Product Information

It’s gone through numerous changes over the years, including new cast members, bigger budgets, and dramatic physical transformations from creator/star Rob McElhenney. Of course Dennis has decided not to take the vaccine, after all, he loves to boast about the control he has over his body. In fact, a recent episode of the show had the characters acknowledge their wrongdoings for engaging in Blackface in a meta turn of events. Taking another break from the norm, five of the episodes follow a linear narrative, something they’ve never done on such a scale before.

Because we’ve seen these characters in so many scenarios, naturally we want to see their responses to the biggest event in living history. In 2020, when questioned about this backlash, McElhenney stated: “we failed in some ways and what we’ve been trying to do throughout the last few years is ameliorate that in a lot of ways”. While many TV shows have steered clear from mentioning the C-word over the past couples of years, IASIP isn’t afraid to drop some Covid references into the script. It’s not like I haven’t many to choose from either, with the show now entering its 15th season on air, making it the longest running live action sitcom of all time. There have perhaps been more American sitcoms to emerge over the years than audiences even know what to do with.Notably, the characters are never rewarded for their misdeeds, as they face continual punishment for their depravity. In recent years, its passionate fanbase has grown globally and rapidly, with its popularity arguably owing a debt to availability on Netflix. Thankfully, all episodes featuring Blackface have now been pulled from streaming services, with apologies issued.

In light of criticism of previous episodes in which the Sunny characters used blackface while recreating Danny Glover’s role in their previous versions of Lethal Weapon – Netflix removed the episodes from their streaming site. That makes it the perfect fit for Mac, Charlie, Dennis, and the rest of the gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. As anyone who has lost friends over a heated game of Monopoly knows, the board game thrives on chaos. The popularity and longevity of Always Sunny can be prescribed to two things: the depravity of its characters and their satirical reflections on society.The laughs are never aimed at the victims of the gang but at the gang themselves, who are a satirical parable of the most deplorable denizens.

The language used on the show has similarly changed, ensuring hate speech isn’t given a platform to breathe.In recent years, viewers have reevaluated the message this sends as to what is appropriate in comedy. The standard game tokens have been replaced with items from the show, including a Rat Stick, a Rum Ham, and a mitten-clad kitten. Created by Rob McElhenney and developed with Glenn Howerton, the show first began premiering on FX back in 2005, swiftly earning something of a cult following.
