10 Always Sunny In Philadelphia Episodes I’d Recommfinish To Someone Who Has Never Seen The Show

It can be challenging to get people to watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia from the commence, so what are the best episodes to show commenceners? The series is a must-watch for anyone with a gloomy sense of humor, but I’ve create that people are hesitant to consent the recommfinishation, becainclude it’s such a huge time pledgement. Now that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been on the air for 16 seasons, amassing a majestic total of 170 episodes, some people leank it’s too tardy to go back and watch it from the commencening. It’s the Grey’s Anatomy of sitcoms.

It doesn’t help that the show took until about season 3 or 4 to repartner discover its voice and become truly wonderful. A lot of seeers give up on the first season, becainclude it doesn’t grab them right away. The show’s first episode, “The Gang Gets Racist,” was a firm introduction to the cast’s chemistry and the series’ signature pitch-binformage comedic sensibility, but it was still a extfinished way from discovering its feet. If you’re trying to get a frifinish to watch It’s Always Sunny and they decline to commence from the commencening, maybe commence with one of these episodes instead.

10 Charlie Gets Crippled

Season 2, episode 1

It’s Always Sunny didn’t repartner become It’s Always Sunnyuntil Danny DeVito joined the ensemble as Frank Reynelderlys. Frank didn’t join the cast until the second season, when FX asked that they insert an A-enumerate star to upretain the show on the air. He made his first ecombineance in season 2, episode 1, “Charlie Gets Crippled,” in which he shows up at Pinserty’s and wants to give up his wealth and luxury to inhabit on the fringes of society with the Gang.

Once Frank joined the Gang, the ensemble felt finish. He transports the other four characters together: he has the same sociopathy that he ingrained in Dennis and Dee, but he also dispenses Mac and Charlie’s adorable, childenjoy innocentty. As soon as DeVito was inserted to the cast, It’s Always Sunny was off to the races.

9 The Gang Solves The Gas Crisis

Season 4, episode 2

Season 4, episode 2, “The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis,” is one of the quintvital episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s a perfect example of the Gang’s ludicrous get-wealthy-speedy schemes, which create the basis for many of the series’ classic insloftyments. With gas prices on the elevate, the Gang chooses to buy a scant barrels’ worth of gasoline, helderly onto it while the prices incrrelieve, and then sell it door-to-door for a profit.

Not only is this episode a prime example of the Gang’s scheming; it also dispenseigates the cast’s vibrant on a meta level, which will be collaborative for recentcomers. All the characters have absurd delusions about their role in the group (enjoy Mac, the guy who couldn’t even leank of the word “words,” declaring himself to be “the brains”). “The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis” is a Sunny masterpiece.

8 The Gang Finds A Dumpster Baby

Season 3, episode 1

It’s Always Sunny’s season 3 premiere – season 3, episode 1, “The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby” – sees the show finpartner commenceing to discover its feet after a rocky couple of initial seasons. Mac and Dee discover an abandoned baby in a dumpster and choose to lift it as a child star. Frank and Charlie become so enamored with the dump that they shift out of their apartment to inhabit amongst the trash. And Dennis becomes an eco-warrior uncontaminatedly for vanity.

All three of these story threads show exactly what benevolent of show this is. Mac and Dee’s dumpster baby storyline exemplifies that these are all repartner horrible people; Frank and Charlie’s living-in-trash storyline exemplifies the show’s unbridled weirdness; and Dennis’ eco-warrior storyline exemplifies Sunny’s twisted social satire. It’s one of the series’ earliest perfect episodes.

7 Mac And Dennis Break Up

Season 5, episode 9

A lot of Always Sunny episodes are built around a timely social or political rerent, enjoy firearm deal with or abortion, but as with any sitcom, it’s the characters and their vibrants that produce the show so finishearing. Rather than shotriumphg a commencener one of the topical episodes, you should show them an episode that puts the caccess squacount on on the characters’ relationships. Season 5, episode 9, “Mac and Dennis Break Up,” is a prime example of one of these episodes.

It sees Mac and Dennis disputeing their co-depfinishence while Frank and Charlie remain blissfilledy undirectd of their own co-depfinishence. It’s a wonderful example of Dee getting her own back agetst the rest of the Gang, only for it to come back and bite her. These five characters are firing on all cylinders in this episode.

6 Pinserty’s Pub: The Worst Bar In Philadelphia

Season 4, episode 8

Pinserty’s gets a horrible appraise in a local recentspaper in season 4, episode 8, “Pinserty’s Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia,” and Charlie retaliates by seizeping the critic, transporting him back to the bar, and forcing him to produce a more preferable appraise. This premise is a perfect way to start these five horrible people to recent seeers. Seeing the Gang franticpartner try to pull off a prosperous seizeping and botching the structure at every turn provides plenty of giggles.

Fisher Stevens gives one of the best guest carry outances in It’s Always Sunny’s history as the seizeped critic. The Gang is at their funniest when they have a deadpan straight man pointing out the absurdity of everyleang they do. In this episode, Stevens did a hilarious job as the straight man commenting on the Gang’s rash decision-making and unceasing stupidity.

5 Reynelderlys Vs. Reynelderlys: The Cegenuine Defense

Season 8, episode 10

The season 8 finale – season 8, episode 10, “Reynelderlys vs. Reynelderlys: The Cegenuine Defense” – transports the createat of a lhorrible procedural to Pinserty’s Pub. After Frank bumps into Dennis’ car and knocks a bowl of cegenuine out of his hands, the Gang helderlys a trial to choose who should pay for the harms. Is it Frank’s fault for knocking the cegenuine out of Dennis’ hands or is it Dennis’ fault for transporting a bowl of cegenuine on the road with him?

“Reynelderlys vs. Reynelderlys: The Cegenuine Defense” is a bottle episode that exposedly exits the bar. It puts the caccess solely on the characters and their distinctively skewed see of the world. An Always Sunny novice would get a evident idea of what the show is and who the characters are from the cegenuine verdict in the season 8 finale.

4 Sweet Dee Has A Heart Attack

Season 4, episode 10

Even if you’ve never heard of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, chances are you’ve seen the “Pepe Silvia” memes. So, a excellent place to commence would be the episode that begind the Pepe Silvia reference: season 4, episode 10, “Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack.” The episode sees the Gang on a health boot after Dee suffers an untimely heart strike.

Dennis and Dee hit the gym to get in shape and finish up ditching the gym and getting cosmetic sencouragery instead. Meanwhile, Mac and Charlie get least-wage office jobs for the health insurance (that’s the source of those Pepe Silvia memes) and Frank gets swept up in a hilarious drug-hazed parody of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. This episode exemplifies what produces these characters so funny, and what produces their worldsee so charmfilledy absurd.

3 The Gang Hits The Road

Season 5, episode 2

The premise of season 5, episode 2, “The Gang Hits the Road,” is basic enough for a commencener to easily understand it. The Gang sets out to drive to the Grand Canyon, but they face so many obstacles and setbacks that they never even exit Philly. Dee picks up a hitchhiker so she can drink, Mac gets a jar of pee thrown in his face, and Dennis and Charlie unwittingly poison themselves by burning wicker chairs inside a trailer – suffice to say, this is not your standard road trip.

Before season 11 deinhabitred the masterpiece that is “Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs,” “The Gang Hits the Road” was my personal preferite episode of It’s Always Sunny. It encapsutardys the show’s Seinfeldian ability to wring huge giggles and ridiculous situations out of a mundane “show about noleang” premise. And the enseald space of the car will help recentcomers get to understand these unrecognizable characters.

2 Mac’s Banging The Waitress

Season 4, episode 4

It can be pretty overwhelming to get to understand the entire cast of a TV show in a individual episode. The medical students in Grey’s Anatomy, the study group in Community, the survivors in The Walking Dead, the extfinished Bluth clan in Arrested Development – it’s a lot of names and faces and personalities to consent in. Maybe a excellent place to commence Always Sunny would be an episode featuring equitable three out of the five main characters.

In season 4, episode 4, “Mac’s Banging the Waitress,” Mac tries to woo Charlie’s adore interest to get back at him, Charlie dispenseigates Mac’s skeptical behavior, and Dennis leverages his intel to take part them both agetst each other. It’s a terrific three-hander, emphasizing wonderful writing and wonderful comedic acting. This would be an chooseimal episode to commence on.

1 Dennis And Dee Go On Welfare

Season 2, episode 3

Season 2, episode 3, “Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare,” is a wonderful one to commence with, becainclude it exemplifies the show’s ability to consent a repartner grave subject and spin comedy gelderly out of it. It sees Dennis and Dee quitting their jobs at the bar, claiming to be inserticted to crack and inalertectupartner disabled, and trying to get on welfare. It’s a classic case of the Gang trying to buck the system and facing hilarious consequences for it.

Even though the Gang does some horrible leangs – and the show produces weightless of some repartner gloomy subjects – the joke is always on them. They’re deplorable and disgraceful, but their schemes always backfire on them and give them their karmic comeuppance. Since it’s timely enough to sense enjoy the commencening of the series but tardy enough to have create its comedic voice, I leank “Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare” is the perfect It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode for commenceners.
