bathroom is pristine because i worked very hard cleaning it. In fact, it's so clean I think you could eat out of these urinals."
Mack-"No you absolutely cannot eat out of these urinals."
Charlie-"Oh really, what's this?" *Takes bite out of urinal cake.
Mack-"Bro, I just pissed in there... Read More...like 5 minutes before you came in!"
Charlie-"Don't say that now, you're gonna make me look bad!"
Mack-"Well spit it out, man! You gonna eat it? You're still chewing it."
Charlie-"I HAVE TO PROVE A POINT TO HIM!"

my favorite line of the episode


and i agree that it's easily the funniest show on tv at the moment, but not on AD's level...i could watch the same AD episode 10 times, and find something to laugh at that i hadn't previously noticed every time
