Comedy’s a dagger…wield it with verve, but beware the bleed. You definitely might have heard a joke so savage it leaves you laughing through gritted teeth, wondering if you should be clutching your sides or your moral compass? Yeah, that kind of laugh—the “am I a bad person for finding this funny?” type. And needless to say, we live for it. Rob McElhenney’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is here to rip off the Band-Aid with the finesse of a drunk raccoon rummaging through an existential crisis.

McElhenney, the audacious architect of this gloriously depraved sitcom, wields a pen that dances on the precipice of propriety. His brainchild, Paddy’s Pub, is a crucible of narcissistic knavery where The Gang’s perfidious antics spark both guffaws and grimaces.

In a show where no taboo is too taboo, he did greenlight a scene so twisted that it...

Comedy isn’t just about getting the laugh—it’s about knowing who’s left hurting after it echoes. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has long been the class clown of television—unfiltered, unruly, and brilliantly wrong on purpose. It’s the sitcom that spikes the punch at the party, throws shade at sacred cows, and somehow keeps acing the comedy game despite breaking every rule in the book. But even the most chaotic jesters eventually trip over their own punchlines.

And that’s exactly what co-creator Rob McElhenney confronted when he looked back at a joke that crossed a line, swung too low, and missed the mark entirely.

Sometimes it can take years for a movie to truly catch on, and that has proven to be the case with the 2004 comedy White Chicks, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, and starring Marlon and Shawn Wayans, better known as the Wayans Brothers. The film was a moderate hit upon release and wasn't embraced by critics as it carries a less than stellar 15% Rotten Tomatoes score. Despite the critical response, the film has since been regarded as a cult classic, with many fans demanding a sequel. As they wait for news of a follow-up, White Chicks has found success once again by becoming a hit on streaming.

White Chicks is currently streaming on Max and is currently ranked ninth in their top ten movies. The movie is ahead of the James Franco comedy Why Him and behind a wide range of efforts from films that are great, such as End of Watch...

Marlon Wayans thinks "it’s time" to make a ‘White Chicks’ sequel.The 52-year-old actor starred with his brother Shawn Wayans, 54, in the 2004 action-comedy, and has now teased a follow-up flick may be his next project after he and Shawn reunite to develop ‘Scary Movie 6’.Speaking on 'Good Morning America', Marlon said: "[Fans always ask] 'When are you doing the sequel?' They love that movie."Hey, you know, I think it's time. Let's get ‘Scary Movie 6’ done, and then we'll go and bring out ‘White Chicks 2’."‘White Chicks’ - which also featured Terry Crews, Jaime King and Brittany Daniel - starred the Wayans brothers as a pair of FBI agents who go undercover as white women to foil a kidnapping plot. While the white face aspect of the movie is now viewed as inappropriate by some, Marlon previously insisted that cancel culture should have no place in comedy.He...

Twin sisters Brittany Daniel and Cynthia Daniel Hauser have shared a lot throughout their lives, including their careers — the pair had a run as the Doublemint Twins in the ’90s, appeared in the 1995 Leonardo DiCaprio film The Basketball Diaries together and, most famously, starred as identical twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield for four seasons on Sweet Valley High. But, as the two recalled during the “Fabulous Ladies of the ’90s” panel at 90s Con in Daytona Beach, Florida, they also shared something far more intimate: Cynthia donated eggs to Brittany during her IVF journey. “I went through cancer in my mid 30s, and then I tried to do IVF to retrieve eggs and I wasn’t able to,” said Brittany. “And I told my doctor I have an identical twin sister, and she is extremely fertile. And he was like, ‘What are you doing? Let’s bring her in.'” Cynthia,...

Carmen Electra is sharing her struggles and what it was like during the dark times when she was homeless. The fifty-two-year-old model and actress has done so much in her career. Yet, now she is finally opening up about what life was like before she found her niche in the industry. Keep reading for more details.

Carmen Electra Shares Struggling & Being Homeless

For years, Carmen Electra was known as a Baywatch babe, a spokesmodel, and someone who could comically poke fun at herself. She was able to do so in films like Scary Movie and Disaster Movie while always having fun. Carmen also took a chance with reality television when she and musician, Dave Navarro were getting ready to tie the knot. They starred on the MTV reality series, ‘Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave. Sadly, the show and the marriage did not last long but they did...

Seinfeld was the biggest sitcom on television during the time it aired on NBC. Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the show About Nothing was loved by everyone and it made the careers of Jerry Seinfeld who played himself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus who played Elaine Benes, and Jason Alexander who played the universally loved George. The series mostly followed four people hanging out and going on weird and absurdly comedic adventures. So, if you miss the hilarious comedy, unconventional but relatable characters, and timeless stories in Seinfeld, here are some similar shows you should check out next.

The iconic cult classic White Chicks has recently made its triumphant return to Netflix, much to the delight of both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers. This hilarious comedy film follows two FBI agents who go undercover as women to protect a pair of hotel heiresses from a nefarious kidnapping plot.

Created by the Wayans brothers and originally released over two decades ago, White Chicks has become a comedy staple, celebrated for its side-splitting moments, endlessly quotable lines, and unforgettable characters. It’s no wonder it remains a must-watch for comedy lovers everywhere.

But have you ever wondered about the cast? Specifically, how old the actors were when they filmed this comedy gem, and how old they are now in 2024?

Well, you’re in the right place! Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and uncover the ages of the talented cast that brought this iconic film to life.

Francine Pascal, the author whose “Sweet Valley High” series of young-adult novels became a cultural touchstone for generations of readers beginning in the 1980s, died Sunday of Lymphoma at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. She was 92.

Her daughter Laurie Wenk-Pascal announced the news to The New York Times.

The first book in the series, Double Love, was published in 1983 — an attempt, Pascal would say, to fill the void in young-adult literature for a Dallas-style soap opera entertainment. Set primarily at a fictional high school in a fictional Los Angeles suburb, the book series initially focused on twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield. As the series grew, eventually to include hundreds of sequels, The Wakefields would age from middle school to college, their adventures encompassing reality-based teen drama and comedy as well as more fantastical doings akin to Nancy Drew and even the Scooby-Doo gang.

Born Francine Paula Rubin on May 13, 1932, Pascal grew up in Jamaica,...

There are few shows that push the boundaries of good taste quite like "It's Sunny in Philadelphia." The long-running FX comedy series has had a relative lack of backlash over the years despite joking about controversial topics in every single episode, but it has come up against some issues with censorship over the years. Sometimes, this happened after the fact, like when five episodes were removed from most streaming services for racially insensitive content in the wake of the George Floyd protests, and sometimes it came at the hands of either network brass or basic network standards. While it's understandable that there might be some pushback for some of the show's wilder ideas, all the way back in season 1 the series' creatives really had to fight even to include a controversial word on the show. This word is not a slur, a swear, or offensive in any way outside of people's feelings around the issue,...

No one on the planet could ever accuse "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" of being too politically correct, but when the series first debuted, the cast was worried that they hadn't at least offended someone. 

The hit FX series, which has run for a record-breaking 16 seasons, has somehow managed to walk the fine line between being utterly offensive and totally hilarious, at least most of the time. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter back in 2013, the cast and creators revealed that they were initially concerned at the lack of backlash to their series because they worried it meant no one could possibly be watching. After all, the first season featured episodes where characters faked cancer, tried to pick up women at an abortion rally, sold alcohol to minors as a business tactic, and more! The series has always been envelope-pushing in its comedy and really hasn't let up in all of the years since,...

The gang on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" are a pretty tight-knit group with a long, complicated family history. At some point or another, most of the gang have claimed Frank (Danny DeVito) as their father, and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Dennis (Glenn Howerton) as twins. The cast have their own family connections too, as Olson is married to series creator and the man who plays Mac, Rob McElhenney, and the other guys have each had their spouses on the show! Charlie Day, who plays Charlie, is married to The Waitress (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), while Howerton's wife Jill Latiano made an appearance in season 5 and DeVito's wife Rhea Pearlman finally had a cameo in season 16. It's truly a family affair on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and in the latest season, another member of the extended "Sunny" family made his first appearance.

Ready for a mind-bending time warp? We’re now more removed from That ‘70s Show’s series premiere than viewers were removed from that first episode’s 1976 timeframe when the Fox sitcom debuted on August 23, 1998, 25 years ago now. In that first episode, Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty Forman (Debra Jo Rupp) give son Eric (Topher Grace) the keys to their Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Eric uses those wheels to go to a concert with his friends Donna (Laura Prepon), Hyde (Danny Masterson), and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), plus foreign exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama)… with Kelso bringing girlfriend Jackie (Mila Kunis) along, much to the others’ dismay. That seminal episode, however, isn’t among fans’ very favorites. According to IMDb voters, below are the best installments from That ‘70s Show’s eight-season run. 10.

With one character cameo, That '90s Show can finally resolve a lingering mystery that began in its parent series, That '70s Show. The Netflix spinoff, That '90s Show, follows Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti's daughter, Leia Forman. So far, the series' original-show cameo roster includes Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher as Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso, respectively. Wilmer Valderrama also returns as Fez, a fan-favorite character who allows the actor to showcase his comedic genius.

While Topher Grace and Laura Prepon reprise their roles as Eric and Donna, Grace only shows up in the pilot, though Prepon makes several cameo appearances. None of the original characters are all that crucial to That '90s Show, aside from series regulars Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, who play Kitty and Red Forman. With a second season premiere on the horizon, another exciting That '90s Show cameo can come to pass and,...

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" has more than a decade and a half of ongoing bits to draw from, but one has been headed towards its logical (and potentially magical) conclusion for a while now: Mac's (Rob McElhenney) absolutely ridiculous lack of a love life. He tried to date women and hide his sexuality for years before finally coming out of the closet as a gay man for good in the season 12 episode "Hero or Hate Crime?," and this year, he's been promised a boyfriend! There haven't been many long-term romantic relationships on the series, so there's no telling if Mac's boyfriend will last, but it's exciting nonetheless. 

In the official season synopsis on the FX website, season 16 apparently has Mac battling "with allergies and long-distance dating," which creates more questions than it answers. Who is he dating? How did they meet? When did Mac get allergies? Isn't that a Dennis thing?...

In a first trailer for “The Game” Season 2, shared exclusively with TheWrap, players on and off the field are tested by the pro football league’s unionization efforts, which leads to confrontation, betrayals and, of course, power plays. The sophomore season of the Paramount+ revival series will premiere with two episodes on Dec. 15.

“The Game” stars Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Chanchez, Adriyan Rae, Vaughn Hebron, Analisa Velez and Toby Sandeman. Per the sports drama’s logline, it offers a “modern-day examination of Black culture through the prism of professional football. The beloved characters tackle racism, sexism, classism and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love — all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play ‘The Game.'” In Season 2, the drama and laughs double as the core group fights to survive the storms of change.

When a new season of The Game arrives on Paramount+, it'll do so with much of the original cast intact. The show, which premiered in 2006 on The CW, moved to BET in 2011 before getting canceled in 2015. The streaming era gave way to Paramount+ green-lighting a 10th season that'll serve as a reboot of sorts, but there will be some very noticeable differences. When The Game debuted, it starred Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall. However, the two left the show after season five, only making a brief reappearance in the last season. When the show picks back up on Paramount+ on Nov. 11, Hall will be back, but Mowry won't.

The respective Cheaper by the Dozen and Ray Donovan stars will be joined by Adriyan Rae (Chicago Fire), Vaughn Hebron (The Oval) and Analisa Velez (Sneaky Pete) as new cast in the ten-part series.

Pitts was an integral part of the first three seasons of the show, as wife of Jason Pitts, mother of Brittany Pitts and President of the Sunbeams. She and Jason divorced at the start of season three and in season four it emerges that she’s become a reality TV star with her own show centered around the ex-wives of professional athletes.

CBS All Access is trading in CBS for Paramount. ViacomCBS revealed Tuesday that the rebranded streaming service will be called Paramount+ beginning early next year.

The rebranding is the second, and much bigger, phase of the two-phase expansion of CBS All Access, which first launched in 2014 and was among the earliest entrants in the streaming space. In July, All Access added more than 3,500 episodes from Viacom networks BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Smithsonian Channel, along with a smaller redesign that incorporates hubs for the Viacom networks.

ViacomCBS did not reveal any new pricing for the newly-named Paramount+, though executives had previously told TheWrap they were not planning on changing the price. Currently, All Access charges $5.99 a month for limited commercials and $9.99 for an ad-free version.

Paramount+ will also heavily increase upon CBS All Access’ original series output, which included five new orders on Tuesday, highlighted by a revival of...

The Game is poised to make another return from the dead.

Deadline is reporting that the football-themed series is getting the revival treatment at The CW.

The Game initially aired on the young-skewing network for three seasons before being canceled in 2009.

Bet later swopped in to revive the series, and it blossomed into one of the most-watched shows on cable.

It aired on Bet from 2011-15, ultimately concluding after its ninth season.

Given that the CW does not currently air half-hour comedies, this new iteration of the series would take the form of a one-hour dramedy.

Even more promising is that original creator, Mara Brock Akil is returning to write the series, with Devon Greggory (Underground) attached to severe as showrunner.

If the series garners a CW order, it would be set in Baltimore, as opposed to the original's San Diego, but that does not mean original stars will not return.

Game on! The CW is developing a revival of its football-themed series The Game, according to our sister site Deadline.

While The Game was a half-hour comedy during its initial run on The CW, the new series will reportedly be a one-hour dramedy, with original creator Mara Brock Akil (Being Mary Jane) returning to pen the series, along with Devon Greggory (Underground), who will serve as showrunner. It’ll be set in Baltimore, rather than the original’s San Diego, with plans for original cast members to return.
