The Gang Gets Ready for Prime Time Season 17 Episode 7 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” titled “The Gang Gets Ready for Prime Time,” promises to deliver the same wild humor and chaos that fans have come to love. This episode centers around Frank’s unexpected announcement about his “Hometown Visit” with his Golden Bachelor partners. The Gang quickly realizes they need to step up their game to impress not only Frank but also the audience watching at home.

As the Gang prepares for the family dinner, they dive into a series of rehearsals that showcase their unique personalities. Each member brings their own ideas to the table, leading to a mix of outrageous plans and hilarious misunderstandings. From Dennis’s over-the-top charm to Dee’s attempts at sincerity, the preparations are anything but smooth. The...

Jennifer Aniston recently told Vanity Fair during a career retrospective video interview that she battled Warner Bros. to wear a brunette wig in the 2011 comedy “Horrible Bosses.” The studio wanted Aniston on-screen with her iconic blonde locks.

“I fought for that wig. That was not an easy battle,” Aniston said. “I wanted [my character] to look different. The argument from the studio, and I am sorry to call you out, was that ‘we are afraid it won’t look like you.’ That’s kind of the point! I still think it might look like a little bit like me. But I’m glad I fought for it and stuck to my guns.”

Aniston starred in “Horrible Bosses” as Dr. Julia Harris, a sexually aggressive dentist who is harassing her assistant (Charlie Day). The raunchy R-rated comedy, along with 2013’s “We’re the Millers,” was seen as a big change in pace for Aniston...

On a 2023 episode of The Always Sunny Podcast, Glenn Howerton shared a story about his Tesla Model X with Rob Mac, Charlie Day and Megan Ganz that would end up inspiring one of Dennis’ most notorious meltdowns.

Like many Tesla drivers, Howerton thought the corresponding app was a “good fail-safe,” explaining that he could use the app to drive his car. This “fail-safe,” however, proved to be anything but. After driving into the dead-zone depths of an L.A. parking garage, Howerton learned the hard way that mobile keys don’t work without cell service.

“There’s gotta be a solution to this, but this is wild,” Howerton remembered thinking of his bricked car and useless phone. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here.”

He decided to call it a night, and Ubered home before approaching his electric vehicle with fresh eyes the next morning. But...

The upcoming episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” titled “The Golden Bachelor Live,” promises to be an entertaining twist on reality TV. Scheduled to air on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 9:00 Pm on FX, this episode features host Jesse Palmer guiding the audience through Frank’s wild journey. Fans can expect a mix of humor and chaos as Frank navigates the ups and downs of his quest for love.

In this unique episode, viewers will see clips from Frank’s time on the show leading up to the highly anticipated final rose ceremony. Frank’s antics and questionable decisions are sure to provide plenty of laughs. The gang’s trademark mischief will undoubtedly come into play as they react to Frank’s romantic escapades.

As the finale approaches, the tension will build, and the stakes will be high. Will Frank find true love, or will his outrageous personality scare off potential matches?...

A fresh look at Chris Evans in the upcoming movie Honey Don’t! has just been released, giving fans a new glimpse of the 2025 neo-noir dark comedy directed by Ethan Coen. The film stars Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Evans, and is the second part of what Coen and co-writer Tricia Cooke call a “lesbian B-movie trilogy,” following their 2024 movie Drive-Away Dolls.

Via Focus Features

Honey Don’t! had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 24, 2025, as part of the Midnight Screenings. The audience gave the film a standing ovation, showing strong support despite mixed reactions from critics.

The movie is scheduled to be released in the U.S. and Canada on August 22, 2025, through Focus Features, with Universal Pictures managing the international release.

The story takes place in Bakersfield, California, where Margaret Qualley plays Honey O’Donahue, a private detective investigating a woman’s death. Her investigation brings...

In tonight’s new episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, viewers learned that Dennis Reynolds both listens to The Joe Rogan Experience and buys pseudo-scientific products from its sponsors, a revelation that probably deserves its own bullet point in the “Dennis is a serial killer” fan theory.

In “Overage Drinking: A National Concern,” Dennis and Dee get a blast from the past when their would-be prom dates from the Season One episode “Underage Drinking: A National Concern” return to Paddy’s Pub to save their son from falling into the same trap of teenaged partying and unexpected pregnancy that brought them together. Nearly two decades after the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Gang (minus Mac) got roped into the high school drama of a bunch of underaged boozers, Dennis and Dee decide to finish what they started and tempt Tammy and Trey respectively into partaking in some extramarital entertainment with little success.

If you’re a dedicated fan, you’re going to love the callbacks in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 Episode 6.

But nostalgia aside, overall, it wasn’t very memorable.

Part of it is that the pairings for each storyline were the same as those from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 Episode 5. Two episodes in a row with the same dynamics can be a hard sell, as part of the appeal is the unique chemistry among the characters in insane situations.

(Patrick McElhenney/FX)

On top of that, Charlie and Mac’s storyline felt inconsequential. It was pretty clear that their adventure to find Frank was just a setup for the Bachelor crossover in the next two episodes.

The absence of Frank in this episode is very noticeable. While there are episodes where I felt he wasn’t needed, this one definitely required his presence to balance out the flow.

Overage Drinking: A National Concern Season 17 Episode 6 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” titled “Overage Drinking: A National Concern,” promises to deliver the show’s signature blend of humor and chaos. This episode will focus on the unexpected arrival of Tammy and Trey, who are now in their 40s and have come to Paddy’s Pub to take their teenage son home.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has run for more years than it has seasons, which is largely due to a highly in-demand cast and a global pandemic. And so, despite currently being in its 17th season, the show’s 20th anniversary is actually today.

Back on August 4, 2005, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiered on FX with the episode “The Gang Gets Racist.” But that particular episode is only kind of the show’s first episode as creator Rob Mac, who is referred to below as both Mac and McElhenney, depending on the time period, produced a few versions of the show before production on Season One officially got underway.

To properly mark 20 years of Always Sunny, here are 20 things to know about the various iterations of this “first” episode…

1 Before the Gang Got Racist

“The Gang Gets Racist” was the first episode shot by FX after Mac agreed to make...

When the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Gang isn’t scheming, scamming, plotting or rubbing things in their enemies’ faces, they still manage to find time for the little things in life — namely, making each other laugh so hard they break character.

Earlier this week, old clips resurfaced on the Always Sunny subreddit, depicting Glenn Howerton, Rob Mac, Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olson and Danny DeVito reviving the lost art of the blooper reel. A welcome blast from the past in more ways than one — bloopers were always the best part of the show, as any Disney Channel kid can attest — these gags spanned several of Always Sunny’s 17 seasons and included some of its most iconic moments, like Dennis and Mac sitting Charlie down about his cat food habit.

Person uploaded some bloopers. Never seen them before.

“Why?” Paddy’s janitor snapped when confronted about his canned diet.

Hey jabronis, there are big spoilers for season 17 of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" ahead, as well as discussion of suicide. 

The long-running sitcom series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" has gone to some seriously dark places over the years, with both boundary-pushing jokes and some plain old pitch-black humor. The original series pilot was based around Charlie (Charlie Day) telling Dennis (Glenn Howerton) that he had cancer and Dennis just wanting to go play basketball (elements that eventually ended up in the season 1 episode "Charlie Has Cancer"), so morbid humor has been a part of the series from the beginning. Since then, the gang have both intentionally and inadvertently caused the total destruction of several people's lives and have even probably gotten people killed, but in the season 17 episode "The Gang Goes to a Dog Track," the series goes to arguably its bleakest place yet. 

The series has made jokes surrounding suicide before,...

The Rick and Morty Season Eight finale, “Hot Rick,” capped off a year of spectacular guest stars by bringing in a core Lord of the Rings cast member to play… Rick’s sort-of-girlfriend’s dad?

Last week’s Rick and Morty episode, “Morty Daddy,” brought It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day into the Adult Swim sci-fi comedy’s official canon. Following the episode’s premiere, many of the TV comedy watchers who fall in the very large intersection on the Venn diagram of Rick and Morty and Always Sunny fandoms wondered if Dan Harmon’s series would honor the “comedy comes in threes” rule and introduce another member of the Paddy’s Pub Gang into the Rick and Morty universe during tonight’s hotly anticipated finale.

Well, “Hot Rick” didn’t feature Rob Mac, Glenn Howerton or Kaitlin Olson, but it did score an appearance from an...

Fxx's record-breaking sitcom "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" continues to leave a significant impact on television. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, the 17th season following the exploits of the Paddy's Pub gang continues to bring on the laughs, whether it be the ever-decaying nature of their collective lives or perhaps how their toxic antics leave recurring characters worse off. In the case of one of the new season's best episodes, the return of the unnamed lawyer is a showcase of how much of a cancer the gang can really be.

The first season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" introduced viewers to Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howerton), Ronald "Mac" McDonald (Rob Mac), and Deandra "Dee" Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson). Besides being the Bizarro sitcom version of the Fantastic Four, the original four cast members showed some promise in their first season, yet the network warned the team that...

Over a decade ago, Chris Pratt starred in the first The Lego Movie, the very one that began the iconic franchise inspired by the famous line of construction toys. Released in the U.S. in February 2014, the film was an instant favorite among critics, who gave it a fresh 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Ten years later, it landed on the popular streamer Netflix, precisely on June 1, 2024, after which it garnered even more attention from both old and new fans. Sadly, the film’s time on the platform is coming to an end very soon, with reports confirming only a few days left before its removal.

What’s on Netflix has learned that The Lego Movie is set to depart from Netflix U.S. on August 1, joining a list of fellow hit movies and TV shows, some of which have stayed longer on the streamer. A few titles listed are Conan the Destroyer...

The excitement is building for the latest episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” titled “The Gang Goes to a Dog Track.” This episode, airing on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 9:00 Pm on FX, promises to deliver the usual chaos and hilarity that fans have come to love.

In this episode, Frank finds himself in a high-stakes situation at a dog track in West Virginia. He teams up with an old business associate, hoping to strike it rich. Frank’s schemes are often unpredictable, and this time is no different. Viewers can expect plenty of outrageous antics as he navigates the world of dog racing.

Meanwhile, Dennis and Dee dive headfirst into the gambling scene but quickly discover that their luck is running out. Their attempts to beat the odds lead to some comical and unfortunate situations, showcasing their tendency to get carried away.

On a different note, Mac and Charlie...

Roughly five years after several It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes were plucked from streaming platforms for blackface, redface, brownface and other offensive jokes, fans have found a way to watch them anyways — venturing to their public libraries in pursuit of the pulled installments.

“Looking for banned episodes? Head to your local library!” one Redditor captioned a photo of their haul, which consisted of Seasons Eight, Nine and Fourteen, featuring three of the five removed episodes.

Apparently fascinated by the prospects of checking out Always Sunny’s banned installments, several fans flocked to the comments to express their envy, share links to pirating websites and make a whole lot of jokes.

“Did the library video clerk guy recommend Lethal Weapon 6?” wrote one commenter, referencing the show’s penultimate Lethal Weapon episode.

“I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how they talked the local library into displaying those seasons,” added another,...

The actor formerly known as Rob McElhenney now goes by Rob Mac, but the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star once wished he’d adopted a different moniker earlier in his TV career.

While discussing Tom Cruise’s stage name on an episode of the Always Sunny Podcast, Mac revealed that if he “had a time machine,” he’d choose to go back and change his surname to “Dumptruck.”

The sentiment sparked an echo of “Rob Dumptruck” and a series of compliments from his cohosts. “Ooh, that’s tough,” Glenn Howerton said of the “masculine” name, while Charlie Day touted it as “cool.”

Funnily enough, Mac’s actual name change earlier this summer didn’t go over nearly as well. Shortly before Mac filed to legally change his name, his wife Kaitlin Olson spoke about her husband’s then-potential decision to shave three syllables from his last name, revealing that...

Even in the Rick and Morty universe, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day can’t stop himself from burning the trash.

In tonight’s penultimate episode of Rick and Morty Season Eight, “Morty Daddy,” Adult Swim’s flagship series continued its trend of bringing in guest stars from across corporate lines as it introduced Day to the series in his role as Salvatron, the self-aware sentinel robot who digs through Rick’s trash for anything worth saving while vaporizing the rest with lasers. Fans of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will understand that, for Day, Rick and Morty asking him to play a character that is literally a professional trash-picker and trash-burner is practically typecasting.

Spoilers ahead for Rick and Morty and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans who haven’t yet watched “Morty Daddy,” which marked the second time thus far in Season Eight that Rick and...

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 is shaping up to be the year when the show’s writers put extra emphasis on both continuity and confectioneries.

Last week, the second half of the Always Sunny Season 17 premiere, “Frank Is in a Coma,” featured one of the most emotionally devastating and brutally hilarious plot twists in the sitcom’s long and storied history. Spoilers ahead for any Always Sunny fans who aren’t up-to-date on what may be remembered as the most serialized season thus far. But those of us who have experienced the sublime, fucked-up hilarity of “Frank Is in a Coma” will recall the closing joke of the episode which revealed Frank’s all-time most sadistic prank on Sweet Dee, in which he faked his own death by replacing his body with a lifelike cake just to prove to his not-daughter that Is It Cake? isn’t a stupid show.

The gang shines once again. It's almost too good to be true to say this, but the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" guys don't drop the ball even as the FX sitcom approaches its 20th anniversary. Season 17's batch of eight episodes are as outrageous, offensive, and culturally inappropriate as we'd like (and expect) them to be. They hit on several trendy and hot-button topics while also deepening the show's own twisted and malicious universe through the gang's weird obsessions. Today, I specifically want to focus on the third episode, titled "Mac and Dennis Become EMTs," that both pays homage to and ridicules the network's hit drama series, the fantastic "The Bear."

It all starts with the peppers. As one of our favorite idiots, Mac (Rob Mac) points it out early on, "Peppers spice everything up." They certainly do, as we see in the opening scene where two EMTs are...

This article contains spoilers for "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 17, episode 3, "Mac and Dennis Become EMTs."

Sometimes I worry I'm too sensitive to be a fan of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." I shed a tear when I found out poor Charlie (Charlie Day) can't read, and I always wince when the show implies Charlie totally got molested by his Uncle Jack (Andrew Friedman). But it's not just Charlie whose pain I struggle to find the humor in; I also feel bad for those poor souls who've had their lives ruined by the gang over the years, like Cricket (David Hornsby), the Waitress (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), and especially the unnamed Lawyer.

The Lawyer, played Brian Unger, was first introduced in season 3 as a happy, healthy, successful man. He went to Harvard and had a loving wife, but it all went downhill when he was assigned to be the executor...

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Danny DeVito reveals the filming month for the next installment following a two-year hiatus between seasons. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 is currently airing following a lengthy break. After debuting in 2005, the series is celebrating its 20th anniversary, a significant milestone. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the longest-running sitcom of all time and has already been picked up for season 18.

In an interview with Collider, DeVito reveals season 18 will begin filming at the end of January 2026. DeVito praises his fellow co-stars, along with the crew, saying filming is something he looks forward to doing. While DeVito does not expand beyond a filming window, the series should be in active production in a little over six months. Check out his quotes below:

DeVito: We're going to go again next season. We just talked about when we're going to start. It's something that you...

After a nine-year absence, the Lawyer is finally back in tonight’s episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia — and now he’s got an eye patch!

The Lawyer, played by the expertly straight-faced Brian Unger, first appeared in Season Three of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia when Dee and Dennis’ mom dies and the two of them, along with Frank, are called to hear the reading of her will. True to form, Dee, Dennis and Frank all lash out at the Lawyer for what’s included in the will — despite the Lawyer having never met her. The scene is one of the most memorable moments from the show’s early years and highlights a dynamic that always helps the show shine: Whenever The Gang interacts with a regular person, things go poorly.

Since then, the Lawyer has appeared a total of five more times, and with each appearance, his...

Mac and Dennis Become EMTs Season 17 Episode 3 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” titled “Mac and Dennis Become EMTs” promises to bring the usual chaos and humor that fans have come to love. In this episode, Mac and Dennis find inspiration after witnessing a team of EMTs perform a life-saving act on a patron at Paddy’s Pub. This moment ignites a spark in them, pushing them to pursue what they believe is the ultimate expression of masculinity.

As the episode unfolds, viewers can expect Mac and Dennis to dive headfirst into their new venture. Their quest to become EMTs is likely to be filled with their signature antics and misguided attempts to prove their worth. The duo often takes things to extremes, and this time will be no different.

Season 17 of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” continues with Episode 4, titled “Thought Leadership: A Corporate Conversation.” This episode promises to bring the Gang’s signature chaos as they face a public relations disaster that could threaten Paddy’s Pub. With their usual lack of foresight, the Gang decides to embrace a new corporate professionalism, which is bound to lead to hilarious outcomes.

In this episode, the Gang finds themselves in a tight spot and must come up with a plan to save their reputation. Their solution? To strategically scapegoat one of their own employees. This decision sets off a chain reaction of absurdity as they try to navigate the murky waters of corporate lingo and workplace politics. The humor lies in their misguided attempts to appear professional while still being the same reckless group that fans have come to love.

As the episode unfolds, viewers can expect plenty of classic “It’s Always Sunny” antics,...

Robert Pattinson’s The Batman was a sobering experience for everyone involved in how effortlessly beautiful his Dark Knight would look when placed within James Gunn‘s Dcu. As a young, amateur, and budding superhero with his whole arc left untouched, Battinson would be the perfect counter to David Corenswet‘s bright-eyed and optimistic Superman.

But it was not meant to be. One of the first acts from the executive desk of James Gunn after his appointment as the head of DC Studios was to relegate Pattinson’s Batman to an Elseworlds universe. Now, a new Clayface update makes things even more bizarre for DC as the villain effortlessly migrates from The Batman‘s universe to the Dcu with no strings attached whatsoever.

What was supposed to be the headline...

As It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia embarks upon its 17th season, The Gang has repeatedly dropped hints that the end may be nigh for their long-running sitcom. But after Charlie Day’s cryptic quotes to reporters, Glenn Howerton’s reflections on nearly quitting the show and the Rcg Productions vanity card featuring some existential and/or possibly material complaints — “I don’t want to do this anymore, I want someone else to do it,” Howerton said in the reversed clip — Danny DeVito stepped in to set the record straight.

The man behind Frank Reynolds revealed what the future actually has in store for Paddy’s Pub, confirming that The Gang is staying together — at least through Season 18, the last season for which Always Sunny has been formally renewed.

“We’re going to go again next season,” DeVito explained during a recent conversation with Collider. “We just talked about when we’re going to start.

Twenty years is a long time to keep a show running on television, but that is exactly how long it's been since It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia made its debut on FX in 2005. The show has since established itself as the longest-running sitcom on television with sixteen seasons under its belt and Season 17 only recently released. The show's historic run has inspired a new book about itself, with pop-culture journalist Kimberly Potts releasing a book titled It's (Almost) Always Sunny in Philadelphia: How Three Friends Spent $200 to Create the Longest-Running Live-Action Sitcom in History and Help Build a Network. The new book, which was released alongside the show's seventeenth season, which arrived on July 9, looks to unravel the secrets of the show's iconic run.

Potts delves into the sitcom's origins, chronicles its rise, while dissecting what has propelled the FX comedy show to enduring popularity despite the passing years. Ultimately,...

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 premiered last week with the first two episodes of the season, including the second Abbott Elementary crossover episode. Of course, it was full of the gang's hilarious and unhinged shenanigans. That means we've got six more episodes to go, and you know we're already thinking about the Fxx comedy's future.

In 2025, Sunny hit its 20-year milestone of being on the air, making it the longest-running American sitcom ever. It's not an easy anniversary to reach in the world of television. Though with their inventive storylines with the characters, us viewers continue to be eager for more. With that being said, actors Charlie Day (Charlie Kelly) and Danny Devito's (Frank Reynolds) recent comments about the series have us a bit nervous.

Two years after The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released and became one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, Universal may have subtly announced that another project in this beloved Nintendo universe is on the way. The original movie premiered in 2023 and introduced audiences to Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day), and countless supporting characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.

With updates on The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2being unfortunately sparse, it seems like Universal Pictures may be focusing its attention elsewhere to expand this universe in a different direction. The studio recently acquired the film copyright for an untitled Donkey Kong movie, which could be the first of several spinoffs in Nintendo's budding movie franchise (via publicrecords.copyright.gov).

What The Donkey Kong Copyright Means For The Super Mario Franchise Donkey Kong May Be The Beginning Of A Large Franchise

While this isn't an official confirmation that a...

A recent copyright filing suggests that Nintendo and Universal are planning to make a Donkey Kong movie.

Thirty years after its first foray into movie-making, Nintendo hit the box office jackpot with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a CG-animated adventure about a plumber. Made in collaboration with animation house Illumination and Universal Pictures, the mushroom-encrusted romp made over $1.3bn worldwide, and Nintendo’s plans for further videogame adaptations began in earnest.

One project revealed to be in the works is a movie based on Donkey Kong – the anarchic ape character whose origins stretch back to the 1981 arcade machine of the same name. The film hasn’t been officially announced yet, but a filing at the US Copyright Office suggests that something called ‘Untitled Donkey Kong Project’ is at least in the early planning stages. (This was brought to our attention by Discussing Film on Bluesky.)

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphiahas been famously snubbed by the Emmys, and the author of a recent behind-the-scenes book provides some insight as to why. Author Kimberly Potts, who wrote It's (Almost) Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a book that's being published in July 2025, alongside It's Always Sunny season 17's FX release.

Kimberly Potts is an American journalist whose work has appeared in publications such as The New York Times. Her recent book explores how Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day went from being unemployed actors to some of the century's most renowned comedians through the creation of their hit series.

In an interview with Screen Rant's Brandon Zachary, author Kimberly Potts shared some insight on why the It's Always Sunny cast hasn't won an Emmy. She explains that Rob (McElhenney) didn't understand how "the game is played," referring to the Hollywood engine behind Awards shows. Read her full...

Potts analyzed the origin, rise, and enduring popularity of the Fxx comedy series, providing insights into what makes Always Sunny click. The number one thing that stood out to Potts is that everyone is having a good time. Potts shared this sentiment in an exclusive interview with ScreenRant's Brandon Zachary. Check out her full comment below:

Exclusive: The thing that stands out most is overall is just how much everybody has a good time on the show. Going there as a guest star, one of the recurring actors, the crew, the writers,...

Anyone who's ever watched "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" — or, frankly, the ABC procedural "High Potential" — knows exactly how funny Kaitlin Olson is. The actress, who earned fame and acclaim as "Sweet" Dee Reynolds throughout her time on "It's Always Sunny" — the show where she also met her husband Rob Mac, who created the series with co-stars Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day — is preternaturally hilarious, and her sense of comedic timing is second to none. Naturally, this extends to her physical comedy, which is why I'm not surprised that she nailed a tricky season 15 stunt in a single take.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly ahead of the episode, which is appropriately titled "Dee Sinks in a Bog," Olson got right to the point. "We shot an episode this season where Dee sinks in a bog, which I was very excited about, because it sounds hilarious," she told Derek Lawrence.

Chris Pratt will always be known for his role as Star Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but a few years ago, he starred in a major blockbuster that has returned to streaming charts. Pratt stars alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Jack Black in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the 2023 animated hit that sees Pratt voice the titular character, with Taylor-Joy voicing Princess Peach and Black as the villainous Bowser. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is currently streaming on Prime Video in America and both Prime and Netflix globally, where it’s charting in the top 10 in over 25 countries. The film earned a “rotten” 59% from critics but a “verified hot” 95% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it also grossed $1.3 billion at the global box office on a $100 million budget.

Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, Pierre Leduc, and Fabien Polack all co-directed The Super Mario Bros. Movie with a script from Matthew Fogel.

After a two-year wait, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 is finally here, and the season appears to be critically acclaimed. The show, which first debuted in August 2005, proved to be a surprise hit, as its dark humor helped the show earn international recognition. It even managed to cross over with the beloved Abbott Elementary recently.

The show is led by a close-knit core cast that includes Glenn Howerton (Dennis), Rob McElhenney (Mac), Charlie Day (Charlie), Kaitlin Olson (Sweet Dee), and Danny DeVito (Frank). As the group runs their bar, Paddy's Pub, they consistently get into ridiculous scenarios that leave them even worse off than when they started.

20 years after the show first premiered, it is back with It's Always Sunny season 17, and the season is already proving to be a strong one. With six reviews already in, this new batch of episodes has obtained the coveted 100% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Just like Slim Shady, Dexter Morgan's back (back again).

If you're keeping track at home, Dexter: Resurrection is the fourth series about the vigilante serial killer (portrayed by Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall). It's the sequel to the sequel of the original Emmy-winning drama (the fourth series in the popular franchise is a prequel). While we cannot say how Dexter survived a seemingly fatal gunshot wound in 2021's Dexter: New Blood, we're willing to bet the latest series — the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Paramount+ (the show airs Sunday at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on Showtime) — will answer this very question.

On Resurrection, the show's setting is moved to New York, and while there...

Although their characters have committed many crimes during the show’s now 17-season run, the greatest crime of all committed by the uber-talented folks behind It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia was making fans wait a full two years between seasons 16 and 17. But, all of that is water under the bridge now, as the first two episodes ofthe milestone-marking 17th season are streaming on Hulu, and we simply can’t stay mad after laughing for nearly an hour straight. Of course, now that Season 17 has arrived, we can’t help but wonder if the wait between this one and the next will be as long as it was before. A handful of installments were given the greenlight all at once, with 18 being the last one to fall under that umbrella, so we know that the episodes are on the way — it’s just a matter of when.

Luckily, we’ve got...

As a second-grade teacher, Abbott Elementary’s Janine Teagues is no stranger to four-letter words. But instead of “read,” “play” or “quiz,” The Gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia drove her to add a brand new term to her vocabulary: cunt.

During the second installment of the Abbott Elementary/Always Sunny crossover on Wednesday night, fans were shocked to hear the typically wholesome teacher played by Quinta Brunson resort to dropping the c-bomb while describing her newly-minted archnemesis, Dee Reynolds.

“It wasn’t until I saw the extra footage that I was able to realize just how much of a — I need to say a bad word,” she explained, getting the go-ahead from her on-screen beau and co-worker, Gregory Eddie. “How much of a total fucking cunt she was.”

Sparking immediate confusion from her partner — “I thought you was gonna call her a bitch,” he replied in visible awe...

A secret message hidden after the credits of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 could be a warning to the fans that the end is nigh – or maybe Brian LeFevre just found out that he has another kid in North Dakota.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is already the longest running live-action sitcom in American TV history, so, twenty minutes into the run, us fans who are still tuning in every week should just count ourselves lucky that FX keeps renewing the show’s contract, and that Danny DeVito is still kicking despite the confectionary trickery of the most recent episode. With Season 17 underway, we only have a few more weeks until another dreaded hiatus drags out the fandom’s discussions about when the Paddy’s Pub Gang will call it quits.

FX has already extended It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia through Season 18, so we know that this year will...

The cast of the greatest musical in Philadelphia community theater history is open to a revival. They just have to figure out the right answer to the timeless question: “Who’s the mark?”

Back on November 20, 2008, FX and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia released an episode of television that was so powerful and inspiring that it pulled the entire United States of America out of its deep slump due to the ongoing financial crisis and taught us to believe in the power of collaboration and the audacity of hope. Unfortunately, idiot savage historians will probably attribute the national mood improvement in late 2008 to the election of President Barack Obama, but Always Sunny fans know that it was “The Nightman Cometh” — and its subsequent stage production tour — that really turned things around for this country.

Today, as domestic strife, international conflict and economic anxiety once again plague our great nation,...

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returned with part 2 of a crossover with Abbott Elementary, and its most shocking moment gets explained by star and executive producer Charlie Day. Both sitcoms take place in the city of Philadelphia, where the first part of the crossover occurred in Abbott Elementary season 4, episode 9, "Volunteers." It's Always Sunny in Philadelphiaseason 17 premiered on July 9 on Fxx.

In an interview with Variety, Day details the most shocking moment of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 premiere with Quinta Brunson's Janine cursing about Dee to the documentary crew. Janie is upset that Dee tried to steal her boyfriend, Gregory, and after pausing to say she needs to say a bad word, she staggeringly describes Dee as a "f---king c--t."

Day notes that for the crossover to be a success, the cast of Abbott Elementary had to fully be in the same world as the It's Always Sunny characters.

Hey jabronis, there are spoilers for the latest season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" ahead.

There are quite a few great running gags woven deep into the lore of the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" gang, but one of the funniest is Frank's (Danny DeVito) love of a good fake-out. In a move he learned from his scumbag business partner Eugene (David Huddleston), Frank loves to set people up to believe one thing only to reveal that it was all pretend to begin with. There's usually no ulterior motive beyond Frank trying to teach someone a lesson, so it's not quite like Charlie (Charlie Day) or his mom faking cancer. Still, Frank's fake-outs can be just as emotionally devastating.

Fans first learned of the fake-out in the Frank-defining episode "A Very Sunny Christmas" when his assumed children, Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson), shared a home video from...
